No it’s never smelly across the room, just when I get close to it and sniff it. It just smells like... well, poop? But that goes away after a bit. Is that normal?

My almost 6 month old female veiled always poops in the same spot every day, this is on the little climbing frame I made her in a napkin which I then throw away straight after she’s pooped on it. Is it normal for it to smell just after she’s done it (If I stick my nose in it lol) and then for...

Ok I’ve just raised the Light fixture a few inches, so it’s now about 83 degrees. Do you have any possible explain action to her sudden change in colour?

She’s also been a lot more active since her shed too.

So my 5 month old veiled cham has been a bright green since I got her (about 5 weeks ago) then, the day after she last shed she is only really showing her dark basking/cold colours. Is this normal, if so how long does this phase usually last? Her basking spot gets to about 86-94 degrees. Thanks.

Ok thanks a lot for the help :) and by big girl colours do you mean receptive colours? Or like final adult colours? :)

Hi guys, I accidentally bought 2 linear UVB bulbs, I know they only last about 6 months when in use, my question is, before they have been opened, can I keep one for 6 months then use it when the other one has been running for 6 months? The is in advance :)

Ok so I won’t really have to worry about her getting egg bound just yet if she doesn’t show her receptive colours?

Hi, yes I think I’ll get one, just to make sure though, did you mean most keepers adjust their feeding schedules when they have eggs inside them, or when they are of an age when they are able to lay eggs?

Thanks for the info! Just to clarify, do they always get those markings, even if they weren’t impregnated?

Yes, here’s a photo, she hasn’t moved from here pretty much.

Hi everyone, So my 5 month old veiled chameleon just shed her skin, it went very well, no stuck she’d anywhere or anything luckily :) One thing though, since the day after she she’s she’s been acting slightly strange, she hasn’t been as active as she normally is and her colours seem to be a bit...

Took this photos of Piff looking at a cricket this morning!

Yeah I know, she actually used to be on a higher place in my house but I moved her out of my bedroom, now she’s a little lower. And yeah I remember I used to take her to the window on my top floor where she was high above the outside and she’d just stare out ??.

Yes she is on a table, I’m quite tall so yeah I think I will move her up, maybe put her cage on a (sturdy) box or something!

Oh right so she’s doing the yawn as a way to try and intimidate a possible predator?

Yes that first paragraph sums up what she is doing well, is it common that they only do it when I go to her cage? She sometimes does it then climbs straight onto my arm afterwards!

Hey man, thanks for the fast response, I’ve read some stuff in this forum describing similar movements as a yawn though? Can anyone else chime in to confirm if this is a yawn or not?

My nearly 5 month old veiled chameleon seems to do this weird thing where she (when I am present and about to feed her or handle her) seems to do a ‘yawn’ and then twist and stretch her body, is that normal behaviour for a female juvenile veiled? Otherwise she’s eating great, no health problems...
