I have a fake 6 foot ficus tree in his enclosure, he can climb all up and down. Also two vines and a pothos plant. I don't know how to get the rest of his cage to the mid to upper 70's. without switching 60 watt to a higher wattage, but then he was too hot. However, the bulb i was using was a...

Switched the light bulb out for a lower wattage. He has only sat with his mouth open once and that was right under the basking bulb. However, now the cage seems to cool. Basking is around 80-85, depending on where you shoot the temp gun, but the rest is low 70's and as you move down the...

Thanks for all responses. I changed the bulb out this a.m. Hopefully that will fix the problem. Now that I think about it, I do believe that is when he started doing the mouth thing, when I upped the watts. We'll see if the lower watts works.

I will switch back to the original bulb i was using. Here's what caused me to buy a bigger watt bulb and get the higher temps. During my research, I read that the younger veileds need the lower basking temps, but that the older veileds need higher basking. Mine is 11 months maybe 12, person i...

Okay. I will check it out tomorrow and lower the temps. The temps i had searched were as follows, 90-100 basking and 72-80 ambient. 68 or even lower at night. Mine gets to 65 at night. My cage temps are from 68 on up to the 95-100 basking. Probably lower then 68 towards the very bottom of cage...

No signs or noise of any kind. Everything seems fine except the open mouth. It's not all the time, but has been since I have been feeding the hornworms. However, he didn't get any hornworms yesterday and only got some later in the day today.

I thought that was it too. The only thing is, on the side he does the open mouth is not that hot, it's in the low 80's and even 75. I have a temp gun and two thermometers. He also has the other side of the tree he could go that is even lower. Could the UVB light have anything to do with it? His...

My 11 month male veiled Cham sits in front of the 5.0 UVB bulb with his mouth open. Not gasping, not opened all the way, no drooling, no discharge, no noises. Humidity is 50-70 lower at night. Temps, 65 on up to 85 and basking 95-100. Does not look dehydrated. Eats good, crickets, horned worms...

What a great sign to tell you, you are doing the right thing and doing it right. Ya, happy days.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY:D Hope it's a good one.

I am so sorry for you. I know how hard it is to not know if you should keep going, or let them go. I have had to do it a couple times with our four legged fury dog family members. It so really, really sucks. Good luck at the vets. I so hope you get the answer your looking for. Best thoughts...

I just received my order from them last week. Two cups, each with a different size horn worm and then I ordered the egg cup/kit, to try hatching my own. I only wish they had enclosed written instructions for hatching the eggs, as I had to make their food myself. Never done it before. However...

Yes, please tell him for me too. We really do appreciate not only what he does for this country, but what the family at home goes through. Bless them, you and America. BTW, your Cham is really a looker. I like his frown face, poor fella, having to itch every month:D

So sorry for your loss:(

How is it that these babies are out in the wilds of California? Has so many people let them loose that they now roam free there like the iguanas in Florida? In fact I think Florida have veileds that roam wild also.

Glad you will be keeping your pets. Hope it all works out really well for you. :)

My male 11 month old veiled is in a 2x2x6 foot cage. This is where he will stay, until he has been with me for some time. Then I will open it for some free ranging. The top of his cage has a basking bulb and a UVB 5.0 light. There is a 6 foot fake tree, some fake leafed vines and a climbing...

Hello and Welcome. I just got my male veiled chameleon last Wednesday. Mine is 11 months old. Not my first, but my first in quite a few years. I also made mine his own enclosure. Actually I will be free ranging him, once he gets accustomed to his cage being his home base.:D

Never mind. I found it in my notes. I thought I had read it before but couldn't find where I had seen it. Need to file my notes better:D

Morning about an half hour to an hour after lights on, or early afternoon? I feed my other lizard, a Uro and my tortoise in the am so they can eat all day, if they don't eat it all at once. Should I do the same for my veiled? Thanks
