I wasn't sure if there's a way to update/edit a previous thread title, but here's a link to my thread about Anarchy's toe - https://www.chameleonforums.com/black-mass-under-veileds-toe-nail-139862/ I've put polysporin on it, and today I noticed the toe nail is gone, as is the black stuff that...

Today I went to hand feed my carpet chameleon, Telo, a cricket today (I fed him yesterday but offered him one anyway). To my surprise, he by-passed the crickets and walked straight onto my hand, up my arm and perched himself on my shoulder. I realized I had some sunlight from the window on me...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male, Veiled, 2 1/2 years old, with me 2 years. Handling - Never. He lets me hand feed him and I can lure him out of his cage but that's pretty much it. Feeding - Mostly crickets, gut loaded with dino fuel and various fresh dark greens depending on what I get...

Um, tell me you don't love this :D http://teespring.com/bdreptilelady

For a naturalistic vivarium, what do you use for substrate and how do you layer it for proper drainage? Thanks for reading :D

So I've heard that chameleons are often considered "bad luck" or "bring evil spirits" in their native lands, does anyone have more information about that? Maybe an article, book, or further explanation? Also, I'm assuming that refers to Madagascar, are there similar negative feelings about...

I don't typically water the plants in my carpets terrarium because the mist does it enough, but recently I rearranged them and one of the plants was looking a little sad. So I filled a cup with water, and started to slowly pour. My little carpet, Telo, saw this and walked up in front of it...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Carpet, M, about 3mo. I've had him three days. Handling - Haven't handled him, don't plan on handling him soon. Feeding - Small crickets, dusted with calcium and I'll give him multivitamins and calcium with d3 every two weeks. Crickets eat water gel, dino...

Hey guys, I've decided to put up some shower curtain on the sides of my guys screen cage to help with humidity and keeping his mist only in the cage. I'm magnet shopping to help hold it up, do you think 4.5lbs pull force would be enough? What if i wanted to later replace the shower curtain...

So, I'm starting to run out of dino fuel, and I'm also getting my guy some horn worms as a treat. I noticed Great Lakes also has a gut load for all insects, but the ingredients aren't on the description. Has anyone used it? Or have any idea what it consists of? Here's the url in case I...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Jackson, male, maybe a few weeks-month? He's about 2.5 inches long. Handling - Only had him three days, took him outside to be in the sun once. Feeding - He ate 3 very small (not quite pinheads) crickets on his second day with me, I just let him settle in...

A month ago my little guy Anarchy was super afraid of me and I would hide behind a plant to watch him eat, drink, and explore without him knowing I was there. After about a week, I got him to eat a cricket from a pair of chop sticks. It was amazing. Fast forward through short insect tongs...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled, Male, I'm guessing 4-5 months? Been in my care for two. Handling - Rarely, last time was to move him into a new cage. Feeding - 4 medium crickets a day, the latest I might feed him is 3pm, although it's usually around 11-12. Dinofuel + varied greens...

I currently have a bougainvillea and a schefflera in my veiled chams cage, and while the schefflera appears fine I think my bougainvillea needs some more lighting action. However, I don't know much about grow lights or how certain wattages will affect little Anarchy. What works for you guys?

Ok, so I've read that you can reduce clutch size/frequency in female veiled chams my limiting their eating and slightly reducing temps - is this true? I'm a newbie and my female veiled is young, but I want to be prepared and make sure that once she's mature, I'm super ready for this egg...

So, I've recently moved my young veiled (4-5 months old) into a larger enclosure. It's an 18 x 18 x 36 mesh cage. I've put an ficus and a bougainvillea. The ficus grazes the roof, the bougainvillea is a couple inches shorter. I purchased some of those bamboo dowels that are used for...

So, I just got her 2 1/2 days ago. She's about 3 inches long, and is not eating. I'm not sure that she's drinking either. I've offered free roaming crickets, and today I tried to offer her mealworms that I place on a watery leaf. Not having it. She gets spotty and dark when I come by, so I've...
