Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

New chameleon owner worried need advice
I just purchased a 2 year old male veiled chameleon from the paper. He eats well, he does not hiss when you get near him, and he has bright vivid colors. I have had him for 3 weeks now and his spikes running down the top of his back are shedding and some of them are coming off at the same time. He has portions of back where the spikes are completely removed and is flat. I hope i am explaining this clearly, if not i apologiize. Any help would be appreciated, i am hoping that it is not that serious.
Thanks alot
Nick

Howdy Nick,
If he is loosing the spikes on his back that would be a bad thing. Can you post close, well focused photos of the area of concern? This may be do to a burn from his basking lamp. Post photos of your setup too. Also, any details about your husbandry will be needed too. Lights, water, food, supplements, enclosure etc...

Your chameleon may have been dehydrated and had a few bad sheds. The skin around the spine may have been constricted and lost circulation which would explain the loss of spines. I hope that this helps you and eases your worry a bit. You always have to keep chameleons hydrated, it is so important. Good luck with your new addition.
Keith and Shannon
