Thx, that tells me what I was looking for. I fully understand that with the info I've shared that a precise diagnosis is pretty much impossible. He appears healthy/ normal based on our limited experience so far, but it was alarming how active he'd become, especially in wanting to get out of the...

So far, apart from the comment on night vs. daytime temperature, it seems there was an early comment about our chameleon looking for a mate, but the recurring comments have been related to the size of the habitat. I just need someone to say categorically that the reason he is probably clamoring...

It's all cool; I don't think you're criticizing since the reason we posted was to ask for advice which you're giving :-) So based on previous replies, we'd pretty much assumed a new cage was needed. The question we have is.... could he outgrow the 2 x 2 x 4 cage if so better we plan for the...

Chameleon Info: ◦Your Chameleon - Vaileds, Male, I'm guessing 1yr old. 6mo with us. His body is about 5" long plus tail. ◦Handling - Currently the little fellow is pretty much begging to get out of his habitat, so he gets handled multiple times a day currently. ◦Feeding - Primary diet is...

Ugh, guess we need to look for a new habitat, if he's already outgrown then maybe even something bigger than you suggest. Is there anything we can do to relieve his frustration other than advertising for someone who wants to breed if mating is on his mind?

We've had this little guy for about 3mo now and I'm going to guess he was already 6mo old Once we got heat and light sorted out together with nutrients based on feedback in this forum he seemed to settle down although for the most part he only eats crickets. We tried the odd super worm and...

Final update, so after last weekends escapade everything seems to have settled down, our Veiled Cham is eating reasonably consistently, although he seems to have gone off Super Worms and Horned Worms, he tends to stick with the crickets and dubias. Damn Horned Worms have grown enormous...

Haha, that's why he's such high maintenance, haha.

Update... Busy day, don't you know it, we get to the vet and just like taking your kid to the doctors, the prolapse withdrew into her butt. The vet took a look and sumized that she may have ingested something she couldn't digest but he couldn't see any damage and told us to keep a very close eye...

Thx for this response, we finally found a vet we can visit this morning, we clearly have a lot of adjustments, I had read through quite a lot of the materials y'all have compiled here, thx for consolidating the priority items in this response, hopefully, we can get our Chameleon sorted out...

Thanks for that response, We'll get her to a vet in the morning. It's just so sad to see any creature suffering especially when we've done everything we thought was necessary to build a comfortable home with us. Thanks again.

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Female Veiled Chameleon, age unknown but probably less than a year 3-4" long, in our care 1 week. Handling - We do not handle her except to clean the cage. Feeding - Feeding Super Worms and small crickets, she has not eaten consistently since we got her, but we...
