    Handling my cham everyday...

    If the cham in question is your avatar pic I would say there is most likely calcium deficiency of some sort. You can clearly see the bend in the legs. Get him to another vet as jann suggested. Get him in the real sunlight(unfiltered by glass, or plastic) as much as possible. Good luck...

    identification help me please!

    One of my adult male ambilobes refused to eat crickets for nearly three months this winter and ate nothing but roaches, silkies, mantis, grasshoppers, and hornworms.

    !!!!Is There Any Species Of Cham!!!!!!!!

    Male dolphins in the wild have also been known to attack and kill human beings on occasion as well. Chams are not meant to be handled. That does not mean that some will not seemingly like it, although they usually have a sneaky motive such as escaping, or getting a special treat, or being taken...

    New Wc mellers wont eat?!

    If I were you I'd just take him to a vet. There could be many many reasons he is not eating, stress being the most likely. But heavy parasitic infection and not liking being kept with another cham could be reasons too. Is the one that is not eating light colored most of the time or a darker...

    interesting safe plant question??

    Cannabis is poisonous to dogs and cats if eaten, I don't know the quantities they'd need to eat but it is a poisonous plant so-to-speak. I believe it would be harmful to the chameleons. Not to mention no one wants dead bugs and chameleon poop on their buds. I'd pass on the idea.

    Somebody please help me!!!

    Search local pets shops and explain your situation. Maybe they will let you pay for a female veiled, if they have one of adequate size, and return her within a week for a full refund. Hopefully it would not take that long. Good luck. Justin

    discoid vs dubia

    Dubia males stay smaller thank discoids and the females tend to be smaller than discoid females. Discoids are much faster than dubia, however I believe they are meatier as nymphs as well. I actually like my discoids better than my dubia, I can't kill em. Not to mention they breed very fast. I...

    Early to bed??

    Does he wake up before the lights come on in the morning? Or when they come on? Because a 5-6 hour day for a cham is quite short. All mine, when they were kept indoors started getting ready for be about an hour before lights out, never 6 hours before lights out. I would have him vet checked...

    Suggested topicals for fungus

    Grapfruit Seed Extract has been used to treat fungal infections in melleri according to the melleri discovery website. It will also kill parasites. You would have to ask someone who has used it how to use it as I don't know if it is being used topically for the fungi, obviously it is being given...

    Wild insects

    I feed basically any edible wild bug I can catch. Mantis, stickbugs, grasshoppers, camel crickets, dragonflies, certain spiders, moths, and cicada's. My adult panthers go insane for the mantis and even more so for the cicadas. I put 8 cicadas in with my breeding pair in between their mating and...
