UPDATE: We've named our girl Styx; pronounced like sticks because she was so brown and skinny when we got her, but spelled like the River of Styx from Greek myth because my boyfriend and I are nerds. She is showing more greens everyday, and ate out of our hands for the first time yesterday! She...

thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I showed a picture of her to a reptile store owner in my town and he told me to soak her; I'm glad to know this info is wrong so I won't ask him for any more advice. As for the eggs I agree she's probably never laid, as I saw none in any of...

thank you for the advice! We've had a few rouge escapees as well haha I'll be adding more plastic to the bottom and more leaf litter to keep the suckers in. I appreciate the tips!

Yellow and white, with a bit of orange. If I'm correct this means she's still a bit dehydrated?

I'm so so happy to hear I was wrong, I'm really glad she's healthy! In truth I've done a lot of research but had never seen a chameleon irl (a few in pet stores but I know they're not the best standard of care) so I was basing my assumptions off the fact that her previous care didn't sound...

Wow I'm speechless, thank you so much for all this info! -I'm using the Reptisun T5 5.0 UVB and a 60 watt daylight blue bulb in the zoo med clamp lamp fixture -Yes, we are running a bioactive enclosure. We have clay balls for the drainage layer (we washed them before hand to avoid respiratory...

This is so very helpful, thank you! I knew excess D3 was bad but I never knew the symptoms presented similar to those of mbd. My UVB is a Reptisun T5 5.0, and the closest basking branch is about 5'' from the light. She has other branches lower in the cage that range from 75-80. I'll make sure...

Another view (we’ve since added more plants)

Hello everyone, I’m very new to the space but seeking some friendly advice. 2 days ago my bf and I adopted a female veiled chameleon from a home where she wasn’t getting everything she needed. I’ve attached pictures of her cage before we got her, and after. I’ve wanted a chameleon for years and...
