    Skinny chameleons (ribs)

    Hi guys, (I wrote this topic this morning, but I've added some information about my chameleon and his terrarium. Sorry for not doing that earlier!) I just checked the temperature in Thomas's flexarium, and I noticed that his ribs were kind of sticking out and that he has a little lump on the...

    Hi everyone, I'm new here

    I had already posted an emergency question earlier today, but I think it's still good to introduce myself. My name is Zinzy, and together with my fiancé I have a six-month-old veiled chameleon named Thomas. We only got him yesterday. I had been thinking of getting a chameleon for a few years...

    No basking light? HELP!

    No basking light? HELP!

    Thanks for the tip! I feel that the UVA light isn't getting warm enough, in fact, is doesn't go anywhere above room temperature. Do you think it is still okay to use the basking light at an appropriate distance? What temperatures do you use?

    No basking light? HELP!

    Hi everyone! I am new here, and bought a 6-month-old male Jemen chameleon yesterday. For as long as I can remember I was under the impression that a chameleon needed a basking light because it couldn't regulate its own temperature. Yesterday, when purchasing the chameleon and all the...
