Hi All,
I just went a picked up a female Veiled Chameleon that I had intended to mate with my male. She is 2.5 years old and is in the worst shape that I have ever seen in a cham. Her legs are swollen and she can't hang on to anything. I tried giving her water but she wouldn't have anything...
Hi, I just noticed that my Larry has a bump on his nose and one of his eye turrets is swoolen. Does anyone know what this could be? He's still eating and sunning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, I knew I should have put his info down first. He has free range of pretty much 3 sets of windows, but he only really stays in two of them. Both sets of windows have UVB lighting and two different heat lamps with temps ranging from 85-95 degrees. Two windows are south facing and his...
Hi All,
I have a 9 month old Veiled Cham. I was wondering if it is normal for them to miss sometimes when they are zapping their food? Larry will miss once in a while and other times he'll miss like 5-6 out of 10. I had a veiled before, years ago and he never had this problem. He has fallen...
When he falls asleep on me I do not touch him. I set my hand in my lap and try to stay as still as possible. When ever a cricket crawls on him he puffs himself up, I have never seen him shake to get one off. LOL It's like he is saying How dare you crawl on me!

The tank I have him in is very temporary. He will be going into a screened cage soon. I never handle him more than once or twice a day usually in the afternoon and evening. When I hold him during the day he does the leaf walk. He walks sits and walks, his color is almost always bright green...
Thanks!! :D He doesn't have any threads on him anywhere. It just really scared me when he started with the head shaking because is was almost like a tremor or something. It just didn't look right. Thank you for your help!!
He was on my clothes too. Arms, back and neck, most of my clothing is cotton, rayon and polyester. I don't have anything that is fuzzy. LOL I am going through menopause so I don't even wear sweaters anymore. Just t-shirts, long sleeves and tank tops. Does this help?
I just checked him...
Hi Alphakenc,
No I have never seen him right after his lights come on. My husband is going to build him a screened cage as soon as it gets a bit warmer here in Michigan. I had planned on getting a small computer fan to put in the bottom of his cage for the time being, to get the air to move...
Hi,
I am new on here and I have a 2 1/2 month old Veiled Chameleon. His nick name is Larry, short for Lawrence of Arabia. I have him housed in a 20 gal long standing on end with a heat lamp with a basking spot of 85 degrees and a uvb light. I am misting him 2 x a day, the whole tank just...
