After vigorous shopping and cleaning and remodeling, and with more to come, I spent the weekend creating a new home for my chameleon son Harold. His cage before was so sad. I killed all the plants and he was living in a deserted house. BUT with the help of this forum and the links everyone had...
Hey everyone, quick questions: I read something recently that talk about a pocket of fat under the chin meant something related to my chams health, and am coming here for clarification. Also, I noticed a hard black spot under his chin; I tried to kinda pick it off but it almost seemed like a...
Earlier today, as with every day, I took out my veiled to let him roam around the room and explore. No issues with the handling, came right out to me and went on his way. I went down to help my parents for about 30 minutes, and when I came back up to put him back in his cage, the instant he saw...
I noticed this morning that my chams poop had a little speck of blood in it. I will attach a picture of the part that contained it. It this something I need to be worried about?? He has never had this before!
Thanks and hope to hear responses soon!
My veiled is about 10 months old I would say, and he's been doing great. Ever since I've had him he's always loved being held. Recently, he's been wanting out more and more out of his cage, and sometimes even turning down a cricket to escape the cage! Is this a sign of something bad? He is so...
He used to be super skinny, cause of his previous owner not caring for him correctly. I've been giving him a steady diet of protein, veggies and fruits. I am worried he might be starting to look a little fat? His little belly lays on the branch at night, and am worried he is gaining too much...
I replaced my veiled's light today from a normal bulb to these two bulbs that came with the cage I bought, and about half an hour later he had already begun to start acting different. He usually just sits at the top and basks, but after switching out the one light for these two, he's been going...
I recently got potted plants from a nursery, and lately, my male veiled chameleon has been munching on the soil that my bromeliad is potted in. There is no fertilizer in the soil, but he will just go up to the pot and start eating the soil like it's dessert. Is this a sign that he is lacking in...
I recently bought the ZooMed Reptibreeze chameleon cage for my 6 month old veiled, the cage with all screens, and am having trouble keeping it humid. I also bought a mister, it has two spouts where water can come out of. With all the screens, it's been very difficult to keep it humid, even just...
Hello all, I am new to this website and I joined to get some answers regarding my chameleon Harold! He was in a tank with a female bigger than him for a while.. (yes I know that's a no no) and she would attack him and bite him a lot. I believe she bit his leg, and ever since then he has had this...
