I do hand feed every so often when he is up for it

when they bite how bad does it hurt btw just in case it happens

thanks I was thinking that not backing off was best. I know with my beardies when you are taming them you put a piece of food in their mouth when they show aggression

The other day I was trying to put my veiled back in his cage he would hiss at me. When he hisses should I back off or should I not react to show him im the boss.

ok thanks for the info I know not to freak out as much. I did a little reading after I posted and read about the puffing up as they fall. 2 hours later and he seems to be fine, just a little stressed over that adventure and the new parts to his cage. As far as calcium he has plenty of it and uvb...

Hello, I was tending to his cage to add some more vines. He was doing ok until something spooked him and he fell out of the cage bounced off of the back of the couch and then the carpet. As soon as he hit the ground I was about to call a local vet thinking he broke something. But as soon as he...

Btw here are a few pics I took while he was out. sorry for quality I only had my phone on hand At the edge of the couch in front the cage He found the fake plant stand. and no it did not fall I went over and made sure of that Back in his cage today puffed up for some reason he usually...

Thanks for the cage advise im heading out today to see if I can find some vines or branches and I may get a fake plant for him to climb on when I open his cage. He seems to be looking at the plant he climbed on from his cage ever since I let him out. If I can let him out I can have a less...

its a boy. ill have to try the free ranging more often. But I don't want him to think he owns the house and hisses at me about everything, hes kind of moody and territorial but does eat from my hand from time to time.

I want to get more vines but i don't have a lot of choice when it comes to my pet supplies. I only have 2 pet stores but neither carry a whole lot of reptile items. I do have a reptile show coming in early October.

I have thought about free ranging him a lot in the past month. I bought a condo that is reptile safe. I let my beardies roam from time to time. Any advise on a free range set up would be great.

his viv temps are under his light on his perch were 85 according to the laser temp gun. I did lower his stick while he was out. He never stays on the ground The few times I see him on the floor he is always moving like hes looking for crickets. The old tree had a lot of leaves fall off and the...

I left my cage open today to see if he will have any interest in exploring. I went back to his cage and looked for 5 mins in his tree and got startled to see him at the end of my couch by his cage. So I did a little rearranging in his cage and about 5 mins later he was gone and I was startled...

Hello, Lately my male veiled seems to be in odd places in his cage. By odd places I mean roaming the cage floor every so often. (I over reacted the first few times I seen him walking around on the floor thinking he fell but I never heared a thump and he seems to not be hurt). I see him climbing...

I have looked over the forums and a few google searches. I cant seem to get an answer that satisfies me. I own a mvb in my supply box, but I cant figure out if I should actually use it. I see it on some websites saying that they are good and will provide a good uvb output. I have not seen...

Hello, I have had my 1st chameleon for going on 3 months and he is doing fine. I mist his cage a few times a day. I try not to spray him directly, but he tends to flash me some colors and puff up slightly before going into the leaves. Is there a polite way to mist his cage without angering him...

I put a stick that is further from the light he seems to be better off with that. its at an angle so he can get as close to the light as he needs.

Hello. My veiled chameleon seems to be hanging upside down with his tail balled up under the heat lam. It is a 40w basking light. Will he burn his tail. The temp under the lamp is about 90 degrees st the leaves. Should I get a stronger lamp. I know hes getting the heat to digest I clean his...

How do you free range a chameleon. I am moving to a safer house all around.(out of an ancient house in the ghetto and into a decent apartment with less room to hide and better indoor climate) Maybe that will help his temperament.

So my veiled has split personality. When hes in his cage he hisses and bites at me to the point of not handling him. But when I take his tree out of the cage with him on it to clean his cage he seems to grab onto my hand and climb on my arm to put him back in the cage. It is a male and I know...
