Hi Everyone, I'm thinking about getting or making a display cage for my cham Mtumbo. What are the pros and cons of making a cage vs. buying one? Thanks!

I'm building my male veiled chameleon a custom cage and I've heard that there needs to be a specific type of screen that is needed for it. What type of screen is this? Thanks! Chris

Thanks for the advice guys!

Hey everyone, I have a male veiled chameleon who is about one year old. He lives in an extra large repit breeze and has been having shedding problems. I know that his cage isn't humid enough. I try my best to keep it humid but living in a place like Denver, CO where we consider 5% humidity to...

Do your two chameleons ever get in fights or anything like that being in the free range setup?

I'll be sure to give those tips a try and give an update! Eventually...

Hey Everybody, Any tips on how to make a golden pothos climb up sticks in a screen cage? Thanks in advanced! Chris

Does covering up the sides of the cages affect the ventilation too much? I live in Colorado so I'm always looking for ways to trap in the humidity!

Hey Everyone, I'm a little overwhelmed with all of the lighting options out there. My cham isn't experiencing any health problems or anything like that. I currently heave him under a Reptile UVB 100, 26 watt, CFL from Exo Terra (mostly for the UVB), and a Power Sun Mercury Vapor UV 100 watt...

Well the trip to the vet went well! She said that he is probably just having trouble adjusting to his new, larger cage. She gave me some tips on how to make it easier for him. Such as putting a blanket on one side of the cage so he feels more secure. I'll let you guys all know how it goes!

Now that you mention it, I think he is falling in the same spot and the branches are different.

Here is a picture of him asleep. Up until recently this was what he looked like most of the time.

He's fallen 4 or 5 times in the past week and has never fallen before. I guess that could be part of adjusting to the new cage... But it's been almost a week since I transferred him into his new cage. His grip seems pretty good when I handle him.

I was able to get one of my roommates to take some pictures of Matumbo with their phone. He is only that color during the day and goes back to a very good looking green at night while he sleeps. Is that normal for a cham to go back to healthy color while they sleep? I'm not sure about his...

I've used two UVB 5.0 bulbs so far I think. I've only been using calcium with D3 so that could be the problem. I'll be sure to mention that to the vet and look into getting some regular calcium. Thanks!

I don't have a camera to take pictures unfortunately.

Hi my name is Chris. This is my first post on here so I hope this is the right place for it. I think my veiled chameleon Matumbo may have MBD. I have some info about him, his symptoms and my setup below. Chameleon Info: Matumbo - Matumbo is a male veiled chameleon who is about 11 months...
