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!)
A double-rare moment captured on camera: Rango facing forward AND using both of his eyes to look at me! 💚 (this took several shots since he kept looking away 😅)
Poor Rango was confused as to why I was poking the tongs at him… a roach had somehow escaped his bowl as I was feeding him and decided to crawl onto his face 😂 right in his blind spot, too!
Good news: Rango is eating! He’s been willingly walking to his cup as I offer it to him and even placing his little foot on the rim of it. ❤️
A brief handling session took place today because he couldn’t be in the cage while I removed his fake moss vines (those apparently aren’t good for him)…...
As I’ve excitedly been posting, Rango is now in a new, very large and improved cage (XL reptibreeze//2x2x4).
I already knew it was coming… but Rango is not eating. In an attempt to not stress him as he adjusts, I have been setting a bowl of mixed bugs (roaches & 1–2 superworms as they cannot...
Hey everyone,
Rango’s new cage is finally done!! Here is its current setup. Keep in mind, I’m going to add/fix the following:
- Shower curtain (hold in humidity)
- Add stand on bottom
- Add tray on bottom to collect water
- Purchase chameleon-friendly (potted) plants to add on the bottom...
Hey, Cham fam!
Unfortunately, I have to travel out to the screen repair shop tomorrow morning in order to disassemble my own cage. The man who was meant to be repairing it was not confident in his ability to reassemble the cage after repairing it, so it turns out… he never even started it...
Hey everyone!
I am rearranging my bedroom to make room for my veiled’s new cage. Unfortunately, this meant I had to handle Rango as I didn’t want him to be in his tank while I moved it.
Anyway… every time I handle him, he leaves tiny scratches that get incredibly irritated within minutes. Is...
Hey, everyone!
Rango’s new cage has been dropped off as a screen repair shop, due to the condition of the cage. It should be ready in a day or two!
Anyway… Because of such a major environmental change, I’m worried that Rango may not be able to climb as well or that he may fall because of the...
