    Any advice???

    My 3 and a half year old male veiled chameleon has started to spend all his time on the bottom of his enclosure. When I pick him up to put him back on a branch he falls off, it seems like he has lost his grip. He is still eating and drinking....could this just be old age? Any advice would...

    Worms

    There is a site here in the UK that will post live food overseas. Their website is www.livefoods.co.uk You would need to check that it is ok to allow these insects into your country though, as they may be prohibited. They have a great range of food like mealworms, wax worms, and...

    Veiled's, how mean?

    My veiled never hisses at me, he has a lovely temperament and is very tame. I think they can start to recognise their owners, especially if you interact with them, like hand feed them when they are little etc.

    sunning

    When it's nice and warm outside (which is not that often in England!) I put my chameleon outside in exo terra flexarium.

How can I be sure that the plant is not the actinophylla...

    plants

    My cham loves to eat pothos leaves, he has nearly eaten one plant so I went to get him a new one but they didn't have any. I got him an umbrella tree, I think the correct name is schefflera variegata, is this safe for him to eat? And also, what plants are the most nutritious?

    Leaving, 10 days, advice?

    I'm going away for a month to Australia in November. I don't trust anyway to look after my cham, so am thinkin of booking him into a reptile hotel. There is one near where I live, I think they would know know how to look after him a lot more than my friends (who all seem to have a fear of...

    Hi everyone!

    Hia, I have been reading the forums for a few weeks now and think there great. I thought it was about time I posted a few pics of my cham. His name is Dink and he is 1.5 year old veiled, he is a really friendly little fella towards me (he seems to recognise me!) but will puff up and hiss at my...
