Keeping two potentially sick animals in the same area is not a smart way to do quarantine... They should be isolated from each other as well as your other animals. They need a visual barrier. And the cham should not be able to see any light from the snake at night. The size of that enclosure is...

Is it me or does she look quite skinny? The arms look skeletal. Please post a photo of the entire enclosure. I suspect that may be part of the issue

Surprised this hasn't been commented on... Why is your chameleon in the sink??

What size is that enclosure? It looks too small from the pic and is poorly setup to suit a chameleon's needs.

Gutload: the orange cubes you are using are not appropriate for chameleon's. They are nutritionally useless and will not provide a growing chameleon the nutrients it needs. It would be better to switch to fresh produce or a respected brand of pre-made gutload like Cricket Crack which is made...

dubia, orange head, ivory, red runner, green banana, etc. A quick search in the search bar will give you more information than you could ever need

Oh you're right, I was looking at the wooden ones in the pictures someone else posted and thought those were the ones we were talking about. The ones you linked will not hold in any humidity at all, so you would need to cover the vast majority of the outside with plastic or something. More of a...

I would be concerned about two things: (1) keeping humidity up, and (2) where to house the lights. Since it isn't screen-topped, you would have to either modify it or put the light fixtures inside the enclosure, which is a big burn risk

Try experimenting with different food items, that can really help them warm to you. Mine was shy at first, too, until I introduced her to small black soldier flies! Also if she recently came in from Madagascar, there is a high possibility of her being gravid already

Gorgeous cham! Looks nearly identical to my own. I feel pretty darn confident that that is a female you have there. As for the enclosure, I say bigger is always better. I would be sure to add significantly more foliage in there as well as some specifically horizontal twigs/wines/etc. Try to...

Beautiful!! Congrats :D

The best quality T5 HO lights available are the Arcadia bulbs at lightyourreptiles.com :) Alternatively, Reptisun also offer T5HO bulbs instead of the compact ones you get in the kit. Linear reptisuns are easier to find in real life, whereas Arcadia bulbs will need to be ordered (although they...

There are other differences including color/vibrance, but I find the hemipenes to be the most reliable indicator. Check this paper out for more details than you probably wanted haha...

Also: judging from the pictures of the boettgeri you posted... The one in your first post is absolutely male. The one you posted today looks more likely female

Here's my setup as your formatted yours for an easy comparison: Enclosure: 18x18x24 Exo Terra glass terrarium Substrate: Homemade ABG mix, combined with Josh's Frogs bioactive substrate. Heavily planted vivarium, significant leaf litter, and infinite springtails and isopods (dairy cow and...

There are a lot of problems here, but there is nothing you can do at this moment other than bring him to a vet. There are many reptile vets in Minnesota. From the pictures, especially the eyes, it looks like he is well on his way towards dying. We can go over changes to your husbandry later...

That is not a safe assumption to make, although I understand why one may think it is. Many people, including respected members of the forums, consider the Rubber Plant to be toxic and a no-no. Just as Schefflera actinophylla is considered toxic (http://www.chameleonnews.com/04AugSnow.html)...

Nice! Now the F. willsii club on the forums has a whole three members! We're going places :cool:

We need to see pictures of the enclosure (and chameleon) to make any meaningful comments

You should not be misting while he is asleep. This disrupts their sleep. For night-time humidity (which is the best source of hydration in chams), it is best to use a humidifier
