    New cham owner. Sometimes she blows a little liquid out of her nose. (?)

    Kinyonga asked if the fluid is white in color. Snalt, as it's called here, is basically a result of using hard tap water in your misting regimen. Chameleons will expel the extra minerals from the water through their little nose holes. I believe it's fairly harmless, but if this is the case, it...

    Pascal is not eating!

    Good luck! It's always so much to take in when it comes to chameleons. Pascal is super pretty and I hope he peps up and wish him luck with his shed.

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    Silkworms really are cute little bugs! If not on the list, you can google around your area, or the capital city of your state, for exotic vets. I have to drive 2 hours for my vet because I live in a small town, but hopefully living in the continental USA means there's more options. Even a...

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    I'm still fresh to supplementation and the ins and outs of vitamins and how they work, so hopefully one of the smarter members can give you an answer there. and, yes! Every bug offered should be dusted whether or not she can see them. I hope she'll eat soon! I would be wary of tweezers, tongs...

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    I'll paste what user Beman (one of the wisest cham keepers here) said about reptivite: "It is great if you can not get anything else... But no it is not the best option. It is just readily available. Best option is repashy calcium plus LoD it is a complete multivitamin with A and D3 plus...

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    This is exactly the sort of multivitamin you need: https://www.shop.repashy.com/products/repashy-calcium-plus-lod It utilizes a form of vitamin A that chameleons can actually utilize, and as long as you follow the schedule you had before, but replacing the flukers with d3 completely, you may see...

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    Good on you for taking a step forward and making changes already! As for feeding, does she open her eyes when you're near her? Perhaps you could entice her by holding out your hand in her vicinity. Chameleons are pretty shy eaters so she might not take to it, but it's worth a shot. Just don't...

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    omg I forgot to post the food images! If you are collecting from outside, as kinyonga said, pesticides are a big concern, and so are parasites. It's best to source your feeder insects from reliable sellers such as dubiaroaches.com or coastalsilkworms.com. Local pet stores should be fine too, but...

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    My responses will be in bold. Missskittles and Beman are like the site's wisest so take everything they say to heart too! Since your girl is getting up there in months, you will have to prepare for egg laying as skittles said. I'll link skittles' handy egg laying guide right here...

    Help me please!! My veiled chameleon hasn’t eaten and her eyes have been closed for a week!!

    Welcome to the forums! Hope I can help you out. As far as what you can do without vet intervention: There are a few issues with the enclosure. Our chameleons grow like weeds and need a minimum of a 2ftx2ftx4ft enclosure. There are screen options like the zoomed XL reptibreeze enclosure that are...

    Veiled Chameleon keeping one eye open during sleep

    A little update: Spooble's eye is puffy/loose in his waking hours, but I got a pic of him tonight and he's closing this eye during sleep again :)

    Why does this keep happening?

    Thank you for that information, I'll make the switch, too! Is reptocal without d3 okay or is there a better option for that as well? 😲

    Why does this keep happening?

    My bad, I had no idea reptivite was not recommended. I see it all the time in Neptune's videos 😓

    Why does this keep happening?

    I'd be happy if you kept us updated! Really hoping your Pascal's eyes clear up, from"concerned about his eye" cham keeper to another.

    Why does this keep happening?

    @Hannah_tomes I'll put my responses in bold. Sorry if it's a lot to read in advance! I want to be helpful for you. Pascal is about 1 1/2 to 2 years old is what I was told. He is a male Panther Chameleon. I have had him since March. I try not to handle him all the time but do once in awhile to...

    Looking for any suggestions on a new cage!

    I put a spider plant in the upper half of my enclosure and my chameleon has taken a real shining to it. I often see him amongst the leaves, hiding, or basking from its top. Maybe your chameleon will like it as much as mine lol I've also been enjoying putting fake plants on the outside of the...

    Hello and love to everyone!

    I think about Nachito a lot, as she's one of the chams here I drew. I'm happy your plant is recovering! Here's a pic of my boy, Spooble. He's got a bit of a problem with his left eye, which is also the one he always faces toward me for photos. Lucky for him, I saved him his dignity by magic...

    That sounds good...I assume it's this one? More information would help. Do you mind filling this out? Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Feeding - What are you...

    Why does this keep happening?

    Calcium without D3 is used for every single meal, while repashy is used twice a month. On the two days that you use repashy, you won't use the calcium without d3. So pick a day that works best, personally I'm doing every other Saturday. Doing this, you may see his eye health start to fix itself...
