My juvenile veiled chameleon used to climb to the ceiling and when he started getting to heavy he would fall into his pothos plant. Scared me to death I was convinced he had mbd but it turned out he was just getting too big to be upside down like that. Baby's can hold themselves upsidedown but...
This is weird my veiled about the same size is doing the same thing. Today is the first time he's ever fallen asleep during the day he's sleeping on my shoulder right now. It sounds crazy but I thought it might have to do with the equinox?
I bought my cham from petco for $30 nose to tail was 4.5". Just handed me a paper on how to care for it and that was that. It's sad when they don't make sure you know what your doing. I did my research, but anyone could walk out with one and not have a clue.
My male veiled had a burn on his tail when I got him. Small dark patch on his tail stays dark colored and looks like one big scale. It gets smaller and smaller as he grows.
