So on Sunday I moved, and Howard was the last thing I got out of my old apartment. I was in a bit of a hurry and he had been hanging out on his plant just fine for about 30 minutes, so I decided to just take him on his plant in the car while my girlfriend drove. He was fine for about the first...
I was just curious at about what age do veiled chams reach full potential in size and color? I realize that it is probably varied for individuals, but I was just curious what some experienced keepers thought.
I decided to rename my veiled chameleon Howard recently. I just think it's fitting for him. He likes to chill on a pothos hanging pot in my living room and doesn't mind being handled at all. He just finished shedding and I must say he is looking awesome. He seems to glow and has a random bright...
I originally decided to take this picture because he is having a problem with a shed at the moment. When i put my camera in the enclosure... which I haven't done in probably 2 months... he blew up for the first time. I was really happy I had the camera handy for the moment. Anyways, he started...
I took these pics yesterday... and he started his shed as soon as I put him back in his enclosure. I thought he was supposed to be ugly right before a shed? He sure wasn't.
It has been awhile since I have been able to post some pictures. Rivi has really come out and is starting to show some really cool patterns anpd BRIGHT colors. He is now just over 4 months and is already wow-ing every one who sees him, and to think that I was actually worried about his color...
I just saw these at the local pet store. They say they enhance your animals color. My guy is gray all the time, would this help? Anybody have any thoughts?
Thank you!
The problem is his casque is beginning to deform a little, and he never shows green coloration unless he is asleep or out of his enclosure.
here ya go.

This is my 2 month old male veiled that I got from Julirs. He has mastered dodging my camera, but I was finally able to get a few pictures. He is eating and drinking fine, and will rarely hide from me unless I am misting him (which he doesn't seem to like). Anyways enjoy the pics I worked hard...
I got my first chameleon today. He was bright green when I opened the box, but when I put him in his enclosure and misted him he obviously became stressed. He has been hanging out in the highest part in the corner of the enclosure. I've been trying to leave him alone so he can explore his new...
Here is my set up. I have had it up and running for about 3 weeks now and have worked out all the kinks with the basking temp. (85 F), ambient temp. (76 F ave.) and humidity (57% ave.). My juvenile veiled is coming on Friday and I just want to make sure his home is perfect for him. He has a...
I am building a stand for my enclosure and i was wondering if the type of wood I used mattered? I know not to use cedar but was wondering if there were any others I should steer clear of.
I haven't purchased my chameleon yet but I have a working enclosure that I have been using as if there were a chameleon in it. Every time I mist it the temperature drops to 71 - 69 F even in the basking area. Is this ok, or should I try to keep the temp up?
I've been doing my research for nearly two weeks on this amazing forum and today I finished my chameleons first home. I will be purchasing a baby male veiled chameleon in late August or early September. I am very excited, but I want to make sure everything is correct.
For lighting I am...
I was just curious to see if anyone knew where i could purchase an inexpensive 24" florescent bulb hood that works well for a reptisun 5.0 uvb bulb. The only pet store in my area is petco and sure enough it costs $55 there. Is this how much they usually are?
I plan on purchasing a juvenile male veiled chameleon, but I live in the midwest and during some months it will be impossible to give my cham natural sunlight. I also have purchased a reptisun 5.0 uvb bulb for him. My question is how should i supplement him? Should i use calcium no phosphorus...
