I think the common metal rectangle cham cage is functional, but aesthetically boring, so I was trying to come up with clever ways to make a tall, well ventilated, beautifully lit enclosure that wouldn't look like complete garbage in my apartment (I am TERRIBLE at construction) when I realized...
Good evening! I'm a cham enthusiast and I just moved out to Girdwood, AK. Naturally, I left all my herps at home in CO (four veileds, ball python, and a juvenile caiman) until I figured out how living out here was going to work out. Girdwood is a pretty tiny town about an hour south of...
My male veiled cham has terrible MBD. I know this takes weeks or months to develop, but it honestly seems to have developed overnight. A few days ago he was chasing crickets all over the cage, now he can't even hold himself up or move in any direction. He lives in a 18x18x30 wire mesh cage...
There are tons of threads here about baby chams, but I couldn't find any pic-heavy threads with very old ones. I've seen people claim they have panthers and veileds that were 7+ years old - let's see em!
I was helping my wife find a new dining table at Ikea the other day when i started noticing that they pretty much had everything you'd need to put together a pretty sweet cham enclosure, so i made this. enjoy!

you may notice i'm better at taking care of chameleons than i am of ficus plants. :) everything you see here is included. and the chams are in excellent health. I got them at the Reptile Super Show in L.A., and they've been nothing short of spectacularly healthy. Very impressed.

I have a male and female pair of veiled chameleons in perfect shape. They're about 3 months old. The enclosures include the two cages, plants, 2 lamps with bulbs, a UV light bar, spray bottles, a cricket keeper, a dropper, full Herptivite AND calcium dusters, and all are in perfect shape...
My 1 year old veiled laid 43 eggs in december. since then her and the male have been seperate, but she's recently gotten huge and she's doing that not-eating thing again. could she be pregnant again? i've read about "reciprocal sperm" getting chams that haven't mated pregnant again in a short...
we started out on a budget because we had just moved to the USA. now we're a little better off. i think we could handle raising the offspring, but i don't think it's what we'll be doing, as most of them will be gifts. having another 43 mouths to feed was actually a surprise. when we started...
from what i've gathered here, my veiled cham eggs should be kept at roughly 68-74 degrees and at 95%+ humidity, but when i ran a search about mold problems, most of the advice is to dry them out. can anyone clarify this for me?
