Hi I would recommend getting a fecal / parasite test done as soon as possible, ( not to scare but this is very important) where did you purchase you cham

I guess I’ll go. I’m Vikki. :) I have a problem with talking wayyy too much so I’m going to do my best to keep this short and sweet. I started with my sweet Grumpy in 2019. I knew nothing about chams and only took her to save her from an uncertain fate with my stepdaughter. Poor Grumpy - was in...

I don't find that exact size. Min. suggested sizes are 24"x24"x48" (60cm x 60cm x 120cm) or 36"x18"x36" (90cm x 45cm x 90cm); ideal size: 48"x24"x48" or larger. IMO the reason he runs at you is that he knows you're the avenue out of the enclosure. Screen climbing is natural—nothing to be...

See my info in red bold... This is going to be a lot of information. I promise you will get correct info here and the links we give you for resources are correct as well. I can tell you received a lot of incorrect info. So I will go through everything for you. Ask questions please. Hi! I am a...

Thank you so much I will buy reliable thermometer and hygrometer. Also I forgot to mention that sometimes when I mist the enclosure he is trying to climb (if that happens I usually put him on small Palma that I have) on me and when should buy him bigger enclosure?

Hi everyone, new to the forum. My name is Jennifer and I'm located in Northern Alabama. I've been keeping chameleons for a month and currently have 26 Trioceros Ellioti. (YES, you read that right. NO, I'm not a troll and NOPE, I did NOT intend/ask for/want to have double digit quantities of...

Well yes but the only reason that wouldn’t really work is cause he always climbs on the screen closer than I would want him to get to the heat. His basking is up to like 84 but he still climbs? so I have to raise the uvb instead of just lowering the basking branch

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled chameleon, male, hatched in January. I have him since March 11 Handling - I handle him only when necessary (In the beginning we had trouble with his first tiny cage and I hade to take him out a few times) Feeding - I feed him 10 crickets a day. He should...

So my baby chameleon has been going to the bottom of his cage and hanging from the top the last couple days, the reason why I'm confused is bc he never does this, hes been "exploring" alot more. I've gotten my husbandry checked and there's nothing seriously wrong that I'm doing. I know they...

I have 3 hybrids... I live in northern Cali where the natural humidity level is high. I keep 3 male veileds currently. I run a dehumidifier in the room during the day to pull the humidity down from the 80-85% it reaches without it down to 35-40% during the day. I do run a different misting...

they will become quite a bit more active as they get used to their enclosure... How much are you feeding baby? Did you account for the correct distance from UVB to basking with the wire gauged screen you used on the enclosure?

You will want to add more horizontal branches from 8-9 inches below the screen top. And pull that uvb to the middle or angled diagonally. There is no place in the back for him to bask to get uvb... This poses a high risk for him to develop MBD. He could be patrolling for many reasons.. Not...

Ok so if you think that is the reason then why ask for help? Mind you that it is not the only possible solution.... and shutting off lights does nothing but make it colder. Babies screen climb consistently until they weigh too much to hold the screen. So the cage has to be set up in a way to...

His claws are too big to climb up the screen cage they don’t fit through the holes and he only likes being on his stable branches

Totally understood 😃👍🏻 being responsible is key.

With a screen cage, is the whole enclosure not climbable by the chameleon? From my perspective, I would imagine the chameleon can climb right up the side to get close as possible to the light or even grab the top of the cage, exposing his belly to the light. For this reason, I do not like...

-Today I put him 15 small crickets, he has eaten only 3 since 6am. - I am considering buying Arcadia insect fuel - The Reptivite do have D3 - I have looked carefully at his feet and belly and the skin looks perfect. He doesn’t seem to have burns. Today he was under the UV light again when I...

Be a responsible keeper and don't allow them out at the same time, and ideally, not in the same room. Many of us have dogs and cats and the same rules of common sense apply. Be responsible and aware of where they both are. Parrots will chew, bite, climb, and get into mischief. My family has...

Hello everyone, I hope this is the correct subforum for this thread. As stated in the title, I'm not the primary carer for this chameleon, but I am very much concerned about his welfare and happiness. This chameleon lives in his terrarium in my office space. I help with his welfare and...
