I agree with everything you wrote syreptyon and you seem very knowledgeable about chameleon care. But I just had one question. You dust the food every feeding with regular non D3 calcium? I’m pretty sure that I read on here over the last two years that once a week was the required amount of...

Herbert misjudged his drop and it lead to this funny epic fail.

Herbert playing on his playground

So Herbert's diagnosis ended up being chromatophoromas, not papillomas. My vet sent me a copy of the report that he received from the company that did the biopsy. The good news is that it's not papilloma and they don't think that they're cancerous. The bad news is that he'll most likely get...

So I'm reporting back with some exciting news. The bulb that I started using back in June (when I started this thread) is still going strong! I never had one last 4 months before, so bending the bronze contact to a 45 degree angle actually fixed the problem! I still have the 3 extra ones that...

Herbert is about a year old now and still has that yellow spot on his side, so I decided to take him to the vet for a checkup. I searched the list of reptile vets in Pennsylvania and found one a couple miles away. He also used to live a couple houses down the street from the house I grew up in...

Yeah. I've seen a few stories on here about people losing them outside. I'll keep a keen eye on him while he's out there. I doubt that he'll be able to really get off of the deck, but I'm more worried about him falling off of the side if anything. He could get through the railing if he really...

So I spent the last week moving into a new house. It has a nice 12'x25' deck on the second level, so the first thing that I did was buy Herbert a little hibiscus tree. He of course loves it. I opened his cage and he ran to the glass sliding door like he normally does. So I opened the glass...

A 16" male veiled chameleon behind the tire of an electric "power wheels" kids car. I never really thought of the picture like that until I read your post!

I took care of a 13 foot albino Burmese Python for 4 years. We would take her outside to play in the grass. Her normal colors were yellow and white, but if she got too much sun, she would turn pink and be "sunburnt" for a little while. My advice would be to monitor them and look for signs of sun...

Just be careful! We don't have any cats, dogs, or anything that could harm him. He will also surprise us from time to time and explore a new spot, instead of just going to one of his favorites. It took me a few minutes to find him when he crawled up into the car, instead of hiding under it. He...

We went with "Herbert" for the name of our veiled. Here's a pic on the first day that we got him and then a current one 11 months later. We love our Herbert and many people have complimented us on his name (y)

They grow really quickly, Usain Bolt fast. I also had the 16x16x30 and moved him into a 24x24x48 at 5-6 months. Mine is 11 months old and is at around 16" from head to tail. From what I've read, they'll get to be 24 inches in the wild, but may not grow to be that size in captivity. Keep up the...

My male veiled also walks along the bottom of his cage and paces from side to side. Whenever I see him doing that, I know that he wants out (it happened more and more as he got older). So whenever my wife and I are home, we normally let him out and he'll go exploring for hours. He lived in a...

I had the pleasure of growing a 9ft female albino Burmese Python to a 13ft one over the course of 3-4 years while I was in college. It took a lot of large feeder rats and rabbits. It was my fraternity's mascot - Sigma Nu Snakes! She was very friendly and we took her outside and put her on the...

I hope it's not papilloma. I've seen some nasty photos of that. If it gets ANY larger instead of going away, I'll get him checked out asap.

It is raised a little bit. But I'll keep monitoring it like I've been doing. Was kind of hoping that someone could identify what it actually is, and then I could take action. But I'll hope that it shrinks or comes off next shed. @jajeanpierre @jannb ever see a spot like this?

It's the little yellow bump that's dead center in the first and second photo. Here is a cropped version of the first photo. Like I said, I'm hoping that it's just normal "wear and tear", but just looking to see if anyone else has dealt with them on their Cham. We interact with him a lot and it...

My veiled is from petco and has always been perfectly healthy. I kind of felt bad for him in that little glass box, so I bought him and gave him a great life thus far. He's now a big happy 11 month old boy! So I'm personally not against it at all, and looked at it as adopting him and giving him...

I noticed a little yellow spot on the side of my veiled chameleon. I've been monitoring it for about a week now, and it hasn't grown any larger, but I wanted to see if anyone knows what it could be. It's definitely not a piece of dead/shedding skin. His mood, appetite, drinking, and everything...
