I did finish it. I painted the whole thing with a water resistant paint. Then an extra coat of water proofing, then siliconed all the creases. The only problem I ran into to was there's a slight slant in my floor and of course I but the drainage on the high side ?‍♀️. Nothing a couple shims...

That shoul Okay just to clarify the branches themselves should be 9inches down so his body would actually be closer? Or should I leave space for his body to be 9 inches down? It's mostly for the main horizontal branch I'm concerned with. I'll have other smaller branches going up into the...

I have a male veiled chameleon. I'm finishing up his new enclosure this weekend but I need to know how far away from the lighting his branches should go. He's about 8 months old moving into 46"Hx 35" W x 17D piece of furniture (with sides/top cut out replaced with screen). New misting system...

Bump

Does anyone have a preference of one over the other for veileds? I've read that the reptisun 5.0 or the 10.0 can be used. What's the difference? The enclosure is 49" tall x 36" wide x 18" deep if that makes a difference.

It is really nice outside, mid 70s, he's still small and his enclosure wouldn't be too hard to move. Could I take him outside while I do work on my laptop? I'd like to just carry him outside for a bit but he's... rude lol.

I'm working on my babies big boy home. He's a veiled chameleon about 6 months old so it's time for him to upgrade. I got an old china hutch I want to convert. The dimensions of his area are 18” deep 36” wide and 49” tall. I have a 36" T5HO reptisun hood but not sure which bulb I should get. I've...

If it is only sometimes an indicator of illness, what is it the rest of the time? My chameleon goes to bed at the same time every day but it's always before his light goes off. He consistently gets up when the lights turn on, eats well, is active, urates and stool are normal, absolutely no...

Mine did this too when he was younger. First I thought it was because I was having a drainage problem. Fixed that, didn't change. We think it had to do with the time of year (sun setting earlier) and the activity in the house. Double check your husbandry to be sure but if he's active during the...

It's a he, I just have the one (for now...). Yeah he seems to be able to shoot it out just fine.

My chameleon got the tongs for the first time today. He's never hit tongs before but I just got new hornworms and they are pretty small. I figure that must be why he hit the tongs because he did it twice today. How worried do I need to be about a possible tongue injury and want are the earliest...

Were you able to get your chameleon to a vet? Is he acting more normal today?

Yes the bump on the jaw. I know the lighting isn't ideal but I have a 36" T5H0 linear UV bulb for his adult enclosure. It's just not finished yet. He's eating normal, acting normal, stool and urates look normal. I wish I could take a closer look but he's just starting to tolerate my hand in the...

Bump

This is Randall, he's about 6 months old. He's got this bump on his neck. I've done some looking into it and some think over supplementation and others think lack of hydration. What are you thoughts? He's acting normal, his urates are white. I recently increased his misting schedule. My old...

I'm definitely not an expert but it looks like the humidity dips a bit low but overall seems like an okay schedule. Especially being in Oregon (I'm in Michigan) you might want to increase your misting just a tad at least until warmer months. I have to put a shower curtain on 3 sides of my cage...

So I came home with a veiled chameleon having done zero prior research and didn't even have a cage for him. I rushed to get things set up (I thought correctly) and spent the next month tweaking everything (Temps were inconsistent, air flow problems, humidity problems, standing water, etc.) And...

The part about the supplements. I've been told here and by others that the LoD should be used daily. But your guide says twice a month. Is there a reason behind that?

I'm trying to diversify my veiled's diet. He's only about 2 months only and he will only eat crickets. I've tried dubia, hornworms, soldier fly larva, and even wax worms for a treat, and he just has no interest in anything but the crickets. I'm going to let some of the soldier flies pupate and...

I currently have a dual basking/USB set up that I know I need to upgrade for my baby veiled. So can you show me your lighting set ups? Bonus points for what it is and where you got it but as a visual learner just the pics would be super helpful.
