Ok, so you have some upgrades to make. You do have the coil uvb bulb which isn’t able to provide adequate uvb levels. You’ll need to get a linear T5 ho fixture with either a 5.0 or Arcadia brand 6% uvb bulb. It needs to be long enough to span the width of your enclosure...so 24”. Proper uvb is...

There's a really good husbandry program at https://chameleonacademy.com/ A member here—Gingero—has a video series called Neptune the Chameleon that's also very good. And the Resources section on this site.

Welcome, there are a lot of things that need to be gone over. Please fill this out Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, unable to tell, too young. Easily only a month or two old. Got it from PetSmart, however they did not know what they were doing. Been in our care 3 days...

Cage Info: Cage Type - It is a terrarium, glass, however the front part of the cage has a large rectangle screened part at the top facing you of the terrarium and at the back, and the top is also screened. We plan on purchasing a bigger, even more screened cage within a couple months. For now...

Not to be rude, but this isn't all correct. The chameleon should not be fattened up. Saying to feed waxworms isn't a great idea. Avoiding mealworms, eh sure there's better feeders, but it's been mostly debunked a few times on here that they're any sort of real danger and are more nutritious...

Update: Hello guys. I upgraded my enclosure to reptibreeze xl but my chameleon still doing the same things just like in his older enclosure. Screen walking, walking on the bottom of the enclosure and trying to get out. His colours if beautiful. When he walking around or outside his colours are...

Some tips from one keeper to another... 1.) It is fine for right now, but you will for sure want to upgrade your cage to a bigger size within a few months. She will quickly out grow that cage. 2.) Get a linear uvb light, those spiral lights are no good. 3.) Get rid of the fake plants and add...

Welcome to the forum. So sorry for that poor little chameleon. Did you buy it or did they give it to you?? Your Chameleon - hes a veiled chameleon. i dont know his sex i just asumed he was a male he was got from petco a week ago but was much lager then all the other becuse peoplke didnt want a...

I am replacing the compact uvb ASAP and have turned it off today to see if it’s the cause of him keeping his eyes closed and mostly having his one eye irritated. I will up the vitamins and the reason his food intake is higher than normal is because he is underweight and I am trying to gradual...

I’ll put my feedback in red. :) Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? I don’t have a definite answer on how old my girl is but if i had to estimate, maybe 1-2 months? Petsmart is awful about these sorts of things. I have had her for...

Can you take a picture of the entire enclosure lighting down for me as well?

Well the material for the background is foam, its the basic background that comes with exoterra tanks, its the cheap 1 foam like you get in shipping materials, with it carved and some paint lol. Yes a chameleon can 100% climb it, as well as easily shred it apart and stick their nails into it...

Hi Everyone. I don't come here very often. Almost forgot that I have an account. Just wanted to talk about my Ambilobe Panther Chameleon, Newman Picasso. At 3 years old, he just passed away on the 10th from a lung infection. He had been fighting this battle for months, getting worse and worse...

my advice will be in red Welcome, there are a lot of things that need to be gone over. Please fill this out Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, unable to tell, too young. Easily only a month or two old. Got it from PetSmart, however they did not know what they were doing. Been...

Everything in your husbandry is pretty spot on now. The green carpet in the bottom needs to be removed as it will just be a bacteria breeding ground and is not healthy. Based on looking at the enclosure you need more cover. How are you checking your temps at basking branch?

I took my panther cham Ramses out for some sun yesterday; he has no problem with short periods of handling, so I stood out in a sunny spot with him for about 20 mins while he basked before taking him in. Since I went back inside with him, he's been super active and I'm not totally sure why? It's...

I just bought my chameleon from a reptilian in DFW, and he is a Panther Chameleon. They said he is about 3 months old, and he was born at their store. He looks very small for a 3 month old. Are you sure he is a he, as well? She said he had a big attitude and has bitten multiple members of the...

Two to three hours intermittently? As long as you are ritualistic about getting the water out then you are ok with drainage. I have not found that ideal in my experience and I suggest finding a better method of getting the water out of the cage. You're not wrong, but it might be less of a pain...

First "Terrarium" has arrived. I made 2 of the shelves to fit this exactly, however now I'm think the second one might hold something slightly different. The reason I chose this, is I prefer the venting style, I think 18x18x20 is a cooler size (gives me 18x18x18, with 2 inches of substrate...

Would adding a smaller live tree in the cage be a good start? I am at work right now so i cant provide information about the bulbs or anything else
