Chameleon Academy Weekly Activity Schedule
The Chameleon Academy has a weekly theme where we explore one topic concerning chameleons. I present the topic across this website, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Podcast. I am active on a daily basis. This schedule may shift and adjust depending on what is going on with the world. The best place to stay abreast of current topics is the Chameleon Academy Instagram account. I invite you to meet me on any or all of the following outreach efforts!
I use the Stories feature on Instagram to make announcements and interact on a daily basis. And each day has a “daily touchpoint” where I take one thought or concept from the weekly theme and talk about it in a short video. This is meant to be a simple thought that we can think about and discuss on the platform of your choice. The daily touchpoint video is shared on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. I answer questions on any of these platforms, but the core daily interaction is on Instagram.
Monday: The week’s theme is announced on Instagram Stories with a daily touchpoint video released on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok
Tuesday: Daily Touchpoint video + Instagram Live Discussion and Q&A 5PM Pacific time. Bring your thoughts and questions and we talk chameleons!
Wednesday: Daily Touchpoint video

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!
