hello everyone! i woke up this morning to take a look at my chameleon and low and behold, shes shedding! is this a good or bad thing and is there anything us humans do to help the process? thanks!

okay, so ive had my veiled for about a month now (woohoo!!) and she's been getting a lot more comfortable in her enclosure, eating consistently, etc. i need to do enclosure maintenance (and also perhaps selfishly want to pick her up) and i dont know how!! im extremely scared and whenever she...

my chameleon is pretty thin, but she has good energy + stamina, is a good eater (she loves her treats :p) and everything. should i just give her more fatty foods/treats to fatten her up a bit?

okay, so ive had my cham for about 2ish weeks and she has adapted very well! shes getting more excited to eat and stuff but i really wanna be able to hold her!!!! ive tried hand feeding but all she does is give me the stink eye and then turn away…what do i do?

how do i get her checked for parasites?

my chameleon has not been liking the crickets i am providing no matter how i feed it to her. i understand mealworms are NOT an everyday food but unfortunately its the only thing she'll eat right now (besides leaves). are there any other things i can give to my chameleon instead of crickets?

alrighty! i also cleaned out the bottom of the enclosure and took all the straw and stuff out after this pic was taken!

so nothing bad right?

found this in my enclosure today, is it just poop?

shes been going to that corner the most so will do!

and this will keep them from getting out?

maybe..? i really honestly dont wanna spend a whole ton of money on something that i can just wipe up with a towel so id like to be as low budget as possible if its really needed

but as of this moment, she doesnt want to eat either the mealworms or crickets ive offered. i tried cup feeding a day ago and they ended up going everywhere in the enclosure and i vacuumed them up 😬 i genuinely do not know what to do

actually funny enough, the enclosure has been leaking a TON 😭 we were just gonna put a piece of tarp underneath it tho tbh would that work?

if i pull out the substrate, would that just work? do i NEED the tray?
