Can I ask where you got them? Mediterranean Chameleons aren’t that common of a kept species, especially here in the states. Not a lot of care sheets or captivity knowledge on these guys, but I’d assume it’s care is similar to a veiled chameleon? They live in somewhat the same religion.

No you don’t, I have fake vines. The fake vines are nice as long as you get the correct ones.

He’s got the little pink chicken legs!

I’ll tag a few people to help. @MissSkittles @kinyonga @Beman I’ll come and review your husbandry when I can.

T5 is the way to go, they’re known to be more efficient at delivering UVB rays. I would go with linear as they’re more reliable and safe option for getting you chameleon the UVB it needs. Mediterranean Chameleon? I’ve heard of them but never heard of them in captivity. Can I have some pics?

So, give him a few days and not feed him, then see if he’ll accept food, if not. Id give him 2 syringes of repti care a week, then repeat the process of trying to get him to eat. Syringe feeding is really stressful for these guys. You should do as @MissSkittles and do a husbandry/care review...

I don’t whether you be astonished or grossed out… I’ve never seen a tarantula eat a hornworm… what a world we live in.

Update after the soak. I noticed some of the tip of his tail had fallen off. Besides that it looked way better already. Gave it another soak and out some Ointment on it. He’s getting ready for bed as I type this.

So with feeding, if you’re using the flukers repti care (whatever it’s called) you need to be careful with calcium intake as you can give them too much of it.

Hello, I decided to make a video on the 3 ways I try to syringe feed my chameleons. I’ve never posted on YouTube so sorry if it’s horrible lol! I thought this might help a few of the members with force feeding. Also big thanks to my chameleon zeppelin. He got a big hornworm and some free roam...

That’s a good temp For night. Just as longneck as temps are adequate in the morning.

I’ll post a video in a different thread and tag you.

How low do temps drop? what do you mean by grabbing him by the casque? If you think grabbing him by the casque while feeding is causing the bending then you shouldn’t do it. I never grab my boys by their casque while feeding them. If you need I can post a video on how I syringe feed my...

I also see the purple bulb, is that a night heat bulb? If so you should just completely get rid of it, they don’t need nighttime heat, they benefit from a nighttime temperatures drop.

He’s either had MDB in the past or currently has it or developing it. He’s got a bent casque, meaning he didn’t get right supplementation or lighting. It’s not deadly to have a bent casque, two of mine have bent casque due to improper husbandry from before. MBD is deadly though, you should get...

Ah, like owner like pet, I see I see.. I wear old man cargo pants, so don’t feel to bad.

Update on the lil guy. I didn’t get to give him the iodine soak and retreat his tail since family from out of state came and I spent a bit of time with them. Before I headed off to work this morning he gobbled up a dubia and silk worm. I left more in there to see if he wanted to eat while I was...

Looks like he’s wearing skinny jeans, thought they were going out of fashion? 🤔

I love my draecana plants
