Unfortunately, I am looking to rehome my male veiled chameleon, Leonardo. When we moved into our current apartment I thought we would be here throughout the rest of Leo's life, but our new landlord is raising the rent and we'll be moving between February and May. I want the best for him, and I...

I’ve seen threads on this before...but of course I can’t find them now! I was feeding Leo dubia roaches this morning and I was shaking the bowl a little to entice him and I think I might’ve shaken the little dubia out and into the corn plant or just the bottom of the cage. If Leo doesn’t find...

Today when I woke up and went to check on Leo he tried to eat me! His favorite spot in his cage is about eye level for me so we were face to face. He started inching closer to me and I thought he was going to hiss but then I saw his tongue peek out. I thought maybe the screen between us was...

So my little Fluker thermometer has been reading 100F recently and I thought there was no way it could be that high so I bought a little Accurite window thermometer from Lowe’s and put it in there at the same height. The highest temperature the Accurite recorded was 90F. Which one should I be...

So the past few days I’ve noticed Leo’s been in full display for extended periods of time. I’ve attached two photos from two different days. He’s been doing this of a morning when no one else is in the room so I’m wondering...can he see his reflection in the glass? I can, but it’s not super...

Leo LOVES plants! I managed to capture him devouring his new hibiscus tree today. Of course he chose the prettiest flower to eat! :rolleyes:

So for the past couple weeks I've been feeding Leo a combination of crickets and dubias with some hornworms thrown in every so often...and I'm worried he's beginning to develop a "beer belly," but I'm not sure if I'm just worrying too much. My boyfriend says he's fine, but he looks a little...

Leo has been munching the plants in his new enclosure like CRAZY. You'd think I don't feed him! I checked all his plants against FL Cham's safe plant list, but I wanted to ask about one plant in particular: fuchsia. I don't have fuchsia plants in his enclosure, but I have two outside. I've only...

Does this happen to anyone else? After I handle Leo, I end up with little red spots all over my arms from where his claws pricked me. I handled him a little more than an hour ago, but the spots haven’t gone away. Can you be allergic to chameleons??? I’m allergic to my cats and this is what...

So I have checked other threads, but I'm still confused. My boyfriend is working from home today and he sent me this photo of Leo's (presumably) urates. I was worried because this is the orange-iest I've ever seen his urates...but then I noticed the white portion below the orange part. I told my...

Several times this past week I've caught Leo "laying" on a branch/dowel rod in the middle of his enclosure. He's supporting himself with his legs and tail, but his belly rests on the dowel rod. Is this normal? Is he just lounging or is something wrong? I've attached a few photos. I can't quite...

Posting this here because who else is going to understand? I had a weird dream last night where Leo's right arm fell off. When I say "fell off," think of the way a succulent falls apart. When a succulent isn't in perfect health, the leaves (if that's what they're called) can easily be popped...

So Leo is about 9-10 months old and I've very recently weaned him off of being fed daily. Now he eats 10 crickets every other day. However...he still goes to his food bowl every morning once I've sprayed his cage to check for food, even on the days he's not being fed. He's currently at his food...

Just purchased this cabinet from FB Marketplace for $50. Going to repurpose it for Leo’s new, permanent home. Here’s the plan: Take out the glass in the doors and replace with screen Remove the top and replace with screen — this is where the lights will sit Remove the back (it’s stapled to the...

You will all be happy to know that I have seen the light...and Leo will not be returning to my classroom next year. The only reason I haven't taken him home permanently yet is because I'd like to build a custom enclosure for him first. I do want to say that he's been growing and behaving...

I haven't had time to look through the threads on here yet, but today I saw Leo do something he hasn't done before. He was on his vine near the back of his cage and he was HUGE. He had puffed up really big the way he does before he hisses at me when I'm too close...except no one was near his...

So the care sheet for veiled chameleons says that at 8 months old they should be eating 10-12 crickets every other day. Leo is between 8 and 9 months old so he's definitely ready to be/should already have been eating every other day. My question is, do I just stop feeding him daily or am I...

So I've been combing through the enclosure threads for quite some time and I really want to build a custom, aesthetically appealing enclosure (Leo's current enclosure is an eye sore) that is also going to meet all of Leo's needs. I've settled on this piece of furniture made of knotty pine. The...

So I've been trying to hand feed Leo when possible to build trust between us and I rarely succeed. Yesterday I tried to hand feed him a cricket and I waited patiently, as still as possible, for probably 10-15 minutes and he moved closer but didn't attempt to take the cricket. :( I had tried to...

Leo’s latest poop looks weird to me. He only eats crickets so I don’t know why it would be watery or mucous-y. Is this reason for concern or am I just an anxious cham mom?
