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...

Thank you for your reply!! I just wanted to respond to some of your remarks to clarify and/or answer your questions :) I just wanted to clarify this, I use NoD every feeding except for the 2x a month feedings that I use LoD :) I didn't explain that very well haha, sorry. Yes I have a dropper...

As a matter of record, my guys basking area runs some where around 3.3 depending on the angle of the meter ( which needs a redesign btw ). The photocell / sensor should be situated in away that the sensor is on the shortest side and the readout is on an edge that could be read when laid flat...

Hi yes I would keep lights raised, but sorry for not making my point clear so a t8 is likely to give off less uv than a t5ho especially with a 5% tube so I would raise it a few inches above not 8 . Or change to your t5ho 5% and lower to around 4 , the chances of thermal burn from a uvb are...

I've started second guessing lately if Pepper might be unhappy in her cage for some reason, rather than just being a bottomless stomache that knows I'm the food-bringer and demands my attention whenever she sees me 😂 so I just want to make sure everything still looks good and maybe get some...

I know this about the tong feeding and it’s definitely a main reason I’m trying to switch over to cup feeding thank you for the links and suggestions I’m definitely going to look into a different feeder. Yes there are a lot of branches hidden in the brush. He explores all over and has a branch...

So is your thread coming from the other thread in which you told someone that their brand new cham was climbing the top screen due to incorrect UVI or temps? I guess I am confused at what you are wanting to get out of this thread.. If Fergusons chart says 3-7 and they are stating a 3 UVI why...

I have heard about retained eggs and egg binding and I sure hope that isn't the case! I see that she looks a little bigger as if she does have eggs, the vet also clarified that it is noticeable that she does, but I tried doing some closer observations and luckily they aren't super visible like...

Little ones love to screen climb! As they get older and gain weight, they will stop. The UVB is probably the most important thing right now so you are off to a great start. Just do what you can, when you can. As per the coconut chips, many pet stores don’t have up to date info on the care...

Welcome to the world of the Veiled Chameleon. They are munchers.

I like that you put him in a corner. That eliminates two windows where he could feel exposed and threatened. Maybe use some Velcro strips and attach some coroplast sheets so no water gets on your walls. I did it for $30.00 with the sheet from Home Depot. I think that’s the main issue...

I used to dump crickets in and let them do their thing. It turned out to be a mistake. Cleaning requirements drastically increase, to say the least. It's highly recommended on here to NOT let crickets roam. we usually runs cricket runs or screen feeders. I am using this screen feeder that...

These are all in the same so if you are wanting to let’s say offer a 7 at the screen. The animal isn’t getting the full picture as in heat, LUX,UVA and so on. The spectrum is incomplete so there in turn the animal with basic instincts does not understand that that light is only giving off high...

There’s a few things in here that give me pause, and lead me to believe you may have found outdated or incorrect husbandry info. When a chameleon closes its eyes during the day, it’s a sign of illness usually. When a veiled chameleon doesn’t want to eat, that’s a sign that something is going...

Hi! I am a first-time cham owner and have been struggling to find accurate info, I swear every question I ask has twelve different answers and the pet store owners are clueless, some cham breeders I met at a reptile expo all had different advice for me. Now Pascal, my cham, isn't acting herself...

Cage Info: Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? All of it it glass except for the top which is metal mesh and a piece of cardboard to keep it up so jalapeno won't burn himself. That doesn’t sound too safe. The lights can get really hot and I’d be...

I always check but they're usually mushy. I wait a bit anyway just in case I missed one that is actually a fly. He LOVES silkworms and will eat the mid sized and smaller, so going smaller might get him to eat a bit more volume. He also loves wax worms, luckily not as much. He has eaten crickets...

Thank you so much for all your amazing help! I'll take everything into account, I already removed the moss because of your recommendation, and I'll make sure to remove the lucky bean plant! Thank you so much! If you think of any more tips I'm all ears<3

I really only put my hands in when putting in and taking out food. His hornworms are the only thing I hand feed him. I put my hand in slow and after he eats it, I leave my hand in there for another few seconds, then take it out slowly. I always try and look away when he's eating. He has had to...
