I was worried it could be stress. Since coming back from the vet I’ve been misting his tank a bit more to help with his hydration, and he’s scared of water which is why he struggles with drinking as much as he should anyway 😭
Hi! My veiled chameleon has been chewing his tail the past two days & I’m trying to get to the bottom of why. He’s been to the vet less than 2 weeks a go for a different problem which was sorted. He had sperm stuck inside his hemipene, he had it squeezed out, flushed out with iodine & then was...
I’ve noticed yesterday that my chameleon has this sticking out of his butt. I thought it was poop at first so I have been spraying his butt to help him shift it, but after reading other posts on the forum I am worried it is a prolapsed hemipene (as he is in heat atm/humping everything). I keep...
Hahaha, well... he used to come out to explore. My baby isn't innocent anymore 🥺
Yeah, I was thinking maybe something like this is happening. I'll just have to keep an eye on him!
My veiled chameleon is just a little over two years old, and over the past year he has became sexually mature (humping my hand a lot lol). Recently he has been A LOT more horny than usual, I handle him all the time because he loves being out and exploring but the second I handle him he will...
A bit of a weird question but I was wondering whether chameleons can tear their anus and develop a fissure after pooping? A few weeks a go, my male veiled chameleon didn’t go to the toilet for a few days (which is unusual for him) and then I found the biggest poop EVER in his tank. It was a...
My veiled is roughly a year and a half old, and he’s suddenly just started to try to have his way with me. It’s pretty hilarious, but it’s starting to happen every time I have him out. He’s a chameleon who loves to come out and be social, he’ll run down his branches when you walk past his tank...
Hi guys,
My little dude has the Exo Terra large dripper plant. I got it because before that he would only drink if I gave it him by hand and dripped it from a misting bottle lol. However, ever since I have got the dripper plant rather than licking the droplets he will chomp down on the leaves...
This is really good advice. Thank you :) Will definitely start making some changes! As for the substrate, it does help keep the humidity high and he has grabbed it a few times but has spat it out. Anything else you recommend, carpet maybe? Or just leave it?
He has a screw in UVB bulb, it was...
