    Runny urates?

    Silkies have been known to cause the runny. Do you know if he did eat some or just flat out refused them?

    standing in soil of plants

    I don't suppose there is anything wrong if he is hunting down there (where all the food is). It would be a problem if he was going down there and laying down or something though.

    auto misting machine

    Using the basic word "Common" the house presure is usually around 50-65 PSI. Older houses may actually run a higher pressure than newer ones. I've just recently finished hooking my misting system up to my house. I put a splitter off my hot water line going to my washing machine and ran that...

    What are your chameleons names?

    Coming up with a name for a pet is something I hate doing... I don't know why! I had the same problem with my kids! lol. Once person started singing "Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon" and said I should name him Karma or something. I was joking around and said, nope... Bob wouldn't...

    not ready to "get it on" yet?

    I would have to recommend waiting on breeding until the female is at least a year old. If she is only 7-8 months old then she is still growing and when you mate, the calcium will be split between the eggs and growing and you run a greater risk of the female having complications. Just my 2 cents

    what is the best one?

    I don't know that there is a "Best" when it comes to a basking lamp. Just using a 50-75 watt spot light will do the trick. You want to have visible light and adjust it so that it is in the correct range of temp for an adult veiled then the 85-92 or so mark is good. The "night light" or...

    Vitamin A dosage?

    What kind of issues are you talking about? Chams don't shed all parts at once (but should shed everything within a day or so). How old/big is the cham? If the cham is large and healthy enough you can also try giving him/her a shower. That should help to hydrate along with helping to...

    Soon-To-Be Veiled Chameleon Owner - Few Questions!?

    I don't think that hunting will be a big problem in that size aquarium. Crix will typically migrate to the heat source just like the cham (visible light) so hopefully that will help. Just try and make sure that none are still in there at night to avoid the cham getting munched on (or leave...

    Photos of Bob all fired up

    I was going to clean Bob's cage and tried to get him out of it. Bob is one of those veiled chams that loves to be touched as you can tell! (Ok, just a bit of sarcasm there). Anyway, I haven't seen him all fired up in a bit and loved the new colors! Hope you like them too!

    4 month old veiled

    I agree with the size. You are probably looking for at least a 24x24x36 cage. Keep the 5.0 long bulb, that is good Keep the 50-75 watt bright light heat bulb (so that the basking temp is correct) - Chams need a visible light to look for in basking Drop the night light (not needed, no heat...

    Latest pictures of Bob

    So, I feel like adding to the family album! Do any of you feel like grandparents showing off your latest cute grandkid photos? So, Bob is just around 6 months old. He is full of spit and vinager, like a lot of other veileds. The first picture actually is facing the wrong angle. When...

    long awaited pictures of my baby cham and his cage

    If you click on the picture they will open up into a new window that is larger, so don't worry about that. The others are showing as invalid links. Check the links again and see if they were put in incorrectly on accident (or if the pictures are missing).

    Pictures of my melleri and their home

    Any chance you can do a closeup of your automated misting system? Specifically the nozzles and the timer? I don't like my setup now and want to put in a different system running off the household water but haven't figured out the best way to do this yet... where to put in the reducers, or...

    Breeding and vege cham

    Different chams will grow differently. Chams are mostly, if not fully grown by a year of age, even if at different lengths. When you say a foot, are you talking nose to tip of tail or nose to vent? I assume including the tail... I have never heard of having difficulty finding breeding...

    Our little acrobat keeps falling

    Also, does she have all her toenails? If any are missing from the screen or anything that can lead to additional falls.
