So that would be a compact bulb-do you know what brand? Also-veggies and fruits are gutload-that is what you would feed your crickets. Supplements are calcium powder and multivitamin powder that you lightly dust the crickets with. You do not need anything for substrate-you can leave the cage...

Lights off and a little extra misting. Those temps will not hurt them.

What kind of UVB and what kind of supplements? Please remove the dirt stuff(substrate) you have at the bottom.

He does not appear to have MBD-but if you do have a plastic cover over your UVB bulb you DO need to remove it. UVB does not pass through glass or plastic.

Get your basking temps way down-no higher than 90-that should help. If he is eating I would not stress too much-some Veileds are just very closet drinkers.

Those analog thermomters are garbage for measuring basking temps-what it the temp in his basking spot? Was he pooping at all? Some chams are amazing closet eaters. 10 crickets a week? He should be eating 15 crickets a day.

The competing for food thing is pet store garbage. I am not sure I would even leave him there. You need to bring him home and house him separately from the female. Try raising his temps a bit and see if you can get him to eat some appropriately sized crickets.

That is very sad, and I have had a few pet rats ini my time and recommend them over other rodents. If you want to save the other ones you have I would get them to a Vet. Rats get things that are very communicable to other rats, and if you saw one with a yucky nose you certainly have something...

Wow-he looks great! Post some pics as he ages.

I love the fixture as they look nice on top of the cages-BUT-You MUST REMOVE the plastic cover-UVB does not pass through glass or plastic. I have never understood why that fixture comes with a plastic cover. And I have always replaced that bulb with a Reptisun or Reptiglo 5.0.

Yes, they are hard to keep alive and neos have a high mortality rate, but it is possible and we have seen people raise them sucessfully with little experience. They need a cage thatg has decent airflow and you need something that will provide an area of 77-80 for basking and another area in...

You need to get him to a Vet pronto. If you fill out the form here, we can help point out and husbandry issues that may have helped put him into his current condition. Chameleon Info: * Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? *...

Have any more pics?

I have heard that Chuck has a training method to make his chams aggressive. :)

I wish we could assume these things. The OP is talking about needing to cool the glass tank in order to house a chameleon that would "work" size wise in the Exoterra tank that he wants to use.

I think that people should understand that caging is very dependent on the climate-with climate also meaning "inside the house". If you do not have air conditioning, and it gets hot where you live, glass cages are not going to work. I know that Chris just basically said this very thing, but...

OK-this made me almost spit my drink all over my desk! Too funny!

Schefflera make me crazy! I have had some that live just fine in darker Reptariums, and then have some in screen cages that lose all their leaves and die. No rhyme or reason!

If it will eat mealworms you might want to try it at this point-just to get it eating. There is not such thing as a good analog thermometer-they are not designed to measure a basking spot temperature.

Thanks! LOL! Hatch over a 100 pyglets and you get good!
