I am so confused...there's a 14 year old who's stating she's a future breeder...but doesn't know how to care for chameleons...then there's someone talking about god, goat milk and car insurance....it's too early for this...

For a male, I would say yes. I keep all my females in a 18x18x36, males at least a 2'x2'x4'.

Basking bulbs are a scam. A normal incandescent bulb will work just fine (Make sure it's not a CFL that looks like an incandescent, as they will not put out enough heat).

I would try and raise his basking spot to a higher temperature, between 85-90 Degrees.

Hmm, based on these pictures I can't be sure. can you take pictures with the tail extended? There's some coloration coming in on the head, but it's not unheard of females having some color on the cheeks.

Congratulations! Nick at Canvas is fantastic! Be sure to post pictures once you can... :)

Yep, without a doubt male.

I wouldn't hesitate getting a T5 fixture. They're much better than T8 as they produce more light, and use less energy. I have never heard anything about it bothering young chameleons, on the contrary, it's better than the coiled UVB bulbs. If you have a 1 or 2 bulb fixture, then yes get a...

As Jpowell stated, extra humidity and mistings will help with the shedding. The skin will absorb the added moisture and start releasing the old skin. NEVER try and "help" by pulling any skin off. This could damage the new skin underneath.

Veiled chameleons grow pretty fast. It's common for them to shed around every 3 weeks or so at that age.

Very beautiful boy!

Welcome Bradford! As expressed by others, there's a wealth of knowledge to be had here by many experienced keepers as well as the caresheets that are available. There's one setup for the more common Chameleon types (Veileds, Panthers etc) so that's a great place to start for a rundown on most...

How long is this going to be allowed to continue...? This has been going on for weeks. It's nonsense flooding the forums.

Hmmm...coloration while this young is unusual. I don't see a bump as others have stated. This is a tough one for sure...I'm going to say female until I see something that proves otherwise. Any chance at some pictures with tail extended? I think she's doing her best boy impersonation...

Mistking is actually based out of Canada. You should be able to pick it up at mistking.com. If you're looking for a retailer...can't help there unfortunately. :(

I don't see enough evidence to sway me...I'm sticking with male.

I would ditch the red bulb, not necessary at all. As long as you have your UVB bulb and a basking spot. Those colored "heat bulbs" are a scam, a regular incandescent bulb will provide plenty of heat and cost you $0.99.

Yeah I'd say that's a big no on that stuff. Socialnumb's comments are on point. You can also try feeding fruits and veggies. When we cook everyday, we usually have all sorts of scraps of carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, collards etc that are good gutload for crickets as well.

This is pretty cool, I'm thinking I may get one watch Nigel as well. Is this a 12 hour time lapse?

When younger, chameleons will shed far more often, usually every 3 weeks or so. As adults, you might see it once every two months or so, just depends on your guy's growth. Misting will definitely help ease the process and move it along. You'll see them rubbing up against sticks, stretching...
