I don't thing anyone has a problem with flap necked. I just think Senegals and vieleds are hardier species so they are more recommended as a first chameleon. Personally I think any of the chameleo species (graceful, flap necked, and Senegals) are great starters cause they are easy to care for...

if u are open to other options, id recommend looking up Senegal chameleons. they are about as friendly as chameleons get. they are small and look very similar to a flap necked. also they are inexpensive ($40ish) extreamly hardy which makes them excellent for beginners. the only thing is u should...

maybe try keeping the basking light a little further from the cage. like i said idk veiled specific but i was always told to keep humidity up to at least 60

i know veileds prefer higher temps but that sounds a little hot even for them. also is your UVB a 5.0? again i dont know about veileds but your humidity is pretty low.

i dont think its trolling. you can see posts from this person since JUL. all of them are either "help" or questions about food. what worries me is the constant asking of "what or how much should be fed" when the person states theyve had the cham for a while already. by that time u should know...

Thank you this was very helpful!

I'm still unsure of my Senegals gender tho I've thinking more now that he is really a female. Just in case I'm going to set up a laying bin but I have a few questions. 1) how will I be able to tell when she is gravid aside from pacing the cage? She always paces cuz she's an active little booger...

yup hes a senegal

ah! he is named after the captain! youre the first one to ask that, bravo! both me and my bf are in the navy and Capt Nemo seemed to fit his personality thats too funny! they certainly find their way to communicate to us, or at least when it comes to food :P hes actually already doing...

just thought id share this. Yesterday it was my bf's turn to feed Nemo. Weve been cup feeding routinely for a almost 2 months so when it gets close to feeding time Nemo always sits up on his branch by the cup and waits for us to drop crickets in. Well yesterday i guess he decided hed rather not...

yep i remeber the gracefuls having them so it wouldnt really surprise me if the senegals did too. for my little one im going to keep calling it a him but i will go by the "female until proven male" rule, meaning im gonna go ahead and supply a laying bin until I can get more confirmation on his...

thats actually very helpful. They are very close to the same size. ive been studying many pictures and senegal males seem to have a less prodominant bulge because theyre a small species. also i have seen a fact sheet that mentioned males having spurs but ive seen more that say they dont. im...

thank you, any idea on age?

this is nemo, ive had him/her for a month now and i was waiting to see if as he/she got older id be able to tell the gender but i still dont know if it is female or just too young to tell. Im new to chams and i see the differences in age of the panthers and veileds cause they are larger species...
