In my experience chameleons seem to have a bit of a tough time gripping pvc, especially wet pvc. I would remove it and replace them with wooden dowels.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but all of these questions you have, have been asked and answered dozens of times on this forum. I would suggest you take the time to read through, not only will you answer all of your own questions, but you will probably also get the answers to questions you...

I would put the adults up top for sure. They like being higher, and since the babies require a smaller enclosure, it would lift the adults to a nice comfortable height but still fit under the standard 8ft tall ceilings. It will be your preference ultimately. Be sure to post pics when you have...

You should put up a visual barrier between all your chameleons, if you choose to keep them in the same room and not do this, you will likely cause a good deal of stress on your animals. You have to remember that these are solitary animals. Male or female it really makes no difference. A female...

I would strongly advise against ever leaving your chameleons caged together unattended, it could literally take seconds and one of your chameleons could be seriously injured or killed. I would suggest setting up a 3rd "neutral" enclosure with minimal foliage. If a breeding is going to take...

Are you set on wanting a glass cage? My advice would be to forget the glass idea, get a nice large screen enclosure. You will have excellent ventilation, it will be a whole lot cheaper to purchase, and a lot lighter to move around.

Although I have never personally ordered from him (Greg, I believe his name is) is a very respected builder of all sorts of custom enclosures and racking systems, he travels to shows relatively frequently, and I have never heard of a single negative comment made about him. If you do a search on...

Although I have heard of males as young as 4-5 months receptive to breeding, I believe most people have success with males that are at least 7 months of ages as a minimum, this usually gives them enough time to grow, and not be completely dwarfed in size by the mature female! Good luck with your...

I think overall this is a bad idea. No matter how well you think you know this other person you are getting the male from, there is no way you can be sure of their husbandry and care of the chameleon they will be studding with. This chameleon could be sick or extremely aggressive and hurt your...

Congrats on the expected clutch! Although I think your Waiting List is a little premature. Most people who are in the market for a chameleon probably aren't interested in waiting so long. Between waiting for them to be laid, the incubation period and then keeping them for 2-3 months to be sure...

To hear the splash? lol

I agree with Solid Snake, I think it would look much nicer painted. The workmanship is really nice, and well thought out, but that material (looks to me like cheap osb board), really takes away from the finished product. A nice dark stain in my opinion would bring the whole thing together, and...

Just echoing everyone else, chams fall...I think it's happened to just about every person who has ever kept one. Also no injuries for me, although a few have looked a little stunned after, they usually go about their business like nothing happened!

Oh Katrina, I wasn't judging your decision to purchase...we've all had the heart strings tugged on by these little guys from time to time, I was more speaking as to the ethics of the breeder, I have never heard of someone selling chameleons at less than a week old....usually I hear about 5 or 6...

I think if you want to feed your guy a "wormy worm" you are better off not feeding waxworms, they are completely useless nutritionally and also have a risk of impaction. You are far better off using silkworms or hornworms, if you have a place where those are available to you!

People were actually there selling chameleons that were less than 1 week old?! That's ridiculous....Good luck with your new pick up, I hope it works out well for you :)

You should definitely add other feeders to your crickets diet, not only will they enjoy it, but it will also benefit his health as well. Hornworms and Silkworms are very good feeders. Also the amount you feed sounds fine, as chameleons become adults they eat far less than when they were babies...

Placing an ad in the wanted section might get you some better results. You might also try looking online to purchase a male veiled of your own, I'm not sure of the current availability but generally veiled's are plentiful across the internet! Good luck :)

What a great story, I'm glad to hear you found him before the weather turns colder!

Very nice! I love the nice blue be's....he will make a very nice breeder, should you choose to go that direction!
