    Hey, so in the picture, I see that your Cham is on one of those net like things. I’m just kinda concerned about it because I heard that their feet can get stuck in the holes. I think those are for bearded dragons, anyway. Just was concerned about that :)

    Which UVB bulb is the best for Chameleons?

    Okay. Just one question: When I need to replace my UVB bulb, does it go out completely? Like just go dark and not turn back on?

    Can somebody help me with this?

    So, recently I’ve been wondering this question. Basically, I saw how many people had experience with species. I was wondering how I could make it so it would say that I have experience with Chamaeleo calpytratus calpytrarus Commonly referred to as Veiled Chameleons. This is mainly a question...

    Show me your feeding dishes!!

    I just use a plastic McDonald’s cup to feed my Cham. I do hand feeding AND cup feeding. Both help build trust. I would probably think that it would also work as just a feeder cup if you attached it to a branch or stick. It’s also tall enough to where the crickets can’t jump out. I’ve tested with...

    HELP?!!! IS HE OKAY? Do I need to bring him to the vet?

    So guys, yesterday when I tried to hand feed Spyro he didn’t want them. I just thought “ Okay, he probably just doesn’t want them right now. “ Today, I fed him 1 hornworm ( and left one of the side ). He ate the one from my hand. I came back to out the other one on a stick and then realized...

    Is this forcing him to climb on me?

    I know lol. And then when I hold them so they can’t grip on me the swing and shake around and try to bite me. One time when they did that it bit my nail and it felt so weird. It’s like they think that they’ll do so much damage to us by biting us but in reality it’s just kinda funny and weird...

    Is this forcing him to climb on me?

    Oh I have vinyl gloves. I’ll see the next time I handle a hornworm again if I get a rash again. If so, I’ll wear gloves from now on. Also I just hate it when there’s a hornworm and when you try to take it out from its container to feed it to your Cham, they also lash out and try to bite you...

    Is this forcing him to climb on me?

    Yeah, I might be allergic to them but maybe it was because I put the hornworm on my wrist instead of my hand. The only thing I’m worried about with gloves is Spyro’s tongue getting stuck on it or something. Do you think that would happen? Also, it just feels great to have them trust you...

    Is this forcing him to climb on me?

    A few days ago, I opened up spyros cage to feed him some hornworms. At this time, he was at the top of his cage and we basically we at the same height and in each others faces. Well, height wise. He ate all 4. But, when he was going to go hide at his plant, I stuck out my hand low enough so he...

    Cricket enclosure

    I keep my crickets in a 20 gallon fish tank. I put in egg cartons for them to hide in and stuff. They love them. I feed them leafy greens like normal and yeah. Also make sure to add water to water bottle caps. They love it. If you have a big enough tank with food and water, you could possibly...

    Am I doing something wrong? - veiled handling

    Your welcome. Glad he’s starting to trust you. Sounds like when Spyro started taking food from me. Tomorrow he might be hesitant to take food from you. Or maybe not. It might take like around a week of hand feeding before that starts to happen…..

    I have a question- with the sponsors, if you win, do you then choose a sponsor? Or do you choose it before you submit your photo? I’m just a little confused.

    Am I doing something wrong? - veiled handling

    You could possibly try hand feeding / cup feeding. It may or may not work. He still may need some time to adjust. You can try again, though. It’s good that he doesn’t puff or get defensive. Unlike someone….😐. Although, that may change as he gets older. Around the 8 month mark, they become super...

    Am I doing something wrong? - veiled handling

    Yeah, probably the log would work. Just depends on if he feels comfortable or safe behind it. About only having him for about less than a month, here’s a little “ test “ I guess to see if he’s ready to be hand fed: 1. When you come by his cage, does he puff up or hiss at you? Or does he...

    Am I doing something wrong? - veiled handling

    Also, something that I did that earned Spyros trust fast was kinda easy. Not sure if it’ll work the same for your Cham, or take as short of time as it did for Spyro, but I did a few things: 1. If they don’t trust you much, wait until they’re behind a plant with lots of leaves and their entire...
