Thanks so much

So I am going to get back into the Chameleon world and would like to set up my cage in the basement of my home. It gets chilly down there especially in the winter. I know I need to keep the humidity up as well as the temperature in the 75-80 degree range with a warmer basking spot. I have...

It has been quite a while since I have been on the forum. My life changed in 2010 when my wife was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and I did not have time to take care of Chameleons. The last thread i posted was this one...

Good luck Laurie, I will be prying for your speedy and painless recovery!

Thank you all for your suggestions and positive energy. It is hard but the cards that are dealt, are the only ones I have. Thank you so much. Dave

Hey everybody, Well I thought I would give you and update on my wife. I am afraid that the news is rather grim. Her cancer is now resistant to the Chemotherapy and just continues to grow. We have not been given a time line. it could be months, it could be years, they just don't know...

beautifully said. Thank you for that.

Thanks for the condolences everyone. I am not trying to scare anyone. However, it is something that is not talked about at all when a person is initially getting into this hobby. These little guys and girls have a way of worming themselves into your heart like nobody's business. Then too...

Chameleons die! There I said it. For all you people thinking of getting a chameleon, death is inevitable! I guess I knew that going into this journey with my beloved Jackson's. It was a wonderful two years I had with him. The infection happened to quickly for the vets to save him. I am...

Have an update. Gregory got another infection in his other salivary gland. It turned into an abscess and he went septic. The vet put him down today. I am very sad :(

Thought I would update my thread. Gregory is on the road to making a full recovery. He is eating, and his mouth is just about back to normal. So what I Have learned from this is, Don't screw around, take your pet to the Vet if something is wrong. Asking questions here is great, but it is no...

I do not know what antibiotic they used. I will find out and post up when I get home.

I always use heat mats. Use a correct size for your enclosure, and make sure you have two temperature zones. I usually use 2 hides for my snakes, one in the cool side of the tank and one on the warm side. I use news paper for a substrate and i have a branch as my male likes to climb. My...

So I decided i wanted a big snake like a Burmese python. Not like a Burmese python, I want a Burmese python. So now it is illegal to ship them in the US. I live close to the illinois border and know of a place that has one, but I will have to cross state lines with it. Will i get busted if i...
