Hey OP I’m sorry I imploded. I was feeling attacked, so I needed to take a breather and cool my head a bit. How is he today?

That’s really awesome all the experience you have. I do understand losing patience with having to constantly explain the same things to people who are just now learning. Being a moderator on another chameleons forum with others that have so much experience like you, our founder gets that way at...

You guys act just like the people on the Facebook group the chameleon enthusiast, giving the same outdated, inaccurate info. 👎✌️

Oh and one more fun fact for you! In the wild veiled chameleons only live an average of one year, so attempting to keep the in would like conditions is actually a very bad idea. It’s just like saying that we should slow our dogs to hunt for their food and sleep in the dirt because that’s what...

I just want to add that anytime that would spray water into a hissing chams mouth would have to be an idiot! Hence the reason I told the OP only to do my method of the chameleon was comfortable with it. Maybe read my original posts in full before jumping on the bully bandwagon 🙂

I thought this site might actually have some experienced keepers that don’t just sit and repeat everything they read online likes parrot, and somehow think they know what they are talking about. Apparently I was wrong about that and apparently you are all too busy jumping down my throat to read...

So it’s ok to have some fake vines off the leaves are still not plastic. The plastic ones are easily eaten and are hard so they can cause impacting as well as internal bleeding, but the silk plants are soft enough to pass through their bowls of eaten. It looks like yours are silk. I have Golden...

He looks much better today! I do agree the humidity doesn’t need to be as high in the day time, and drying out between missing is very important. Also miss skittles I taught the OP how to do the up close spray slowly and carefully a few drops at a time, allowing for adequate swallowing time...

It’s hard to say if she will be ok without a lot of information. What I can say based on what you said, that she is pale in color, and has her eyes closed, and isn’t interested in eating, is that it sounds to me like a lighting problem. As far as the bump I don’t know. Chameleons don’t have the...

Ok that’s good, once a day is good. He looks good belly wise in this pic. It could just be that he is puffing himself out like that. They can make themselves look bigger or smaller just by flexing certain muscles. For example when they start basking in the morning they look like a pancake lol...

The lay bin is at the bottom. I used a medium sized glass corner habitat, and removed the lid, added a mixture of half soil/half sand, and at the very top placed 2 large pathos. The lay bin stands to about my knees. Sorry for the poor pic quality, but I moved her habitat to the corner behind my...

hi there 🙂 the daylight blue is most likely part of what he doesn’t like in his cage. I usually suggest a 75-100watt incandescent frosted white bulb in a wide dome for safer heating in a cage. As far as the roaming though, looking at his size, I think he is racing sexual maturity, and has what...

Oh and here are photos of them when I bought them. The darker one is baby He-Man and the lemon colored one is Shera my girl on the day I brought ‘em home.

That makes sense. I have kept chameleons for 3yrs now. My first chameleon unfortunately was my first hard lesson, and was unknown to me a wild caught. She was ill and the specialty vets here had never seen what was happening to her before, and didn’t know how to treat her so she passed away. I...
