Hi guys, Last week, I setup the outdoor screen cage for my veiled chameleon so that he can get some sun. This, unfortunately, means that I have to move him between cages. I have attempted this twice and on both occasions he totally freaks out and will deliberately run / jump / fall off the...

I have done a lot of reading here on the forums and searching Google, but am still having a hard time settling on a supplementation schedule for my new chameleon. The facts: Chameleon: ~6 month old male veiled The supplements I have available to me: calcium w/o D3, zoomed calcium w/ D3, and...

Hello all, I got my veiled chameleon in the mail on Tuesday... I managed to find an ~6 month-old male fro ma small breeder and have been very happy with the little guy. He has been stressed out and has just shown his normal coloration today... Probably helped by me adding coroplast to 3 sides...

Hello all, I will be getting my male veiled shipped next Thursday and want to have a selection of feeders ready to go when he arrives. I already have dubia, but want to also get some superworms and hornworms to start with. Locally, I have very few options for feeders so I'd like to order...

hello all, I am having my chameleon shipped to me next week. I have almost all of my supplies ready to go but am considering getting a misting system as well. I understand that there are issues with the timer on some of the misting systems and was wondering if a digital timer could be used...

Hello all, I went shopping today and picked up some organic veggies to make a large batch of gut load to use with superworms, roaches, and crickets (in addition to a quality dry formula). I'd like your opinions on what I purchased and what I can add when I make up the next batch. Also...

Hello all, I've done a little more digging on my feeding plan and have decided that I will be adding super worms (in addition to dubia) as a staple and hornworms / silks as a treat. That said, I know variety is a good thing and I've found a couple roach species with care very similar to my...

Hello all, After reading the care sheets on this forum, I ordered most of the supplies for my veiled chameleon setup. I found a good deal on a lighting fixture on ebay (holds 2, T5HO 22" 24 watt bulbs) and purchased a reptisun T5HO 5.0 bulb from petco. I also ordered my cage from that site...

I'm considering using helix snails as one of my 3-4 staple feeders and wanted input on whether this would be a good idea. The other primary feeders I am going to be using will be dubia, superworms, and either silkies or hornworms. I'd appreciate your feedback on amount of these guys I'd expect...

Hello all, I am experimenting with my setup and checking the running temps / humidity levels before I bring home my first chameleon. I am pretty sure that I will be ordering a juvie (~3 mo) veiled, but haven't ruled out a panther of the same age yet. I've done a good bit of reading and have...

Hello all, I've done a little more research and have decided that a juvie / sub adult veiled might be the best choice for my first cham. I think that I would feel more comfortable starting with a slightly older / larger specimen vs. getting a younger animal and have had multiple people tell me...

hello all, I am planning on purchasing my first chameleon within the next 3 months and would like your opinions on which additional feeder would be the best for chams and easiest to "keep" (either breed or keep long-term). I currently have a dubia colony, but know that additional food sources...

Hello all, I am in the process of tweaking my first chameleon setup and had a question regarding misting systems. I have always shied away from using automated misters because of the need to use RO water to prevent the system breaking down over time. In my local area, there are no sources for...

Hello all, I am getting my supplies list together for my first setup and wanted your advice. I am planning on setting up an XL reptibreeze enclosure for a veiled chameleon. I will list my setup ideas and the items I'm intending to buy below and would appreciate any advice you can give. I am...

Hello all, I am new to the forum and to chameleons.. I have all of my other reptiles on bio active setups and am considering getting a chameleon, but would want to keep it bioactively with substrates, etc. Are there any screen enclosures that come with a bottom that would hold substrate or...

Hello all, This is my first post to the forum, although I've been lurking around for a while. I've owned reptiles for several years and keep many different species (boas, pythons, skinks, geckos, tree frogs, etc.) but I've never owned a chameleon. This is mostly due to two things that scared...
