As “schedules” go. It’s best not to feed your chameleon to late in the day. They need time to digest before going to sleep at night. I don’t like to feed my chameleons any later than 4-4:30. But it also depends when your lights go off for the night. My chameleons are asleep by 7:30. You could...
12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark. I have mine come on as soon sunlight starts to reach our room. And no he won’t miss his companion. Chameleons are solitary animals(y)
Oh okay I see. That could be on the low side but you’ll just have to check the temp when you get the chance. I usually use one 60watt bulb in the summer and in the winter I use a 100watt. I live in California so it never gets really cold.
The blue lights use to do that to me all the time. It’s from getting mist on them. I literally went through like 8 of them in the span of one year. I finally stopped using them. There’s another brand you can get at the pet store. It’s called daytime heat lamp. It’s 60watts and comes in a yellow...
*vomit* I’ve been hearing a lot about these other sites and the standards they set for their chameleons. I’m just thankful for the chameleon forums because there’s no better place for advice than here.
Okay no problem. I was just curious I scrolled through a couple of my old threads and cringed a little bit. It’s kinda like when you go back to 2012 on Facebook and want to slap yourself for some of the things you posted lol!
Wow looking really good!! Are you using a multivitamin? I didn’t see that in your supplements category. Maybe I missed it. If not, definitely add that to your insect dustings every 2 weeks.
Also this is just a personal opinion. Maybe have your lights come on first before your mister. That way...
I built a wooden ladder type structure that fits perfectly in my window. When my chameleons were first learning to trust me, sometimes they would get upset when I tried to put them back. So I would literally bring the whole structure back over to their enclosures and they would crawl off of it...
Alright here you all go lol

Well accidents do happen and I’m sure there are plenty of dead chameleons on the ground in their natural habitat lol I watched a documentary once about them and they said often times chameleons die from grabbing their own tails thinking it’s a branch and then falling to their own death. Odds of...
I agree with that. As long as someone has plenty of sticks, vines, plants, ect in their vivs. Just In case the little one does have a fall, he’ll be able to grab something or land on a plant instead if plummeting down 48 inches. That’s the only thing that ever worries me.
I know you’re short with money and you don’t want to hear it but you need to get her to a vet as soon as you possibly can. Maybe try a go fund me? I think people will want to help out.
When I first started using Phoenix worms I was worried about the flys to but they’re so harmless and quite stupid flies. They always fly to the window and you can literally grab them with your hand and put them back in the chameleons cage. My chams go nuts for them.
