i bought a new cham today and a new enclosure i had not found my other chameleon that had gotten out so i went and got this guy he is allot more agressive but im sure he will calm down eventually


heres the enclosure it has a screen top and a vent in the front i also hung a backround on the side so there is no reflection

looks good ..sucks about the other one though hope he's not dead and that he turns up sometime soon

try not using the flash when taking pictures, that is possibly annoying him

in the second pic is that greenish spot near his bottom rear ok? it dosnt change colors

It appears to be a bruise- quite common for imported chameleons as they are snatched off their tree and manhandled to the other side of the globe.

Just a thought on your lost cham, I found my male brevicaudatus a week after he escaped. He was very dehydrated and very hungry but he recovered and is now out of quaratine and back with his 3 females.

I see you have a substrate in your cage. I never use substrates for arboreal chameleons...that way there is no chance of one causing an impaction.

Just my way of doing things.....

I agree with Kinyonga.
Remove the substrate or replace it with fine, organic (no fertilizer or pesticide), sifted soil.
I am having a hard time spotting your UVB light. There is one ... right?
Watch temps in that exo-terra enclosure...with the basking light it can get quite warm in there.

Is that cup in the middle of the enclosure a feedingcup? If it is I think you should replace it with a nontransparant one. Your cham can injury his tounge if he shoots from the wrong position.
