Hello! I have returned from my chameleon hiatus! After the loss of my Jackson,Cassidy, I needed a break! Back with an impulse purchase of a juvenile veiled. Where can I find a good refresher on veileds? Mainly looking for temps, humidity, and supplements. Thank you! Meet Frenchie!
Cassidy after his morning cage spraying! Still can’t believe this guy survived the antibiotic injections for almost 2 months! He is a little over 3 years old and thriving!! @JacksJill our boy🥹
I got a Blink camera for Christmas. He’s been hiding since I put it in lol but today, Cassidy was caught on camera ! Haha I swear he knows I’m watching him🤣
Hello! I noticed today that Cassidy has a swollen bottom eye. He also has a scratch or burn near the underneath of the swollen area. I carefully put some silvex on the scratch burn area. I don’t think it’s a burn. A few weeks ago he had a scratch on his back leg (this resolved completely). I’m...
Hello! I noticed these two black spots on Cassidy’s body near his back leg. Thoughts? Thinking maybe he scratched himself on a stick… He is currently shedding. Thanks in advance! @JacksJill
This is not for my cham! But I just got a bearded dragon for my daughter and I need to heat his cage (mainly since my house is in MA and better suited for a cham with the temp drops lol) . My question is can I use the bulb in a regular hood that I would a basking bulb? Or does it require a...
I am wondering how often should a Jackson’s Cham shed? Cassidy has not shed once since I have had him (about 3 months). He seems fine, I feel like everything is where it should be but no shed? He is a little over a year old. Thanks!
Took Cassidy out to weigh him today! Literally 1 ounce! So cute. He was not thrilled with me but is back in his cage safe and sound! Of course had to snap a pic while he was out too!!! @JacksJill
Hello!! I am purchasing a new hood for the linear uvb bulb... My current one is probably 4 years old still working but the reflectors appear to be a little worn... this one I have been using was a generic one I got from Amazon forever ago. Wondering which one I should buy now... Reptisun? T5...
Love this little guy! The only time I can get good pics without stressing him out is bed time!He is all tucked in. Actually surprised what a deep sleeper he is! Was able to get super close without disturbing him! Lights go out in about 20 minutes!
Hello! I have two hygrometers both probes and they are 10-15 percentages apart from each other. Does anyone have a brand or type that they recommend? I have an infrared thermometer, is there something besides a probe and dial for measuring humidity? Thanks!!! By the way here is a pic of my new...

So recently I noticed my male veiled Cham had swelling of his casque and cheeks. I was baffled and researched for days, scrolling through old posts here and in a Facebook group. I saw everything from over hydration, fat storage, liquid build up, MBD, and infections. No matter what I could not...
Hello, so there are definitely some fruit flies living in my veiled's cage, in the plants and I will see a few flying around. I have set up traps outside his cage hoping to get rid of them. So this morning there was one just sitting on my guy's head. Fruit flies don't bite, do they? Will they...
Rico has been in his new cage 24X24X48 for a week now. Any suggestions? Temps are good but still wondering about whether I should change to the long light... Any thoughts?

I have been researching and am getting mixed info.... Should I dab some neosporin on the toe where my cham lost his nails to prevent infection??? I have added chicken wire to the sides of the inside of cage but still want to make sure I handle the lost nails properly... TIA.
