Hi, I have already posted some in the general discussion forum ( https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/new-to-chameleons-bit-nervous.147909/ ) but I'm afraid I should be in this section. I've been reading a lot here last few hours and I'm not sure what to think of the situation my sons...

@Cheeky, there is indeed a scar like spot on his head. I asked about that when I bought him and the answer I got (and accepted because I'm too gullible) was that he had a problem shedding skin and it left that mark... @kinyonga, I have all the vitamines and calciums now. I just need him to...

Thanks Brownie I took him out today for a while just to modify some branches and while he was climbing my arm he ate a morio worm. Nothing more though. I have added some more (taller) plants and moved his horizontal stick up 2 inches. I just checked to see if he was still sleeping there and he...

Hmm My wife, who's not too fond about reptiles at all, actually went to a pet store again because she thought the chameleon looked sad... women! Anyway, he was on the floor again, sluggish and she asked the store owner what could be wrong with him. He sold her some vitamines which is fine but...

Thanks brownie... I have been so misinformed, it's kinda sad. I was told to leave the heating light on 24/7 and only turn off the uvb and the fluorecent tube light. It's never below 13c in that room. So I should just turn everything off at night, did I understand you correctly? Also, neighbor...

Thank you brownie, I was just looking in to what the best temp would be. I think my neighbor has one of those and if not I'll make sure to get one. I'm reading about infrared 'lights' and ceramic 'lights' for heating (especially at night) without light. Not sure if this something I could use...

Thank you all very much! I will fix everything tomorrow and make sure the foliage is there. That might also be the reason he's on the floor, trying to hide between the plants... Thank you very much!

Thank you Brownie, will remove the glass and replace the UVB. Is it normal behavior for a chameleon to just, well, lean against plants and laying at the bottom? I have no Idea what the temp is higher up. The sensor was fixed about 4 inches above the floor in the opposite side of where the lamp...

Oh there's one more thing I forgot to mention... The previous owner had a tiny gekko in the same enclosure that lived inside a piece of bamboo. I have remove the gekko since I thought it was odd to have a very fast gekko in there, possibly stressing the chameleon. The gekko is in it's own little...

It's a terrarium, sliding doors and mesh part on top. I have an aquarium for the turtles.

... forgot this one. (edit: wrong one)

Hi Bob There's a UVB fluorecent light in there, but it's above the screen and glass. I thought that didn't work with UV? If not I'll fix that as soon as possible (this is the setup I bought like it was used before). The feeding of the previous owner was 5 grasshoppers a week and every other day...

Hi I'm new to chameleons and have read as much as I could sponge up from websites etc. I have bought a Jemen (Yemen?) chameleon from someone, including the housing it was in. I took him home yesterday with as little as possible stress (I think/hope). The previous owner clearly wasn't to fond of...
