    When should I take him for a checkup?

    I just got my baby a little over a month ago, he is about 6 months old now. I get overly concerned for his well-being, and while I am still tweaking his enclosure and keeping I don't think there is anything major I have been messing up but I want to make sure he is well, so I want to take him to...

    New to chameleon care, am I doing everything right?

    I got the rack today so he is now about eye level, with the highest point in his cage about 6 inches taller than me. I also got the new incandesent bulb to replace the red heat light I had. I'm looking into getting the mister though I may have to wait until my next paycheck. Tomorrow I'm going...

    Okay, I'll look into that too! Thank you so much for the advice. I will be putting live plants in, already have them and everything just have to repot them and make them safe.

    Yes, I already knew a bit about reptile care thanks to friends with snakes but chameleons are harder to care for than ball pythons haha. I'm really glad these forums exist, it is a really great resource and I'm so relieved to get some feedback on all this.

    Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thank you so much for the help! I want my little guy to be as happy and healthy as possible, I was reading stories on here about how improper care can really hurt them and I don't want accidental inappropriate care to cause any problems for him.

    Haha, I knew this would be a lot to maintain but with humidity it seems like one problem after another! Thank you for the tip, I'll definitely read into drainage systems that's a really good idea. The problem with my humidity is it easily falls below 50, I have to keep the fogger going for...

    Ahh thank you, I looked it up and that helped quite a bit with the numbers. Looks like for the most part I've been getting stuff correct, just have to make those few adjustments after work today. Thank you for all the input guys I greatly appreciate it!

    New to chameleon care, am I doing everything right?

    No, I turn the fogger off and on to try and keep humidity up as needed. But sometimes I struggle to keep it above 50, so it ends up running longer at times. The floor of his cage has been constantly wet/damp since I got the fogger about a week ago, I try to keep it dry though by soaking up...

    Thank you for the reply! I'll move his enclosure up more tomorrow, look into buying a table if I have to. Yes, like I said I have some plants I'll be putting inonce I repot them. I can post another picture once I do. Yeah, his heat lamp is red. I had no idea, I'll definitely do more reading on...

    Hello! I've had my baby for just over a month now, and while I've read a lot on chameleon care I want to make sure I'm doing everything right? If there is anything I need to change or fix or is what I'm doing sufficent? I want to make sure he gets the best care I can give him. Chameleon Info: *...
