I know. My youngest sis could maybe do something until she starts school again but in my experience she tends to care for animals pretty sloppy even for a 14 y-o. Other members would probably only go as far as mist him or maybe throw in an apple to the feeders but not touch them due to fear of...
Mine does not seem to care for them much but there was this huge beast fly that got into his enclosure a couple of weeks ago. That one became a tasty snack indeed ;)
I can't say even my panther comes running to get out but he likes to do it if I open up or pick him up. He just likes to explore his freerange or look out of the window. I've heard its a "teenage" behavior (my cham is 1.5 so not really that young) in chams. That they like to leave their...
As mentioned before, that is unfortunately not a terrarium suited for a chameleon. Chameleons such as the veild are tree dwellers and live above ground and feel sort of exposed on the ground. She would do better in a tall one where she can enjoy climbing around just like in the wild. I just...
So I am going away on a trip as the irresponsible adult I am. I will be away maybe 2-3 weeks (someday after new years eve) but I don't dare leave my panther behind with my the rest of my family. They're afraid of the feeders and aren't very good as misting so I've decided to take the risk and...
That isn't something that happend over 10 days, that has been going on for a longer time since she looks so bad. I am very upset by op but I'll keep myself together. I would like to see how the other two chameleons look tho
Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think that's the bug. I've googled pictures and it does not seem to quite match. This creature does not have a distinct head, the only moving part is the thinner one which it seems to be using to move around as I cannot spot any legs in this. I have also...
So I was cleaning away a dead loctus from a dead loctus and found some form of parasite on it. I looked closer into the bin I am keeping the hoppers in and found multiple individuals of this weird looking insect. I am guessing it is a nymph of some kind but what?
Weird looking fellas with...
I had (still have) a large qulture of isopods but the mold was just to overwhelming for them. I don't think it's a good idea to take mold for granted just because the cleaners can eat it. Mold emits poisonus gas which will hurt your reptile and yourself. During the worst mold problem I noticed...
Thank you! Not much else you can do with chameleons and substrate than experimenting haha!
The green bios are always the most beautiful to look at! In my first setup I regular garden soil I bought at the closest store but I had a too big problem with mold the last weeks which is the biggest...
When he looks so blue in some pics he certainly looks like a nosy be. But I am not an expert on Nosy bee so I don't know if they can go so green almost like a Nosy mitso. I'll let some of the seniors declare what he could be for certain :)
Welcome to the forums!
Beautiful cham you got there! :D
I'm impressed by the setup! Not every new member can say they have a good amount of vines and branches for their little one
More leaves for hiding can always do but it is a nice setup!
This thread is about my bioactive terrarium and it's progress and some of my freerange builds on the side. It's been a while now since I did a rebuild of my bioactive setup and by now all the plants have settled and started growing again. I have seen big changes in the humidity which is alot...
You should supplement with calcium without D3 at every feeding and calcium with D3 and multivitamins twice a month.
Please read through this caresheet and then write again if you have futher questions: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/
Good luck
My cham also climbed the mesh top alot when he was new to his enclosure and it stood on the floor. Moved it up on a desk and now he is rarely climbing in the ceiling. I would say it's stress behavior

How much you should feed depends how old and what species you have. You can feed as much stable feeders as you want to. Worms are not a stable/basic feeder tho. You should go for crickets and roaches (dubia is the most common) and give worms as treats. Try to avoid...
