    Who's bought a chameleon from a friend before?

    I was told it's the perfect setup for a female veiled chameleon! I'm kinda sure a reptile shop owner knows what he's talking about, not saying you don't haha but yeah the light sits on top so that she can go up and down the enclosure if she's too hot or too cold and yes I still need to fill up...

    Who's bought a chameleon from a friend before?

    Got told buy a reptile store owner who owns chameleons and he said the enclosure is perfect for a female veiled chameleon as she doesn't need too much airflow, just a window open during the day with a nice slight draft which is what I have for myself anyway

    Need advice on handling my chameleon.

    I am so so so so annoyed!! I think I've burnt her a bit!! The light has been on and off for 12 hour stints as normal but I came into my room just now and she was a very dark brown colour so I turned the light straight off. It's been on for about an hour

    Need advice on handling my chameleon.

    Thank you! Yeah I just want what's best for her and I don't wanna stress her out, such a cool animal and I've never owned anything other than two gerbils but yeah this is quite the challenge owning a cham! All worth it though of course, especially as I have a lot of time for it ☺️

    Need advice on handling my chameleon.

    I don't have a waterfall haha I was going to get a dripper system instead, just one that works and is reliable and affordable I think will be ok, do I need a humidifier too? Do I need a thermometer to know the temperature inside? Or is the 12hr light timer ok? Are live plants a necessity? Thanks...

There are no live plants installed yet, but I...
