Hello friends! This summer I am traveling for work for two weeks in May, two weeks in June, and two weeks in July and I am in desperate need for someone to help me take care of sweet Barney while I am gone. I will pay! I live in the Studio City area of Southern California. Does anyone know...

Hello friends! Update on Barney - he is going GREAT! This summer I am traveling for work for two weeks in May, two weeks in June, and two weeks in July and I am in desperate need for someone to help me take care of sweet Barney while I am gone. I will pay! I live in the Studio City area of...

Hello chameleon friends! Quick question- my boyfriend got our powdered foods mixed up and accidentally fed Barney hornwoom food powder instead of his occasional carnivore care (which we have to supplement bc of his tongue issues) - is it okay??

Thank you!! Here are some photos of him this evening, he's looking a little drab tonight :( I think his head is about to shed! We are noticing his head and body shed independently alternating every few weeks.

Thank you for this! Very helpful!

This photo was taken mid-April so he is even bigger now but how beautiful is he? :) I am at work now but will take another when I am home!

Hello chameleon people! Just a quick Barney update - he is doing great. We are still hand feeding almost daily but if he needs, he can manage hunting for worms through his enclosure. My question is - now that Barney is about 5 months old, what is the recommended amount of food for this age? And...

Hello friends! Barney update: still doing well but the past 2 days his bowel movements have no urate attached! Should I be concerned? Also he is only eating hornworms, occasional dubia's and black soldier fly larvae as a treat. His diet is primarily hornworms due to his ability to grab them...

Hi there PlanetRemulak (love the username)! I really really appreciate the time you put into this response, it is very appreciated! Barney is 10 weeks old now and chugging along. I have found his favorite bugs are silkworms, hornworms and dubia. We have to avoid any hoppers or flyers as it's too...

Hi everyone! I just thought I would give an update. After a little over a week since Barney's accident and daily hand feeding/giving antibiotics/pain meds (which he absolutely hates) he officially crawled down to his feeding dish this afternoon and grabbed a few worms like a bearded dragon...

So extremely helpful! Thank you!

Hi! Thanks so much for weighing in here. I'm sorry that happened to your little guy as well but am grateful for the insight! Yes, I saw his hyoid bone deploy yesterday. What foods ended up being his favorite? Same as before his tongue was injured? We are on day 2 after injury and I place...

This is great info I really appreciate you Kinyonga! Thank you for the recipe. I will absolutely try and grab a pic since I'm watching him like a hawk and I will post. I will keep everyone updated! THANK YOU!

I bet you're right this seems about the exact size of what I'm seeing...poor guy what the heck!

The highlighted area is exactly what came off onto my hand looked like. I guess his "retractor" is still intact? is that waht I'm seeing now pop out?

Ok new advancement - he just opened his mouth for the first time and tried to use his tongue and something about 1.5" came out, dark in color and stood straight up. What the heck is this? Insight please?

Ok will do - and should that be once a day when he's used to eating? And how much to give at a time? 10 bugs like he normally eat? Also if I end up syringe feeding water, how much and how often?

Yes I'm sorry for the confusion. I knew I should have taken a photo of his tongue. I took it to the vet in a plastic bag and they kept it. The diagram of the tongue under the chameleon is exactly what it looked like. Sticky tip, accelorator muscles, and retractor muscles all intact - looking...

Okay, good ideas. I feel as though I should kind of leave him alone today (this happened 24hrs ago) and intervene tomorrow with food and water? How long is too long to go without food and water?

This is amazing - thank you so much for sharing!
