Shedding is normal as they grow. Dont leave your basking light on all night. 12 - 14 hours max. they need darkness to sleep which may explain his loss of appetite. What is your lighting setup? please can you post some pics of your set up and chameleon and also fill in the form in this link...

How are you feeding her? free range, hand or cup? try a different method ie. if free ranging try a cup or if you are using a cup try free ranging. Also if you are using a cup then try using a bigger container. I was using a small cup and my veiled wasnt really interested and only ate...

dont worry about not seeing her drink especially if youve only had her 24 hours. from what i gather some owners never see their chams drink. As long as there is a white uriate at the end of its poop then its fine. What you do need to do is get rid of the black light bulb or at least turn it...

I keep all my crix in a small glass tank with egg cartons and toilet rolls and feed them scraps of veg. when I want to get them out i just pick up the egg carton or toilet roll and flick them into a small plastic tub which i use to dust and add specific gutload, I keep these in there for 24...

isnt that what camouflage is? using patterns and colours to break up the most obvious parts of an object?

its also toxic to humans, 22lbs is enough to kill an adult, but the quantities we usually eats are able to be broken down and digested.

Im sure that the only difference between the reptile specific bulbs and the ordinary household ones are that the reptile bulbs send more heat forward where as the home bulbs try to direct the heat backwards and away from where the light is pointing. I dont really see what difference it makes...

cool pics, that casque is huge.

no you dont want any lights on at all overnight.

Where about are you? I live in the NE of UK, on top of a windy hill, in an old farmhouse with the worst insulation ever and even with the arctic temps weve been having here (-15c) the temps in my chams cage have never dropped below 12c overnight with all lights and heating turned off. If you are...

petmania on Portrack Lane sell Veileds but to be honest they are kept in very small cages and look a bit... unhealthy is the wrong word id say more just unhappy. Id say the best place to get a baby cham in the Stockton area is Aquatic finatics in Northallerton, they are a small independent shop...

yeah my little guy is like that too, he will eat from his cup but seems less interested yet if one hops out of the cup he is onto it straight away. I guess he just likes a challenge.

One thing i think is constantly missed off the advice given to new owners is the amount of time you need to spend daily looking after it. If you are only 10 then i take it you will be at school for most of the day? who will be keeping an eye on it then? He will need regular mistings and a water...

I am new keeper myself and my experience is lacking but from what i have learnt from this site and others is that the most recommended lighting is a Linear 5.0 UVB like the reptisun and just use a ordinary lightbulb for basking. I use a compact 5.0 UVB bulb (some people have issues with this...

I would seriously consider ditching it and getting separate lights. The combined bulbs usually put out a lot of heat and uvb and can lead to burns. You would only be looking at around £30 to replace these for much safer alternatives. Your cham may be ignoring them now but it only takes one...

My 3 month old veiled only eats around 8-10 small crix and the occasional wax or mealworm. I was worried he was a little on the skinny side but he eats regularly and is gaining weight. I think hes just a casual eater, he doesnt scoff everything down all at once, he eats one or two then wanders...

Do you have a problem walking over smooth surfaces? I suspect your cham wouldn't either and ive never seen my cham walking on the floor when hunting, he swings down from his plants. carpet will probably be fine but ive heard of chams claws getting ripped off after getting caught in the fabric...

Looks better. What bulb are you using there? is it one of those UVA and UVB bulbs or do you have a separate UVB? I was looking at one of those vivariums but decided against them due to the fact that there was no mesh roof and lights had to be hung inside and I didnt fancy that if I was going to...

looks sweet although his basking area looks a bit exposed.

my baby veiled is probably gonna grow up hating me and loving my GF. All i ever seem to do is hassle him; misting, cleaning, etc and all she ever does is feed him.
