Has been about once or twice a week.

My 9 month old veiled chameleon occasionally has yellow/orange in his white urates. Is this a concern? His dropping is also in this pic. This is his food dish where I place his collard greens, crickets and few super worms. Amazing that most crickets stay put. He was underweight when I got...

Thanks everyone! Going on week 3 and so far so good. He shed last week and has gained 4 grams since his vet visit 2 weeks ago. Here is a better pic I took this morning.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback. I’ve attached a better picture of Naveen. Going on week 3 so far. He shed last week. Has gained 4 grams since his vet health check visit 2 weeks ago.

Thanks!

Details are above. Mainly looking for others who keep theirs outside in south Florida and any warning signs / conditions to monitor.

I do! Went up to a UVB 10 vs 5 per the vet but he gets a few hours of direct sunlight every morning since his cage is outside in the SOFLO humidity. He also has a full spectrum heat lamp at 95 degrees. The vet did a fecal test and found mild pin worms. Being treated 1 time a week for 3 weeks.

Thanks! Looks like Fort Lauderdale would be a good opportunity for a reptile vet since none are listed in that area!

You mentioned having hard water. Everything I read on misting systems says to use distilled water - not just bottled water. Regular tap / bottled water will eventually clog up the system.

Fort Lauderdale, FL

He’s also very active during the day and the vet called him very scrappy.

New to Chams. Just bought a 6 - 8 month old male veiled chameleon several days ago from a local reptile shop. Took him to an exotic pets vet. She thought he was dehydrated because his head “cone” was concave and not puffy. Never read anything about that anywhere. She recommended soaking...

Thanks everyone!
