Hi yall, 9-month-old male Veiled has been opening his mouth slightly throughout the day. I've caught him doing this three or four times now, but he always closes it as soon as I approach, so I had to take this photo from super far away. He's looking at a hornworm in this photo, but he...

Hi everyone, I'd like to order some hornworms online. I live in California, so the retailers I've found online are trying to charge me $10 to $33 to ship a small cup of hornworms to my house. It's outrageous. The price of hornworms is also absurd at pet stores here; it's $10 for 4 worms at...

Hi all, I've got one of those cricket containers that has 4 black tubes for them to climb into for darkness / hiding. The tubes slide out for easy pouring into a feeder cup. In the container, I keep a dry paper towel with plenty of mustard greens and shaved baby carrots. I used to keep a piece...

Hi everyone, I've currently got a 14" Zoo Med T5 HO UVB fixture with a Repti Zoo 5.0 bulb inside. This fixture does not span the width of the cage; I need something around 22". I was thinking of buying this one: Repti Zoo 24W T5 HO UVB 22" but I can't figure out if it's got a 6% bulb in it...

Hi everyone, I've got a 6-month-old (maybe 5?) male veiled chameleon, and he's just now experiencing his second shed. It looks different from his first. His first shed was 6 weeks ago, and it looked as normal as any shed I've ever seen in a reptile: he basically "unzipped" from tail to head...

Hi everyone, my 5-month-old male veiled is looking a bit discolored, and his urates are orange -- but his poops are still super wet and slimy. I wanted to ask for a health check. This little dude is 16.1g, up from 12.4g exactly one month ago. He eats crickets (confirmed), dubias and wax worms...

Hello everyone, My 5-month-old male veiled seems to be having an eye issue. My wife noticed his right eye looked a bit different from the left eye one morning when she turned on his lights. First, it looked like it was bulging a bit, and then later it looked a bit sunken in. We've caught him...

Hi everyone! I just want to do a quick visual health check with you on my 3-month-old male veiled, Charms. I've got 3 issues I'd like to discuss: 1. Hydration: does he look dehydrated? Charms is very timid and retreats any time I open the enclosure to put the feeding cups in, which is once...

Hi folks, My wife and I built our first terrarium for our first chameleon. We then purchased a 3-month-old male veiled chameleon from a reptile expo in Southern California 2 weeks ago. I have noticed two issues with this chameleon: Problem 1: BUMPS ALONG THE CHAMELEON'S SIDE We only noticed...

Hi all, My 3-month-old veiled chameleon Charms has been in my home for 9 days now, and he's begun to establish a routine. I'd like to tell you about it and show you some photos of him for any feedback / guidance. Charms sleeps on his topmost branch with his little chin resting on the branch...

Hi folks, I've got a 3-month old male veiled that I adopted recently. He's very shy about eating or drinking around me, so it's always difficult to tell if he's actually eating enough. I put about 12 medium-sized crickets in his enclosure each day, but it's a bioactive enclosure so I assume some...

Hi everyone, I adopted a 3-month-old male Veiled yesterday from the Repticon Expo in Southern California. I built a 4-foot bioactive terrarium for him with Maiden's Hair ferns, Pothos plants, and an Umbrella plant. It's also got a few fake bushes for extra hiding. The enclosure has isopods and...

Hi everyone! I am a first time VEILED chameleon owner. I've got a few miscellaneous questions as my wife and I finish setting up the terrarium: I have purchased a simple thermometer and hygrometer that are battery-powered and attach to the glass wall of the terrarium. Are these sufficient, or...

Hi friends, is something wrong with this chameleon I found at a petstore yesterday? Her coloring is very strange to me, but I'm colorblind so I can't really be sure. My wife says the chameleon does not have those red spots on her back; it's just the heat lamp she's sitting under. The petcare...
