This is fantastic news that she is pooping now! So happy for you! If you are going to order a MistKing for your Cham, and you have only one (that will change, lol) I think the basic starter kit is good enough! I have the basic system and run 5 cages off it so it is definitely enough for one...

There is no point in treating an eye problem without first clarifying one thing and that is lighting. You mention an "All Living Things" UVB 75w bulb. So right off this sounds to me like a basking bulb, which if it is the case will not be providing any UVB to your chameleon. If you use the...

I understand how heartbreaking this must have been for you, especially as these were your first chams. A question: did you have your chams in the cage together? I'm certain that the stress from heat/UVB changes during your storm could have contributed to already stressed chams. Mouth gaping to...

It is not unusual for your cham NOT to poop/pee in a number of days, but in your case coupling that with a bloated tummy, it appears she may have an impaction. Are you able to get her to a vet? As mentioned, an impaction can be deadly if not treated.

Your girl is not of egglaying age but you will need to prepare a laying bin for her soon. She will probably start to develop eggs from 7 months onward and be ready to lay her first clutch at around 10 months. I would highly recommend NOT feeding alot of waxworms as they are extremely high in...

A couple of things jump out at me, reading your how to ask for help form. The UVB 10.0 bulb is too much and is usually reserved for desert dwellers like bearded dragons or monitors. The Exo Terra 26w/5.0 UVB bulb is PERFECT for a veiled chameleon so I would switch it back. No red heat light...

Filling in the form will help us indeed, but please also know that chameleons will often go on a hunger strike for a number of reasons, one being that he's stressed, he could be getting ready for a shed or could be bored with food options, etc. For the sake of not panicking, please also know...

I shop for fruit & veggies once a week for my family of humans and my family of chams. When I get home I spend an hour cutting, slicing and dicing and putting fruits and veg into individual ziplock baggies, then it all goes into a Tupperware container in the fridge. Every two days I change out...

Ahhhh crap. So sorry for your loss. :(

Are you often out all day/every day? And if so, how is your Cham being hydrated while you are out?

Accidents happen, trust me I know! BUT, having said that if you feel your chameleon needs vet care please, PLEASE do not hesitate to take him in for a check. My motto is better safe than sorry as they can to downhill very fast! Good luck!

That is great news!! I hope they are all healthy and happy now that they've hatched!!

HA! This is absolutely hilarious!!! Doubled over laughing here...lol!

You weren't kidding when you said you had some great pictures! Naboo looks fantastic and yes! The yellow's in him are crazy amazing!! Harley Quinn is so completely adorable too! And I'd say definite receptive, or very close! Now if only Naboo knew what to do....lol :D

It can take awhile for her to lay. You will need to leave her completely alone and only take her out when she has covered her hole COMPLETELY and is on top of the dirt. If you interrupt this process she could abandon her mission and problems can occur! The entire process for my girl was three...

When I bought my first Cham 7 years ago I soon found out AFTER buying her that I was pregnant. My Dr. advised against cleaning her cage but other than practicing good hygiene, I was fine. My son is now (almost) six and has been raised right alongside my family of chameleons and has never, not...

Thanks Travis! :D I actually wanted to try to utilize the equipment I currently have, especially with my new venture starting in the next few months. I'm trying to maximize expenses for that, but yes, eventually I'll move to tubes!

Honestly I would stay away from the coconut husk or any substrate in your cage, whether on the ground or on the wall. My chams will often lick their lips and one errant lick of the substrate and an impaction can occur. I figure, why risk it? Google R and J Reptiles. Julia makes fantastic...

I am in Vancouver and previously had my chams in screen cages but due to chronically low humidity and constant health/shedding problems I made the switch to Exo Terra's. All 6 chams are in 24x18x36 (med, x-talls) and are thriving!! I also tried the shower curtains around my screen cages and...

Thanks for the replies. And yes, all of my cages are that size. And before you tell me how glass sucks and they are too small for adults, I have previously housed them in 24x24x48" screen cages and had massive humidity problems (I live in Canada) and frequesnt respiratory problems (pneumonia)...
