David, I'm a newb here but following what many others have said, I keep my uvb on from sun up to sun down and adjust with the seasons, although I've only had to change it once since getting our lady veiled. I used to keep the basking on all day but experienced some problems so I have it...

Ms. Gizmo just shed for the second time since we brought her home. She's usually light green with white bars/spots to maybe darker green with yellow bars/spots. Today after she shed she turned the darkest blue/green we'd seen and then pure black over white. Is this normal? And while we're on the...

bjohnsey, I'm not an expert by any means but our veiled had a similar experience a few weeks ago. I had moved some things in her cage and she just stressed over it for about three days then settled down and hasn't done it since. Did you move him or make any changes to his environment recently...

The only thing we've feed besides bugs is pothos leaves. She'll eat them after they've been in there a while. Strawberries will be next for sure now!

I know that you've found the page but just in case someone else would like to look, here's the link at flchams site http://flchams.com/safe_plant_list.asp

We are all anxious to know how things are going with your new habitat. Post some pix when you can. How's your chamy doing?

Huh! Thanks for that info. I didn't see or hear that from anyone else. Anyway, she hasn't done it since...just two times a couple of weeks ago. We've had her almost 2 months now. She's between 8 & 10 months old by my estimate. Petsmart didn't know her age when I bought her.

There is such a wealth of help here. You will do well following all the advice. Mine is to get her out of that glass enclosure asap! I've seen some die from being in them. I'm new too so keep reading and learning as well. Keep us posted on your progress. I hope it will all be successful. They...

I dust the crickets too but put Calcimze (Exo-Terra) in the water along with Reptisafe with electrolytes. I gut load with orange cubes and dry gut load food. Everyone has different ideas and opinions. I keep reading and learning all the time. She loves the ice cube drip better than the spraying...

Do you know that until I came to this site I didn't know how to tell veiled male from female? This forum is terrific. I hope that Shrilly continues to listen to all the wonderful advice. I spent about three months preparing a home and our family for the day we purchased our first chamy, Gizmo...

I'm new to the whole veiled chameleon world, including this forum. We've raised turtles, anoles, geckos, birds, etc. I built our cage for Ms Gizmo in a round. It measures 20" dia. by 24" high. So far our chamy is 9" and seems quite comfortable there. However, I can see if she reaches her full...

Wow! That's quite a set-up. You have good room to work around. Looks really super.

I was looking for one of those but couldn't find one so I built my own. Does it has a zipper top cover or how do you enclose it?
