I don't know exactly how it happened. I'd always known about chameleons but I didn't think anyone kept them as pets until at some point in college while looking for pet geckos I stumbled on the Scremealeons website and saw panthers for sale. I was intrigued and researched them a bit but at the...

Congratulations Dayna! And welcome to the world baby Wesley!

I think that's a cool space! If it were mine, I think I would take 4 beams and place one at each corner of the roof to make an enclosure, screen it all, and make a walk-in door on one side. Then (if it's possible) I would plant something in the well, like a ficus or something, and then hang a...

Nice! What cuties!

I don't go into the details of my cham-keeping with strangers lol But people always think it's weird when you do something they would never do. I, as an example, think my best friend is nuts for having to get up at 5 with her 2 babies (1 and 4) and go through a 2-3 hour morning routine before...

Yea, I use it as a duster or a gutload sometimes, depending on what mood I'm in. It's full of beta carotenoids, so for example all the good stuff found in things like carrots, and they could over time help bring out a chameleon's natural warm colors (reds and oranges). And since it contains a...

I'm so sorry for your loss!

Congratulations! And look at that baby bump go! What a cute thing to do to follow a pregnancy.

I'm sure your vet is probably phenomenal with typical domestic animals, probably with common birds and some reptiles, but with what we're hearing right now I don't think that chameleons are something he's extremely experienced with. You wouldn't be alone, it's tough for all of us to find vets...

Is your chameleon's mouth yellow? I'd find myself another vet, as this one doesn't seem to know chameleons very well. Yellow is a normal mouth color for panthers, and isn't by itself indicative of anything. Also, the yogurt seems like a weird suggestion for a liver issue, especially since...

Bleach is fine, so long as it gets rinsed well and then air dries outside. Anything that you use I would let sit for at least 10 minutes, as a lot of these cleaners need a little time to really disinfect properly. So let it soak, rinse well with water, and then air dry outside.

On carpet? He's fine. I've seen chameleons fall from much higher than that onto carpet and unless he is suffering from weakened bones for whatever reason or had the bad luck to land on something hard/sharp (like a corner) he should be a little stunned but fine.

Panthers and veileds are the most in demand and easiest to breed so it's easier to mount a business around them. But there are small breeders that specialize in other species, but since they might be slow/difficult to breed and/or difficult to acquire lots of breeding adults it is much harder to...

All my light fixtures (all normal, simple ones from Home Depot) have always been plugged into a normal timer and they switch on and off like nothing. I do let my temps fluctuate. If the room itself is getting too warm at noon in the middle of summer I will have the timer switch off the lights...

Gorgeous! And I can't believe the size of that last one, awesome!

He's beautiful, awesome addition!

I suppose it depends on your climate. For me here in Florida a large outdoor cage would be the best option, since I don't need anything to stay warmer than the ambient temperature. But if you lived somewhere that gets colder then a green house would be the best option. And for the sake of being...

That's fine, I know I'm in the minority of people that are not anti-substrate in cages lol But I've worked with vets and exotic animals a long time and all the impaction cases I've ever seen are in already-sick animals, usually with MBD, or with a bad object like a rock or shard of bark. And...

I'm not against soil in cages so I say that sounds fine, but I'm the minority opinion lol Unless you cover the soil with that really pretty terrarium moss that grows in clumps I would just leave the soil bare, something like sphagnum moss will be a nightmare to maintain, since bugs will dig into...

Yea, I don't think it's a problem either. He probably enjoys it! Maybe angle it in such a way that he still has one dry(ish) corner to escape to if he's not in the mood. Just to give him that option, but otherwise I think it's fine. I leave all of mine outside even through bad rainstorms. The...
