Well my female vieled who I've been treating basically since the word go has today been diagnosed with psuedomonus :( She has a deep absys on her snout which now looks like a third eye. The vet says pretty much all I can do clean it with F10 and cross my fingers because this kind of infection is...

I own a couple of microscopes and I've had a little patch of shed skin sat in a testube for ages that I've been meaning to look at. Finally I've had the time to get the scopes out and have a look! This skin is quite old now, at least a few months and it still has quite a lot of opalessence going...

My wife just came down from the snake room saying she'd seen one of my Vieleds trying to sleep while the lights are on. She suggested that "it'd be dark by now where they come from" Now I knew about the twelve hour photo period but I hadn't aimed to get it in sync with Saudi! lol So it's been...

I spray my veiled chams once, sometimes twice a day but if it's likely to be of benefit to my chams I'd like to change the way I do things. I see people here mention under enclosure drainage. Is it better for my chams if I dream up a watering system that actually makes it rain in there for them...

I'm about ready to get my Veileds out of thier fairly small enclosures and into the three foot herpteks I have available. I was about to get started when it occured to me that the herpteks are actually about a foot lower down than what they've been used to. That said, there's LOADS more room in...

I've been looking at ways of producing at least some of my own cham food. I had some Sunbeetles ages ago and remembered that the larvae from those guys were huge!! So I had a look on some lizard food sites and sure enough, they ARE sold as lizard food. Firstly, am I right in thinking fruit...

Could any UK residents here put some links in this thread as to where you get your food please? I've only managed to find giant mealworms, mealworms, black crickets, Ethiopian crickets and wax worms so far and I feel like I'm missing something for my Veileds. Does anyone here keep beetles for...

I was feeding my chams today, (Phylis my female is getting much better by the way. She responded very well to the Baytril) when I went into Ralph's enclosure he was already very excited lol Since I started hand feeding them he has been the one to come rushing over to me now and then which is...

My Veiled chameleons are really getting some bulk to them now! Phylis my female is getting better now aswell after an upper resp infection which is great :) Anyway.... This starbursting malarky. When in the chameleon's lifeline does this occur then? What sort of size/age? And how does it...

I'm reviewing my husbandry after an upper resp tract infection of my female. I'm finding different caresheets saying different things unfortunately. Can you guys and girls comment on enclosure conditions for me please? I've just read one that says to avoid exposing them to humid conditions! I...

Is it just me, or is this moniter VASTLY overfed?! Moniters are supposed to be sleek and fast!? This poor thing looks like an elephant!!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQwvtFNCJAI These people are a big shop too. I think I'd turn around and walk away at the sight of this moniter.... Or...

My female chameleon (veiled) has a small lump on her head between the eyes that wasn't there yesterday. I'm thinking it's a cricket bite maybe. I'll photograph it in a minute to show you. Has anyone else ever had a cricket bite thier chameleon? Do you have a picture you could show me please? I...

In my quest for the best tongue shooting image I can get, I captured this the other day....... I didn't know the normal looking tip of the tongue actually bends right back over and the sticky bit is then presented! How interesting is that ! Yet again my beautiful little chams surprise me...

I'd be very interested to see a chameleon's bone structure image or video after noticing some of the uncomfortable looking poses my two get themselves into! lol Being all double jointed is obviously a handy thing to be when you climb a lot! Can anyone link to anything that might show the joint...

My (fairly newly accuired) veiled chameleons seem to retain a little skin on and around thier heads and casques after a shed. Little Phylis my female has had this happened on her latest shed and it's still there nearly two weeks later. I've been careful to maintain proper humidity. I've showered...

Are there any UK forum members here that can suggest an online place where I can get suitable sand for my Veiled chamelion please? I know I need a non lime "soft" play type sand but I'm not sure where to start really ! I have various places near me where I could potentially purchase suitable...

My male Veiled was in the full throes of his shed the other day and unlike my female on the last shed, looked to be doing what I'd expect, rubbing himself on a brance and making some effort to remove the skin. Both his eyes had big flappy bits of skin getting in his way as I offered some food...

I've noticed my male veiled chameleon looks a bit wrinkly. He's shedding at the moment so when I first spotted it I assumend it was that. After all, my snakes go wronkley when in shed too. Now I've just seen him turning to his side and I saw he's looks very wrinkly!! That's not the begining...

I didn't know that it's not just the colour changing that makes these guys invisible ( also didn't know they actually CAN do invisible) it's also the fact they can contort thier bodies into such weird shapes aswell!? They can utterly change thier outline AND change thier colour. I found a foot...

I know you'll all have seen these a milliuon times but this one is MY little darling lol This is Phylis my female Veiled. If anyone could comment on potential age that would be very useful. Based on what I've read about growth rates I'd put her at three months or so. What do you think? My male...
