Hi all,
It's been several years since I posted to this forum but I still lurk and remember the good ole days when I had chameleons.
I'm a college student at the moment though which means I can't really keep any, due to the completely unpredictable housing situations I'm in. Maybe one day when...

I'm going away to college soon, and I need someone to take my veiled. I just need him to go to somebody who knows how to care for him. I've tried facebook with little to no response.
His name is Patch, but I don't care...
This is my new male veiled. ChamEO adopted out Churchill at the reptile super show- so I got this boy from LLLReptile today.
I just set up all the things in his cage, the ficus, his branches, the mister, lights, and the works. He already ate a hornworm and drank some water, is basking, and shot...
Okay, after Jann recommended I adopt from ChamEO, I realize I need to have my enclosure up and running before I can adopt or take my shot at adopting.
Can anyone help me out? I'm very out of the loop since it's been around a year since I did any chamshopping.
I need help finding what is...
Has chameleon information changed very much since the last year? Does anyone have any opinions that have really changed over time since a year? I'm looking to get another chameleon and already have experience with 3, and have my enclosure all ready for plants and things. I am thinking of buying...
I have been inactive here on the forums for quite a while, mainly due to my lack of chameleons in my house. But I thought it would be nice if I shared this thing I wrote in memory of my passed chameleon.

I am sad that I have not been able to...
I am sorry to inform you all of this.
Around midday yesterday he passed. He showed zero signs of illness until right before his death, and my father called me while I was at school to inform me. I rushed home afterwards but it was already too late to do anything.
I am ordering a necropsy...
I think I may call him Tingo. Not sure why, it just sounds cute to me.
Anyway here is a new picture.
Here is the cage photo. Finally got it all put together again.
Humidity stays in well. He gets 3 mistings a day and 2 through the night, since that is what I read, that they need...
Found this guy at Amazon Reptile for 65$. He was CB, as they told me, at least.
I love my new precious baby. I am glad to be the owner of my new Werner's. That was the first time I've ever seen one in real life!
As of now I am caring for him like I would a Jackson's Chameleon, since he is...
Here is my collection of everything I can show you currently of Monty. He was a good boy. If this belongs somewhere else in the forums, please do move it. I am not good with those things. I believe it fits here in the photography/media section.

I have neglected to take Monty to the vet because he seemed to be recovering well.. Basking and eating like normal and exploring his cage. It seemed he was back to his normal self completely. His tail was even slightly functional and started to use it again.
Sadly this morning he was hanging...
So I touched his tail over a couple days between this posting and my last posting. Every day it was improving, and recently he has been able to move both the tip and the base of his tail, but cannot move the middle very much.
As for his behavior, monty has become active as he used to be, and...
Hello all.
Monty has not fallen since a couple months ago. There is no bruising or swelling on him. His tail is only slightly darker than the rest of him.
It hangs sort of limp with a curl at the end, but he doesn't move it at all. This maybe explains why he hasn't been moving the past day...
For the past couple days, he has been sort of lethargic, but shows no symptoms of anything other than his pre-existing MBD. He basks and explores like normal, but has been refusing to eat more than 2-3 bugs per day. Today he refused to eat at all, remained his sleeping colors, and slept. All...
A while ago I sent an email to the local animal control and police, discussing this
https://www.chameleonforums.com/what-do-i-do-help-131390/
with them.
I was out a couple days ago and saw the animal control truck parked in front of that very pet store.
Just hoping they took me...
There is a pet store in my local area that I go to for crickets sometimes, and just when I am bored I look at the kittens they have.
But today...
I saw this veiled.
They had a bearded dragon in a cage before, with sand in the bottom, and it constantly had 20~ crickets in it and poop...
Recently Monty has been going through phases where every couple of days, his tongue isn't sticky, or his aim is slightly off.
This might be a side effect of the MBD or there is something else going on. But it is on and off.
I am saving money (I am quickly on my way to around 400$) and am...
