So when I got my Veiled Chameleon at the reptile place the guy set me up with this lamp for heat: (watts might have been different, I don't remember off the top of my head) I had a few questions about my chameleon and I got a lot of people saying that light is bad and to take it out...

I changed the heat lamp, it's a white one. She doesn't have any blue one, I stated that above.

It's bluer than the more greeny ones at the reptile place (that's why I chose HER), but the pictures look a lot more blue that she really is.

I took some pictures of her today 9/12/21

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Female Veiled Chameleon. I don't know the exact age, it was sold as "baby" at the reptile place. Could I estimate based on her length? I got her on September 4, 2021 (a week and a day on my care as of today) Handling - I know they shouldn't be handled. Since I...

I changed it, but I will keep on looking at temps and maybe go even lower. The blue is out, thanks for the explanation! I am not a big fan of the fogger in general, but I am in desperation of avoiding dehydration. She has every single way of getting water, but I don't see her move much now. Also...

I changed it to a 75, the only reason I did 100 is because the light is a little taller than the screen and otherwise I wasn't reaching basking temps. I will try to keep on monitoring this up close

Well, I've tried this and I even changed the place where I put the bugs. The problem is that they might crawl out and then I wouldn't know. I have a bare bottom, but I have quite a few plants. I'd say that over this past week, I put at least 10 crickets total, 2 o 3 waxwoms and 5 or 6 mealworms...

I actually wanted to put a camera, because I haven't had luck yet. I mean, the bugs have disappeared... but I don't know if they are hiding in the plants. Crickets, especially, tend to not stay put, so I don't think so, but she seems to be hanging out on the same spot all the time, so I don't...

This is probably the most difficult part of all. There is conflicting information everywhere! I got my VC from a reptile place, and the person recommended veiled over Jackson's and panthers because they "come from a place more similar to ours in California". Having heard that Veiled are a...

got a female baby veiled chameleon. It's my first time. I got it a reptile place and they told me "they didn't need a lot of care", but I went ahead and did my own research. I focused a lot on the humidity, giving it 3 sources, a mister twice a day, a fogger on and off at night and a dripper on...
