Oh crikey there's plenty more weirdness to come then! LOL I haven't done a great big WTF??!! Out loud since the seagull incident of 2001 lol About five in the morning I slowly stirred to a very strange sound in my bedroom. Like the sound glass makes when wet and you rub it. I lived at the top...

My male Veiled was in the full throes of his shed the other day and unlike my female on the last shed, looked to be doing what I'd expect, rubbing himself on a brance and making some effort to remove the skin. Both his eyes had big flappy bits of skin getting in his way as I offered some food...

Nice enclosures those! Unfortunately wood and high humidity just don't mix. I keep lots of snakes, I'm very inventive and I've tried so many different approaches over years and years. Always ending in enclosures being so damaged they get thrown. I can suggest a couple of ideas that do slow that...

Exellent I'll do that first thing in the morning :)

Yeah sorry I meant dripper lol I'm on heavy duty pain killers and I get a bit confuzzled... I keep snakes so I'm used to providing humid conditions for some of them but the chameleons are apparently quite sensitive so I'm still getting comfortable with the husbandry. I couldn't really shower...

Aaaw :( I'm really sorry to hear of your chameleon's death. :( Thinking of you...

Yep I have a mister in each enclosure :) I see them drinking all the time too. He was less then pleased to see me to say the very least lol He doesn't even look wrinkly here apart from his knee. If anything he looks fat! LOL I'd say that points toward the shedding being the cause, do you...

I do mist a few times a day, thaty's the odd thing. Is it better to let it dry out in there or keep it damp? I'm allowing it to dry to a point between sprayings. I'll go and photograph him now....

I've noticed my male veiled chameleon looks a bit wrinkly. He's shedding at the moment so when I first spotted it I assumend it was that. After all, my snakes go wronkley when in shed too. Now I've just seen him turning to his side and I saw he's looks very wrinkly!! That's not the begining...

Can an adult draw blood when in a sufficiently foul mood then?

Cor thanks :)

I didn't know that it's not just the colour changing that makes these guys invisible ( also didn't know they actually CAN do invisible) it's also the fact they can contort thier bodies into such weird shapes aswell!? They can utterly change thier outline AND change thier colour. I found a foot...

In my enclosures (and I'm new to this) I use a homemade dripper system which I turn on three three to five times a day and I also mist two maybe three times a day. Being as my enclosures are plastic vivariums with glass fronts, the humidity is kept fairly well. Although I've settled into what...

Thanks everyone :) Yeah I bet that's not good at all after years of looking after them :( It's very much a pet you can't help but get attached to aswell isn't it. If ever my wife and I see a dried Seahorse in a shop on the coast it really upsets her. Something about the way they look so delecate...

I do have her seperate and out of view yes :) I'll be doing a short video of my enclosures soon. Thanks for the links :D Just off for a read now...... :cool:

I know you'll all have seen these a milliuon times but this one is MY little darling lol This is Phylis my female Veiled. If anyone could comment on potential age that would be very useful. Based on what I've read about growth rates I'd put her at three months or so. What do you think? My male...

I have seen a yellow bit low down on her torso but I don't think she's sexually mature yet, she's barely hamster sized. Would the egg thing still be possible at that size? Should I make sand available at all times anyway? I'll get read up on that if it's possible at her age. I had thought she's...

Nah that's not basking temperature, that reading is taken from the warm end but oposite side of the ceramic. Basking temp would be mid to late 80's I'll check that again and get back to you though. You mention turning black to absorb more heat. That made me go aaaaaaaaaah...... of course! When...

I did mention a light, although not the uvb part. I DO have one in there yes. I did also mention she's a velied chameleon but on inspection the word "veiled" is camoflagued fairly well in my post in true chameleon style :) She has lots of hiding places, I'm used to providing for some fairly...

Camera settings depend on the lighting situation at capture really. The best advice I could possibly give to a begginer though would be to get yourself a good and fairly recent photoshop program and take your time to learn as much about how to use it as you possibly can. Join a photography forum...
