You should look into getting a taller cage. Aquarium plants should be fine, jsut make sure you clean them before putting them in. You need two lights, one basking light, one uvb light. Look for the reptisun 5.0/10.0 uvb long tube style lights, and a basking light usually from 60-90w depending on...

most likely hued lens then, notice all the colors are "cool" colors. whites are light blues and yellows are greenish

i use chamalot chameleons king kricket feast and flukers water gel w/ calcium. imho worth it and because the gutload is dry, it doesn't rot as easily as fresh foods.

what kind of uv light is it? in the past some uv lights have caused eye problems for chameleons so most people just stick to the (uvb) reptisun/glo 5.0/10.0 long tube style

it would be best if you answered that quick questionaire for people to be able to give you more specific help. two things you said most people will jump on you about is the UVA light and you said "tank" don't know much about yemens, but uvb light with basking light and screen cage tends to be...

shopped or hued lens, branch looks blue too.

just a fast fact, they use it to make dynamite.

Something that made my life way easier, chamalot chameleons king kricket feast. I was leary about creating my own gutload for the crickets I keep for fear of screwing it up. I don't mean to sound like an advertisement but, I've used their cricket gutload since she was 4 months old (year and a...

is the cage near a vent or in a breezy location? i cant see how getting the full cage wet wouldnt raise humidity unless air is blowing through it.

i'd say that it is really common considering how many cham owners don't know what they are getting into and will visit a site like this only until after their chameleon has the disease. petstores like petsmart regularly stock chams in the summer (i usually see about 10 to 20 juveniles for sale...

picture looks as though her neck is bulging a little too, i've heard of hypervitamintosis causing edema, or something like that. It's directly related to supplementing vitamin A rather than beta carotene. Basically saying its best not to supplement vit a, and just give beta carotene...

i live in a desert, El Paso Texas. So I bought a mistking. expensive but amazing. Currently I have it on a timer to go off every hour except for 3 hours before bed. It goes off for a minute at a time, with 2 of the mistings for 3 minutes. It keeps the humidity up. Also I had a custom cage built...

good point about the fall. Since i rarely handle her i probably would not have noticed. Also I dust crickets, but usually don't with superworms just cause they calcium heavy, definately will be dusting the worms now too. I was honestly afraid of over doing it, but I guess so long as it isn't...

The crickets could also be too big. If you get crickets from petstore, alot of the time "small" isn't really all the small. I've ordered 4 week old crickets that look smaller than a pet stores "small" crickets. Try getting some smaller crickets from an online cricket ranch like flukers or...

So about a week and a half ago my one and a half year old veiled female fell from about 3 feet high to the bottom of her enclosure. Immediately I rushed to see what was the matter and noticed her grip (and bite) strength was not where it should be. Of course the first thing one jumps to is MBD...

veiled cham in el paso here

is she ok? has she come out at all yet? is it possible it collapsed?

you didn't mention any uvb lights. most often people will use two seperate lamps. one for basking, and a uvb lamp. also you said she still has some skin leftover from a shed. i noticed that with my chameleon, taking her out in natural sunlight sped up her shedding everytime. not sure if this was...

the verdict is in, she finished a couple hours ago and i cleared away the dirt to find 69 eggs!
