Hi, I've got a healthy male veiled Chameleon about 6-8 months old. After cleaning out his enclosure today I discovered that he hasn't been eating the crickets as most of them had been left in the bottom. However, hes crazy for the locust, he eats them from my hands and the ones he hunts in his...

thanks very much, this page seems very useful.

Hi, In a couple of days I'm going to purchase a 3-4 month old veiled male Chameleon. I'm wondering about the size of their cage, I've heard that about a 10 gallon glass tank with a fabric mesh lid is suitable for the chameleon. Is this true, or should I be using something else? Any...

Hi, I'm considering purchasing a healthy baby veiled chameleon as my children are very upset that our panther recently died. My question is what do I need in a baby chameleon's husbandry and will I need a different sort of cage? The breeder says a glass tank but I'm not so certain, any...

One chameleon would probably be easier for me anyway, another question I pressume there is some sort of special care needed for baby chameleons, could you tell me about anything special I have to do for a baby.

Thanks for your help, the male ones looked more colourful anyway...

After my last chameleon, raeph, sadly past away I'm considering getting a new one. I've been scouting around the internet for breeders and I've found one that could be interesting. The breeder is offering £70 for two female veiled chameleons, which to me sounds like a good price. However my...

Thanks for all your help, everyone, but sadly he finally died, well at least his suffering is over. Again thanks for everyones help...

At the moment (10:00pm) the thermometer reads at about 68-69 degrees, this is with JUST the 75 watt moon light. (night light) His cage is nylon mesh with a tubular plastic frame with a zip up front about 4ft by 2ft. During the day his lighting is a day lamp 150 watt and a UV tube light...

I would like to know what lighting you would recommend for my chameleon in this cold climate, I've been hearing contradictive methods. The vet said that while he is so ill the temperature should be 70 degrees at night and 90 in the day, but the members of this site seem to think it should be...

Today I took him to a second vet, who has more experience with reptiles than my first vet. He gave him a saline innjection, an antibiotic injection and a vitimin injection. His very words were hes 'on a knifes edge' if he will pull through or not. I had the animal x-rayed and his...

He is in a flex cage about 4ft by 2.5ft. His lighting - 150 watt daylamp, 100 watt inferred (this is a cold climate country so I assume this is fine) and a 75 watt night light and a UV light. His light routine - 12hrs of daylamp and UV light and then at night the night light and if...

I asked the vet if he should rehydrate via an injection (I assume it would be some sort of injection?) but he didn't want to do it, however I suspect he didn't know how to, he seemed more of a 'cats and dogs' man. I live in England and its very difficult to get a reptile specialist vet, I...

I purchased a male panther chameleon 4 weeks ago, from a friend, the animal is about 15 months old. For the first 2 weeks he was very livley and healthy, apparently fine and happy. However when it came to week 3 he became very lethargic, mostly eyes closed and showed no appettite with no...
