so, i was scrolling through this sub now, looking at all the pretty chams and the thought just hit me: 'what about all of those little chameleons in florida during the hurricanes???'

Anybody else using the shower to start their chams day off in the dry winter? Mine seems to perk right up after 5 minutes and a 20 minute warm shower (indirect water, we all know how dramatic chams get when they get wet...) and it keeps him "happy" the whole day. Definitely did not have "showering with a chameleon" on my care sheet!

Found a beautiful female veiled chameleon at.....I know I know petsmart but still, I want it I've been researching for about 3 weeks now. Was contemplating the Retibreeze XL and using live plants. Apothos and some vines and finding sticks that can hold her and get the cage setup this weekend. I live in SoCal Desert so trying to come up with best ways to keep plants alive (black thumb) and humidity in the correct levels. Looking for a cheap but decent UV light for the cage. Trying to avoid a bulb as I hear long lights are better. Do I need a light for the night time(purple?) Point me in the right direction please.

How do I help her get sicker 🤟🏾 (We were cleaning out her cage today he cage is not empty like this)

Hello everyone I just wanted some opinions on my chameleon. I took him to the vet today because he has a bump on his nose, has been breathing in a yoga pose, one of his eyes is closed, and I can hear him like sniffle sometimes. The vet told me that he doesn’t have any sinus infection or respiratory but I don’t believe them and I told them that. I’m going for a follow up next week if the bump on his nose keeps growing. The vet says the bump could be a tumour which is horrifying… but there is bumps on either side on his nose so I don’t know what to believe cuz online tells me a lot different. I’ve been to these vets before and the first time the male vet put my chameleon up against the wall expecting him to change colour so obviously I don’t trust them much. They did flush his eye and it does look much better so at least there is that. Please lmk what you guys are thinking

Hello everyone, new to the chameleon community and i had a question concerning the yellowish dot by her right leg. I recently got Ivy a couple of weeks ago and she had this yellow area but upon further research im nervous to find out if it may be some sort of infection or if I’m overreacting. If anybody has any sort of info or a more professional input can you please help me out. Thanks.

Thank you guys who helped me and Gus through challenging times in our lives. She unfortunately had a build up of internal issues cutting her life a year short. She’s now in chameleon heaven munching on all the hornworms she can dream of. God speed.

Bean has been growing so fast! It's only been about a month and a half, and he's like double the size of when I first got him. He's still grumpy as ever but he's my grumpy chameleon ❤️

Anyone else got a lot of blooms ?

Hi! I’ve had this girl for about a week, today I noticed this black line on her. I don’t know much about spots, was just wondering if this look’s concerning to anyone
