About The Chameleon Academy
Welcome to your multi-media Chameleon Education Resource!
The Chameleon Academy is based on the information presented in the award winning Chameleon Breeder Podcast. By presenting the episodes in a class structure the podcast becomes the lecture, but it is structured within a greater learning experience. To the podcast I have added images, text, and video to create a multi-media learning experience. Through the podcast I am bringing information from the most advanced keepers, breeders, and scientists to the community on a weekly basis.
Herein you will find the collection of the most experienced minds in the chameleon community sharing what we know and pointing the way to figuring out what we don’t know. This is the most up-to-date resource of chameleon husbandry available. The Chameleon Academy is constantly being updated with the latest of chameleon-specific information.
The main program here at the Chameleon Academy is the Chameleon Husbandry Program which is broken up into four academic terms and will cover the different stages of growth in chameleon knowledge. But you do not have to dedicate yourself to an entire program. You may pick and choose individual topics and even simple questions for quick answers. The menu bar here will guide you to where you want to go!
If you are new here then check out The Introduction To Chameleon Basics module to get a feel for what we do here!

These courses can be viewed independently, of course, but they are designed to flow one after another. If you would like to go through the entire set of courses as intended, then start with Chameleon Basics and follow the navigation at the bottom of each page.

Subscribe to the Update Notification Service
This website is the store of information and ongoing study of myself and the members of the community that coordinate their efforts. Thus this website will be updated on a constant basis. On a website of this size it is a challenge to know just where the new information is being built. To this end I have started a notification service that will allow me to send out news and update notifications via email. If you would like to get these notifications delivered to you simply fill out the form below and ensure that bill@chameleonacademy.com doesn’t go to the bulk email bin. The building out of this website will, literally, take years with just the information I have right now. Add in the information that will continue to be added with the next season of podcast episodes and this website should be updated significantly on a monthly basis. Thank you for being part of the community that both studies and furthers our collection of experiences and continually drives us forward.
