I am moving my 8 month old veiled chameleon to a larger enclosure, I am having drainage and other non-serious issues with his current enclosure I am using, so I am wanting to move him into a larger and better designed enclosure next month. I am doing some planning and working on the design, I...

Sometimes it takes a few days for him to get a piece of dead skin off his casque, would that cut off the circulation as stated in the post above? Or was that for full sheds?

Good to know, I thought he would be doing full body sheds all the time, not sure why I thought that. :D Thanks for the replies.

About 3 weeks ago my chameleon had a partial shed, his face/casque only. I replaced his UVB this week sine it was going on the 6 month mark, and now today the rest of his body is shedding, but not his face/casque. Do I need to be worried about partial sheds, is it common? This is the first...

I am working on plans for a new enclosure, the current one I have I am starting to dislike due to drainage issues and the size of the enclosure, it's built out of a piece of an entertainment center, it's a tower used for holding electronics. I sealed everything and there is no water damage, it's...

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I got a few more pictures but my memory card reader on my desktop doesn't want to work, I am going to head to my office and upload them today. I hope he starts to get more blue as he gets older, what age do chameleons normally start to show full colors...

Besides the white on his nose, how does he look health wise? He is about 7 months old, the only concern I had was his legs they seem to be fatter at the bottom-half than the top, is that normal?

I checked out this thread, the pictures I see it seems to be directly around the nostrils, in my example it's more around the entire front of his nose/face like he dipped his nose in cocaine.:p I am doing a lot of reading on the subject, from what I have read so far it's harmless and not a...

Here is a picture I just took, it's not really visible in the photo for some reason but you can see a small bit of the white.

For the last week or so my veiled has developed some white around his nose, it's not the little specks that I have seen with over-supplementation it looks more like he stuck his nose in powdered sugar. I read on here that using wet q-tips to wipe it off, but I tried and he didn't let me get...

You don't want it to be too hot at the top, too hot can be bad too.

I moved his basking spot up a few inches, it gets to about 84 degrees now, thanks for the help guys!

I am just confused because I know others get higher temps with lower wattage bulbs. I just measured his basking spot and it's more like 12" from the light. I am adding some extra bio vine as mentioned above to make an "arch" of sorts to get him closer to the light. The ambient temp in his...

I went and bought a 100w soft-white, I am only getting 82 degrees, a whopping 2 degree increase. I am using 3 different thermometers to check the temps. The basking light sits on top of his enclosure, his basking spot is about 8" away form the light, I can't move his spot closer since the...

When is the show? I need a 18" UVB and fixture to replace my 24" fixture and bulb. Do they have good prices on crickets at these shows? I want to go, but I know I might get sucked into buying another chameleon, and my wife would kill me! :D

So it's gotten about 20 degrees colder over the last week here in Phoenix. I keep my bedroom window open because I love the cold air at night, and it's significantly cooled down my apartment to about 70 degrees now. Because of the drop in temp in my apartment, my chameleons 75 watt...

That's not too bad, I can deal with a couple of days. He's been a real punk lately too, from what I read on here I hope it's just a "teenager" phase. He's growing so much, and seeing him in his current enclosure makes me want him to have much more open space. I wish I could free-range, but...

I built a custom enclosure out of a piece of furniture in my house, it's a 7' tall wooden entertainment enclosure that was used to hold electronics, etc. I spent weeks sealing the enclosure, making sure it was water tight and everything Today I noticed some of the MDF board it's made out of...

Thank you for the replies everyone, I am glad to see it's somewhat normal, and that he's going through a territorial "teenage" phase. :D I put about 10 crickets in each day now, if he doesn't eat them within 2-3 hours I put them back in the keeper. I did read as they get older they graudally...

I have had my chameleon Ziggy since May. Over the last few weeks he has been acting really strange. First, I will fill out the "how to ask for help" section: Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon - ~7 months old Handling - Tried, and failed. He won't come near my hands...
