Re: new chameleon pics.

looks like you got your self a female. Which may not be a good thing since they do lay eggs. But if you et the egg laying process right im sure it will be a great experience

Excuse my ignorance (i know nothing about chameleons) but how do you tell if it is a male or a female?

I'm looking at google photos for "male chameleon" and can't seem to see the spur. Can you be more specific?

Re: new chameleon pics.

And if you don't do it right the female can die. Sorry to be a little negative here but if you were researching chameleons for months you would know this... You would also know to use a tube light instead of the twirly one... That is all and as I said sorry to be negative but yea

Re: new chameleon pics.

I know they lay eggs and You have to fill a 5 gallon bucket up with damp sand and all that good stuff, but I have never herd about the bulbs.. :/ I just knew I had to buy a 5.0 uvb bulb, because it helps them grow and they can get some bone dissease without it.
