    Male Veiled Chameleon

    Due to an upcoming move I am in need of a good home for my male veiled, Moe. I am in no real hurry to place him but it would be nice to get him into a knowledgable home by the time the temperature's drop to around 65 degrees at night (when I bring him inside for the rest of fall and the winter)...

    Safe night temperature for veiled...

    It's a beautiful day here today so I moved Moe's enclosure outside so he can get some natural rays. It's supposed to be in the 70's again tomorrow and I would like him to be outside for that as well. I'm contemplating leaving his enclosure outside tonight but it's supposed to get down to the low...

    Typical male veiled length...

    I got Moe last year in February and I was estimating him at 2 months. So, if that is correct, that would put him just over a year now. Measuring him, he measures approximately 8 inches snout to vent and add tail he measures approximately a total of 16 inches (it's hard to be accurate with a...

    Showering

    I put Moe in the shower five minutes ago. He is starting to shed again and since he had a hard time last time he shed, I thought I would help him out from the very beginning with a nice shower (especially since the heat is on in the house and therefore the air is already dryer than normal). My...

    Shedding issues?

    Moe has been shedding for at least four days now. It seems to be taking a lot longer than usual and he seems to be having difficulty getting the dead skin off of him. I have misted him to try and help and I believe I'll be giving him a shower today hoping that will help. Is there anything else...

    Keeping Cham In Tree

    Moe has recently decided that it would be interesting to venture from his tree after taking a few chomps of some leaves. He was like a child today. I had to take him off of the plant light that he managed to get on, then caught him off his tree and climbing on the bucket to his RainDome, and...

    AquaZamp RainDome

    I finally got it all hooked up and am pleased with it. Moe was more interested in getting out of the cage and on to his tree and could almost care less about the rain/mist. The three year old I live with (roommates kid) seemed the most interested. As a drainage system I drilled several small...

    Moe and his Willow tree.

    I had opened up his cage today and handfed him some hornworms. He ate a couple and then crawled straight on my hand, up my arm, and to his Willow tree. I guess he wanted to spend some time in it so, I took the opportunity to take some pictures. I'm now wanting a REAL camera as all I'm using...

    Being a Chameleon...

    First off, not sure if this should be here or in the picture forum (as it mentions video in the description). So, hopefully I guessed right. I let Moe hang out outside his enclosure this morning. I first put him on his Camellia but he didn't want to hang out on it so I transfered him to his...

    Large Improvement

    So I went on a spending spree for Moe yesterday and wanted to share his updated enclosure pictures. I think it is pretty much done, all I'm waiting for now is the Rain Dome I ordered and I need to get some lighting done for the two trees. First, a before picture... (Taken outside but always been...

    Plant Light

    What do you guys use to help keep your plants alive? The cage was outside all summer so the plants were fine then but since it is getting cool at night now I brought everything inside. I don't want the plants dieing off this fall and winter so I was wondering if there is another bulb I should...

    Are you trying to hand feed?

    I have successfully fed Moe now every day by hand for approximately five days or so. I thought I would share a possible coaxing method. I started off slowly limiting his cricket intake as he was addicted to them. At this time I also moved my hand throughout the enclosure during the day, not...

    Mood Swings?

    Does anybody else's Cham seem indecisive when it comes to their mood? Moe used to be laid back but had to be coaxed on my hand to be held. I only successfully hand fed him once or twice as well. Then the one night I woke him and he was livid (understandable). The next couple of days he was his...

    Don't wake the sleeping Cham...

    I learned a valuable lesson the other night. Sitting out hurrican Irene and had a tornado warning. Everybody and every critter was taken to the safest place in the house and only Moe was left, who was asleep. I woke him in attempt to take him out of his cage and put him in a carrier. Well, he...

    How big?

    I was curious to how big approximately my chameleon should be right now. I'm estimating him to be 8 months, give or take a month. Bought him at a pet store so not sure when exactly he was born. He is a veiled chameleon. Also, what is the correct way to measure him? Do you include the tail or no...

    Has anybody fed...

    I have tons of Microcentrum Rhombifolium or Katydids around my lights at night. They are the grasshoppers that look like green leaves wihen they are just sitting there. Has anybody ever collected these and fed them to thier chameleon? I got the idea last night after seeing them that I could...

    Outside eating habits.

    Moe's has been outside since the night of the 24th and has not been back inside since the weather has not been an issue. I do not have his basking or UB lights on the cage and they haven't been on it since he has been outside. I was wondering if anybody else has seen eating habit changes with...

    Outside at night?

    Does anybody keep their chameleon outside at night? It's supposed to get down to 66 tonight and be 82 tomorrow. I don't really see much of a reason to bring him inside other than the chance of rain is 50%. However, he could probably benefit from a little shower. His cage is on my porch and there...
