One of my male veileds will shed a line of skin along his spine inbetween almost every shed. This spot also sheds with his normal shed and everything comes off cleanly. I have no idea why they do this though :)

Female veiled chameleons can become gravid and lay eggs even if they have never so much as been in the same room as male in their whole life. They will produce and lay unfertile eggs. If they are not provided with a proper laying container, they won't lay their eggs and will eventually die...

If you keep interrupting her she eventually will stop trying to lay her eggs.. become eggbound and either need surgery or die. Go somewhere if you have to. You shouldn't have to keep adding water, though I would mist her the same as you normally would.. just try to stay out of her line of...

The calcium with D3 you only need occasionally.. I only use it bi-weekly since my chams get outside time a few times a week in addition to their UVB lights in the cages. A pure calcium with no D3 and phosphorus can be used 4 or 5 times a week.. pretty much every feeding skipping one...

I also wouldn't mist the cage just as the lights are going out. I like to mist mine around 2 hours after the lights come on so my chameleons have a chance to warm up before I soak everything and then again in the afternoon. If the cage doesn't have a chance to dry between mistings and...

Poor Cyrus! This guy must be tough cause he has sure been through a bunch! He is a beautiful boy though :) In force feeding a few sick chameleons I have noticed that sometimes their tongue will poke out when you pull down on the gular. When you have their mouth open, if you touch the gular...

Yep.. i agree with Julirs. Look up high in your room.. curtain rods, dresser tops, hanging clothes.. I found my panther on the shower curtain rod once. Just be careful where you step until you find him. Try just sittting still in the room you lost him in for awhile.. you may see him moving...

Here is a good example of what a gravid veiled female looks like from the Kammerflage website. Please note though that they do not always show this gravid coloration, sometimes when they are carrying infertile eggs they will stay pretty much their normal colors. The laying container is...

This is just coconut fiber. It works pretty well and holds moisture without getting too soggy.

I sure hope so cause that is what I used for mine. I could only find it in big pellets so I put it in a big ziploc bag and pounded on it with a mallet for a while ;)

This is one of my new babies.. he is about three months old. I was letting him climb around the top of his cage while I cleaned it out. He held this pose for like 5 minutes.. long enough for me to go get my camera and snap a few pics! He is so adorable.

Here is my favorite male veiled.. 3 months old 6 months old 9 months old Now (17 months old)

I bought mine at a nursery in a 2 pound brick. You soak it in water and it expands to like 5 times it's compacted size. I believe mine was ground. It didn't look shredded. It shouldn't be too hard to find. I have also seen it in pet stores around here and I live...

Northern Kentucky.. just outside of Cincinnati

For mine I used coconut fiber over top of organic, perlite free potting soil. The coconut fiber doesn't get soupy when it is wet but still holds enough moisture to help with humidity and for the females to dig in if they are gravid.

When chameleons are sleeping, nothing is affecting their coloration so they appear very pale. When they are awake they change their coloration because of mood, temperature regulation.. any number of factors. The darker coloration during the day could indeed mean stress, but that isn't the...

The walmart where i live carries waxworms in the sports section buy the fishing stuff.. try somewhere like that.

I am not going to make a guess of whether or not she has eggs, but anytime that I suspect any of mine are gravid, I treat them as if they are. I would definitely put an egg laying container in the cage for her just in case. Make sure that it is big enough for her to have a few inches on all...

Does the coloring look the same on either side of his mouth? Does the inside of his mouth look healthy (no swelling, redness or visible tumors?)

Are you sure she is only 4 months old? She looks pretty big for 4 months. If indeed this is an accurate age, breeding at 4 months isn't healthy for the chameleon at all. In fact, I would be surprised if they successfully bred at all at that age. Did you witness the actual act? It puts a...
