We bought our first grasshoppers today. We has been introducing them to our veiled Thomas and he was curious but a bit nervous, so he hasn't eaten any yet. Just fifteen minutes ago we decided to put them in the largest container we have, because they are really hard to get out of a smaller one...

Okay, so our darling veiled Thomas has been on a food strike for a month. We've been able to seduce him into eating at least a few crickets and other insects by holding out carrots, cucumber, and courgette, but I can tell you it has been one of the worst months of my life. I looked at all...

Hi everyone, Our 9-month-old veiled Thomas has been doing incredibly well since he's been with us, up until his most recent shedding. First, his head fully shed, and as his belly began there seemed to be some stagnation. This was a week and a half ago. He's been on food strike ever since, and...

Hi everyone, I just bought two new plants today that I thought looked nice, hoping to put them in Thomas's vararium. If they're not okay, I'll just keep them in the living room. I've been trying to find out if they can be put near chameleons, but I haven't found anything on the forums or...

Hi guys, (I wrote this topic this morning, but I've added some information about my chameleon and his terrarium. Sorry for not doing that earlier!) I just checked the temperature in Thomas's flexarium, and I noticed that his ribs were kind of sticking out and that he has a little lump on the...

I had already posted an emergency question earlier today, but I think it's still good to introduce myself. My name is Zinzy, and together with my fiancé I have a six-month-old veiled chameleon named Thomas. We only got him yesterday. I had been thinking of getting a chameleon for a few years...

Hi everyone! I am new here, and bought a 6-month-old male Jemen chameleon yesterday. For as long as I can remember I was under the impression that a chameleon needed a basking light because it couldn't regulate its own temperature. Yesterday, when purchasing the chameleon and all the...
