I agree - I see the spur too. It's very young - maybe a month old at most.

Water. Some people use pedialyte but I have found water to be be useful. Long mistings, a shower, give him/her time to drink.

He's adorable! I can't believe he is so tiny!!!

Jupiter, I agree with everything you said, including the shout-out to Duchamp. My hubby and I have had this "discussion" several times. He chooses to be a purist and will only do minimal post processing such as cropping whereas I have been experimenting since the dark ages (film). I've tried...

As ferret said, care is very different than a veiled. Melleri need more space, more water, more food. They are nearly always wild caught and can have parasites and other issues. Even ones that have been in captivity for a while tend to have issues as they are rarely properly cared for.

why would you need to get more calcium in her? Seems like she is getting enough. You could give her liquid calcium if you wanted.

They all look different.

Thanks everyone. No, we haven't had any problems with tongues getting caught. It looks more risky in photos than it actually is.

She's adorable! Congrats!

Do not trim them. I have a couple chameleons that lost nails due to injury (WC) and a chameleon that had it's nails trimmed very short by a previous owner and they all have difficulty gripping. I have 14 melleri and 3 oustalets and I just accept that part of handling them comes with love...

That's a really tiny cage for a large adult male veiled .... You could try offering him something else - silkworms, dubia, flies - they tend to love things that fly. It's better for them to eat more than one or two feeders only.

I've resigned myself to constantly having scratches on my hands ...

Thanks everyone! We are pretty fortunate, they are very tolerant of each other and never get bothered by other chameleons. I always offered favorite foods when they meet other chameleons or new people, get photographed, or go places so they associate everything with yummy treats and actually...

thank you! I wish I could find gorgeous adult chameleons for $40 on craigslist!

My hubby with two of our largest - Lucky (female melleri) & Bogie (male oustalets)

There are always shenanigans going on with the chameleons! Bogie runs around looking for handouts. I call him my little chihuahua lizard. I got it. No, I got it. Babies are always eager to eat. The boys have a meeting. Sami tries to herd the baby veileds. Babies...

that's awesome. I want to start raising snails ... Does it take long to lay/hatch?

He is a pretty boy. I love the blue on his head.

How do you know it is mouth rot?

Awesome shot!!!
