My Cham sleeps all weird all the time. They are complete goofballs sometimes. Mine has even fallen off of his branch while sleeping.
Nice username by the way. I've collected hundreds of those things. They're great for throwing.
Pay attention to the signals your Cham will send you. Once you understand them, you can communicate and stay in the safe zone.
I ignored the signals here. That was my mistake, and not my animal's fault. I cannot blame him for chomping my ass.
We are still buddies, but I sure do listen to him...
My Panther chameleon bit me once.
ONCE. I still haven't forgotten. He drew blood INSTANTLY with such little effort, it was chilling. I don't bleed easily. He left me with a piece of my finger missing.
Yep, they have teeth. They're sharp. As hell.
It's funny that Disney and the general...
No problem!
I would really recommend against painting the foam. If anything, you can use some brown or black silicone. Paint will likely dry up and flake off, and can cause problems with your Chameleon. The UV light is very strong and would wreak havoc on paint. Also, if your chameleon care is...
I was going to ask. LOL. The input tube looks to be close to level with the pump, which wouldn't create much stress for the pump at all. Even in a pump above bucket setup, the MistKing would likely last years.
That Parson's is absolutely STUNNING. You aren't making it any easier on me. I want...
I am not qualified to comment on her BMI status, but I have to say, those rolls when she bends over are absolutely ADORABLE. If that is unhealthy, then I apologize, but she's freaking cute.
I have always worried about my guy being a bit skinny, but he has a Mini roll and a fat tail now, so I'm...
Thank you very much! It was a labor of love and a super fun project. I recommend the Dragon Strand cages 100%. If you every have any questions, PM me and I will tell you anything I know.
Thanks buddy! Everything I said was just from the top of my head, and was based on almost a year of...
This is my video on youtube, I talk about the whole enclosure and the plants, and what I have found works well and doesn't. For information purposes only. I am not an expert and do not claim to be. I just love chameleons, like everyone here.
I have the large clear side atrium from DragonStrand. It's incredible. I'll link to my video on YouTube. I set it up with a drain and the drip tray. It's extremely low maintenance.
This is my lord in his castle. He just got done snacking on blue worms and gracing me with his presence. Off to his chambers he goes, not to be bothered with the human species. Alas, to find a good servant is difficult in these parts.
Good job. We have a no lights on rule also when it's the chams bedtime. He lives in a massive cage in our bedroom upstairs, so it's very calm up there for him. As for the handling, here's my basic rule set for my guy. It isn't one size fits all, so you can modify it as needed once you have built...
GREAT JOB! Building trust is hard and takes a LONG time. It took me two months of CONSTANT effort to get my Panther Cham to not try to bite me. He was super mega aggressive at first (abused rescue) and now he is really chill. I hand feed all the time, and now I fear I have created a monster. He...
I've had no luck with uploading a video to my youtube, and have been really busy for the last couple of days. I promise a video tomorrow! I would do it now, but smaug is sleeping, and I really don't want to push my luck. He did end up biting me for the first time the other night when he was...
