He's just not friendly, and I suspect he never will be. And that's OK with me, chams do better when not handled anyways and I have other chams who "like" being handled. Part of the problem may also be that my dog has torn into his screen enclosure twice and tried to eat him, she was unsuccessful...
He's a biter, I've tried every trick there is, he will attack anything and everything that enters his enclosure. Also, before anyone says it, his eyes always look sunken, he has a very prominent brow ridge. His eyes always look sunken to some degree but his urates are always white.
And although...
It's really hard to tell from the pictures to be honest. I've found with my chams they will develop some white or lighter colored patches a few days before a shed. Hes had the spots since Friday?
For that size I wouldn't personally have a basking spot over 82 degrees. MVB usually aren't the best option, but can be doable with a proper setup, but t8 or t5 uvb fluorescent tubes are much preferred.
He's by far the meanest cham I have. I decided to get a few pictures of home today, usually I post pictures of my juvenile male panther but decided to show some veiled love today.
My veiled chams love eating hibiscus, but I can't keep those plants alive well at all. The dwarf umbrella plants work great in my panther enclosures and are very hardy and easy to keep alive.
Linear uvb lights are a much better option. What size cages are they in? 10.0 isn't usually recommended unless the cages are very tall and or heavily planted.
Correct. Although the wattage of the bulb is dependent on different factors, ambient temp, distance from basking spots, etc. You want a basking spot with temps around 85-90.
