Well, it’s Saturday now, but I took the pics yesterday. It’s all my critters. Chameleons first though. The always gorgeous Stella. Not even a papilloma can mar her beauty, at least in my eyes. I love love love this old lady. I’ve had to make some accommodations for her aging abilities and...

Hi. Antwan looks good and I love his enclosure. Was there maybe something that spooked him before he stayed in his sleep spot? One of my boys will come running as soon as he sees me open his door…usually. Often it’s difficult to put his bugs in his feeding station because he’s climbed on my...

also, wont the mesh melt if i put the heating lamp on top?? and is it better to have it off if his basking spot is around 27 already?

thank you so much!!! this really helped, i’ll get started on the changes as soon as im done with work!

Your Chameleon - Rambo is a yemen chameleon, i didnt get told how old he was but i think around 2 months? got told hes a male and ive had him for around 2 weeks now. From the size of him and his casque, I’m not so sure he’s as old as 2 months. To verify his gender, look at his back feet. Males...

Thanks! Well this is good to know as everything I have read and listened to makes it seem like there is something wrong with his enclosure, otherwise he wouldn't be wanting to come out to me. I can take him anywhere in the house or out of the house and he stays on my head or shoulders. He...

She should be attracted to the linear UVB's light source, as it is "the sun" to her. If your ambient temp is too high for the recommended, doing what it takes to cool down the room isn't a bad idea. Monitoring the temps and humidies will really determine how necessary it is. I'm not versed in...

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...

That is the number one reason why I put him in a DS enclsoure. My boy has lost 5 claws from screen climbing. I hate it!

My guy screen climbs although his setup is in perfect condition, he’s done it since he was a baby. If he can’t burn himself with the basking light on top then I don’t really see it as a big issue. Once he starts getting bigger and gaining more weight he will probably stop as screen climbing, for...

Hey guys, This behavior has started up again, the screen climbing. I’m trying to rearrange branches to see if that helped. Is there any reason why he may have started feeling restless again without many changes to temp/humidity/diet? The one thing of note that had changed is that top...

So one thing about veileds that I have noticed is they tend to be a little more restless. With males you will see this when they want to mate as well. They will climb screens non stop. Make sure you have a few branch options at basking level. Make sure one is parallel to the UVB fixture as well...

I'll definitely add more sticks for him around his enclosure, and especially the UVB area. The bulb strength is 5.0, and it is 7.5 inches from his branch. His tongue shoots and retracts normally, but since he is blind in one eye, his accuracy isn't very good. This is part of the reason we need...

So I do not see a T5HO long linear UVB fixture. Are you only using the compact screw in uvb bulb? If you have the correct one where is it placed? What supplements are you using? Post a pic for me please. These two things above are the two most common reasons for sleeping during the day when...

That’s why I just moved mine when he screen climbed. You don’t want to get him down when he is up there, it could make him more scared of you, he could fall or he could rip out a claw moving quickly from being upside down. It’s tough for a bit but eventually they stop.

The reason I have it so high is because of the top screen climbing. This is where I’m not sure what to do. If I leave it at the proper height above his basking space, he is still screen climbing, so that then makes him too close to the light. So to be safe I read to raise it above the screen...

Hi!! My name is Kristen and I am new to this website! I have done a lot of research through here before but finally started an account recently :). I had a few questions regarding my pet Veiled Chameleon that is currently undergoing her infertile egg laying process for the second time. For some...

So you want to take those vines off the top of the cage. UVB does not penetrate through the leaves. Then depending on the UVB bulb strength you need to ensure the distance is correct from the screen where the fixture sits to the branch below it. Also can be much better if the fixture runs...
