I just bought this beautiful Jackson's and his head has stayed this color since I've gotten him does it indicate something sinister or is it normal while adjusting to a new place?

Put together a new enclosure for a new female panther chameleon that’s about 5 months old. I literally haven’t been able to spot her in 2 days as she is an expert at remaining hidden. I only know she is in there by the 15-20 or so crickets a day she’s been eating. I’m not concerned, just find it interesting lol

my chameleon turned 8 months recently and i got her a new huge cage, it’s a 2x2x4, has lotsss of plants and a arcadia uvb light, she got this cage last week and ive noticed she seemed unhappy, at first it appeared to be like she was just getting used to the new cage but shes been having this tail and feet color change, she still uses her tail normally. but her overall color looks different especially her tail. she’s always been a very bright green with white spots since she is a pied chameleon. her white spots are much browner now and she has that yellow pattern, i booked a vet appointment but was looking for some inside before her appointment later this week.

A good problem? Sorta.

A while ago I offered him locusts for the first time, he genuinely looked offended, so we didn't offer them again, until recently. I offered him locusts and I have never seen him eat anything so quickly, he is eating them out of the shaker.

This is great, because locusts are a staple, but the problem is that he won't even look at roaches and crickets (I know people will mention other staples but I promise you I have looked, places won't import them, the only way is to raise them myself), I'm sure it's just a phase, and he will eventually go back to eating his other food, but for now, he has no interest in anything that isn't a locust.

Black stripe down my chameleons torso

Post image
10 Upvotes

I recently rescued this juvenile male veiled chameleon, I am a very new reptile owner to be frank but ive been dedicating a lot of time to trying to give this guy the best life he could live. Today after feeding him i noticed he developed a black line going down his side. I did some digging and learned this could be due to a multitude of reasons, most notably stress/ aggression or maybe thermoregulation? Ive already been having problems identifing what his colors mean since his previous owners did not take good care of him (hes been an ashy grey since I got him, due to dehydration I think) but this is the most alarming pattern I've seen yet. Does anyone have any idea what this could be from?

(Also if he looks upset its because i just misted his tank and he does not like that lol)

TLDR: Big black stripe on my chameleon,, stress, anger, thermoregulation, or something else? All input would help 🙏

Just got it all set-up for him - I am hoping my interior decorator skills are lizard approved.

I am going to add 6 live tropical plants are OK for chameleons and that will be the finishing touch. Will post photos again after adding the final touch.

I made a card game where every card is a real species with more than 180 different chameleons

Hello

I recently came across the IUCN Red List and wanted a fun way to discover the species on it, especially the ones close to extinction or already gone. So I made AnimalsMasters, a free card game that runs in your browser.

You open booster packs (a free one arrives every 30min) and collect cards of real animals: each one has its photo, facts about the species and a map of where it was observed. The rarity of a card follows the Red List, from Least Concern to Extinct, so the rarest cards are the species that are closest to disappearing. You can also trade cards with friends. And also play daily challenges to learn about more than 40 000 species

The data comes from iNaturalist, Wikidata and Wikipedia. I'm not a professional, so if you spot a mistake in a species page, please tell me and I'll fix it.

https://www.animalsmasters.com

Which species would you want to see in the game? Do I miss some?

I have an adult vailed chameleon. last night she layed eggs, she had never been introduced to any male before. Right now she seems to be moving slower than normal. Should i be taking her to a vet right away or is there anything i can be doing to monitor her?

Looking to Rehome My 7–8 Month Old Veiled Chameleon + Complete Setup (SoCal)

Post image
29 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 🦎💚
I’m currently looking to find a loving and responsible new home for my male veiled chameleon, who is approximately 7–8 months old!
Unfortunately, I’ve recently moved into a new place that doesn’t allow pets of any kind, so I’ve had to make the difficult decision to rehome him.
He’s a very friendly little guy, and I’ve really enjoyed having him! I’m hoping to find someone who has experience with reptiles or is knowledgeable about the specific care that chameleons require.
Everything I currently have for him will be included!
Glass enclosure with front-opening doors and a mesh top
Water fountain
Decorations and accessories inside the enclosure
Remaining food and supplies
Everything else I currently use for his care
The enclosure alone originally cost me approximately $190–$200, and I’ve invested quite a bit into his entire setup.
Asking $350 OBO for everything. I’m open to reasonable offers, especially if it means finding him a wonderful home!
I’m located in the Los Angeles County area of Southern California and would prefer local pickup.
I’m not getting rid of him because of any behavioral issues. Unfortunately, my new living situation simply doesn’t allow me to keep him.
If you’re interested or have any questions, please feel free to message me! I’d also be happy to provide additional pictures of him and his setup.
Thank you! 💚🦎

This is my brand new 1.5 year old parson’s chameleon. His name is Cobalt. He is currently in a 3x2x4 for quarantine, while his 6x3x5 vivarium grows in. He will be having a varied diet of dubias, BSFL, crickets, and an occasional treat of silkworms and hornworms. All will be gut loaded. I have 2 monsoon multi misters set up to spray for 20 seconds and 3 times a day. If you have other advice, please tell me. Also, sorry the pic is blurry. I took it from 30 feet as I was leaving

Question Help?

Hey, I’m gonna attach some photos, but I have never had an enclosure this big as he is my first chameleon. (I’m gonna get him a new hibiscus tree) I could really use some help decorating it and lighting it. His old habitat all of these plants completely filled up to the top. So he had plenty of cover and clutter. However, in the photos that I’m showing now obviously he does not. Any help? (I haven’t even moved over his current lighting situation or mister. These photos were just immediate takes.)

EDIT: I have his lighting and water situation done. I’ve had it done I just took those photos before moving everything over.
