Just thought that I would update you all on Walker's condition. Sadly, on Mother's Day, he passed away from unknown causes. It turned out that he didn't have a respiratory infection. My vet wasn't too sure of what was going on with him, so I was going to take him to a bigger and better vet after...

Just last week my cham was on a bit of a hunger strike. We had to take him out of his enclosure to feed him, and even then he'd only eat maybe two or three crickets a day. He's been doing a lot better and eating a lot more than usual, but these past few days, but lately, he's been gaping and...

I've been looking into expanding my animal collection (1 tree frog, 1 dog, 1 fish, 1 exotic bird, 1 chameleon), and the reptile I would really like is a leopard gecko. I've researched them quite a bit now. I just have to run it by with my dad seeing that I still live at home for the moment. It...

I'm very concerned about how my chameleon is rubbing his eye. He very vigorously rubs his eye on anything to the point where it seems like his eye is moving around weirdly in his socket. It seems bulgey after he rubs it and it takes a few blinks before it's back to normal. Sadly I don't have a...

:Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veield male chameleon, around two or three months old. I've had him for about three weeks Handling - I have only handled him once. Feeding - He gets 10-15 crickets a day. Calcium w/o d3 every feeding, with d3 twice a month, and will get vitamins sometimes...

So I had recently had taken my male veiled to the vet, as some of you may know. The vet looked him over and asked me what my concern was and what I did husbandry wise. I told her that my concern was that he was closing his eyes while basking. Normally he'd just open his eyes back up and not...

So I just took my veiled cham to a vet today for his first check up. The vet seemed pretty knowledgeable, but there were a few things that she said that didn't match up to the care sheets on here. She had to call another vet in the state to see what they recommended. I'm copying and pasting the...

I just walked into my room to find Walker with his eyes closed. Gonna make an appointment ASAP. I just don't want something to be wrong with him... or come home from work/school to find him dead... He's not shedding, so there shouldn't be skin or anything in his eyes.

So, when I first got my cham Walker, he climbed to the very top of his cage. Then, he only did it for maybe 30 seconds at a time. Well, now I've had him for a little over two weeks, and he's been basking up there, you could say, for quite a while. The first time he did it today, he was up there...

I didn't take a picture because I knew what it was, but today was the first time that I noticed a salt deposit sticking out of Walker's nose. He let me use a moist q-tip to remove it. I have well water, so could that be part of the cause? Can I use a water filter to help the problem?

Ever since I have gotten my chameleon cage, I have used a repticarpet. The only downside of it is that it's really wet after multiple mistings. Should I just remove it and have nothing at the bottom of the cage at all, or what? I'd love to hear your guys' suggestions and input!

This was Walker'spoop today. It's usually dark and solid, but today it looks a little mucus-y. I believe part of the cause is the raspberries that my mom fed him yesterday. (A few days a go my mom misted his cage while I was at work and he tried to eat her red nails, so that's why she fed him...

Today I went into a local family owned pet shop to see what they had for misting systems. While I was at it, I took it upon myself to look at their chams. They had a female Jackson's cham and a boy veiled. The female looked pregnant and sickly. They only had one light and something to climb on...

So sometimes Walker likes to puff his chin out. It worries me a little bit. He does it when I'm not in the room. I'll walk in and find him puffed up. I also got him to hand feed. Actually, my mom did. He hadn't yet touched his crickets so she picked one up and held it in front of him and he...

Yesterday, I bought a 3 month old or so veiled chameleon from a local reputable reptile shop. Yesterday he just chilled in a plant, but now today he's out and about. It has been twice now that I have caught him climbing up the side of his cage to be directly under the light, or he is able to...

I have my cage all set up, but no cham in it. The resting humidity is sits between 55°f and 60°f. I mist about three times a day, and when I mist the humidity can get up to 70° and I need it to be higher than that. Does anyone have any tips or ticks on how to keep my humidity up? I have a...

Okay, so I have my cage pretty much set up. I'm still working on the decor, but I'd like to know what you guys think of it, and if you have any recommendations to make it better. I hope you can see the pictures I attached. I have some sandblasted grape vine and more vines and foliage.I'm also...

Okay, so I know that this is rather frowned upon by everyone on this forum, but I'm buying my first cham from Petco. I visit there regularly to buy crickets for my tree frog, so I check up on the chams. Never once did they seem unhealthy to me. They were always moving around, not closing their...

Hello. I am new to the chameleon world. I've done a bunch of research on how to care for chameleons, what they need, etc. (Basically I know the basics.) Sometime next month, I will be getting a juvenile veiled chameleon from a pet store. I'm not too sure whether it'll be male or female. I...
