Thanks! I never thought about dampening my hands! Thanks, guys, I'm sure Milton wouldn't mind that. To answer ir0k, he did eat crickets and things right after, so no damage was done, other than his ego, I think. He looked at me like it was my fault. lol :) But he's fine, otherwise. Thanks...

:eek: Well, today I tried hand-feeding my little Milton some wax worms, and all was fine and fun and games, until he missed and his tongue got stuck to my finger. He couldn't pull his tongue off, so he reeled himself in like reverse fishing, and snap! He latched onto my finger! My questions...

The bulb looks like a fluorescent house bulb, but it's only 13 watts, and mostly emits UVB. But I will get a fixture and bulb to see if that works better. I may be over reacting... Milton had jumped out of my hands when I was helping him up onto his favorite spot in my room, and dropped...

:( I found a bump on his side today, and I've done some research about it. It looks like a possible broken rib.... I feel terrible. He took a long fall a few days ago, but nothing seemed hurt or anything, he landed on a plastic bag full of paper towels... Is there anything I can do to help him...

Okay. Haha I thought that Milton was just weird. But it's good to know that other chameleons do that too! :D

For several days now, Milton--4 or 5 months old now--is puffing up for about 5 min when I wake him up for the day. I have him on a relatively regular sleeping/lighting schedule. I don't think he's sick, just something strange I noticed. He's done this every day since I got him, so It doesn't...

Thank you. =] I noticed that someone was using 1/4 " galvanized alum hardware mesh. no coating; is that not harmful to the chameleon?

I've been researching a boat load recently on making a new cage for Milton. He's a four or five month old veiled now, and I think it's almost time to put him into a better enclosure. I have him in a glass terrarium currently, but he seems like he is getting stressed out now. I am very unsure of...

Thank you so much. I've been posting about my little one a lot lately, though I've done extensive research even before buying Milton, and still am doing more research. It seems like there is not one answer for any question when it comes to raising something so special. :( Just wanting what is...

How do I inject his food with water? With a syringe? If so, where can I get one that could work?

:confused: I'm worried that my little 4 mo old Veiled is already getting fat, and is possibly dehydrated. I try to feed him every day, sometimes I have to skip a day because of my hectic work schedule. My main concern is dehydration; his excrement has a yellowish urate with it, and it was white...

I have a four month old Veiled. I have only had him for two weeks on the 12th, but he is already getting used to me I think. When I am in the room, I'll open his cage and let him climb out (turning off the lamps so he doesn't burn himself. He'll climb out on his own, and now that I am feeding...

Thank you jannb. =] I'm just a worried pet momma I guess; He was so sweet today and didn't hiss or puff up at me at all. I think he was just way too tired to climb yesterday by the time I was able to let him out for a while. The info was helpful, thanks again! :D

This is him from a week ago.

When I got my little veiled cham, he was bright green a week ago. I'm not sure if his skin is just dry, or if he's getting ready to shed or what, but his feet are brown and he's got brown stripes running through him now, and his skin seems just a little crackly, and he's got orange coloring...
