She is such a beauty! Male veilds are awesome, but females always end up so pretty! Stella has me wanting a moody, pissy little lady veiled 😂
All very helpful, thank you so much for your input! I’m already in the habit of washing the crap out of my hands between interactions with each cham. In...
I meant to reply to you and my original message and of course I accidentally managed to leave it out. Sorry about that!! He did just shed recently. I‘m so hoping it’s a little piece of stuck shed left 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thank you so much for your input, @Beman!
I definitely agree with you on cutting back to every other day. He didn‘t get any feeders yesterday. Today he took a couple silkworms and a very fat/well gutloaded dubia, which is an improvement for sure. I’m thinking I’ll cut out superworms entirely...
Very informative and thank you so much for sharing.
My first chameleon ever was a female Jackson’s. I definitely have a soft spot for them but have avoided montane species since they need such a drastic drop in night time temps. This is really great information to know should I ever try my hand...
My little blue boy is keeping me up at night a lot as of late :(
About two or so weeks ago, Bastion‘s health took a nose dive. He was hardly moving and had both eyes shut. Thought for sure I was going to lose him. Called up the exotic vet I used for Beau and had planned on taking Bastion to...
The splash back 🙃
Today I fed Beau some pretty heavily gutloaded dubias this morning and got splashed right above the lip with roach guts. Last month, it landed right on my forehead. It’s happened with hornworms (especially hornworms), dubias, discoids, silkworms, even superworms.. I swear if a...
I jjust had to handle a super pissed off cham (he’s normally pretty sweet but he had a medical issue and wasn’t feeling well). Definitely one of the more fun parts of cham keeping lol
Get a pretty decent sized box so you don’t have to fight your little beastie when you go to put him in it. I...
I had a feeling that was a coastal chams baby! He had another clutch of eggs from this same pairing. They’re incubating now, but I‘m hoping to get one in a year or so when they hatch!
No, you’re not. When you don’t know, you don’t know.

Kai Phan on Facebook also sells ‘em!
Your cham is gorgeous. What locale is he?
I know it’s been a while. Did you ever get this figured out? I nearly went with two Zen Habitats cages and had some thoughts/ideas about a decent drainage set up.
Aah.. okay. That would make sense. He’s a mature boy for sure. Thanks for your input on that! Recently, he’s been going outside once a week, weather permitting. Three digit weather is the norm here, usually starting in June and lasting through September. When it’s above 80 I won’t take him out...
I’ve been noticing Beau scratching at the door of his cage for the past week. I’ve looked over his enclosure (he’s being kept in a 2 x 2 x 4 Tamura PVC cage).
Cage details: UVB light comes on at 7 AM, Sansi grow LEDs come on a half hour later. Basking bulb is on a dimmer and comes on at 8 AM. I...
