Made a post a bit ago and made some changes based on the recommendations. Proper T5 light, cleared out the floor, dripper bottle instead of fountain. First chameleon so please let me know how it is now👍
My friend is having an emergency that is going to have her out of her home for an undetermined amount of time. I’ve been tasked with caring for her chameleon. I plan to go over there daily, but is there a way to keep him fed and hydrated if I can’t make it there for 1-2 days?
I don’t know how old he is. The photo is from April, if that helps.
Any advice is appreciated.
I adopted my Chameleon two months ago everything was going well until one day he stopped opening both Eyes, 1 clarify that I have always maintained a good diet with (Miltivitaminas + Vitamin A) And I have given him his Comfort, Humidity, Perfect Lights, Etc...
But I need help with this, which started 5 days ago and I give him his Eye drop treatment, but he still doesn't open his eyes... what can I do? Anyone to advise me?
Hello everyone! Today I completely redid the entire inside of Pascal’s enclosure. No more fake plants, now everything is live! (Except for the two silk trees in the back haha) I also made him a ladder out of a rope bird ladder from the pet store! He has a digital thermometer now and he even has a new fan on top of his screen! For everyone wondering about his enclosure not being a screen one, don’t worry, it’s a hybrid and there’s plenty of ventilation! He’s a little dark in these pics because the change of environment stressed him out a bit haha.
So i bought this enclosure as i was planning to keep a chameleon in the future. the enclosure itself is 1 meter long by 55cm wide and 120cm tall. it is full glass with a fully mesh top. I was planning on doing it fully bioactive, lecca clay base layer, mesh and the a substrate mix on top. then I wanted to make an expanding foam background with loads and loads of branches and bits of bark to climb on and build it up like I mentioned with the expanding foam to kinda make a built 3d back wall. I then want to attach way more branches to like the side panels both vertical and horizontal with varied thickness and size ofc and then afterwards fully plant it up with many different plants like pathos for vining some mo stores umbrella plants and maybe smaller carpet plants on the bottom along side leaf litter to help cover it up a bit. I've ordered a heat lamp 75w and a barina uvb t5 6% bulb but I plan to change that to a 12% after speaking with a local reptile keeper since it would help spread more uvb throughout the tank. it will have all the springtails and other dudes to help break down waste and all sorts of stuff. I also ordered a mister system that will be running as recommended 2 times a day and I will most likely get a fan system going too to help ventilation and provide good air quality. what are your thoughts on this?
They are still able to climb the feeder without their big legs, but can no longer jump out. I'd feel bad if they had a nervous system. I can't be the only one handicapping my crickets on here.
Edit* they have a nervous system, but lack the advanced neural structure to feel pain.
Recently It has been seeming that my chameleon has been losing strength and mobility in his back legs and a bulge has been developing above his vent. 6 months ago I removed the hemipene plug from him after a similar issue. I took a pretty close look at him and it seemed to just be hardened poop that I thought was blocking his vent, or an impaction, I gave the bulge a very slight push and very easily this popped out, and I believe this is another hemipeneal plug, but I'm not sure if it's common for it to happen this often? After I just removed it 6 months ago? He was doing incredible after the first removal and I just want to make sure that I'm looking at the same thing again... Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
Should I follow the procedure I used to remove it last time If it is indeed the same thing?
This is my enclosure for Echo the juvenile panther. Lately he’s been very dark during the day, often scaling the ceiling of his enclosure for a couple hours during the day. His basking spot is 85-88 degrees. I’ve heard mixed advice about temperature recommendations for that area. His UVB bulb is working, as I’ve tested with a solar meter reading 3.0-4.0 around his regular chill spots. Today he was light colored for most of the day so am I reading into his usual dark color more than I should be?
Can anyone help me determine if my ~4 week old Veiled Hatchling is a boy or girl?
It’s so hard to get good photos of her back feet because she’s only .92 grams and extremely tiny!

First pic is of my piebald veiled chameleon when I first got her. The rest are recently after a shed.Her stress coloration was less developed and lighter. Since her last shed Iv noticed darker colorization. Excited to see when she’s full grown. She’s about 7 months.
I was thinking about getting cork bark to regulate humidity and for looks do you think it's good for a panther cham?
Hey all, our Eliot's chameleon, who has been happy and healthy since we got him in April, has been sleeping a lot in the past few days. He'll fall asleep sitting on your finger. We had replaced his UVB bulb because it burnt out a week ago, and just today realized that we had gotten a non-uvb bulb. We fixed that problem today. Could that be causing his sleepiness? What else should we look at? Temperature and humidity are always within the suggested ranges. I'm thinking maybe he's not eating enough, but that's very hard to monitor. Please forgive the streaky glass.
Hey guys! Before I start, yes I know no fake plants I work at petsmart and we have unfortunately very little to work with but I try my best (which is why im here)
This baby boy is sick, we havent been able to get him into a vet yet but thats 100% on the agenda, im concerned he has a respiratory infection but the only symptom im seeing was a dried yellow discharge from his nose.
I mainly wanted to ask about how he looks in this photo, it was around 8 pm when it was taken but I know they're very weary on sleeping when daytime is still simulated, I was also concerned about how flat he was at the time. Does anyone have any input?
This is Pip my male veiled chameleon 4-5 months he's a grayish green (has been since i got him) and he has some orange on his spine and on his head and wondering if anyone thinks he might be or have some orange when he gets older? Or it'd just his baby colors?
Now I just hope it does well in there.
