Are you sure he is CBB? Your husbandry sounds good and you mentioned you're following Frank Payne's advice, so I'm sure you're on the right track. It could just be the stress of moving into a new environment and in a few days/weeks he will settle in and show improvements. If you're really...

You could do a naturalistic background using great stuff expanding foam. Here's a good video on it:

You should find an experienced chameleon vet & get him tested for parasites ASAP. I'll link you to a website that helps search for a reptile vet near your area: https://arav.site-ym.com/search/custom.asp?id=3661

Have you ever gotten a fecal float done at the vet? Stunted growth & lack of appetite are both signs of parasites.

If you're having trouble maintaining temperature & humidity in a full screen enclosure, you can tape a clear shower curtain on 3 sides to help retain moisture and heat. Chameleons actually need lower temperatures than you would imagine, for a baby veiled like you have it should be somewhere...

I will definitely be scheduling a vet appointment ASAP. Yes, I disinfected the enclosure, plants, and branches with 3% hydrogen peroxide. The enclosure I'm building is 48''H x 24''D x 30''W. I do have the lights sitting on top, how do I lift them up off the top? A lamp stand? I definitely want...

Hello all. I recently rescued a veiled chameleon from a chain pet store, and yes I am aware that the pet store's number one priority is profit so essentially I'm giving them what they want by purchasing him but I was speaking to the employee there are she said that he had been at the store for...

Your husbandry sounds great! I don't think I see a single thing you could do any better. Your little guy sounds like he's in great hands (:

From looks alone he seems to be healthy, no signs of mbd or stress indicators. If you want a more in depth answer you could fill out an infosheet and we could give you constructive criticism if needed: Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has...

I'd say 79-82 sounds right. I was just quoting the panther caresheet from the cham academy.

You have an incredibly beautiful little girl! She is just maturing into her true coloration, nothing to be concerned about. If she were to be turning something like a dark brown color then that would be concerning. However, I do have one extra thing to add, her basking temperature seems quite...

Fun homework, I'm jealous! It depends on your opinion of what is considered big and what is considered little, but I'll give you a list of my personal favorite big or small species and their approximate lengths: Big - 1. Calumna Parsonii Parsonii or Parson's Chameleon (27in~) 2. Trioceros...

You could try a different species of Chameleon if you wanted a new challenge, but if you want a different reptile completely I'd suggest looking into Abronia graminea A.K.A. the Mexican Alligator Lizard. Super unique looking creatures and have similar care to Chams since they're also arboreal...

Most of your setup looks pretty good! I'll include a few tweaks I would make. Since he's from the pet store he likely hasn't been exposed to many food options besides crickets and mealworms, so it may take a little bit of time and patience to get him used to new food options. I would focus on...

If he's brand new it could be caused by the stress of being in a new environment, but you should fill out the husbandry forum just incase there are any pointers we could give you. (:
