Today while my chameleon was out getting some sun, he got his stuck between two branches. When I got him out I noticed he had scraped some skin off of his veil. Not a big scratch at all. Is there anything I need to put on it or should I let it heal naturally?

For the last several days my 1 year old male veiled chameleon hasn't been eating many crickets. I offer him 5-7 large crix everyday. I have been cup feeding him for the last 6 months and he seems to like it, so usually when I come home and things haven't changed I let them go in the cage to see...

I just have a few issues with my enclosure. I have had my almost 1 year old male veiled chameleon in this enclosure for about 3 months now. It is the XL ZooMed Reptibreeze (2x2x4 i believe). Lately my plant (schefflera arboricola) has been shedding a lot of leaves, and over the last couple of...

So just a few minutes ago I witnessed Donnie (my 7 month old veiled) down in his plant eating something. I thought it may be a leaf off the schefflera or may be a cricket...but no, he was eating his own poo!! WTF?! Has anyone else ever heard of or seen such a thing?

I took Donnie to the vet last week and found out he had an intestinal parasite. The doctor prescribed Panacur to be given once a week for 4 weeks. The first time I administered it he tried to bite me, so it was easy to put a drop in his mouth. Lately I have been handling him more because I dont...

So yesterday I took Donnie to the vet to get a fecal and check for parasites. The tests came back with a positive for parasites. The Doc said they were nematodes (ascarids), does any have any more info on these? He prescribed Panacur to be given once a week for 4 weeks. Has anyone used this...

I finally got a mist king!! How would one go about mounting this on a screen cage? I don't want to have to put a hole in the screen (as I have found out crickets are crafty escape artists) but I see that it may be the only option. Anybody else out there with a mistking and screen cage set up?

My chameleon has been acting very strange for the last couple of days now. He is climbing up the back of the cage towards the UVB bulb. Like putting his nose right up against the top mesh. It seems to have turned his head more greyish. And as im writing this he just started opening and closing...

So today I'm going to tackle the job of cleaning the cham cage really good. The only problem I have is that Donnie does not like to be handled. I've had him for over a month now and I attempt to handle him every couple days, but he just runs to the bottom of the cage and hides. Does anybody have...

I have had my chameleon for 4 days now and i have recently noticed this white scaly-ness on his front right leg. Any advice? Here is a pic of it and just some misc ones too for overall evaluation.

So I have had my chameleon for 3 days now, and everyday I feed Dr. Gonzo all 20 or so crickets scamper to the top of the enclosure for a meeting in the corner. They stay there all day and Gonzo only eats the ones unfortunate enough to be caught on the side. So do I leave them up there or knock...

My male veiled chameleon came in today from TikiTiki Reptiles and he is a striking young chap if I say so myself. I will post pics soon. But my first question is how should I go about feeding him to minimize stressing Dr. Gonzo out. A cup or just let some crickets loose in the cage. Thanks...

My first setup for my soon to be veiled. Any advice would be great! -Baylor

Hello everyone. I am in the process of setting up my first cage, and I have picked up a wreath and broken it down to smaller sticks. What is the best way to sanitize it? Also, same with the fake and live(pothos) plants/vines.

Hey everyone i'm just about to step foot into the chameleon world for the first time in a month or so. and im trying to get the cage setup and ready for the arrival of my male veiled. Would a fogger work to keep up humidity or should I spend the money to get a mistking? And how often do I...
