Do you have any previous experience with chameleons? T. hoehnelii are not a a beginner species and the enclosure you have set up needs a lot of work to become acceptable for a chameleon to live. They way it's setup now is very ill-suited to a chameleon's needs. Everything needs to be moved up...

He isn't struggling with his shed, he's just shedding normally. It does not all come off at once.

I think you're overthinking it personally - which is not a bad thing! I live in one of the coldest places in the US (colder than anywhere in the UK I believe) and have never had a problem using screen enclosures. I think you should pick what you like best! Heat isn't really the issue to be...

Cat food?? Just so you know for the future, that is not an acceptable food for chameleons under any circumstances. It isn't even an acceptable gutload ingredient. Way too high in protein and can lead to gout.

So exciting! This species on my bucket list for sure

I dunno who gave you that dangerous misinformation, but to be clear it is NOT rare for females to lay eggs without mating. It is inevitable and a natural part of their biology.

Why so far away? That's like twice as far away as basking branches usually allow chameleons to get. And keep in mind that UVB's efficacy drops considerably the further away the bulb is. With your current setup, for example, the UVB light should really be resting directly on the screen top of...

I find moss to be a huge pain in the you-know-what. I can never seem to find the right combo of light and moisture to get it to survive long term indoors

Have you kept chameleons before? What, exactly, is the temperature and humidity? What lights are you using? People say "I have it set up just right" all the time around here and then we see that they were actually mistaken and things needed improvement. Please share the specifics with us...

Well air plants die after they bloom. But since they are alive atm, their DNA wants to propagate so, if all is well and the plant is healthy, they should produce several pups after they flower but before they die. The pups can be safely removed from the plant after they reach a certain size (I...

My first chameleon was from the Newton bloodline, too, although that was many years ago. He was never friendly and had no interest in interacting with people whatsoever. What you're experiencing is nothing out of the ordinary and it is most definitely best to leave your guy alone and just let...

It's all about the sturdy, branching plants imo. Ficus benjamina, ficus alii, schefflera arboricola, and schefflera amate being some of the most common and best. I like the look of pothos, but they aren't especially useful for a full grown panther or veiled to walk on in my experience - too...

You ought to just start your own thread. It is bad etiquette to revive multiple threads from the dead, which just add clutter to the site. People will be happy to respond on a new thread, although I don't know how many wild cham hunters we have around here these days

There are no circumstances in which compact UVB bulbs are appropriate chameleons. A linear 5.0 is what you should go with. My guess is you have a female from the last photo, but I can't honestly be sure. Almost no one keeps senegal's around here these days, so I'm not really familiar with...

Why can't you get a chameleon after you move? Seems unnecessary and honestly a little bit cruel to get such a young chameleon only to put it through the stress of moving so soon while it will still be settling in. Also, you can have a chameleon shipped to your door. I don't understand what time...

He looks gravely ill, the poor thing. Unfortunately in his current state, taking him to a vet is your only real option. There are items in your husbandry that require changing, which I will address below, but a vet appointment needs to be your first priority. First of all hydration -- 10...

Ahhh yes, the good old fashioned chamforums Rumspringe!

Don't feed chameleons dead insects, period.

A lot to cover here. Firstly, are you sure it is male? If he is indeed male, then he is not going to be showing you any receptive colors. That's a female thing. The black marking are probably just his native patterns. Remember you have a chameleon - their colors are dynamic. Handling: That's...
