My Cham does this when he wants to be left alone, if he does do it it's usually in the morning when he's basking (he's not a morning lizard). I don't have to be moving fast for him to respond like that, it can be something as simple as me looking at his humidity gage. I don't take offense, I...

LLL Reptile has screen enclosures of various sizes & will ship to you. They are one of the sponsors on this site. As for a mist system, I have a "Monsoon" which I am not too pleased with; I'd reccomend a "Mistking" instead. Nick is right, you'll be spending at least $500 (Cham, enclosure, mist...

Armando graciously posted the link I was referring to for you! Best of luck!

While Becca is correct about lightly dusting crickets for supplementation, white salt like crust around the nostrils is generally not calcium and is more apt to be potassium chloride, sodium chloride or may simply be sodium or potassium. Many lizards (not all) have salt glands which aid them in...

Lol! I've always been a reptile girl. My first real rescue (besides freeing any alligator lizards, horned toads, or gopher snakes from my brother's "prison") was when I was 9. It was a king snake that had been ran over by a bicycle. It was all banged up. I swooped it up and with my mom's help...

My cham also had the some signs of MBD when I first purchased him (he was returned to the breeder by a neglectful owner and for me it was love at first sight, even with his issues). I too use Repashy Calcium Plus and at my last well check up vet appointment I was informed that the progression of...

I agree with Ulrich. Chameleons are only reptiles...no matter how much we love & adore our cold blooded friends. They generally associate their owners with positive experiences (hopefully) such as food, free range time or maybe just being a nice warm spot to rest upon (inside my shirt or arm...

Chams are also fairly delicate & can contract infections (sometimes due to excessive stress or inadequate husbandry) and at times can contract parasites via food sources. They are a specialty pet. A good analogy I heard (or read...can't recall) was to view them almost as having a saltwater...

Ferret is a "she" I believe ;). The forum is very blessed to have her & Dr.O's wealth of knowledge. Her Chameleon Care blog is an absolute asset to maintaining healthy, happy Chams. I'd recommend it to any new or less seasoned owners.

That's a handsome fellow you got there ;) Rest easy!

My Cham does that when he sheds; it helps him loosen up that old itchy skin. He does it every time (rather vigorously too!)

Oh my gosh! I was wondering if the little fella was ok. Great job! I'm so happy to read the good news! Yay :p

I'm so happy he's improving! A million thank yous to you for saving him!

Wow! Love the blog! Going to try some of your dry outlaid recipies! Glad to learn to limit collards!

Sounds like he is a fighter! I'm glad he's showing improvement! He sounds like he's in good hands.

I'm having this same problem as of now! Pascal is hooked on crickets! I've ordered him silkies (he ate 3 out of 50 ordered), phoenix worms (ate like 5), small supers (liked them for two weeks and then said "nope!"), butter worms (just stared at them), and just yesterday I offered him dubias. I...

In the OC area there is also Prehistoric Pets (I remember I used to get my rabbits there for my albino Burmese and rats for my Colombian red tail). They're in Huntington Beach (possibly Fountain Valley but Im pretty sure HB). They specialize in reptiles..ah nostalgia setting in; memories...:p

Thanks for the info! I'm not too worried about my guy's color; I've seen his sire and he's a beautiful specimen but not anything shocking. Pascal is showing lots of promise color wise and I gut load with lots of organic fresh fruit and veggies (collards, red/orange bellpepper, sweet potato...

Lol- I have crickets all over my house! My cats usually take care of them :D Sorry I couldn't provide any help..but made me giggle to think about all the crickets hopping around our houses!

Has anyone used and had positive results with Repashy superpig for aid in color enhancement? Thanks a bunches for your info!
