Perhaps also ask what kind of supplements he has been using and what kind of misting method he was using.

I just wanted to point out that he definately doesn't look like a "baby" veiled. I would be guessing at least 7 months old or older. He looks pretty good to me as well, and the eyes don't look too bad. Keep up the misting and things should peak up. He is probably brown because of all the...

I personally would add in more hwy's in there (walking paths) with vines, or something, it didn't look like some of those plants would provide the stability needed for walking from one plant to another without going to the bottom... then again it is only a picture!

If you want it to be more natural then I think most of the people would recommend adding more live plants. In the wild Chams stay in the tops of the trees all the time so they aren't used to having anything under them anyway. Someone on here put it very clearly a short time ago...

It can take several days/weeks for a cham to become accustomed to a new home. In the wild they live alone and when you put them in a new place that are worried that there may be other chams around. After a while they become used to the space around them and will be more active. I wouldn't...

Is it possible to over do it? I don't have any first hand experience with Jackson's, but from what I've read they require a high level of humidity. I would recommend at least 3 mistings a day for at least 5 minutes each. Others will also tell you up to 10-15 mintues each but I think...

The good news is that it does sound like you are doing enough misting. Many people don't know just how much needs to be done to promote good health for the animals. You are also now learning the way that I did... I needed a better method to drain the water out of the cage. I never knew just...

Ok, I haven't done a video before (ever) and wanted to try one out. What a better way that to do one of your kid!! Well, the chameleon costs as much as one... So, I have a video of my home-made watering system. As you will here in the background I have someone manually controlling it...

In FL it is illegal to ship in non-native roaches. I never found out if Dubia are part of that or not because I gave up on raising roaches (I went with silk worms instead to appease the girlfriend who didn't fall for "papaya flower beetles")

I don't do it, but those I've seen run a tap from their hot water line by the facet or washing machine over to the cage. Until I set up a really big cage I'm just going to keep my pond pump and 5 gallon bucket.

Chameleons do like to live by themselves, but will get together when that "urge" hits. This should be judged more by the female than the male. Hold the female outside the cage where she can see the male and the male can see her. If she continues to show reseptive colors and he shows bright...

You can also get: Pheonix worms (they are pretty small) and small wax worms. I would hold off on any silk worms for now because they grow sooooo fast (learning that now).

Something else I haven't seen mentioned, please make sure you don't rotate the eggs when you put them in the new container. I don't know how many days it takes, but the eggs will settle in eventually and HAVE TO be kept with the same side pointing up from that point until they hatch. You...

20-30 minutes is a good time range.

Chameleons are very good at surviving in the wild, that is what they have evolved to do. It is a lot more difficult for humans to keep wild animals and replicate their environments and have them survive than it is for them to get along great. Think of it this way... humans have also tried a...

I've not done this but I've read up so perhaps I can answer some of the questions. How hot? It should be warm water. Something that would prevent you from getting a chill but not really hot. On what? Everyone I've seen will put a potted plant in this the cham. The leave will help to...

Chameleons look for a basking spot based on visible light. The ceramic heat spot won't get their attention, plus she may try and climb on it and that would cause a LOT of damage to her feet from the heat. I would ditch the ceramic heater and get a heat bulb that is in a reflective dome and...

You can also think about adding other things for your cham to munch on instead of the ficus leaves. Mine hasn't gotten big enough to start that yet (that I've seen) so I don't readily know what kinds of veggies chams like.

I would get a bucket in there right away as well. Note: they won't dig if they see you because they will think you are a predator and will eat their eggs. Search the forums for the best ways to provide a place to lay. 7 months is really young to try and breed. You need to be sure you are...

First, you are right, he is well over 3 months old. To my un-trained eye I would guess 5-7 months old... possibly older with that coloring coming through and the size of his veil. How much ventalation do you have in that cage? It lookes like the type with all solid walls and only vent...
