Just so you know, "calcium-enriched" water gel is of no use to your chameleon. The water part is useful for hydrating the crickets, but the calcium in it is useless and will not be metabolized by your chameleon. They just sell those products because they know people will buy them just because of...

You know, I've been wondering this, too, lately! I've seen a bunch of cicadas in my backyard and they're so big I'd love to feed them off to my panther if they're safe. Unfortunately I don't know for certain, though

Yeah, it's definitely tougher to attach branches and whatnot in glass cages as opposed to screen. I have two suggestions: Live plants. These will provide natural perches, increase humidity, and provide snacks. Schefflera and ficus are my go-to's. They also provide structure points that you can...

"I think she hates her new home and her new owner" Yep, that's a veiled chameleon all right! They aren't known for being friendly critters haha. She just isn't used to you and chameleons are highly prone to stress even from small changes. So changing her location AND keeper is a combination to...

What happened to your screen enclosure from your post on Aug 24th?? (https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/what-should-i-get.170951/)

That's honestly so cool! I'd love to study them, too

They're actually lizards, so the common name is misleading. These are the ones that squirt blood (or a blood-like substance) from their eyes if I'm not mistaken!

Oh okay, perfect!! That's one of the most common mistakes we see here, so I always like to double-check. I actually use the same reflectors that you do for the plant bulb

The enclosure looks great! However, I think you're using the wrong type of UVB light. Is that a compact model? It needs to be the linear kind, which is as long as your cage is wide, otherwise your chameleon will be deprived of proper UVB and develop metabolic bone disease over time

That's just a typical chameleon for you. Time is about the only thing that will get him used to you. If they know you're watching, then they'll keep an eye on you because they view you as a predator

By the way, you'll want to remove that repti-carpet ASAP! Harbors dangerous bacteria and offers nothing useful to the chameleon

I wish you could find grasshoppers for sale in stores around me! However, there are definitely a fair number of members here who feed wildcaught hoppers. I think you would be fine to do so. Do not feed anything dead to a chameleon, though.

There is a HUGE difference between a medical professional doing this as opposed to your dad who has readily demonstrated that he does not care about this animal in the slightest. The poor thing is being forced to suffer so much more than she needs to

This image someone drew of a "hypothetical generic chameleon" is lowkey the stuff of nightmares

This is very common as they get older, nothing to worry about. As they grow, they stop "exploding" with shed all over their body all at once
