    Should Monk Be Brighter?

    Hi Folks, Hooray for the wise members of chameleonforums. Monk is 1 year and about 2 months old. He seems to be generally in robust health and we treat him right with a low-stress environment and a good mix of food ("super"worms, silkworms and tomato hornworms in a regular mix. no...

    Monk is 1 year 2 months, ready for his Big Boy cage

    Hi everyone Monk is, as you read, 1 year and 2-4 months now, veiled, and starting to seem a little cramped in his teenage cage of reasonable dimension, I think 3 feet high. he's generally healthy and well tempered (slash properly grumpy) and well treated. The little man is growing up and...

    He Likes to Go Out

    Hey folks, Something we wanted to check on. Monk is growing and seems healthy and generally happy. He's often properly anti-social :) but has never gaped or hissed at us. We don't overhandle him at all, and he's in a good intermediate-sized cage with lots of room and cover for his...

    New Cage Shock? Something's Wrong with Monk

    hey folks, we're a little worried. 8-9 month old Monk has been flourishing until about two weeks ago, when he moved into a midsized cage. He has stopped eating, quite suddenly, and has had no more than 3 or 4 superworms in total since the move, nearly 2 weeks ago. dark, stressed colour...

    How to eyeball a cham?

    Hey, the little still-nameless one is 8 weeks and counting now. This cham is our first reptile- not ideal, apparently, but we're getting the hang of it. Anyhow, it seems clear as we're learning this that Chams are remarkably good at showing visible signs of their good or ill health if you're...

    Wanted to introduce you to the Little Gaffer

    You folks have been good help to us already. Thanks for running a good forum. It seems people don't mind looking at baby pics on here, so I thought I'd post a couple. Our good camera isn't here right now, so these aren't the greatest shots... but he's bigger now than he was two days ago when...

    What's the dif between stressed pacing and just walking around?

    Hi There, Just getting acquainted with cham behavior. MaleVeiled 7-8 weeks old. I've read a few comments here and elsewhere saying that "pacing" is a stress sign. The little man seems relaxed so far, colour bright, lots of eye movement, generally chill. He's been home for a couple days and...

    We need a little more starting info

    Thanks for the help and links. Like I said, it's a lot of these little technical details that I can't find specifics on... so thanks for the good answers. re. his temperament... his daddy is a gorgeous and extremely friendly 3-4 year old, so hopefully he's inherited a bit of the old man's good...

    We need a little more starting info

    Hey everyone, We're brand new to this forum, and brand new to chameleons. We brought home our little gaffer- a male veiled, just 8 weeks old- just yesterday afternoon. We've done our homework, I think, but I've got a few questions I need some specifics on. My wife and I are determined to do...
