Here's some recent pics of Mel and his many personalities and favorite places to explore!

UPDATED BLOOD TEST RESULTS! Mel's UA levels have dropped, so increasing hydration, diversifying his feeder diet, swapping out calcium gutload for sweet potatoes/carrots, and using Repashy calcium plus LoD seems to be working. The vet didn't seem to have any concerns and I'll be going back to the...

Hehe yes, thank you both! Mel is thriving in his huge mesh enclosure and his husbandry is spot-on thanks to everyone's advice on this forum :)

Will do, thank you so much! He weighed 178g on 6/15/26, 183.6g on 7/24/25, and 119.9g on 8/9/24.

Thank you @MissSkittles and @Beman! I'll toss the calcium with D3 and Reptivite and buy the Repashy with the Jackson's on the label, but will wait ~six weeks before using it and just stick to calcium without D3 at every feeding. I ordered the bug variety pack that @MissSkittles recommended, so...

Thank you! The Reptivite is without D3. I give about 10 roaches with the Reptivite without D3 and 10 the calcium with D3 on the same day. Kind of a pain tbh. Just confirming, if I do the Repashy stuff (please verify this is the correct stuff...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon. He's 2 years and 5 months old. I got him when he was about 7 months old. Handling - I handle him about three times a week. I never force him out of his cage, but will lure him out with a bug. Feeding - I was feeding him crickets and...

Just leaving the vet after Mel’s annual check-up. Vet said he’d lost 5grams and was looking a little pale so suggested we ran bloodwork. Here’s the results. She’s concerned about the UA levels and thinks he’s either super dehydrated or something is wrong with his kidneys. Also, I was given...

What is this next to Mel's poop? Should I be concerned?

Hi All! Following up on this thread... We're in Florida now. Mel has this big tree right next to his enclosure, yet when I leave the house, he somehow manages to cross my entire living room and sit on this lamp. It's his favorite spot, but if I don't lure him down with food, he'll stay stuck...

Hi Folks! Just seeing this thread... I too live in Florida and, as a previous northerner, am sad that I can't have Dubia Roaches in the sunshine state. Are Discoid Roaches the best alternative? Currently using crickets, but they smell and die quickly... If Discoid Roaches are the best, do you...

Hi everyone! This is Mel, an approx. 1 year, 3 month old male veiled chameleon. He's been with me since last June. At first, he was super shy and would hiss anytime I'd get near him. In fact, the vet said he was the meanest chameleon they'd seen (I love him regardless, duh). One day, I lured him...

Here's Mel on the couch and in his enclosure! You should start making chameleon merch like shirts, bags, stickers, etc. I'd definitely buy! You're so talented!

Hi everyone and happy halloween🎃 My lil fella, Mel, has been living in Connecticut now for about 3 months. His enclosure/schedule has adapted and is stable post-move, so I figure it’d be a good time for another husbandry review! Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon: Male Veiled, had him since June...
