I wanted to reach out here because I feel like a lot of the information I keep finding on chameleon death is due to sickness/poor husbandry and the symptoms are obvious bad things. My sweet boy (veiled chameleon) is around 4.5 years old (got him September 2018, estimate he was about 2 months...

Thank you for posting this, I remember seeing it once somewhere and then couldn't find it! I always struggle to remember which leafy greens are safe.

So he definitely loves the roaches. :ROFLMAO: And they are a million times better than crickets. Never thought I'd say such a thing about roaches, but gosh, crickets are so smelly!

I remember when my boy first did this as a baby walking up my arm - everyone got a good laugh. The leaf walk is so cute.

It's been a long day. Not sure why I wrote broccoli. I meant zucchini. It's the other "green thing" I feed the crickets besides dandelion greens (I kind of keep track of what I give them by color to try to make sure they get a variety - two "green things", generally dandelion greens and...

Can you buy mature pothos? How do you put them in your cage with their pots?

I just bought some discoids (still not keen on breeding them but it appears I can easily order them)... I got 1/2-3/4" inch, because that sounded close to the size of crickets he gets, and he's an adult cham. Does that seem like a good size choice? Also, is there anything special/different I...

I'm sorry, I lied, one more question. So Reptivite with D3 is calcium, D3, and the multivitamin all in one, in sufficient amounts for the twice a month dusting? Thank you for your patience with the bombardment of questions.

I think this is my last question. To verify, supplementation: Rep-Cal phos-free calcium without D3, all feedings - is this still a good choice? Twice a month, Reptivite without D3 (instead of Herpivite multivitamin) Twice a month, calcium with D3 - what brand? I've read the Repti-Calcium isn't...

Question about the roaches... are they like hornworms, that if I buy small/medium ones, they will get crazy big in a short span of time? Or do they stay pretty much the size you get?

What other adjustments do I need to make when changing to this UV lamp? His closest perch/branch is about 6 inches from the top, will that be too close if the fixture is set on the top of the cage? Is his basking light (dome fixture) still fine? Do I need to get a UV meter?

As I said in my care response, I'm going to upgrade to a different fixture. I intended it before now, but we abruptly went to a single income so I haven't been able to afford a new $100+ lighting system. I am working on this. I also addressed the lump on his face in that response. He had a cyst...

Your Chameleon - Veiled chameleon, male, about 1 year, 8 months old. How long has it been in your care? - 1 year, 7 months. Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? 1-2 times a week to take him outside to a hibiscus bush for some free-range time. Feeding - What are you feeding your...

I'm hoping for thoughts/opinions. What exactly should chameleon legs look like? I ask because I would say my boy's legs look like "Popeye" legs... as in, his "forearms" look bulky. Is he fat? Are they bent as if he has MBD? Googling MBD only gives me absolutely crazy obviously-terrible legs...

Unfortunately to afford that I would have to put off getting him a new cage for probably another month, or choose a different make for the cage. I'm trying to budget for the cage, new lighting, and new environmental setup (plants and such) so an additional $75 puts it outside of budget for the...

Oh, I am so sorry, I got way ahead of myself. I have a veiled chameleon (male, adult).

Sorry if this has been answered a million times, but I feel so overwhelmed by information, I'm hoping for a straight answer! I'm getting ready to upgrade to a medium Dragon Strand cage, here: https://dragonstrand.com/product/medium-atrium-screen-drip-easy-drainage-tray-dragon-ledges/ I think...

Getting ready to upgrade to a DS cage here, too, and the set up has me so stressed! I'm so worried I'll do it wrong.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I'm so glad to see other chams do this! Karma crawls up into his bedtime spot about 30 minutes before the light goes out. It's crazy to me that he knows! It's also super duper cute. :love:

Is Larry a particular color or kind of veiled cham? He has a similar colorway to my Karma bubby, although when sleeping Karma has very distinct/bright orange in his tail and casque. We don't know where Karma came from, so when I saw how similar their coloring was, I had to ask. :)
