I have a gravid female chameleon, she's been gravid for a few weeks now. I taped a pillow case to the front of her cage so she doesn't see me and provided her with a laying bin. She used to just have the yellow spots but as of yesterday, her whole body started turning black. Does this mean she...

My Veiled chameleon is 8-9 1/2 months old and is having her first clutch. She's showing all the signs and has the gravid marks. The only thing is that she's been like this for at least two weeks now and I'm wondering if she's not laying because she's eggbound?? I've provided her a laying bin, I...

So my female is of age to lay her eggs and she has the yellow gravid spots. A few days ago is when her colors turned and she climbed down from her tree a lot and onto the ground. So I put her in a laying bin yesterday. When will she lay her eggs? Will her gravid markings go away after she lays them?

I have a male veiled chameleon, he's about eight months. He has tarsal spurs and the bulge under his tail. He's displaying some odd colors and behavior since this morning. He keeps wanting to get down from his tree and onto the ground, which I know is a females display to lay eggs. And I don't...

I notice that Vivid nostrils swell sometimes when he is going to shed. But I wanted to make sure it wasn't him getting a *mini-illness* or something. Because it seems like his nose gets really dry and he breaths out of his mouth until he sheds, is this normal?

I had a thread before this but I noticed that if a thread has at least one answer, it will go unanswered after that. I made a new one because I didn't get an answer I was looking for, they commented on a completely different topic. So I got Vivid exactly 5 months ago on August 14th bc that's my...

So I got Vivid five months ago from the pet store, which I'm guessing he was a month and a half or so old then so I'd say he's probably about six and a half months old. He's showing just a little bit of either very light brown or red, black of course, and a small bit of yellow and white. I was...

So I finished the setup and I wanted to make sure everything looked good for Vivid. I'll include some pictures of it, so tell me if you guys think I need anything else. I'd like to buy some vines to wrap around it as well at a later date.

So I got a ficus, hoping Vivid, my veiled chameleon, would be much happier there since he seems to get so stressed in his cage and different elements that being in his cage brings him. I wanted to permanently move him out on a ficus as his new home. As in, he won't go in his cage anymore. I...

Okay so I was on reddit as an external link to search how to tame a chameleon. I tried the steps they listed and for the first time ever! Vivid did not get his scary spots! And did not puff up at me! So I'm going to share what to do for inexperienced keepers who want to tame their chameleons! So...

My veiled chameleon is a few months old now and I've realized that I've been handling him wrong and probably scaring him and he doesn't really like me. I know chameleons are smart and can associate what you look like to what you do and I guess I'm just asking, is there a way to make my chameleon...

I got Vivid about four months ago, he's a veiled chameleon. And while I love him so much, I have to give him away. I am not experienced enough to care for him, i.e. I have memory loss and cannot keep up with daily tasks well. I tried hard to give him what he needs, but I keep forgetting. I think...

I put these branches on Vivid's cage yesterday and I wonder if they're too thick or if they're just fine, or if it doesnt matter at all. I'm going to be buying more foilage soon so dont worry about that. Do the branches look fine or no?

The bab did great! The vet said I’ve been taking really good care of him since I got him and my cage setup is great. But it’s not warm enough and he can't digest his food and is weak. So I'm gonna raise the heat in the house and buy a 75 watt bulb because I have a 50 right now. And she told me...

Is this enough foilage in Vivid's cage or should I get more? My mom keeps fighting with me that he won't be able to find his food. Also tomorrow I'm getting rid of the waterfall so you don't have to worry about that.

Vivid's health is declining again, I've made another vet appointment in two days. She is alert and everything but he's not walking with his belly off the branch anymore, seeming sluggish and one of his eyes look like their swollen. I wish the pet store I got him from actually cared for him. When...

My 3-4 month old male closes his eyes when I pick him up, not any other time. He has his eyes open all the time except for when I pick him up and he closes them. He might open them and look around when he's on my hand but then he closes them again. Is he afraid of me?

I've had my veiled for about a month to a month and a half by now, it's still a baby(ish) or juvenile and the petstore didn't know what gender it was. Can someone tell me?
