This is a super adorable animation! Unfortunately, this is not what Rango’s angry shakes look like. It’s more of a rumbling, almost? I’m really sorry I don’t have a video 😅 Your explanation lines up, though. He typically puffs up when he does this, so it could very well be a “back off” gesture!

Hey everyone! I’ve been noticing lately that Rango (my Veiled) has an odd habit. Whenever I put my hand too close to him (to clean, feed, etc.), Rango begins to shake in place uncontrollably and puff his chest as if he’s breathing rapidly (or panting). I’m aware that Chameleons do a little...

I gave Rango some carefully-watched outside time today. While holding him, I decided to take a picture. As I look back at these photos… I think his casque looks a bit more upright/healthier! What do we think? (My fingers have a few cuts from my kitties 😅)

Rango posed like this for a quick picture. I honestly have no idea why… but I think he knew what he was doing. 💚

Rango’s a bit camera-shy… but his startled tail is still adorable :)

I accidentally turned my flash on and it caught Rango’s attention! (he’s fine, don’t worry!)

Hey everyone! I’ve been wondering about my juvenile Veiled’s age since the day I got him. Since he’s a male, I recognized that he would naturally mature larger than a female… but I’m not good at guessing. 😅 My unprofessional estimation is 3-4 months. I’ve had him for maybe 1.5 months, if it...

Hey, everyone. At 4:44 PM today, I lost my mom. I just want to thank everyone for being so kind with giving me advice for Rango and his tank. I’m very glad to be part of such a welcoming and wholesome community. You’ve all helped significantly reduce the stress I’ve been going through lately—...

Good to know! Since he’s young, I would hate for him to gain too much weight or become an addict… but I’ll make sure he gets them as a treat occasionally :) I was actually looking at a similar tank in-person. Thank you for showing me this link— the other option I found was over $300 for a...

I’m actually working on brainstorming a way to rotate his cage, too! Unfortunately, placing the heat lamp on the glass would dim the effect and likely crack it… and UVB doesn’t work through glass :(. Maybe I could use a metal wire to attach the lamps to the lid? Nothing plastic… it would...

I haven’t filled those out, but I’ll get to it now! Rango’s enclosure is temporary until I can afford a taller one (which should be very soon), so please excuse the lack of height. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care...

On one of my forums, I was told that Rango’s casque looked a bit sunken. (He’s a Veiled Cham) Maybe it’s because he has MBD, or maybe it’s not sunken at all? Either way, it’s stuck in my mind and I can’t help but feel a bit concerned. (Yes, he has been eating all of his calcium only-dusted...

Thank you! Just curious— If I were to use the Reptivite, should I still dust plain calcium powder on his daily meals as well?

Hey, chammunity! I was online shopping for some dietary supplements. For reference, I have a juvenile veiled (male), who unfortunately has MBD. This is the product that I caught interest in— what do we think? Should I pick another product? Any feedback or recommendations are welcomed! (This...

Technically not photography, but I like to draw in my free time, so of course I drew my favorite cutie. 💚 (Even if he gives me the stink eye, I still love him!)

I put some bark in Rango’s tank for him to explore and bask on. Looks like he enjoys it already! :)

Thank you for the advice, Beman! I’ll change the insects and load him up with some crickets instead, alongside fixing his feeder itself. :)

Thank you for the heads up! I’ll be dusting his food with calcium powder a bit more frequently. I just didn’t want to accidentally overdo it, y’know? And yes, I did! Thank you :)

Hey everyone! I’m happy to say that Rango is getting better. I’m feeding him calcium-only powder via crickets once a week, and his UVB has been replaced. When Rango doesn’t eat from my tongs (he’s a bit sassy sometimes!), I tend to place his food in a running feeder I made. I followed a YouTube...

I’ve been trying to tame my male veiled chameleon by gently guiding him onto my hand (offering him it as a “branch”), and offering him food after he climbs onto me. However, after holding him for a few minutes to take some pictures, he started to buzz and close his eyes. I put him back as soon...
