I went in to feed Tillman this afternoon and I noticed that while balancing on his branch, he was holding onto his hind leg. Now I've heard that holding their own legs is a bad sign. But he's never done this before and when I went to check in on him before leaving back to work, he was climbing...

I looked through some of the older posts for this one. Is it really a constant thing to have to deal with with a juvenile veiled? Tillman JUST started doing that and it's a constant having to make sure he doesn't fall. Not 100% sure how old Tillman is, so if anyone can take a guess I'd...

...when you are a male who bought a garden hat, secured vines on it, and wear it when your watching TV so your chameleon can climb around while feeling secure. My husband and his lil buddy Tillman.

Hi Cham fam. So we bought 100 crickets today from our local pet store that we've gotten them from before. Earlier I looked in saw a nasty looking spider in with them!! Me being the arachnophobic person I am, screeched at my husband about it. He killed the spider and its gone. Now my question...

Hi cham fam! I was wondering if daylight savings would affect Tillman's sleep schedule? I didn't think it would, but he's going to his "sleep spot" like 1.5 hours before his life gets go out. Everything is good with him health-wise (finally, thank God). The only difference has been having to...

So the hubs and I were watching Tillman explore his bigger habitat and hunt for crickets one evening when all of a sudden...Tillman just like charged at and then lunged at the fake foliage! He chomped a fake leaf and just tugged at it and then opened his mouth, let it go, and walked away. We...

So this started a day ago around Tillman's eyes. We've had him a month now so I'm guessing it's his first shed with us. I've read that misting more is helpful, but he's just getting over a RI so I don't know if that would be harmful for him. Any suggestions on how to help him during this time?

Well we in Southern California just finished our one week of winter. So pathetic. I think we had like 2 days of "rain". Supposed to have rain this week too. Anyone wanna take bets that it doesn't happen? I will never understand why people actually want to move to this state. Too bloody hot...

We took Tillman in to the vet today. He has been alternatingly closing his eyes throughout the day. He stopped eating maybe 2 days ago. Vet said he had an infection and was a bit dehydrated. He gave some antibiotics and vitamin supplements and showed us how to do it. But when we got home and put...

I know everyone likes to see everyone's cham cages, but..what about your cricket enclosures? How do you "store" your crickets? We have the big Cricket Keeper and I'm looking for a way to efficiently use that to maintain them. Anyone have any suggestions? Do you put substrate or soil on the...

Hi all. Can someone explain in layman terms what exactly is the difference between a T8 and a T5 hood? I THOUGHT were had a ReptiSun T5 hood but I guess it was a Zilla T8 hood (don't ask. Been one of those months). Can someone explain the difference to me? Is a T8 bad for our veiled...

Hi again. We gave Tillman a "shower" earlier and now his left eye is closed and he hasn't opened it yet. He's been rubbing his eye once in a while lately but the vet we took him to too said everything looked normal. Has anyone else experienced closed eyes after misting? His lights went out...

So I went home for lunch today and checked in on our "lil sh*ts" as we lovingly call them and noticed Tillman sitting like a dog on his haunches under the basking light. Is this normal? I know we've been having a helluva time trying to get the temperature just right. Was in the low-mid 80s...

Happiness that Tillman started drinking water again and today he ate 3 crickets! But the next problem? Heat. So we exchanged our blue 65W heat to a 100W which was waaaaay too hot for lil Tillman. Today we switched to a basking spot lamp at 75W and when I took the temperature using the probe...
