Ahh thats cool no worries.
Cheers guys!
He's in a fully mesh/ wire cage (Exoterra 'Flexarium'). I got in a bit late today and saw to my desire he was colourful. Could it be because the basking and UV lamp where on about an hour and a half longer?
Cheers

Hey,
I'm just wondering first, whts up with my Chameleon? He was bright green and yellow in the shop and was really friendly, now he usually stays a dark green/ brown colour, and hates my hand in his tank (cleaning etc.)
Also, I read in 'The Chameleon Handbook' that male Veileds can quite...
Thank you Will. I shall take that into account, and also I will say on here what the Vet says.
Chamgirl, yep very bad shame :( Such a cool dude.
Cheers,
Ash
Went to the shop today, got him a bulb which I studied for a while making sure it was the right one.
I also got him 2 more vines and another fake plant.
Came back this evening and he was sat in the middle of the viv, brightly green coloured :) So he's not hiding and has his colour back. I'll...
Thank you Cherron, I understand that.
All good advice from everyone, thank you :D
His basking spot temp is aroun 90F, lower down the tank is down to 70F. Humidity is 70.
I'm off to work now, but going to the shop after to grab my bulb.
Thank you again
Ash
Ok cool, I'll try pick one up tommorow. Are they like fish tank flouro's? I.e same starter?
Just I have a few spare starters. Whats the name of them? and 5.0 right?
Ash
Thanks very much, I've read alot about gut loading etc. and have a printed off list of items to feed the crickets and the right supplements use!
I'm just worried about my bulb now.. it's a Exo-Terra 40W Sun-Glo. It says it produces UVA light. Do I need UVb?
Thank you
Ash
Ok thank you.
Well the viv is actually 38"h, and 16.5" back and wide.
I am using supplements. The crickets/ locust are feeding on carrot and watercress, and with a reptavite (sp?) cricket food. I have calcium dusting powder aswell, which i will sprinkle on twice a week.
He was in a viv alot...
Hey all
As some of you know my recently purchased Fischers Chameleon died on Wednesday. He was still under a guarantee, so I took him back to the pet shop and got a Large male Veiled Chameleon given to me. He's about 8inch from snout to the beginning of his tail.
He's had no problems so far...
Thing is he didnt show any signs of distress. He was the same colour all the time as he was in the picture, he was eating everyday, and was drinking!
Thank you all
Ash
Yeah he got this guy and a veiled. He's going to speak to the supplier and ask whats going on, saying he won't use them again.
My new Veiled is in a full mesh enclosure, 38" x 15" x 15". I shall get some pictures later, after he's de-stressed :)
Ash
I'm sorry to say this guy passed away already.
The guy at the pet store has given it to a vet to have a look out and find the cause of the death. There was no noticeable signs visually as to why he died, he looked perfectly healthy.
The Owner said it was from a new supplier, and said he...
Hey all,
Just thought I'd show my face and say hey! I'm Ash, I'm 20 and from the UK. I'm an avid piranha keeper, I have 7 aquariums, each with piranha in!
I've been fascinated by Chameleons everytime I went to the pet shop. I've finally taken the plunge in to reading articles upon articles...
Hey, I'm new here :)
I got my first Chameleon last week, a Fishcers Chameleon to be precise! He's a bit shy around me and will only eat when I've stepped back a good 10ft!
