That is a great idea! Thanks, I wouldn't have come up with that.

He is really small, are there any horn worms that will work for a 3" chameleon? He really loves house flies (as a treat), he has been eating mostly super worms and crickets, he seems to leave the dubias alone, even the really small ones. He likes food that moves around a lot. Thanks for...

Pics of cage Pretty sure it is an 18x18x36. Just added the dripper back literally five minutes ago. That has not been in the equation. Have a 60 watt ceramic (basking spot) and a 15 watt 18" Reptisun 5.0 on top . Again, was misting heavily until all leaves of the ficus were...

I will post it up. just a minute here

My basking area is set at 82 degrees F. The bottom of the tank sits at about 70 degrees. Night temps drop about 10 degrees. I mist for about a minute until everything is totally drenched. I will try adding the dripper back to the setup here. But I am thinking I want to avoid having it drip...

Hello all, Just saw my chameleon leave a fresh poop. I am seeing some orange and some white. I thought I had read that orange is a bad thing in the poop 101 area, but since I also see some white,I wanted to get a second opinion. Here are some pics. At the moment, I have just been thoroughly...

Update Update, I switched the bulb, offered a rainstorm, and he is opening both eyes again! Thanks so much junglefries. I really think the bulb was the big issue.

Thanks for your response. I will swap out the bulb and see if that helps.

I will give that a shot, thank you. Can I drop while he is sitting on a branch? Or do I have to turn him sideways so that the drops sink in?

Pictures of eye Here are some pictures of the problem I am concerned about. See how one eye is a little bit swollen / irritated and the other is open and alert and looking at the camera.

Hello, I have filled out the help questionnare and will be posting up some photos in just a few minutes here as well to show the issue. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? -- j Small Jackson's Chameleon, don't know...

I know they do not enjoy being handled, but if you want to give it sunlight it has to be moved from one cage to another somehow, right? Also, if you are going to clean the cage, you have to move the chameleon out of the way. I have heard once or twice a week, it doesn't hurt to handle for 5...

After looking at some other people's photos I think he must only be 3 months old or so. And he is even camo in his sleep, if you look at the pictures on the first page where he is sleeping.

He must be very young I think he's probably 4-6 months old. When do they stop showing camo?

Thanks for getting back to me with his approximated age! I had no idea really. He didn't really go for the dubias today. Hopefully he will learn to like them because I have a breeders pack on the way! Yikes!

Wow! That is amazing! He is quite large! Looks like a very healthy boy! Must be a different locality, mine has more of the camo patterns.

JaxyGirl: I have not tried that yet, he seems to be a little skittish, he is wild-caught, so not used to being around humans so much, but I think he's warming up to me. He doesn't try to hide from me when I open the cage anymore. I will try taking him out to get a little sun on Sunday...

How long did he live? Any guesses as to age of my new little guy? His horns are real small so I was thinking just a few months old.

D3 With what frequency would you recommend using d3? Once a month? He hasn't been taken outside since I got him. Wanted to give him time to adjust to his new home before stressing him out by picking him up. Only picked up once to take the picture of his tail and show the people I...

Reptileguy: He still uses it to wrap around branches and all, he uses the end of his tail as well. I have been observing his movements. It is not dead at the end. If he wasn't using it still I would take him to a vet. I will grab a calcium w/d3. The calcium spray is just calcium. And I will...
