So, after 7 months waiting, I have spent my first day with my very first chameleon baby! It is my first attempt breeding Yemen Veiled Chameleons and, all together, I have more than 200 eggs in the incubators and my female's belly is big and round again... My first baby will be joined by three...

Hi! My Veiled Yemen chameleon eggs have been in the incubator for almost 6 months and I expect the babies to start hatching soon. As it is my first batch, do you have any information, recommendations, and advice for me? For example, will the babies know naturally how to feed, drink, and move to...

I have two questions regarding basic husbandry: 1. Cup feeding. In another thread (which I don't want to "hijack") I read this story: "Those worms [hornworms] can hold on to nearly anything like Velcro. My mistake for not cup feeding him. Anyway instead of the worm coming to Atlas when he shot...

My Lizzie laid 84 eggs in January and now, end of April, she has laid and/or is still pregnant with a total of 85 eggs and this is causing serious problems. The first time, she managed well. She was well over a year old, was strong an healthy and bigger than average (240g weight pregnant, 180g...

A month ago I bought a tiny Yemen chameleon baby girl from a breeder and at that time she was 17g and 4 months old. I am amazed how fast she grows - she has almost doubled her weight every two weeks - to 32g after two weeks and to 56g after four. Is that a normal and healthy growth - or am I...

I have a new Yemen chameleon male - an experienced two year old who has successfully produced offspring - and I tried to introduce him to my female, but all she does is putting a lot of effort into hissing and puffing up and getting black & unfriendly colours, and she keeps this behaviour up for...

I have had problems with my male adult Yemen chameleon since I got him from private three to four months ago. He was almost starved to death and could not shoot his tongue and still can't. He was only able to pick up food directly with his jaws, which worked only with leaves and vegetables. The...

I have 84 freshly laid eggs and wonder whether I must cancel my summer holiday trip in August or not. It all depends on the hatching time of our first chameleon babies. Now, some sources say the incubation time is 150 to 180 days, some say it is 6 to 9 months (equals 180 to 275 days) and some...

I have bought an adult male Veiled Yemen chameleon with his enclosure from private about three months ago and he was in a very poor condition - extremely scared, very small for a male and extremely thin - see the first attached picture how thin he was at pickup. He is about 2-3 years old. I...

My female is finally laying her eggs. At least I think that's what she is doing. She has dug a deep hole (about 30cm diagonally into an earth-sand mix) yesterday morning, then turned round and has been sitting there for a whole day and a whole night, motionlessly. Her eyes are alert and she has...

I am asking this because my chameleon girl has escaped outside and we could not find her. The temperature is 8°C/ 47°F here in Southern England right now (evening) and will drop to about 0°C/32°F at night in a few days. It usually does not get any colder than that here in winter. I wonder...

I am brand-new here and I live in England. I am looking for local breeders and/or chameleon owners. I live in Southern England, near Brighton, and I have a pair of chameleons and want to attempt to breed them for the first time. I have had lots of experience with reptiles (snakes, mainly...

I have a Yemen Veilded female called "Lizzie" who is very healthy, happy and round (she might be gravid meanwhile) and weighs 210 grams. She is about 1.5 years old and I have raised her from a baby. A few months ago I have adopted a 2 year old male called "Yoshi" and I wonder whether he is...
