Do not have any lights on at night, they need darkness to sleep so find another way of heating at night. i just use a blanket and cover his cage and this allows the temperature to drop which they also like. He will definitely be too large for that tank in 3 months. I made the same mistake as...

what is your night bulb? You dont want any light at all at night and you want the temperature to drop too.

I may be wrong about this but Im sure i read that spinich isnt good for a chameleon?

haha you're right, i just read that back and it totally sounds negative. I am totally loving my experience with my chameleon and have never spent so much time staring at a plant, he blends in too well.

Waiting sucks but at least you will have time to get everything ready. what breed are you looking to get?

Looks awsome. Have you used this film before and tested how it stands up to light exposure and water? I am using a similar film over my cage and after a months worth of spraying water and exposed to light it is starting to go a bit cloudy. Mine is only 2x3 foot and i get it free from work so i...

Thanks for all the feedback, i hope to keep adding to this as i continue my journey of chameleon ownership. One thing I wanted peoples opinions on is misting, well the first misting session of the day really. I usually give Doc his first misting on a morning before i turn his lights on hoping...

This statement is pretty concerning, I hope I have mis-interpreted it.

sorry to hear this, were all 3 kept in the same cage?

excellent thread. I really appreciate it when people spend their time creating informative and well written posts.

you can do it anyway you want mate, i just think it would be easier to keep track and find things if they are all in the same place.

yeah i guess they do but IMO they would be better all in the same thread, why not make a dropanuke video thread and put them all in there rather than starting a new one every time.

While its always nice to see vids of chameleons, could you have not posted this in one of your other topics as you currently have around 5 on the go which are pretty much the same?

you should be turning all lights off at night as Chams need darkness to sleep. Are you dusting his feeders? I hope you told the person who give it to you that pets as surprise presents are not a very good idea, especially exotic lizards which require a lot of care.

haha I actually lol'd at that one

I thought I would start this topic just so I could point out a few observations I have made as a newcomer to Chameleon ownership in the hope it will aid future new owners or even put off some who are incapable of their care. These are just my observations of owning a veiled chameleon so far...

you will need to angle the base so the water runs towards the holes.

Thats just how they move, its to mimic the motion of leaves blowing in the wind and helps to conceal their movements from predators. Im not trying to be funny but how much research did you do on chameleons before you got one?

michelle did you make any of the changes advised in your previous topic? Im just wondering as everything seems exactly the same even though people offered some very good advice?

You still need to start gutloading your feeders and not relying on the petshop as they are hardly going to tell you they feed them crap, and really how hard is it to shove a few scraps of veg in with them? You also need to get a thermometer and hygrometer to measure temps and humidity and...
