This happened to my veiled recently. He always forced himself through tight fits and his casque split at the top. The chunk ended up coming off so now he's a little misshapen, but it healed fine.
All fantastic choices. Beardies are super cool, and full of personality. Obviously you know chameleons are badass. I'd say if you got the space and money go with either of those. Leopard geckos are awesome as well if you are looking to save some space and money. It's really about how much you...
Got my little guy on St. Patrick's Day this year. Karma is his name. Ordered him from FLChams when he was 2-3 months old. Now he's about 6-7 months. Got a little burn on him but we're working on that. :)
Not a bad starter terrarium. I used a similar one for a while. However, substrate is a no no. And keeping them wet and hydrated is a huge part of keeping them healthy. Were you using supplements while feeding it? Also very important.
