And all through my house is the sounds of crickets, butterworms and YES my 2 new Veiled Chameleons!! Finally got my enclosure built and today was the big day. We picked up a 4 month old female and male (from different litters). The are getting used to their new home as I type. The female has...
I was speaking with a local zoologist and he said since they (Chameleons) cannot hear this is their only way to communicate. Each color change symbolizes a message. I have also read what Stuey has said as well. The biggest myth is they change by environment. Hope this helps.

I've doing more rsearch and this has been one of my most confusing topics. I had an interesting conversation with a local zooligist. When I showed him pictures of my proposed enclosure he said why would you have that much ventolation in it? That will be impossible to keep it humid which is...

Yes I have another question. Does anyone out here use mercury vapor (metal halide) lighting in their setup? I was reading that you can use one of these systems for not only a heat light but it also replaces your reptiglo 5.0 light. I used to use metal halide lights in my aquarium business for...
Man this is stellar information! Thanks so much. One of the troubles I'm running into is finding some of the products listed. I'm wondering if I should buy a smaller cage and then upgrade into the new structure once he is a little older (advantage is now I would have 2 cages, see where this...
Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to purchase my first Veiled Chameleon in the next few weeks but before I do that I wanted to run past you what I plan on doing and I'm hoping you can set me straight if my research has lead me to some wrong conclusions. Here goes.
