She is a veiled and I would say ~3-4 months but with nothing to compare her size to in the picture I can't really tell. As for what you were told about humidity it's lack of ventilation that can cause problems such as URI. What % does it go up to after mistings? And what is the normal %...

More info on your lighting is needed. It's not a compact florescent is it? You need a UVB tube style florescent light, and a heat lamp, an incandescent bulb (whatever wattage achieves the basking temp) in a clamp light fixture works best. 4" from the UVB bulb is too close, 6"-10" is optimal...

I only have one nozzle pointed straight down in the middle of my guy's 4'x2'x2' cage. If he is in his basking spot he gets a bit of mist which usually provokes him to drink and he'll move closer to the nozzle. Personally I have to where he can escape the mist if he so chooses. Of course my...

Yes put the UVB on top. He can potentially burn himself on that too, though not as easily as the heat lamp.

I use an aquarium heater with no problems.

Great lookin guy you got there. I think the name fits pretty well, Ehhhhh

Thanks for the complements, took me a better part of a day to build. Not much planning other than a rough drawing, a lot re-cutting tho. I quickly learned to cut everything long, test fit and trim. The cage it's self is 4'x2'x2' and the base is 3'x3' to catch any over spray of the mister...

Well we both made the move to AZ. I made him a 2'x1'x8'' travel cage and he rode strapped into the passenger seat the whole way; taking him out to mist at every gas fill up. The trip obviously stressed him out a ton since he's is just now today returning to his normal, normal colors and...

Chameleons use their tongue capture prey. If the insect was on the ground when the cham shot for it, it is possible that the tongue could grab a piece of dirt/bark. This could cause the cham to become impacted which will lead to death if not promptly and properly treated. The link I posted...

I used it once a month as part of my supplement schedule. A little preventative maintenance can't hurt, right? :D

Read much? Great looking pair you've got there!

Since the enclosure isn't sitting in front of me and the pictures don't really show how its constructed the easiest way to to get those light out of there IMO would be to cut a large hole in the top, cover with screen and place the lights on top. A clap light fixture with a 40 or 60w...

Where do you live??? It would greatly help people give you the correct info if you filled out where you were located in your profile. Many UK and colder climate keepers find that a glass / partial screen enclosures keep humidity and heat better, the key is a lot of ventilation. Which your...

Sounds like a really cool enclosure. Can't wait to see some pics, of the shower and the girl :D

They look like fresh thermal burns to me. How are his lights positioned and what are his temps (basking and ambient). Whatever they are a vet visit is in order.

Sounds like he might be a she. Read up on how to tell the difference and properly care for a female, if it turns out its a she. This site has 99% of everything you could want to know about caring for veileds: http://raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.blogspot.com/

I solved my gnat problem by taking the following steps: 1)After setting up a temporary cage for which to house the cham for ~4 hours. I placed a large container with very hot water and dry ice in the cage and wrapped the whole cage in saran plastic wrap. The CO2 given off by the dry ice...

Yes you NEED all three supplements and you NEED to follow a strict schedule. What do you mean by gutloading with calcium products? More specifically what do you mean by calcium products? Dark leafy greens are high in many vitamins and in calcium.

very handsome indeed

They can't walk up packing tape so I always line the inside with tape. Depending on the container it can be kinda a pita. I always feed them greens from my gutload ingredients. I keep them in the mid to high 80s with a bit of humidity and plenty ventilation. I always have quite a few die off...
