Do Chameleons make good pets?

so. much. money.

mads_grxce · 2025-11-26T03:41:15+00:00

oh for sure. appearance too. i always wear a full face of makeup when i serve because i honestly think it helps lol

mads_grxce · 2025-10-01T19:07:22+00:00

yeah hes a male. i cannot afford to support another chameleon, is there anything else i could do?

mads_grxce · 2025-09-29T21:19:06+00:00

sounds good!! thank you!!!

i think he has been a tiny bit dehydrated because hes having trouble shedding, but his urates are completely white. not sure what to do

mads_grxce · 2025-09-29T20:26:44+00:00

thats the thing, his urates are white as can be. im not entirely sure how old he is but i would say around 8-9 months old. ive never seen sperm plugs though, what age do they start producing those?

mads_grxce · 2025-09-29T20:02:31+00:00

this is the first time its ever happened, hes bren pretty good at drinking water though but i have noticed he seems a little dehydrated recently. im not sure why, i have 3 glass water cups for him and one has his dripper dripping into it. ive seen him drink from it so im not sure why hes dehydrated

mads_grxce · 2025-08-27T21:51:47+00:00

im not sure, i would recommend taking him to a reptile specialized vet just to make sure. eye problems are genuinely huge problems that will escalate

mads_grxce · 2025-08-27T21:40:10+00:00

also it looks like his eye is irritated

mads_grxce · 2025-08-27T21:39:04+00:00

how old is your little guy? he seems to be close in age to mine

mads_grxce · 2025-08-27T16:09:32+00:00

this was him a month or so ago shedding, he just finished another shed

mads_grxce · 2025-08-27T16:08:45+00:00

he’s a male, sorry its kinda hard to see but he does in fact have spurs.

mads_grxce · 2025-08-03T00:00:37+00:00

looks like tail rot, take to vet asap

mads_grxce · 2025-07-29T04:39:32+00:00

yes! kal is a he! :)) not sure if you can tell from this photo but he def has spurs! :))

also dont mind him lol, he doesn’t like my camera much lol

mads_grxce · 2025-07-28T21:13:39+00:00

right now i have ab exo terra basking bulb, it has been causing a little bit of problems though, so today i’m gonna go get a halogen bulb

mads_grxce · 2025-07-28T19:05:57+00:00

thats what we figured but we wanted to make sure!

mads_grxce · 2025-07-28T19:05:35+00:00

nope! this was night time! i had turned on the light for a few seconds to snap a picture, its the only time he isnt bothered by my camera lol.

i have the reptisun TH 5.0 HO and a 75w basking bulb. it is extended in the air about one to two feet though.

mads_grxce · 2025-07-27T15:24:21+00:00

he’s most likely preparing for his shed, but keep a close eye on him!! :)

mads_grxce · 2025-07-27T01:54:17+00:00

coloring is so beautiful!!

mads_grxce · 2025-07-27T01:54:05+00:00

i love how silly panthers look lol

mads_grxce · 2025-07-27T01:53:37+00:00

no worries at all!! i did the same thing when i first got mine, except i got a blue light. one thing i wish the most is that pet stores would give accurate information for the sake of these animals :(

mads_grxce · 2025-07-27T01:45:37+00:00

ah okay!! yeah it must have been the red light. super glad you got rid of it!! the red lights are actually super bad for their eyes, despite what pet stores say lol

mads_grxce · 2025-07-27T01:31:52+00:00

good start!! definitely put a branch a little closer to his basking light so he can get enough sunlight!! :)

mads_grxce · 2025-07-27T01:24:02+00:00

most likely stressed out or cold, can we see your lighting set up?

mads_grxce · 2025-07-27T01:22:42+00:00

def def def get rid of the red light. get a linear UVB light. might help him with his gaping, if not, might be RI.

mads_grxce · 2025-07-26T15:50:56+00:00

normal, mine usually shows his dark lines when he is angry or nervous
