I agree with Julis, it's more likely that it's a WC not CB. And try a 40w house hold bulb instead of that red one. I would also do a live plant in the enclosure. A pothos will work well.
I know they are very loving but handling them every day is not a good idea. I have no choice but to...
I keep my female veiled at about 80-83 degrees at her basking spot and she is 7 months old. She has not laid any eggs nor shown any signs of being gravid.
You named your chameleon after me? Aww how sweet of you! LOL JK
And you bought reptibreezes at PetSmart for $7? What size? The one here only has the small ones and they are $65.
Wow the Avicularia Versicolor have some amazing colors but let me guess they are the ones who throw feces lol?
I'm not looking for something I can get out and play with per say but be able to handle enough to do cage cleanings, health checks, ect...
I've never handled one so the thought of...
Thank you so much for the info Hun! Have you ever been bite by one? What would you recommend as a beginner that has an usual color? That's what attracted me to this one.

He's on Baytril now, today was day 6 of 10. And yah I know it sounds like a URI. This poor little guy has been through hell and is still hanging on. I'm going to clean his lip with a q-tip and just some water. The vet I took him to which is an exotic animal vet had no clue about chams. I had to...
Some bad news :(
Today when I went to feed him I noticed the front of his mouth looked a little funny. I pulled his bottom lip down and it appears he has mouth rot. His lip has almost no elasticity to it on the bottom front and it's really dark. On top of that I caught him doing some open mouth...
Wow that's crazy. My male is the shyest cham I have ever seen. He's never even puffed up at me or the other chams. I can open his mouth easily but he has never hissed or anything. He is nothing like my Veiled, more like my Senegal just shyer. My Senegal will gladly climb right out on your hand...
