HE ATE FROM MY HAND THIS MORNING! Successfully! I didn’t drop the cricket like I had been with the tweezers! Oh I’m so excited! Thank you for the advice!

I guess I didn’t think of holding it with my fingers because Leo’s very aggressive toward my fingers. Any ideas for curbing that aggression?

Thank you guys! How old would you say he is? By my information he’s 5-6 months. Does that seem right?

This is going to sound dumb, but how do you keep the cricket on your hand?

Oh good! I've tried to offer him BSFL and super worms...but he won't touch anything but crickets. I'll keep trying though! I'll switch to kale then! Thank you for that information!

Since Leo is my first chameleon of any species, I don't fully trust myself to recognize if something is wrong. While he has been acting completely normal, I wanted to post a recent photo of him with some information on my husbandry so those of you that are more experienced can look everything...

I've tried to feed Leo with long wooden tongs twice lately and initially he hisses. I've just kept them there until he calms down and realizes there's a moving cricket at the end of the wooden tongs. Once he calms down he tries to get the cricket from the tongs, but I think I'm doing something...

You can really see Leo's blue coming in here.

No, I usually only feed him twice a day, about 15-20 crickets total. I’ll take a look at that thread when I get a chance. Thank you so much! It’s good to know they don’t regulate themselves. Knowing that will influence how I feed him for sure!

I can’t find what I’m looking for on any other thread so I decided to just start a new one. I’m a little worried I’m overfeeding Leo. My cat self-regulates her food intake so I could give her a full bowl at every feeding and she will only eat until she’s full. Do chameleons also self-regulate? I...

Thank you guys so much! I'm still a fairly new chameleon mom (I got Leo in October) so every little thing that I haven't seen before freaks me out. His basking branch is between 6-8 inches from the bulb (it's diagonal) and the temperature at the branch measures 85 degrees.

I'm 99.99% sure I'm just being paranoid...but is this a burn? Is he just developing new coloring? Whenever the colors on his casque change I worry that it's a burn... :confused:

For the summer I’ll bring home the enclosure he’s in right now. I have 2 months off in the summer. Right now I only have 2 weeks off and I’m in a small place (we move in a few months). I’m about to order a smaller cage for him to be in at home. He’s only about 4 months old, so a small cage...

I didn’t think of that! That might be possible! If not, any alternative ideas?

So Leonardo is currently in a Zoo Med X-Large Repti Breeze Aluminum Screen Cage.The cage measures 2' by 2' by 4'. There is a shower curtain attached to three sides to help with the humidity. Leonardo is only about 3 months old, but he explores his large enclosure quite a bit. Winter break will...

I have a poop question that I wasn't able to answer from reading the Chameleon Poop 101 thread. Leonardo has been having normal bowl movements, but a day or so ago I noticed that his poop looked a little mucous-y on the end. I included some photos. In one of the photos I had mushed (I know...ew)...

Oh good! (y) I was worried and confused because his basking spot is 6+ inches from the heat source.
