I'm getting close to getting my veiled soon. He'll be about 3 months old. I have about a year old roach colony that is just excessively overpopulated now. I have thousands of adults and it's starting to stink, so I think I'll need to sell some. I guess I'm just wondering how many...

Hello Everyone, I will be in the market for my first veiled in December. I've been preparing for about 2 years now and the time has come. I was originally planning on purchasing from FL Chams. Their recent reputation has been incredibly horrible. They are basically just sending the orders to...

Hi everyone. I'll be getting a veiled chameleon soon and I will most likely be starting with a baby around 3 months old. I do have an extra large reptibreeze that I plan on using, but I have seen several people recommend not starting them out in such a large enclosure. I was suggested even going...

Thank you for opening my eyes to the stress my chameleon would be under from moving back and forth constantly. I did not consider this and I realize it would probably be best to wait. Thank you.

I don't have a cham yet, but will be (hopefully) getting one in December. I am in college in a city that's about 1.5 hours away from home. I make a visit home about once every 3 weeks on weekends, and go home for breaks (summer, thanksgiving, christmas, spring break, etc.). I realize the ideal...

Not sure about what fans you're using. Consider fans with higher volume of air moving through them? Something else to consider is the fact that fans pulling air out of, or pushing ambient air into the cage are relying on the ambient (outside) air to be less humid than the inside air. Do you run...

I've recently gotten into carnivorous plants, but I never considered combining them with chameleons. First, please make sure they aren't toxic. Second, depending on the type of nepenthes you have (ventricosa are the most popular and most hardy), different care may be needed. I will advise you on...

I think the chirping is part of the breeding process. I'm not too sure

They won't grow wings (begin to chirp) until they become a certain age. Let them grow up.

Have you heard of glacier water? Those machines where you can refill 5 gallon bottles at? Would that be acceptable for chams?

You will avoid the risk of your chameleon accidentally ingesting soil by placing large rocks on top of the soil. Rocks large enough so that a chameleon would not be able to eat them. Another issue I'm seeing is that there doesn't seem to be a sturdy branch for a basking spot near the top of the...

The only problem I can see is with your supplementation. A few questions, only every 2-3 days? Crickets need to be dusted every time they are fed. Something else, I noticed you have calcium with D3. Dusting needs to be done EVERY feeding with calcium WITHOUT D3. Calcium with D3 should only be...

How do you know he doesn't care about the glass? He is constantly seeing his reflection, which is a stress. A constant stress. Screen cages are a must for chameleons, due to not being able to reflect and providing good air flow which prevents a build up of heat and reduces bacterial growth...

Would one of those water dispensers at the grocery store be a better idea? I believe the brand is glacier water?

I understand that the calcium can clog up automatic misting systems, however I'll be using a hand pump sprayer and a big dripper to start out. Will regular tap water be ok in this situation?
