He can definitely notice the daylight and weather changing (although he probably doesn't realize what snow is)! More likely, he's noticing it's darker earlier and is proactive about getting ready for lights out. You can try having his lights turn off a little bit earlier so he's in tune with...

Your husbandry looks very good! If you post a pic of the cage as well, we can also rule out anything that might be happening there.

If you're concerned about the white SCALES around his mouth, essentially his lips, don't be. I do, however, see some white speckling on his head and possibly on his front left foot. It's possible he's beginning to shed, or it could be something abnormal. If you can get some close ups of the...

@ThomasFord he is actually a blue-bar red-bodied ambilobe. His barring is very faintly blue/green, and you can see it much better when he isn't basking.

Where'd you get your mulberry tree? I got a small one off of amazon and it died within two days, and I'd like to find one that has been growing a little bit longer.

It is very normal for chameleons to have trouble eating when they first move in to a new home. It's very stressful. They might eat the first day or two because they are hungry after transport, but then it takes them a bit to get used to their new surroundings. I'm not totally familiar with pygmy...

If they're symmetrical and not spreading, don't worry too much. If they start to spread, that is when it becomes a problem.

Sounds good! Make sure you are gutloading those crickets and you can always try roaches and various worms to give her some variety.

Try to place one cricket in the cage and get his attention to it. If he eats it, try again. Once he's in "hunting mode," he should be able to find them but since he's small cup feeding may be better for now. Forum member nick barta sells really good feeder cups that have a climbing wall so it...

I would leave an hour and a half or so, so that he can bask and start the digestive processes before going to sleep. Also, many chams refuse to eat outside of the cage, so it's impressive that you can get him to eat at all. You can actually cup feed him in his cage, just stick the cup in there...

Well, presumably the different worms have a different taste. And he certainly enjoys them more. The only reason I am asking this is because I want him to be happy and healthy, not because I want "validation." He will not eat both roaches and worms. If I fed him a worm, I would have to starve...

Be careful! Veileds are known to eat plant leaves and fruits and veggies. You have a beautiful cage, but you may have to swap out those fake plants for non-toxic live ones, because it can be very dangerous for him to start munching on the plastic.

He is about 2 1/2 years old, I have had him for 1 1/2 years. I know his ins and outs. He will not eat both worms and roaches at the same time, because as soon as I feed him a worm, he will refuse roaches. Right now I out-striked him to get him back on roaches, but he really prefers the various...

Also, the second I feed him a worm, he will stop eating roaches which is why I haven't been doing a mix as of yet, because I can vary the roach gutload but I can't do that for worms.

Hey Friends, Anyone keep their Cham on an all worm diet? My panther loves worms, butterworms and silkworms especially, and he doesn't eat crickets or roaches very well. Is a mix of butterworms, silkworms, Phoenix worms, and the odd mealworm or two here and there sustainable? Also, he hates...

Usually once the reach adult size their shedding slows down. My boy who is over two years only sheds once every 3-4 months. Also, you could've gotten him right after he finished a shed and still had a long way to go until the next one. Usually, they turn a little grayish a few days before a...

She looks very plump and full of eggs. I've never had a female before, so I don't know how they are size-wise in terms of age, but 8-10 months looks about right, and I don't think that's too early to start laying non fertile clutches. Get that laying bin set up asap, and if she's struggling to...

The first things I would check are the temps away from the basking spot, and the accessibility of everywhere else. Are there other comfortable places to rest besides the basking spot? Sometimes people forget that they need to be able to relax in other places and make the only horizontal...

Keep him as warm as you can. Usually you can see them breathing. Put a heating pad under the towel or something, see if you can get him to take fluids. 7 years is very old so you may not want to do support care since he is probably nearing the end. :( I am very sorry for your loss.
