    Chameleon pawing at the cage door

    Hi all, My chameleon is 10 months old and has been doing some strange behavior for a while. If I am around to get out, he will paw at the cage window nonstop and be content for a period, but when I put him back in the cage 20 minutes later, he will be pawing at the cage again. He is also...

    Possible respiratory Infection

    @Beman So, I ran the humidifier as you said. The difference is night and day. I can definitely say it was the ambient humidity, as I can if I want to get the humidity in the middle of the plants in the enclosure down to 40%. The dehumidifier was saying over 70% in the room. One less factor to...

    Possible respiratory Infection

    Hi @Beman, So, I did some troubleshooting and had a planned call with Neptunechameleons. It seems the temp at the basking is too high it is now at 75-80 F as you said he has now stopped gapping and eating a good amount for him now. With the humidity, I can't push it down its staying at 75-80%...

    Thanks for helping me so far @Beman. My misting schedule is mistking 6:30am - 3 mins, 10am - 3 mins, 4pm - 3 mins and 7:30pm - 3 mins. Lights on at 7am off at 7pm. Yeah in NYC the day time humidity is about 70-60% and 80% at night. The humidity probe is in the middle dragon strand handle at...

    Possible respiratory Infection

    Hi @Beman, The misting is what is causing my spikes from 55% to 67-70% for a time while my fans work to reduce the humidity. But it takes time. I am considering cutting down the misting. See attached an image of the humidity currently after misting at 9:40am. The humidity levels drives me crazy...

    Possible respiratory Infection

    Hi, I have a halogen 75-watt for heat. I use a sensor on the branch to regulate the temperature (REPTIZOO Reptile Dimming Thermostat Heat Lamp Temperature Controller), which adjusts the light intensity. The ceramic lamp is to help at night, and when the tank temp drops too low, I live in an...

    Possible respiratory Infection

    Hi, My chameleon is 6 months old and isn't eating much of late 6 bugs a day. He has his nose in the air I think you can judge by the pictures and mouth open. He has never had this problem, I just took him to the reptile vet 2 weeks ago clean bill of health. I did switch him to a new hybrid...

    Should a Chameleon be this dark when under the UVB

    @EmilioTheAnkify It's on top of the cage mesh, so I'll drop it to only 4-5 inches off the top branch. Is that too close? Thanks, Dylan

    Should a Chameleon be this dark when under the UVB

    I also noticed he had one eye closed during the day a week ago, but both eyes are open, and he's been moving around for a week since then. It's been a good few days since I saw the right eye closed, but today, I was able to take a snap of him while sleeping. I am unsure if the eye on the right...

    Should a Chameleon be this dark when under the UVB

    Hi, Thanks for the response. All plugs are in, and the basking temp the women at Kammerflage Kreations recommended the basking be at 94 F, as that's what he always had. The UV is working; I just checked it. He also only ate the big crickets and none of the small ones and is just gone into the...

    Should a Chameleon be this dark when under the UVB

    Hi all, My chameleon is about 5 months old. He was under the UVB this morning, but he was quite dark to me. I know when he is basking, he does brown/black, but today, he was very dark under the UVB. I have attached pictures of him on the branch. IMG_4198 and 4197 are him under the UVB looking...

    Chameleon doing weird things

    Hi, I used great stuff and silicone to stick branches to the back under the corkboard when I was starting to design the terrarium. This allowed me to build from the original branches using zip ties. So I just zip-tie the pots to the branches around the enclosure I don't attach to the glass. It...

    Chameleon Poop 101

    Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this. I just wanted to run this poo pic by someone more experienced than myself of my 4-month-old panther chameleon urate and poo. To ensure he is good, the urate is quite small, so I wasn't sure if that meant anything. Thanks, Dylan

    Chameleon doing weird things

    Hi all, I recently got (2 days ago) my chameleon from Kammerflage Kreations, but he is exhibiting strange behaviors. Climbing on the mesh top, then going reversely through his legs multiple times and almost falling off the mesh but being saved by one foot, I have attached a picture. I've seen...
