Funny, I watched the same Earth series and I was shocked to hear him say that chameleons could change colors to match their surroundings. I told my daughter that I was surprised that BBC got it wrong..

I have always seen them called Veiled.... Makes you wonder how so many people are incorrect... JS
From what I have read on this forum orchids are Cham safe.... I have one in with my Veiled's cage so I researched a little because I thought I had read that they were safe. Here is the link ..

I will be getting Penelope (female veiled) a new cage this month and I am thinking about the Dragon Strand Medium Tall Keeper cage with the Dragon Strand Laying Box. Is the laying box a good idea? I am going to do my best to keep her from laying but I want to have a lay box available just in...

Virginia

Thanks so much Jann. I will try and get a good picture of Penelope tomorrow when I get home from work. Is cutting back to every other day OK or does it need to be every third day? Right now her basking spot ranges from 80-83*. I try to keep it at 80* but it depends on the weather and if I...
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum. I have read that in order to reduce,or prevent all together, females from laying you can cut back their feedings and keep basking at around 80*. I am not sure how old Penelope is but I am thinking she is close to 5 months. She still eats like a...
