This exact thing happened to my little veiled when he was around 7-9 months old. He was obviously growing up, he was dark all the time, and relentlessly prowling around the edges of the cage trying everything he could to get out. Here is the thread I made about it at the time (same behavior...

Haha my veiled chameleon Vincent would do this as a baby. He by nature isn't very friendly, and is absolutely terrified of my hand. (I spent a long time trying to tame him, but to no avail) Its just his personality ^-^. Whenever he would hang under his light, I would stick my hand in there and...

I currently have a monsoon rs 400, which is more of a rainfall system than a mister. I have it set to go off for about a minute every 3 1/2 hours. I could probably set it to go longer, but with it being a rainfall system, it would easily flood the cage. It was a serious problem with the baby...

What do you mean by fecal? A vet visit? I haven't yet taken him to the vet, I'm trying to avoid that option due to the expense, my parents would definitely not support spending the money on a visit, when they didn't want me to have a Cham in the first place. Of course, if it was necessary I...

I've had a hard time getting him to eat stuff that doesn't move, I've managed to get him to take a bite of banana, and also eat some greens, but I'm only successful when he is really hungry. How can I keep him more hydrated? He definitely steers clear of the automatic misting nozzle, he hates...

I have noticed that he's eaten less, that makes a lot more sense!

He's had crickets, thats all I've given him recently, I gave him a cicada about a month ago, but I don't think its connected...

Yeah, he did just finished shedding a ton. I'm glad to think that might be the reason. He isn't pooping liquid its just the urine, it seems completely normal. I haven't introduced him to any new food item either... I don't currently have a vet, though my parents would most definitely not support...

Once again I've become paranoid that something is wrong with my Chameleon. Its probably at least the 5th time this year but hear me out :P. Over the course of the past 3-4 days Vincent has been constantly "gaping" his mouth open. I don't believe this to be related to heat, because his basking...

It just seems like its been rather abrupt. Vincent has just seem to come out of his juvenile state...I would say he is about a year old, as I got him at about 3 months in January.

How often do you think a male veiled chameleon should be pooping? Vincent seems to be going very long periods before going, and his poop and urine is very long and very huge. Any ideas?

Perfect, thank you!!!

In the past I've been dusting Vincent's crickets calcium without d3 everyday, and calcium with d3 and multivitamins once a month. (not on the same day) Should I be doing it more often than that? I've heard different people saying different things, I just want to know for sure, Vincent is a 9...

I see now, though my macbook air's display tends to have a less rich display, his nails are definitely lighter than the ruby.

I'm not sure...that shouldn't be the case with transmitting pictures over e-mail. I would believe it to be a display difference, is your phone the only device that shows the enhanced colors? If thats not the case, perhaps you should attempt to put it on dropbox, or google drive. (if you've got a...
