My chameleon's behavior was very strange and scary this morning. I feed him every other day, and today was a feeding day. When I brought the food to him, he didn't move. His cage was warm, I sprayed it down like I do every morning, so he had water.
His normal behaviour is to run to the food...
I closed the blinds and it seemed to help. I also bought some crickets and just put them in his cage so he would have something to hunt. He seemed calm for a couple days after that. I switched the grow light and the UV so the UV light was in the back of his cage, and that also seemed to make him...
Thank you! I might be able to purchase a second enclosure and join it to this one. It would make moving him easier, as well. Ultimately, I just want to make sure he's happy. He came from severe neglect and I'm honestly surprised he survived. I really thought I was making a hospice room for him...

My veiled chameleon, Hal, has been with us for about 6 months now. We have him in the Reptibreeze 24"x24"x48" screen enclosure, which is also lifted on a desk so his highest branches sit above my head. He has high and low branches, live plants (pothos and monstera), UV, heat lamp, etc. When we...
I am so sorry for the delay. I have been so busy and forgot to check back.
Nothing has changed with my hands. I don't wear nail polish. He first targeted my gold wedding ring, but quickly transitioned to my fingers after and has continued to target them.
This is my most recent picture of him.
Hal was a rescue. when we first got him, he was very malnourished and nutrient deficient. We started him on dubia and a superworm daily for 2 weeks to bulk him up a bit, then cut down to 3 dubia every other day and a superworm once a week.
I was extremely surprised by how quickly I gained his...
