I recently got a female veiled chameleon. She is about 6 months old. When I first got her, the person at the local pet store suggested that I put moss on the floor of the cage becuase it holds humidity. I have a cage that is about 30x30x12 (38 gallons). It has screen doors on the sides and...

Where can I get calcium without D3? I looked at the local pet store where I bought her and also Petco, and could only find calcium with D3. Is there somewhere I can order it online? Thanks for all the great tips!

That's what I thought. I just wanted confirmation from someone more experineced. Thanks for the quick reply!

I got a female veiled chameleon yesterday. She did not eat anything yesterday, but today she ate 4 small crickets around 3:00 pm. From about 5:00 until now (8:10), she has been sitting in the exact same place. She seems alert otherwise (moving her eyes around, flinched when I turned her light...

Day 2 Well after we got her last night we tried to put some meal worms in the white ceramic bowl we have for her in the cage branches. She looked at them for a few minutes and decided not to go for them. I noticed this morning a very very small insect (like the ones you feel tickling your skin...

The temp gauge reads 85 on the side with the heat lamp.. the cooler side is closer to 75.. It is only 100 when i actually took the gauge and put it face up on a branch where the actual chameleon would be directly below the spotlight at its highest point.. If this is a problem I will buy a 75...

Well we picked her up an hour ago and everything went real smooth. I ended up ditching the red heat lamp and getting a spotlight with uva and of course my uvb 5.0. I also figured out that the red heat lamp is radiant heat and was greatly affecting my humidity sensor due to it drying out the...

Thank you for the replies! I went out and got a normal spotlight (100 watt uva zoo med) in between posts and I guess I do not need any heat lamp at night? The employee at the local pet store said having a ceramic heater for night would be much better than a red heat lamp.. but If I have AC and...

Thank you for the reply (p.s. my girlfriends name is Amanda). I am getting a veiled chameleon and it is four or five months old. The red lamp is for basking and heat (I may replace with 50 watt zoo med basking lamp). I mist with a habba mist (I know it is not the best) with two sprayers attached...

oops Sorry I forgot to mention it is a veiled chameleon. Also we plan on getting live plants inside the cage but have to wait a couple months for the fertilizers to decompose.. A pothos plant to be more specific

Hello, Me and my girlfriend have been thinking about getting a chameleon for months and finally decided to do it! We have both read many articles and have prepared ourselves as well as you can without actually having experience. We set up the cage yesterday (old school oceanic 38g glass with...
