Nate, Thanks so much for sharing your parson's growth spurts pics!! Hope it encourages others to take chronological growth pics of their Chameleon, too and post them up for all of us to admire! How did you get your Parsons?? Since they are so hard to obtain, maybe I should repharase...

Need your recommendation for an Orange County Vet Hi Dave, You seem so knowledgeable regarding Chameleons and wish I could use you but I live in Orange County and it's a pretty far drive up to Manhattan Beach in L.A. Can you or others on the forum recommend an experienced Vet down in...

Hi Skittles, The smaller Mom and Pop pet shops might carry the Terramycin oitment(That's where I got it from) or try a Livestock and grain store. I would get out the yellow pages and just call around before you special order it thru the internet since it would be ideal to get the stuff as...

Hi Sierra Nevada, Can you please post pictures of your humidifier set-up.....Maybe I could get my husband to duplicate your same set-up!! Christine

Hi Christy, I think 2-3 weeks hunger strike means that there are other underlying health issues! Yes, most Chameleons can quickly become bored with the same old insects day in, day out and will cease to eat but in my opinion, 3-4 day hunger strike due to pickiness is O.K but after one...

I advocate early handling on a daily basis. Wow, so sorry you got bitten...My husband also got severly bitten by our first male Veil who was 5 months old at that time. It took a while for his finger to heal! I know that I'm going to get a lot of flap from those owners in the school of...

My Recommendation: Fluker's Repta Aid(buy thru Internet) Excellent for anorexic, malnorished, and dehydrated candidates. Make sure you get the one formulated for Chameleons. Stuff also has quite a long shelf life since it comes in a powder form that you reconsitute with water. I...

Thanks, Will for the info!! Off to get my humidifier!! Christine

Thanks for the feedback! Hi! Appreciate your input! Follow-up Question: What makes these professional humidifiers different than my old-fashion method of just filling water in my electrical tea pot and creating steam.?? There are some humidifiers that also do cool steam.....Is that...

Hi everybody! There are so many different brands and price ranges of Humidifiers in the market. What are your suggestions and recommendations? I live in a place where it's sunny and warm most of the year but I need increased humidity in the air especially when we get our Santa Ana winds...

Excellent description of the shedding!! Hi rmhuey! My 1 1/2 year old Male Veil does exactly the shedding that you described regarding your Female Jackson. Sounds like very normal shedding to me and it shows that your Jackson, like my Veil is well and healthy when you see them shed at...

Part of problem lies with the breeder, too! Hi everybody, Hey, What type of person(backyard reptile breeder types??) sells his baby Chameleons to these retail pet shops like Petco in the first place!! I can almost bet that these so-call breeders make almost zero profit from selling them...

Where do you live? Jacksons thrive in year-round high humid but cooler temps such as the Upper Northwest like Seattle or Oregon. If you live in places like Arizona or Southern CA, you would have to do constant misting to provide that high humidy range and make sure that there is enough...

So very sorry for your loss.....How old was your little guy? At what age did you purchase him from LL Reptile? Christine

A generalized theory on growth/length indicators?? Hi everybody, Maybe I'm totally wrong but this is my own theory: 1 inch (total length) equal to 1 month old. 2 inch(total length) equal to 2 month old. 3 inch(total length) equal to 3 month old. After over 3 months...

How offensive do you find Mulberry Mash??Male or Female I had to laugh and totally agree with the previous feedbacks regarding the smell of the mulberry mash especially after you have just made a fresh batch of it! It was Leena who made a statement that the smell resembled a Green Tea...

Try a temporary small size feeding mesh cage Hi Dalton, My opinion is that he's not getting his prey because your cage is too big for his ultra small size and he is not in reach of the insects because they scatter and hide. Because he is so young, I would suggest buying a real small mesh...

Worst thing is a Misdiagnosis!! Hi everybody, Royden summed it up very well!! My add-on: When a Vet doesn't know what he's doing, not only is it a waste of money, it could lead to potential death for a Chameleon if misdiagnosed!! It happened to me with my past Panther who was...

Hi Dashboard, 10 weeks is way too young for a Chameleon to endure a real shower from your bathroom shower head!! I say wait until your Chameleon is at least 6 months old or older before even giving it a real shower. (Obviously, you initially start off with the shower head at a very low...

Awfully young to show signs of a Vitamin A deficiency?? Hi! My previous Panther Chameleon did have a Vitamin A deficiency and unfortunetly died but he was a lot older...around 9 months. One of his eyes closed starting when he was around 7 months of age and from there, he slowly went...
