I agree, I think that's a female. There don't appear to be any tarsal spurs (little bumps on the backs of the rear feet). It's been a long time since I last had a baby veiled but I would guess that one is around 5 months.

What a beautiful girl!

I actually used to work at one of these stores and can back up those stating that it's an issue of them having orders from corporate to keep everything uniform from store to store. I even offered to buy and set up a suitable screen enclosure for the chameleons but the manager could not let me...

I think they could jump over, or climb the plants in the cage and jump out. If I were to use an iguanarium I would probably cup feed. Maybe the experts have other ideas though. Welcome by the way, there are great people here. :)

Do keepers typically dust phoenix worms, or is their calcium content already high enough? Just trying to get back up to speed before I get my panther. :)

I would get them in as small an amount as you can first just to be sure that your cham likes them. I could never get my veiled cham to eat them, which is unfortunate since they have great calcium content. Also be sure to open the container outdoors if you notice any getting dark. They turn...

The veiled I had several years ago loved dubias. I would definitely recommend them over crickets. They don't smell even nearly as bad, make any noise, jump, or climb smooth surfaces. I hope your cham likes them too!

I like the idea of using real sticks taken from outside that was suggested to me by a forum member. Are there any particular types of trees from which I should avoid using the sticks in my cham cage?

I'm trying to decide what live plant(s) I would like to use in my cage (large breeder series from Dragon Strand). All of the wild vines I see around are ivy and I know that some ivy is poisonous. I'm wary to use pothos since I do have a cat and I know he would love to eat a plant if he got the...

I definitely agree from the experience I had with my Veiled that they become more docile (if "docile" is the right word) outside of their cages. Mine spent as much time outside the cage as I could allow. In the early stages, I was always sure to take him out by providing a stick for him to grab...

Thanks for the tip! That's great to know. :D

I got out of the habit of using real plants because I had issues with them attracting gnats, but I am open to trying it out again (especially since it seems to be considerably less humid out here). Have any of you tried growing pothos in water without soil? I know that it can be done, and I...

Thanks for the welcome back and the breeder recommendation! I have some preparing to do but I'm hoping to be set up in the next couple of months. I remember hearing previously that Panthers tend to be more docile than Veileds. It will be pretty awesome if that is the case because my Veiled...

Hello all! Hello again, I should say. I actually had an account here years ago (which I can't access since I no longer use the email address associated with the account), since I owned a male Veiled and could always count on the forum members for great advice. Sadly, I had to find a new home for...

Does anybody know some good stores in the Seattle area selling fake vines, plants, etc to use for my chameleon cage? If possible, I would like to avoid the big-name stores. I have lived here for a couple of years after living in the midwest, and I am having a harder time finding specialty...

Do I have your permission to use any answers/statements in my Mini-Ethnography Essay? Yes. Describe yourself and/or your role in the reptile community: I used to volunteer at a zoo, where I educated the public about various animals and especially reptiles. I now volunteer at a university...

My coworker just found out that her landlord decided to let her keep the chameleon, so she is no longer looking to sell the terrarium. I apologize if anyone was hoping otherwise.

I know that my male veiled is always more friendly when he is allowed to free-range for a while, but at the same time he is a bit on the friendly side for his species. I wouldn't say that free-ranging will definitely make the cham nicer, as I can also see how it could make the cham meaner since...

I am posting this for a friend. She unfortunately can't keep her young female veiled and is looking to sell her lightly used (only owned around 2 months) Naturalistic Terrarium and the accessories/decor. In case you are not familiar with this type of terrarium, it is the type seen here...

Here's Napoleon. He is very territorial about his cage, but has never bitten anyone and likes to climb around on people once he's out of the cage.
