He's adorable! Congrats!

My veiled Louie had yet to eat any dubias except for the very small nymphs. He's actually about 6 months old and big for his age, but he just doesn't seem to like them, despite my offering them three times a week. It seems to be hit or miss... Some peoples veiled loves them, others won't touch...

I read this lady's article about breeding hawk moths/hornworms while doing research, and from what she said, it sounds like its not uncommon for them to die while pupating. She also recommended checking the cases weekly in car more die, so you can get them out before they rot. Here's the link...

I notice it says "calcium plus"... What does it have besides calcium? If it is Vitamin D3, then it is not safe to use it frequently or every day because you can overdose your chameleon on Vitamin D. I use plain calcium powder every day for my juvenile veiled chameleons and 3x a week for my...

I just read an interesting article about how Hawai'ian field crickets are evolving to have flat wings, making them chirpless. If you want to read the article, gets the link: http://www.nature.com/news/evolution-sparks-silence-of-the-crickets-1.15323 My only question is can they be imported? :)

Sorry to hear you're having so many problems with your new cham. A picture would help immensely so we can see what you are talking about with his skin problem. Also, as long as your cham is in a ventilated enclosure (like a screened Viv), humidity shouldn't cause an RI if you're keeping your...

So pretty! I love how his stripes are bright green at the top and fade into red. Very handsome man!

Thanks jannb and lathis! I will be sure to watch his sheds everytime, occurring that persnickety patch of his leg.

I agree a vet visit should be in order. Whether it's end of life care or something treatable, you owe it to your buddy, who is now an old man, to get a qualified medical exam. I have no idea what could be wrong with him so I'm not going to even try to guess. In regards to your euthanasia...

Hello all and thanks for looking at my question. I'm a relatively new chameleon keeper and I'm wondering what scientific journals, magazines, periodicals, etc., are read by the advanced hobbyists here? Whether they are digital or print, subscription or free, doesn't matter. I'm very interested...

I vote Artemis. She looks like she has a keen eye for hunting.

I have two veileds and one Jackson's. (111)

What type of tank are you using? Your Viv looks super nice!! Have you ever tried dubia nymphs with your pygmies? They actually look a lot like wood lice, so I wondered if they would work as well?

I went through the same exact thing with my veiled Louie. I moved him to the XL reptibreeze, which was too large for the table I had his old 18x18x36 on. I sat it on a shorter, larger table and he didn't seem happy at all. He wasn't eating, he looked stressed and he was either pacing or hiding...

First, I want to say congrats on the fact that are well prepared before buying your cham. You will be much more successful for it, and be a much better cham owner. I have to agree with scout, reptile show prices are inflated. And I always heard reptile shows have great deals and bargain...

He looks like a she unless his heel spur is hidden in the pic above. Either way, it's cute! I'm with jannb for the age, about 2 months or so.

That stinks!! Maybe trade a friend for something your chams do like, or trade/sell them online local like Craigslist. I haven't tried hornworms yet, but none of my chams have liked any new foods I've tried to supplement with. Crickets are the only thing they get excited about so far. They won't...

According to the FLChams site, petunias are safe for chameleons. http://veiledchameleon.com/safe-plant-list I've never tried them in an enclosure, but I bet they will do awesome.

Just wanted to add an update for anyone reading this in the future: I tried warm water, mineral oil and q-tips several times to loosen the tag up, but it wouldn't budge, so Yoshi and I went to the vet. Vet said it was retained shed skin, and that is not uncommon with Jackson's. Also, I...
