Repti calcium at every meal and reptivite twice a month would be good. I would forego herptivite going forward. (y) Oh! I use reptical myself and notice it often overcoats and I have to wipe away excess with a damp paper towel. You will want your insects coated, but not appearing like powdered...

Did you by chance purchase the chameleon kit? If you did, a lot of the additional items are unfortunately unsuitable to a chameleon's health and longevity. This video offers solutions and guidance and will help you immediately and details why it is not sufficient at raising chameleons. Namely...

For supplements, you should dust with calcium without D3 at every feeding, except, and this is super important, two days of the month, that is, biweekly, you should use a multivitamin. The best and most trustworthy one is repashy calcium plus LoD. However, a more commonly available one is...

Once you acquire your UVB lighting, it's good to refer to this chart in knowing the placement. As you'll either purchase the reptisun t5ho 5.0 or arcadia prot5 6%, you will want their basking branch, that is, the one which will also sit under the basking bulb, to be 8 to 9 inches below the top...

So the gutload veggies would be for the bugs. You are legally required to be a bug parent too, owning so many chams :) That's what no one tells you lol Also! It's not recommended to give vegetables to our chameleons, just to the bugs they will eventually eat. As your girl is checking around at...

I'm not sure what part of the casque is being pointed out, but in my observation from drawing them, they tend to be lighter around the back edge, often a boney white color. Even my own cham's casque is showing this coloration:

So, the basking bulb is an entirely separate kind of bulb from the UVB you absolutely need for each of your three babies. Chameleons absolutely require either the Zoomed Reptisun T5 Hood with 5.0 UV-B Bulb 24" or Arcadia Reptile Pro T5 Kit, Forest 6% UVB, 24W, 24" otherwise, they will develop...

The laying bin appears to check out... She does look fairly gravid. Not sure if this could be related, but do you have a linear t5HO UVB bulb? The coil UVB bulbs often sold in these double light fixtures are largely ineffective for chameleons in captivity, and I just want you to know that. The...

Is it also easy for her to get into a leave the laying bin? It's helpful to have some sort of branches so she can sort of pathfind to and out of it.

It'd be most helpful for you to create a personal thread in the health clinic so those experienced with the topic can be made aware of your issue. Unfortunately, I'm not too versed on the subject to give any thoughts, but there are tons here very familiar with gravid females.

I'll definitely have to see about setting an RO filtration up. I don't think my water is awful hard, but all I can find to purchase is usually purified water (and it's always minerals for taste which IDK how terrible it is compared to well water) Thank you for the information, @JBissell For what...

The surefire way to identify the gender of your veiled chameleon is to share a decently clear image of their back feet. Males will have a tarsal spur, and females will not.

If your chameleon likes eating pothos leaves as much as mine, you may yet seem them again.

Their grip is so firm and feels so cute 🥺

Gosh, I hope so! Oh, the last two times I applied ointment to that eye, I've caught him rubbing it afterwards. The turret sort of balloons up during the whole fiasco. The branches are soft and sanded down, but I'm still like "oh no i hope he won't make it worse!" Any idea if that's a normal...

Oh yeah, that looks good. (Though I feel like I remember tweed-like string like this not really being recommended in a cham enclosure setting?) They can generally take around two weeks to settle in before they start comfortably eating. They are supposed to be quite ravenous as babies, but I...

As you've only had him for less than a week, I'd give it time. It takes them a bit to acclimate. When I first brought Spooble, my veiled chameleon, home, he ate pretty readily on the first two days. He then became shy about eating for a few days afterwards. I wondered if maybe those first few...

A little before and after The day before: And this one, I think it kind of illustrates a point of how big the blockage gets. It almost looks like the start of his turret here (the bulge on the left side of his face.) Today: It's totally emptied out, but you can see that there's slack in the...

Holy mother of sperm plug!

The name honestly came to me in a dream. I was deep in chameleon research and wanted one really bad, but it was the winter months so my subconscious must've been reeling at the fact I couldn't have one shipped. In the dream, I named the chameleon Spooble, and a second, Speeble. Follow your dreams 😅
