Yes, a year of free-ranging has changed Mr. Wor In the two days he's been back, Mr. Worf seems more reclusive and no longer takes crickets out of my hand. But I assume that it's just a matter of readjustment. Also, he's bigger now and I need to upgrade his enclosure to a 2x2x4'.And yes, I'll...

I have an amazing story to share with all you cham lovers. A year and a half ago, I purchased a 3-month old male veiled chameleon. One very warm afternoon, I took "Mr. Worf" into the backyard to sun himself. I placed him on a bush and kept a close eye on him. For some time, no problem, but...

Just wondering if anyone has experience with the ZooMed ReptiBreeze all screen cage. I currently have a 18x18x36" LLL all screen cage and need to upgrade to the big boy, 24x24x48". I check the LLL website and notice that they have not only their own version,which I've been generally pretty happy...

Worf's behavior My wife was not wearing anything flashy or particularly colorful. But perhaps it was the camera, altho I've taken pictures of him with no problem,even up close. He didn't seem to mind. But this behavior was quite profound and the first time I'd seen it. Perhaps also it was the...

Mr. Worf, my 7 month old male veiled did something today that he's never done before, which struck me as really odd, or at least unusual for him. Today was a very warm day in San Francisco. In the midafternoon, I took him out on our deck. For 15 minutes was was very calmly perched on my hand...

bummer A few months ago, I lost my female veiled Lucy outside. I literally took my eyes off her for one minute when she was on a bush, and she was gone. I tried everything, including a flashlight in the tall tree in the yard, to no avail. Actually, I think a bluejay came swooping down and swept...

Better not to witness Nick: Me thinks you're right. Just as well that I missed the carnage of an exploding Hornworm. But strange, there is absolutely no evidence of the horn having been consumed. Just that it's gone. Of course, I did see large poops in the cage in the last couple of days, so...

Despite the general rule about feeding insects no larger than the cham's head, but aware that soft-bodied insects like silkies and hornworms are different, I put in a very large green hornworm into Worf's enclosure yesterday. Worf is a 6.5 month old male veiled (now about 11 inches head to...

Worf's personality change Yes, maybe naming him "Worf" was a mistake. It just seemed so appropriate as he looks so much like the Star Trek character, at least to me. Anyway, thanks all for the feedback. Seems like the personality change is not surprising as he is getting to be a big boy, and...

Worf, my now 6-month+ old male veiled chameleon seems to have undergone a personality change since his last shed a couple of weeks ago. I got him when he was 4 months old. Until his last shed, he would quickly become alert when I dangled a clear feeding cup with crickets to attract his interest...

My 6 month old male veiled, Mr. Worf, is already shedding for the third time in the 7 weeks I've had him (growing fast). Have others noticed that during shedding, chams get quite cranky (absolutely does not want to be handled, whereas normally he stays put when I gently remove him from the...

Your enclosure I agree with the other comments. The acrylic front should be replaced with screen, no basking light inside the enclosure, smaller diameter branches, and definitely more foliage (and higher up.)

my veiled is also gaping. basking temp 91.5 deg. Last couple of days it's been really hot here in San Francisco, and I noticed 5 month old Mr. Worf gaping (open mouth) but not puffing up. I took the temp at the basking spot and was surprised to find that it was nearly 92 degrees. I think that's...

Thanks, Dodolah. You were very helpful with your many useful tips along the way. I DID research this thing pretty thoroughly. Btw, I forgot to mention that aside from the two pots, there is absolutely nothing on the PVC bottom, making it very easy to clean. The biggest "problem" is when Mr...

I'm a graphic designer and my office is a converted one-bedroom apartment in my 4-unit Edwardian building in San Francisco. With the misting system and lights on timers, it's all pretty much self-maintaning, except for the feeding, of course. So far, I haven't been gone for more than a day, so...

After much research and work, I'm happy to report that my enclosure is done and I have a new male veiled cham, Mr. Worf (he does indeed look like the Klingon in Star Trek Next Gen). I started with an LLL Reptile 18x18x36" black all screen enclosure, then made a wooden liner that fits snugly...

What is Total Bites?--not dead insects! Total Bites (Nature Zone) is a cricket gutload that combines all the needs of a cricket, including water all in one. I heard great things about it, and the crickets just eat it up. It's green and comes in little bitesized pieces ready to feed (contains...

Last Saturday at the Herp Show in San Francisco's Cow Palace, I purchased a 4-month old male veiled. I'll be posting pictures of my custom enclosure soon, but in the meantime, I wanted some feedback from people about the fact that "Worf" is shedding and seems not very interested in food (so far...

A while ago I read a post that recommended a certain schedule of misting 3 times a day, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone chime in on the best schedule to set my new MistKing misting timer to for a 3-4 month old male veiled, and if the schedule should change over time, and of course...

Just found out about a herp show at San Francisco's Cow Palace this Sat. and Sun., May 16 and 17, but the website gives absolutely no details on vendors. Do any cham breeder sponsors on the Forum plan to exhibit at the show or know anything about other cham breeders who plan to be there. Would...
