I have read on here people moving and traveling with Chams. and what I read is to put them in a shoe box with a towel on the bottom in case he falls and a stick through the middle for them to hold onto because it will be dark and he will just go to sleep during the trip and less stress on them...
Do you have a picture? your 8 months might not be 8 months, They grow very fast well my veiled did lol, Still have patience and he might come around, but if he really is 8 months he might just be wild and won't ever like to be hand fed or handled... Pictures would be great though.
How long have you had him?
Being young he will be jittery, When I got my Veiled he was 4 months old and I let him be, I never put my hand to feed him until i noticed him being comfortable in his surroundings. His enclosure was set high when he was a baby so he was over our heads to make him feel...
I have had to tell off a manager at petco once saying they need more humidity other then that the chameleons were separated by species, they just needed more humidity. The sad thing is the Chameleons in your post will sell, people buy on urge and will not look up the care prior to buying and the...
I live in an apartment and I own a 1 year old Male Veiled and he is the sweetest guy ever :) His enclosure is in my living room and he will watch us daily and since my couch is on the side of his enclosure he will actually crawl down and stay near me. His personality is really awesome. he is my...
What I read is Chameleons continue to grow through out there life span but at a slower rate after 1 years old. Every time they shed they are growing ;) My Randall is a big boy also.
I know how you feel, I was laid up in the hospital for emergency surgery for 4 days and all i kept thinking about was Randall my veiled chameleon, I feed him and mist him and clean his enclosure and now i had to worry about if my son was doing all right when I was gone. He did assure me he had...
Time flies, I remember getting him at 4 months old, so little and green and now he is a big handsome boy! Happy Birthday Randall! (He is just coming off a shedding in the picture lol) Just a quick question, how warm should his enclosure be now that he is a year old, Under Basking light its...
My Male Veiled is very social, he will always eat out of my hand and if I open his enclosure and try to clean it, he will always crawl out on me unto my shoulder and just stay there lol. I don't try to take him out I let him decide really.
Hi All,
I haven't been on in awhile due to Emergency gallbladder surgery :( was in the Hospital for 4 days UGH! I was so glad I taught my son how to take care of Randall when I was gone and laid up not being able to do anything.
Randall really missed me though as when I came back from the...
My 7 and a half month old is the exception to veiled aggressiveness, He is so calm and loves to be held, As soon as I open the cage he runs down the branch for me to hold him. He really is a sweet guy. I got lucky big time is what i'm hearing :)
