I expressed myself incorrectly. I didn't mean to imply they live in a desert environment, but that they come from a drier climate than chameleons from more of a tropical climate. The most important thing is that the OP understands that the humidity should be around a certain percentage.

Humidity with veileds is not something you need to stress about. Personally, I don't think getting humidity to 75 is necessary. Like I said, keep your range between 40-60. It it were to go to 30, it would still be okay but keep it between that range as a rule of thumb. Do mist once or twice a...

Veiled chameleon or a panther chameleon Use the search feature to read up on topics such as supplementation, enclosures, feeding schedule, plants, humidity, temperature ... study! It's very important to know how to handle an care for a chameleon. They require much more dedication and attention...

lol I've been in that predicament before. I appreciate the advice. Thanks :D

Well since Veiled chameleons are a desert species, 60% within your house is more than enough. I keep my humidity ranging between 40-60%. They are a hardy chameleon when being compared to other species.

This sounds like a fantastic alternative! Thanks for the links. So, watering down the milk is suggested. Is this what you do? I'm going to start doing this and monitor my plants for improvements. With Spring in the air, the plants should be waking up from their hibernation and be very hungry :)

Milk? Like 2%? Do you have any info on this? Sounds like a great alternative ...

Honestly, you've been told before that you should move your light futher away. Another option is rearranging your enclosure a bit. People are giving you constructive criticism and are looking out for your chameleons health. You already had your chameleon burned before and you blamed it on a coil...

What wattage are your basking lights? With how you have your vines positioned, you could potentially burn your cham again. I would move that vine down personally.

Okay then .. if you wanna be an ass about it, then let's discuss, shall we? UVB bulbs do NOT give off heat. Do some research. Your cham couldn't have been burned from it. Unless you were using a mercury vapor bulb which is both UVB and heat for basking. But since you've already pointed out...

Say what? lol

Don't stress yourself over it. I use an Exo Terra 2.0 Reptiglo as it has a low UVB output but more importantly, the 6500k I wanted for my plants. It's meant to be used together with a 5.0 or 10.0 UVB light. You don't have to use a light. Another option is switch the plants every now and...

I just have to note that you did admit to blocking the front vent near the bottom where the door lock is located. The purpose of that vent is so the air can enter and be released from the top screen. Because you blocked the lower vent, air was not able to 'flow' through and that could be why...

I can add my two cents in regarding exo terra glass enclosures. I own one. Air flow is SO important and the Exo Terra enclosure works great - you just have to work with it. If you're using coco substrate or organic soil or whatever, you need proper drainage. Brad Ramsey has often suggested to...

I'm glad that this topic was posted. I just bought Miracle Gro last week but haven't used it on my plants just yet. I know you should only feed the soil with the kinds of plants used for chameleons but my concern lies with the chameleon eating the soil and potentially being harmed from the food...

Yay! Congratulations :) Because she is a female, you may want to place a laying bin within her enclosure just in case she may become gravid. Otherwise, her enclosure is very nice. Enjoy bonding with your new cham! And thank god for Dave pointing out those very important facts! Life saving!!!

Yes, you're right. I did mean to say 'some' but I have an issue with coming across as 'matter of fact' :o Something I need to work on. Here is a past thread that might help clarify what I was trying to say. https://www.chameleonforums.com/subject-coil-uvb-bulbs-36225/

Yeah dude, it's just reiterating what I said. The basking light was too close. Are you confusing the 'coil bulb' with the basking light? We're talking about the UVB coil bulbs.

Perhaps I can offer some advice. I just nursed a very dehydrated panther back to health. She wouldn't eat for over 2 weeks. Be very attentive. Offer showers often. Try feeding with a syringe while giving a shower. I did a lot of searches on bug juice and I used the following: pedialyte, some...

Look at your family!!! I would love to see your entire collection - including the beardies and all :)
