@FlChamMom @Thomas @Fordjcarlsen @jannb yeah I agree with you guys tree/foliage in front of the enclosure is a great way to encourage your chameleon out. The main problem we had with Cucumber was extracting him from his enclosure without annoying him. We have a large branch that comes to the...

Firstly thanks for making me feel awful about keeping a chameleon Jajean. We went with a chameleon because we wanted a pet but didn’t want to leave a mammal alone all day whilst we’re at work. We spent a lot of time researching different lizards, chameleons appealed to us because they are so...

Hey Thomas We had a breakthrough this week. cucumber is our first chameleon so we're totally new to chameleon care, so what i say may not be gospel. But we bought a huge Fiscus, now we open the door and move the tree in front of it, after a while he makes his own way out. They seem very...

He is cute!

Thanks Klowery Yeah he loves mealworms, they are already a treat he only receives from us. I agree re the hunting, it's got to be stimulating for them.

Thanks Ulamachula. Time to start looking for European based dragonstrands then!

Thanks Jajean I hadn't even considered that Cucumber could be eating the plants. We've never seen him eat vegetation, we've tried him on all sorts of greens and fruit. But obviously we observe the locus chewing through it. We've got a better idea of how many he locus he needs now and don''t...

Cool thanks Savage13, they look awesome. I basically want to get him the largest plushest enclosure I can find. Cheers, Oli

HI any opinions on the exo terra screen terrariums? Is there something better out there? http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/screen_terrarium.php We are thinking about buying an ex tall one for our veiled chameleon once he outgrows his current terrarium Cheers, Oli

Ok thanks Jajeanpierre. I'm hoping the slightly sunken eye is just his structure, I've looked at a few other images of veiled chameleons and many look similar, he has never looked any different (going through all our images of him). However we'll continue to monitor his eyes and humidity...

Do some chameleons just hate having their territories invaded and never get over it? Our veiled chameleon is a similar age. Once out of the enclosure he is fun to interact with. He eats from our hands, and spends hours at a time on us now. He seems to like having the underneath of his chin...

No don't feel like that, you're helping us prevent any doom and gloom! Here are some mobile shots of his back and thighs, he was colouring up a bit at the time. I realised the picture I uploaded the other day was actually taken a few weeks back, he's grown a bit since then. But his eye's seem...

Nice one, thanks jajeanpierre. We will be meticulously watching his eyes from now on for any signs of depression. We will up the misting regime until we get a mistking in place and hopefully this will help, also the addition of the tall leaf dripper. We really pleased to have found this forum...
