I don't get why people say they're too "broke" to afford a VET.
The chameleon is your responsibility so you have to take care of him. It's lame how people try and be cheap with their animals. If you can't afford a small vet trip then how the hell did you think you'll be okay caring for an...
Theres only ONE species that I know of...Pygmies :)
Other than that, I would have to say you cannot keep more than one cham in one cage besides pygmies. One cham may be more dominant and eat all the food, leaving the other one stressed and starved. Fights could happen and both chameleons will...
Yay!!!
Thanks so much guys!
This morning I rearranged Tyson's enclosure which I made his basking spot hidden in a corner so he''ll feel safe and away from me. Now he's been basking the past 15 minutes. He's all flat out sitting sideways absorbing all the heat.
I'm so happy he's...
Thanks! This is another great response to answer my question. I'll def give him a more secured looking area.
At first I had TONS of foliage but he just hid all day so i cut down a few branches off his ficus tree. Which allowed him to move around allot more and get familiar with his cage. But...
Just figured out how to use these quotes haha but tomorrow i'll try and get some pictures. I'll do a before an after and hope for improvement.
I'll go ahead and give that a try tomorrow. I have a few fake plants that are not in use anyways. So you're saying your guys basking spot is like a...

I measure temps with digital + analog gauges.
I feel like he doesn't want to go near his basking spot at all. I had a 5.5" clamp lamp the first week, he didn't bother with it. Upgraded to a 8.5" hoping...
That could be a possibility. His basking spot is over looking the entire room...I don't want to move anything around or it'll stress him out, again. But pictures not at the moment but I can try and get some pictures tomorrow evening once I get off of work. Thanks for your concerns.

Hey everybody!
I'm new to the forums, and I'm interested in buying a baby veiled chameleon at petco. I just wanted to see if you guys could help me out to find out what he would look like when he grows up. I know its not recommended to buy chams from pet stores but I just wanted to know how...
