Thanks. I knew I probably didn't have anything to worry about, but better safe than sorry. Oh! I found some poop also on a leaf, normal but dried. Phew!

Chameleon Info: * Your Chameleon - Veiled chameleon, male, 5 months of age. I've had him only for a couple of days. * Handling - I've only taken him from the transport box, otherwise no handling. * Feeding - Well gutloaded crickets, dubias, supers, mealworms etc. twice a day with...

By the way, could someone tell me how often young chameleons like mine (5 months) should poop? When should I be worried? I haven't been able to find any feces from the terrarium floor, but small cham must have small poop and I could have very easily missed it. I try not to worry, but with a new...

Thanks! We have solved the clear container problem by putting a white plastic plate inside of it. It has sides on it and it helps the cham to find a right place to shoot. You can't see the food from the outside, so he'll automatically shoot from the top. I have pothos, ficus and shefflera...

After a whole year of planing and arranging our little yemen guy is finally here. He arrived saturday evening and already he's brought us tons of joy. He's such a sweatheart and handsome too! He was born in Sweden in february, so he's about 5 months old. He seems healthy in every way, but please...

What kind of chameleon do you have? I built a terrarium recently for a veiled with 3 painted wooden walls, glass doors, wire mesh top and proper ventilation holes on the bottom of both sides. I live in Finland, so no-one even tried to persuade me into making a screen cage. :D I'm far from a...

Amazing enclosure! I love everything psychedelic and it's delightfull to see that your terrarium is original looking. Your design is strong as hell and practical too, I bet. The plant's can't be seen very clearly from the pictures, but I agree on putting some more in later on.

Do you guys really think that it's very likely that my veiled will try to shoot towards the food bowl from wrong angle? I thought I'd give that original cup a try and if it wouldn't work I'd replace or paint the bowl. But if you think that there's no or little chance the bowl will work we will...

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments. Both ivy plants are artificial but the parts are glued extra carefully with aquarium silicone so that cham cant bite them off. I was worried about the lamps heating the mesh ceiling, but the UVB:s dont produce much heat. Heat lamp could warm the...

Thanks! We'll have to see how it works. If our little fella doesn't know how to use the cup we'll make another one. We live in Finland. :)

Dunno, I think we'll have to wait 'till july.

Here's my first almost completely self-made cham terrarium for northern european needs. I think it's finally ready, but please tell if something still needs to be done! We have cold winters here, so we used mesh only for the ceiling. The terrarium is 200 cm = 78.7 in high, 140 cm = 55 in wide...

Thanks! Have you had the chance of reading Practical Reptile Keeping -magazine (Reptile -mag for short)? Reptilia I have read myself and that is number one at my list at the moment.

So what do you do every day, every other day, every week, every month or so, twice a year... to keep your chameleon healthy, happy and well fed, cage clean etc. I think your lists of chores would be very informative for new chameleon owners and those thinking about becoming one. Thanks for your...
