I've moved the heat lamp just a little closer to his hiding spot, so we will see how that goes. The distance is 8 inches.

Yeah, he should be fine with the enclosure on its side for now. If he’s falling or having trouble getting around, we usually advise using a hospital bin, which is just limiting space so they can’ climb or get hurt. From my personal experience and what I’ve read here, the majority of vets are...

Oh wow, I already feel so much better. Thank you!! I was so worried I would have to rehome him for being such a bad chameleon parent. No worries, I did ask for help, so I am happy to share. Let me go over each point: What type of uvb do you have and where is it? I can give exact specs when I...

Yes. I’ve learned a lot from him. There’s another reptile enthusiast that I’ve followed for a long time named Dav Kaufman (sp??). He goes all over the world to observe and learn about reptiles in their native habitats. He did an episode where he travelled to Madagascar to observe chameleons and...

Yikes! You need to stop this asap and get a calcium that does not have D3. He should get D3 only once a month. Vitamin D3 is a fat soluble vitamin, which means it stays in the body longer, so it can very easily build up to toxic levels. If your Reptivite does not have D3 in it, then you’ll use...

I have no idea of the distance you’d need to travel back to Dr Greek, but afaik, he is one of the better chameleon vets in the country and I’d definitely be going back to him if able. I choose to drive 45-60 mins each way for a good vet when I need more than just a fecal. Put your chameleon in a...

I thought something may be lodged in his eye however he does it with both of his eyes at the same time. A while ago he was constantly opening his mouth could this show signs of sinus infection aswell

Here is part two. Hopefully work won’t call me away again. Cage Info: Cage Type - Screen. Lighting - Dual bulbs. ReptiSun 5.0 UVB with amplified heat. What do you mean, “amplified”? Daylight Blue Basking light. Every morning I turn them on, every night I turn them off. You want a 12 hour...

You can put them in a closed (dark) box and they fall asleep.

I just bought the cups and filled them from my feeder bins. You don't want to dust the bugs with supplements because they'll survive better without that. I think there's a Chameleon Academy Podcast episode that covers travel as well. I'll look for a link for you later today.

Hello, I am planning to travel to Madagascar, Kenya in May. Is there a place where I can see a chameleon? Please share it with me.

Some are but not the one I linked it's much bigger than a laundry hamper. 4' dia. x 5' tall and only $60.

I let him out of his cage one day and the direct sunlight was hitting his branch. I’m still curious how this much damage happened through a window.. needless to say I will be looking for a vet to take a look at him as soon as possible. I’ll post an update :(

I recently got back from a 2-week expedition to Madagascar where I primarily looked for chameleons and observed them in their native habitat. I thought I would make this thread to summarize some observations I had during this time, probably over a few separate posts over time. Of course this is...

Wow, thank you so so much for you in-depth reply. I really appreciate it. It’s been so hard to find accurate information and how to care for my little guy properly without getting judged lol. I’m taking screenshots and noting everything you said down and will get everything fixed to my best...

Hi and welcome! :) Yoshi is quite the handsome big guy. Since you gave all of your info, I’ll give you some constructive feedback. Enclosure 1) Reptisun 18”x18”x38” (on 10am-10pm, timer) Your big guy has already outgrown this size and needs larger. The minimum size for an adult veiled is 2x2x4’...

I recently got my new little guy last week and I have built out his enclosure which is small and temporary while I wait for his new larger enclosure to come in. I have been doing research for about a year and am very excited for this journey. If you’re asking why I have a small enclosure if I’ve...

Hi. I’m so sorry that your little lady is not looking good at all. With her eyes so sunken in she is likely very dehydrated and usually when they start looking like this, …. 😢 Your very best action would be to get her to a good vet immediately. Most of us have to travel a bit for our good vets...

Interesting info about plants eaten by veiled chameleon…interesting to see the size of the area they travel in a short time… https://mauiinvasive.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/final-report-on-veiled-chameleon-for-hisc-research-and-technology-grant.pdf
