I live in a small, “spot-in-the-road” town on the countryside. Besides issues with mice, I also have issues with bugs… specifically Daddy Long Legs (spiders). I swear that I have checked every side and possibly crevice and that there is no possible way for a bug to get in or out of Rango’s...

I went to offer Rango his cup of buggies when I noticed his eyes were closed. I quickly backed off, since I’m not sure how he would react to being awakened from his (very peaceful-looking) slumber. 😅 I’m not entirely sure how normal it is for an adult Veiled to take a nap, but this is the first...

I just got home from work and went to water my Veiled when I noticed how big his casque has gotten. I’m super happy that he’s healthy and thriving! He was NOT happy about getting taken from his cage, though. 😂 (Ignore the safety sock on my hand… he was a bit feisty and I didn’t want him...

A few months ago, it had been collectively estimated via me and a few other members that Rango was 5-6 months old. Because of his MBD, he hasn’t grown very much and his casque is slightly small for his age, so it was difficult to tell. It’s been a few more months since then, and I believe Rango...

Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays for those who don’t celebrate)! 💚 In honor of Rango’s estimated first birthday being in January, and as well as in the holiday spirit, I just want to thank everybody for helping me learn more about my Veiled throughout these past several months. My scale baby...

Today, I offered my veiled a horned worm as a little treat during his dinner time. Instead of turning black and running away, I watched as he slowly came closer. At first, I wasn’t sure if he wanted the worm (he hates the sight of my evil hand), but he started to smack his lips… and then, he...

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted on here because I’ve been busy with work and plans around this time of year, but Rango is still thriving! My only issue: I’ve noticed that he seems to bask all day. Compared to before, he used to explore his “territory” and was fairly active during the day, so...

I just got this tattoo of my baby today. I decided Marigolds were appropriate for the flowers around him, and I think my artist captured him perfectly. He even got the MBD elbows in there. 💚

I took a quick picture of my scale baby yesterday because I’m planning on getting a tattoo of him, and I would like it to be as accurate as possible. Look at how much my boy has grown. I’m so proud of him! 💚

For a few days after I put a bamboo bridge in Rango (my veiled)’s cage, he avoided the general area. I had hoped to use it with the intent of helping his claws dull out a bit. He seems to have explored the bamboo out of curiosity while I was away today. Look at his basking stance! 😂

I’m sure there are already many posts about this issue… but I’ve noticed that gnats (fruit flies) seemed to come out of nowhere and have become roommates with my Veiled. Is there a simple way to solve this problem? Maybe a plant of sorts?

Hey all, I have been reviving my late mother’s bright green pothos fir a few weeks now. It’s brightened up quite a bit, and now I believe it’s ready to be used as ceiling coverage. However, I can’t figure out how I could starch my pothos to the ceiling of my cage. For reference, it’s an XL...

Accidentally misted Rango directly this evening, but I thought he looked handsome and share-worthy. 💚 (He didn’t seem to mind as much this time & actually drank some water!)

Hey, all! Me again. So I’ve come across one issue that genuinely bothers me: I work late (usually until about 9 PM), and I cannot water my Veiled until I am home. I do not want any family member accidentally doing something wrong while trying to help, and I do not have an automatic mister yet...

I’ve been avoiding hand feeding. To be honest, I was waiting until Rango got his new cage… but, now that he’s had it for a while, I’ve been trying to introduce him to hand feeding in an attempt to build trust. Unfortunately, my veiled isn’t exactly a fan of my hand. I attempted feeding him a...

An odd question, I know, but I don’t stare at my veiled long enough to catch him blinking. I figured they likely had a third eyelid or something… 😅 However, I caught this clip as I was testing Rango’s reaction to a gentle pet. Is he blinking, or is this a flinch?… I suppose the second one...

I honestly don’t pay very much mind to Rango when I am misting his cage. My main focus is watering his plants and whatnot. Today, I caught sight of a rather interesting response from my Veiled Chameleon (who, clearly, is NOT a fan of the evil mist). I’m sure this reaction is normal, but I...

Right now, my pathetic plant collection in Rango’s cage consists of a lively schefflera and a medium-sized fern. It’s enough to provide drinking surfaces and a few hiding spots… but it’s definitely bare minimum. I’m looking to buy a few more veiled-friendly plants (mainly Pothos for ceiling...

I watered Rango a bit late today, as I had taken a nap and completely forgotten to wake up on time (not to worry, it was only an hour or so). 😅 Anyway— I tried snapping a picture of Rango’s sleeping colors and cute little closed “-“ eyes, but it turned out that he was looking right back at me...

After hearing an odd sound, I caught a short video of Rango sneaking his snack after I set down a few leftover treats. He’s willing to walk up to me and feed from a cup in my hand, but he gets shy sometimes. 😅 (Please excuse the quality… I have no idea what happened!)
