Out of curiosity, how much was that cage?

I want the following, please pm me. UVB Hood 24" (20$) Exoterra Repti-Glo 5.0 UVB Bulb 18" (15$) Dial Hygrometer (4$) Rep Cal Herptivite with Beta Carotene Multivitamin 3.2 oz (8$) Zoo-Med Repti Calcium without Vit D (2$)

I would not suggest using vaseline. I am by no means a cham expert, but I am pretty knowledgeable about vaseline. I am a tattoo artist actually, and many artists use vaseline during the process of tattooing for a few reasons. It cools your skin where open wounds are present, it keeps the area...

I bought my veiled from a Petsmart. I knew nothing about chameleons, I'm afraid but luckily I found this forum the next day so things went well after that. When I bought her, they sold me a ton of stuff which was almost all useless. They had me buy a 10 gallon glass tank, some type of bark...

Somewhere around 5-6 months. Not completely sure. You said "He", I was told this was a "She". Doesnt really have spurs but hard to tell...

My baby... turning yellow lately. Pretty cool.

Yes, she is very small. Here is a picture of her about a week ago. It does seem like she has grown considerably in that week however, lol. I am also attaching a picture of her habitat. This was before I rearranged it added more biovine and changed thermometers/hygrometers, but you get the idea.

Yeah, I guess that is what i am worried about. When I have a laying bin I would hate to see her eat sand. Seriously, who eats sand? C'mon! Anyways, is there something else I can use besides sand?

Now, I was told that I should put in a pot full of sand for egg laying purposes in about a month. Should I be worried about her eating sand when I do this?

The UV light is the long 18" now as I started with the compact and then realized it was not good for her eyes.

https://www.chameleonforums.com/plants/ It says that croton is ok here. This was why I bought it. As for the sand, it is covered now and today she is running around and seems to be doing great. Ate all her food very quick. I dont know what she was doing, but that was odd.

I love this. I just started building one very similar last night. You are very talented.

Ok, to start off here is the info. Cage Info: * Cage Type - Screen terrarium, 18x18.5x24 * Lighting - Using ReptiGlo 5.0 and a 60 watt basking lamp. Turn on at 8am, off at 9pm * Temperature - Basking spot is avg 82-85 degrees, cool spot around 72 degrees. Lowest overnight...

I certainly will, I have called around also but people dont seem to much at all. A couple I have talked with seem to know a little more than the average, but I am not ok with just above average.

Thanks guys, really appreciate all the help!

4 months? That sounds closer to what I expected. The petstore told me closer to 6, however they also told me this was a male... Also to add, I dont have a large. I am a relatively small guy. 5'11" 160 lbs.

Ok, so I have some new pictures... Does this help any?

Yeah, I agree. I have read on multiple sites that the basking temperature should be in the mid to low 80's when they are juvenile. They can be raised a bit higher as they mature, but only if you increase the cage size, which in reality would give you larger gradients in temperature as well. At...

The basking spot is about 83 degrees. The cooleest area is about 72. I think it is a female also, as I cant really see the spur, but I was told it was a male when we bought the chameleon, but it was obvious they new very, very little.

Also anyone know of any good vets in the houston area? Definately dont want to my cham to someone inexperienced. Just figured that was a good idea to take her to the vet just for a check up. I think the chameleon is doing ok, but I am also very new to this.
