Here's a fan of the XL Reptibreeze - had my year old male Veiled in it now for about 6 weeks and he is absolutely thriving and seems to be really chilled and happy. I find it easy to clean, and it looks good as well (its in my lounge, and sits in well with my furniture.) I know that...

Wow!! Garrett I am in awe, you have done an amazing job!! Lots of kudos to you.

Off topic Fester, but I adore your Avatar.... what a great picture.

The picture that you have posted looks to be the base of his tail, rather than his vent. Does he seem uncomfortable, is he rubbing it on branches/vines? Did it just appear or come on gradually?

How old is your chameleon? The reason that I ask if he/she is young, then they need a basking temp lower than that for an adult. Species plays a part in this as well, as different species, such as Jacksons Chameleons, need slightly different temps to something like a Veiled.

Hi, sorry this has happened. Ideally, there should be nothing on the floor of your cage, apart from maybe some paper towels to catch any water. Any substrate, be it repti-carpet or mulch/dirt is bad for chameleons, as if they do ingest it, it can cause impaction. My advice would be to...

Thanks Bunny. She's not a stranger, I work with her but she's in a different team to me - so I don't know her as well as I do some others. We have spoken before when using the communal kitchen, but not in any great depth. With hindsight, I should have kept my trap shut, its one of my...

Nice set up - all you need are more horizontal branches, vines, so that your chameleon can move easily all over his enclosure.

You are entitled to your opinion, of course, however in my own defence as to what I said to my work colleague - I am a naturally chatty and effusive person. Maybe I did overstep the mark and give her too much information, however, I have had similar conversations with other work colleagues...

Mine are willow sticks, bought from a local garden centre and then washed and disinfected before cutting down to size. Thumbtacks work brilliantly, you just push them through into the sticks from the outside of the cage, through the mesh. Once you have a lot in there, it becomes easier to add...

I was talking to a work colleague today at lunch... don't know her particularly well but we were chatting whilst we shared a table at lunchtime. she asked me what I would be doing tomorrow. This is how the conversation went, more or less.... Me - "well, I'll get up at around 7am, turn...

Viv, he is stunning!!

Super!! That was the last thing that I wanted to do. Kudos to you, BTW, for keeping all those Chameleons!! I have my work cut out with just two!!:D

I have had both my adult Veiled and my 4 month old Panther to the vet recently. I use one of the keeper tanks that my feeders live in, which is about the size of a large goldfish bowl, but oval in shape, with a lid etc. I put an old towel on the bottom of the tank, with some paper towels...

That's great and obviously works for you, I appreciate that, but I designed my cage so at the bottom there is room for me to remove the water container every day without issue. There are lots of options available to people, all I was saying in my post was that you need to try something to...

What you need to aim for in a cage is TALL. Chams are arboreal, so something like the setup that you have now will be stressing him out, as he can't get high enough to feel comfortable at all. They feel very vulnerable when they see things that are higher than themselves. An XL...

Betzjen - honestly no disrespect, but what is wrong with emptying a bowl of water every day? Just make it part of your routine. I have a large plastic container in the bottom of my cage, underneath the plants that my dripper drips on. The container is encased in a sheer, nylon stocking, so...

This is Ziggy - he's a year old.

Hi and welcome to the wonderful and addictive world of chameleons! You do need much more in there, about 90 percent of the space should be filled really. Here is a pic of my setup to give you an idea of what I mean.... I have the same sized cage as you.

Super photo!
