    new veiled chameleon owner and potential health issues

    I'm so sorry. That has to be really hard. You're doing all you can for him and you're keeping your Cham comfortable which is all that matters. Thank you so much for sharing with us.♥️♥️♥️ I'm taking my bud to the vet this month to see what's going on.

    new veiled chameleon owner and potential health issues

    How is your buddy doing now? I'm having the same issues with tongue use and I think he was probably only on a multivitamin with D3 before I got him so I'm going to give him a break and only do calcium for a few weeks. Mine has been eating but when he does he gets as close as he can to the bug...

    Heat emitter

    Yes I totally agree! :) The thermostat I use has a probe and I have another/different digital thermometer similar to the one you linked also set up in the basking area! Thank you for the links, I definitely think the temp gun should not be used as the sole way to measure how hot it is in the...

    Heat emitter

    Yes! It’s amazing for keeping the temp low because it will turn off/stop heating up once it reaches the set temperature :) I also recommend getting a temperature gun if you don’t already have one, the one recommended in the Snake Discovery video is amazing. It’s about $30 but 100% worth it.

    Heat emitter

    I use a 100 watt ceramic heat emitter with a jumpstart thermostat and it’s been working amazing! I’ve heard ceramic heat emitters can get too hot without a dimmer or thermostat so I wouldn’t recommend getting one without a way to control the temperature. The jumpstart has been so great, you can...

    Not using tongue to eat/poor aim

    Thank you, I’ll definitely take a look at your blog! We will be taking him to the vet soon so it would be ideal to get him ok with us holding him for that trip. I appreciate all the feedback and resources! I’ll keep everyone updated on his weight loss journey and health. ❤️

    Not using tongue to eat/poor aim

    Wow this is really helpful thank you!! I’ll make sure he gets a good misting before the heat turns on, and I appreciate the solar meter recommendation. Will get one of those asap just to be safe. He doesn’t really let us hold him but we can also haven’t tried. So far he lets us get close to feed...

    Not using tongue to eat/poor aim

    We are feeding him every other day (2-3 feeders) but thank you so much for your feedback— we will be cutting down to only 3 days a week!! We will be gut loading with more leafy greens too we’ve definitely been lacking. Yeah, I’m thinking I could possibly return it and grab another solar meter...

    Not using tongue to eat/poor aim

    Oh my goodness thank you so much for all this amazing feedback! It’s good to know he doesn’t need any additional vitamin A, I didn’t wanna go overboard with the supplements. I got the solar meter off Amazon and I got the recommendation from a top 10 solar meters of the year type thing! I will...

    Not using tongue to eat/poor aim

    Thanks so much for replying, we just got our dehumidifier this week so we will be able to keep it down under 50%. And yeah I’ve heard the red light can be bad for them, he was most likely under those lights since he was a baby until two weeks ago :( I’m gonna do some more research.

    Not using tongue to eat/poor aim

    Also-- The wildest thing happened today, I was trying to make it easier for him to catch a dubia roach while feeding so I flipped it on its back...(I've heard chams love it) and when he dipped his face into the cup he came out with it on his cheek!!!!! 👁👄👁 I was absolutely shook. I was trying...

    Not using tongue to eat/poor aim

    Current Problem -(1.) So the main thing I'm concerned about is his poor aim and lack of tongue use. I've definitely seen him extend his tongue-- 2nd day with us he tried to catch a cricket in the far top right of his enclosure but unfortunately missed. He's been drinking water with it, and (2.)...
