    Looking to buy eggs

    Hardly anyone sells eggs, the biggest problem is that they won't Survive being shipped. If you're lucky you might find someone locally but most people breed to hatch the eggs themselves. For the health of your female I'd give her a nice long rest if I were you the longer the better but...

    Need help breeding

    I'm assuming they're either panthers or yemens. Just to add to what everyone else is saying, a female can breed multiple times a year but you don't really want her to more than once or twice it will take it's toll on her. If she is kept with a male all the time you won't be able to control the...

    feeding

    Hi At their current age they should be fed as much as they'll eat. You could even try feeding them twice a day. Perhaps there was a cricket down their hiding and she was looking for it or maybe she was really hungry. What is your supplementation schedual and how do you gutload your feeders...

    When to breed again?

    I've read that they can become receptive 6 weeks after laying. Producing, carrying and laying eggs is a massive strain on a feamles body and is best to give them a long break inbetween breeding. I think most people only breed them twice a year maximum with a good long break inbetween. Some only...

    Should i buy a veiled chameleon

    Can't really add much to what sharp said only thing I would add is you're young and with good care these guys live 5-7 years on average. So what you plan to do in the future is something you need to think about aswel. He might not fit into your plans especially if you plan on going away to...

    Peculiar behavior

    We had quite good weather here a few weeks back and one of my males became very restless we're back to normal UK weather for now though and he does seem to have calmed down. He was not near a window though he just seemed fixated on trying to get out. I would try and move him personally just...

    Sick Chameleon

    Hi, you mention you only recently started using calcium power but what about D3 and multi vitamin supplements has she ever had any? and how often? I'd worry about MBD if she hasn't had the right supplements for a year although I can't see any signs in the picture. Appart from the clouring she...

    Best Online Veiled Chameleon Breeders?

    Most likely a petstore cham has gone through the stress of being shipped at some point anyway, to get to the store from the supplier most likely. I don't think they go through much stress if shipped correctly. I'd definetely recomend bying direct from a breeder you'll know the babies history...

    Peculiar behavior

    Alot of peoples males have been acting restless recently it could be the good weather triggering him to want to find a mate. Incorrect husbandry often makes the cham do this as they're trying to leave the enviroment but if he was fine before and nothings changed it's unlikely that. You could...

    Gutloaded food, makes chameleons more active?

    It's a bit like us I guess someone who eats a nutritionally balanced diet is going to have more energy and be more active than a someone who eats lots of junk food.

    How to stop my cham trying to eat me?

    When you say he licks you do you mean he strikes you with his tongue like he does with prey? Gaping at you when you come into the romm sounds to me like he's being aggressive not hungry. It's possible he'll never tolerate handling but there are things you can try. You could try putting a...

    Basic Chameleon Questions (I'm a beginner)

    Welcome to the forum! I think it's important you go with the species you like best. Panthers and yemen chameleons are generally the best begginer chameleon, and their care is almost identical. I think veileds are generally more grumpy than a panther chameleon but it depends alot on...

    My chameleon is not eating

    It does look like he might be starting to develope MBD in some of the pictures. Im refering to the first and last photo his front leg looks U shaped when it should be a at a straight angle. I agree that it is too hot in there for him for his age and would lower the temps as recomended...

    New to chameleons

    Sounds as though he's settling in nicely! If your having problems with humidity I'd recomend covering the sides of the screen with something (wood pannels, shower curtain, pond liner, polystiring even cling film). I think you are taking a risk with the substrate to be honest especially the...
