study his habits. my 6 month veiled will go to the back of the cage if he doesn't wanna be bothered. if he's in the front on a branch its easier to coax him into handling.every time I've handled him its been when he's out and about, not perched under his basking light. from what I've absorbed...

where did you hear this?

aside from the horrible punctation, equally horrible advice

i seriously had to close the door to a small crack and peer in while my veiled wasn't looking to catch him drinking, when he knows I'm watching he gets embarrassed

how big is your enclosure? i raised my veiled from 4 weeks old and now he is 6 months. only in the last few weeks has he been cruising in the lower part of the cage. nothing else is strange but I'm upgrading the size this week. seems to me like he's bored and claustrophobic haha

Finally warming up to me a little. Still a little skiddish, but working on our handling...slowly haha.

Search "chameleons of Madagascar" on YouTube It's over an hour and I actually fell asleep. Pretty rad just a chameleon overload if there's even such a thing.

trioceros johnstonii (blurry) is more like it ;)

That's awesome!!!

where exactly is the temperature reading you're referencing? is it in the middle of a forest where obviously the humidity is higher? or is it from the top of a weather building where the general humidity is out in the open?

High 90's are wayyyyyyy too high for a juvenile. 80-84 MAX

You'd have to have all hanging plants.

I started hand feeding by first using a dubia roads on a kabob skewer. First I would use the skewer to place the roast on a branch in the middle of the cage. When he was towards the front I'd offer it to him a good body length away and wait until he came close. Eventually he got so excited he...

Good job on doing your research!

Would you mind posting the link to that kitchen cart? The link you put up are the reviews. Either way, nice set up!

I have a high output t5 UVB and a 6500k grow light so it's still pretty light. Opening the window with the light off is at 81. Window closed and the basking spot went to 87-90. All during fall the basking temp stayed at 82-85

It's been pretty hot in my house lately and my veileds ambient temp is around 80-82 I know a basking temp for a 3-4 month old should be around that so can I just keep his basking light off during mid day when it's hot?

Thanks! Perfect summary. I should be getting my spikes in a couple days. Can't wait!

what im stoked about is this will hold my 2x2x4 when i get it in a few months

so i had Cameron on a wire rack setup but it didnt sit very high plus i wanted him out of my room. A quick trip to home depot and a solid hour of sawing, measuring and drilling had a quick easy stand that is pretty low profile and portable! (already had to move the whole thing out of the house...
