Thank you again for all your advice. Baha has been eating SO MUCH! Yesterday he ate 15 crickets. Should I be worried about feeding him too much? He has already had 3 this morning, and looks like he's on the prowl :D In answer to the drainage question, I don't have one. My husband and I were...

Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I really, REALLY appreciate it. I have contacted a vet and am waiting to see what he says - he lives an hour away and will take a look at the photos and get back to me about whether I should bring him in. His grip is actually quite good. He...

One more quick picture. The patches look darker when his coloring is lighter. Maybe it will show up better in this pic where he is a darker shade...

I am sorry but he looks like he has bad burns on him (no I don't buy the shedding theory) and his spines along his back are badly damaged. I agree that in the pictures, those spots look black, but honestly, when I am looking at him in person, they look like patches of dry skin, as if he...

Thanks Jason Your post was very reassuring! I'm not sure when Baha's last shower was. Like I said, we've only had him a few days, but he does seem to like getting in the way of the water at times when I do mist, so maybe he wants a shower. We'll give it a go and see how he feels about it...

Just quickly - is there a humidifier you would reccomend?

Thank you Heika I do live in Portland, as did Baha's previous owner. Baha was shedding when we picked him up, and according to his owner, he had been for a little while (not specified). Those spots that look like burns are actually flakes of skin that haven't shed. We're using lamps made...

Hello all. So I brought home this adult male veiled cham. We've had him almost a week now - his former owner couldn't keep him due to issues with his girlfriend :rolleyes: His name is Baha, and he has the sweetest personality, but i have a few questions. First of all, he's in a 3'x3'x2...

Alright. Thank you! I thought it might be something like that. Yes, the cat was only a passer by. The poor cham... Oh well. I will let her know. Thanks again for your reply

Help! My friend has an 8 month old male veiled cham. He was recently injured on his tail. They believe it was due to contact with a cat. Now the tail looks petrified. It's hard and cannot curl. She's not sure what to do about it. Should she have the hard part of the tail removed? Will it...

Well neat! That's great to know. Thanks.

Thanks for the info on the pinkie mice. I appreciate it. What I 'd like to know now is, how do you feed your chams? Do you hold the crickets for him or let him hunt them in his cage? I've seen both methods and read about both, but I'm not sure which is best. Also, I assume the older...

Alright, I'm new to this. I haven't brought my chameleon home yet, as I am still researching. I just saw a few sites that said veiled chameleons like to eat pinky mice....but that was it - no details. So what? Do they? Should they? How often? And is this in addition to crickets or instead...
