    She was calling out to me!!

    I agree with you here - they put too many animals in a tiny cube...makes people want to take them out and give them their own palace. It is a marketing scheme. And I'll tell you, Black Friday/Christmas time is the worst time for these animals. Knowing how the system at PetSmart works, I...

    She was calling out to me!!

    Here is why she is reduced price: She grew up there. So it is very likely that this female has someone taking care of her that knows about chameleons. I have trained a number of Petcare managers at PetSmart myself (associate, 1.5 years) on chameleon care. I agree that the store does not...

    Urgent Hornworm question please!

    I wouldn't chance the wild ones. A horn worm that has previously eaten tomato plant is poisonous to your chameleon.

    Facebook scares me

    I didn't have time to read the whole thread - I'm just bursting to post this -- I have stayed away from reptile pages for the most part besides Chameleon Forums and similar. Chameleon breeders that are sponsors etc. But has anyone seen INSTAGRAM?!?! It really sickens me!! I feel like...

    Will my Panther get any other Colors?

    I came in late and did not see the original video, but your chameleon is a good looking fellow. I am, however, sad at some of the responses given to you as they were quite childish and rude. There are better ways.

    That's why we like them, right?! Right...??? Duh! I think Max is a special weirdo case..

    Sleep in the same room as cham?

    I sleep in the same room as my cham's cage, call me a protective parent :P But I do not turn the lights on at night, which can be a hassle. I have covered the sides before if I have work to do and need the lights, though I worry that I will forget to remove the towels and the automatic...

    well, im back at it!

    Wonderful! I can't wait to see what kind of improvement he makes. Question, did you happen to leave your phone number with the PetCo manager? I think it would be wonderful if more stores - Petco and PetSmart and others - would do something like this. Having worked at PetSmart I...

    Winter blues, or....?!

    "Less perky than usual" is a good way to put it, exactly what I've seen with my male. Just seeming down. Spot on. Ah yes, I shortened as well a couple weeks ago now - but the change has recently just come about, maybe it's an adjustment thing.

    Winter blues, or....?!

    I was about to post a forum about this! I am glad to see another forum member is experiencing the same thing. I can't recall how my male Jax responded to the season change last year, he is likely between 2 and 3 now as he was a little bit older when I got him. I haven't performed a fecal, but am...

    Funeral for your CHAM

    At this point, I can't imagine how I'll feel when Max passes. Some people I know (some...not most) don't understand my attachment to an animal I cannot love up on, cuddle with, etc, like you would a cat or a dog. But what they don't understand is all of the hard work and patience that goes...

    Baby Chameleon in 100 gal

    I've seen people use pegs that go directly through the screen, four, to hold up the sheet on each side. Though afterwards you'd need to deal with the holes in the screen, and that can be a pain.

    Baby Chameleon in 100 gal

    ^ Agreed, hunting will be much easier for a youngin' that way. :)

    Baby Chameleon in 100 gal

    Are you referring to a 100 gallon fish aquarium, one that is longer than it is wide/tall? Just for clarification. :)

    Need opinions in enclosure good or bad

    You're off to a good start, I like the horizontal branches and you'll really be pulling everything together with the additional plans I am reading. It does look like you are using some sort of coconut fiber as your substrate. I would remove it as it is in the chameleon's best interest -...
