Hi, everyone. Some might remember me from before I stopped posting, but I’m now back with more questions! Just a bit of background: I’m pretty confident that I have enough knowledge now after so much research and support from this forum to at least set up a chameleon cage. But, I still don’t...

As I am just a young student, one of my concerns with owning a chameleon is the ongoing costs. Does anyone have any numbers that they can throw at me for what the yearly price of owning a veiled or panther chameleon is? Ideally from a Canadian buyers perspective? And, for that matter, what the...

Hi everyone, I'd like to know how to properly feed either a male veiled or male panther chameleon at each stage of their life, assuming I'm getting one at a responsibly young age. How often should I feed them, how many insects in one serving, what do I gutload and dust the bugs with, how often...

Hey, everyone. I'm thinking of getting a ReptiBreeze chameleon kit as opposed to a standalone cage. This is because I found one online for a good price and in the right size that would give me some bonus stuff (leaves, small vine, powder, lamp, bulbs, ReptiCarpet...) for a good value compared to...

Right now I have found two main contenders for my enclosure on Amazon: one is the standard 24”, 24”, 48” reptibreeze, another is the same but in a kit that comes with some extra stuff for only about two dollars more (even if most of the stuff isn’t the best, I still think that I could keep them...

Sorry for the enormous picture! I saw this plant in my hairdresser’s salon and loved how it looked. Does anyone have any idea what it is and if it is chameleon safe or can survive in a chameleon habitat? My hairdresser said that it is a jungle plant and fairly easy to maintain, if that helps. He...

I am thinking of setting up a bioactive substrate so that I don't have to do as much cleaning when my chameleon poops. However, I am not sure if doing so would be worth it. This is because I don't know how much of a hassle it actually is to clean a chameleon enclosure's bottom. That said, my...

Hello everyone! I have been trying to figure out if I should get either a standard 24” wide, 24” deep, 48” tall repti-breeze enclosure, or a dragon strand enclosure of the same dimensions. I ask because dragon strands are more expensive, will probably require a large shipping cost, and I also...

One of the first steps in setting up an enclosure for my future chameleon will perhaps be getting a primary plant. I know someone who may be able to give me a snake plant that they no longer have space for, and was wondering if people thought that this type of plant is chameleon-safe or if...

Some final questions before I have a complete set-up plan... I am debating if a live plant or plants would be worth it for my future enclosure. The benefits of plants, that I have heard of, are something like this (my concerns will be in brackets next to the benefits): 1) Naturalistic (I like...

I feel pretty confident on how to set up a chameleon enclosure thanks to help from the community but, as my username implies, I still have some questions! So, there are two sources for chameleons that I am debating about: the first is Chronic Chameleons, a Canadian-based breeder that is is near...

One of the last things for me to figure out before I am equipped with all of the basic info to care for a chameleon and set up an enclosure is whether or not to use live plants. They seem like a good idea for the sake of naturalistic-ness and keeping humidity up, plus as extra food for a veiled...

So, my family and I are going away over spring break in March and, because I am looking at getting a mist king system sometime in the future anyway and they are so long-lasting, I had an idea that it would be effective to get one for my crested gecko sort of as a testing-phase with the bonus of...

Hello all! Some more questions for the community to see what input I get: 1) Without taking looks into consideration (enclosures setups are expensive so I want it to be practical first and pretty second), what plants are best for veiled or panther chameleons? Also, are there any plants that...

Here is an updated list of supplies for you guys to dissect and correct! Stuff that is in brackets is probably something that I am unsure about. :) - Dragon Strand 24", 24", 48" clear side enclosure kit w/ floor panels and dragon strands. - Dragon Strand drainage tray (Not sure if I would want a...

Hello! :) Some of you may remember that I made a few threads here a while ago in preparation to take on the responsibility of chameleon care. I ended up dropping off the site entirely when it occurred to me that I hadn't posted in a long while and decided that posting late would seem kind of...

Here is what I am planning on buying for a future chameleon. https://dragonstrand.com/product/large-keeper-screen-chameleon-cage-kit/ Adult cage setup (I've heard that one should get a small cage beforehand for a young chameleon. Is that true?)...

I have contacted three chameleon breeders and two pet stores in Canada (outside of Canada, they can't ship to me) but none of them have young, male, captive-bred veiled chams as of yet. It is possible that they will in the future, but I would still like to see some other breeders to maximize the...

Hello, everyone. I am hoping to purchase a young, captive-bred male veiled chameleon sometime in November or potentially later (depending on when local breeders have chameleons available) and was wondering if it would be okay to manually mist using a spray bottle instead of using a misting...
