Well my veiled chameleon arrived this morning. Dom is a 4 month old male, that I received from FlChams. He looks great and is exploring his new cage. He's been drinking, and he's ate 2 crickets so far. And he already pooped. The poop looked very healthy and it doesn't look like he got too...
I'll be getting a veiled chameleon from FlChams.... Very good assumption Jay. I was at Wal-Mart tonight and saw the fern so I bought it. Maybe I'll look around at Home Depot or the nursery to see if I can find a nice ficus tree for my cage.
The only problem is that my cage is setting on my dresser and its only 6-8 inches away from my ceiling so I can't really raise it up any higher. But I'll have to check out the drainage ideas. Thanks
Edit: I don't have a humidity meter.
I have a live Boston Fern in there. FLChams says that the Boston Fern is a safe plant http://flchams.com/safe_plant_list.asp
I've been watching the temperatures and they've been steady around 83-84 degrees for his basking spot. That dish in the bottom is to catch the water from my dripper...
Well I finally got my cage setup and I think I'm ready to get my chameleon. I'm open to suggestions.
Here's my setup:
18x18x36 Cage
Zoo Med Digital Thermometer
ReptiSun 5.0 UVB
Sun Glo 60 Watt
Repti Calcium W/D3
Reptivite W/D3
Homemade Dripper

Welcome to the site. Research, research, research! Veiled chameleon's are great for first time owners. I'll be getting my first chameleon(veiled) at the end of this week. This site is great to find information and ask questions.
Well early this week I will be getting my cage, and then I'll pick up my veiled chameleon. The only problem I seem to have at the moment is picking out a name. I kind of like the names: Bud, Malachi, Dominion. But I just can't decide. I was wondering if any of you guys could give me some...
I was wondering how people made their own drippers? I don't really have a lot of money, I just bought a cage, and all the supply's but I didn't buy a dripper. My question is can I make a dripper from a waterbottle or a gatorade bottle?
I too am going to be a first time chameleon owner. I've been looking at cages online, and I came across this package. It's a little more expensive than the others, but it comes with a lot of essentials. Just wondered what people thought of this package. Its the medium package. Sorry I don't want...
Thanks for the links. For cages do I need to start off with a smaller cage, and then get a bigger one when my chameleon grows? Or will a baby veiled be fine in a large cage?
Hello everyone my name is Mike and I'm in the process of buying my first chameleon. I was doing some research and stumbled upon this site. I'm thinking about buying a veiled or a jackson. But I really need some input on what kind of cage to buy, plants etc... Any information and insight would...
