Hope this helps.
that thing with the fabric is a feeding flap so we can feed her without always having to open the door which we added to prevent “invading” her space as much.

Your Chameleon - Venus
Female Veiled, we’ve had her since June 17th got from petsmart not sure exact age.
Handling -

Feeding -
Feed 5-8 crickets a day that are fed gut...
We feed her 5-8 large crickets and a super worm a day twice weekly dusted with calcium, and a weekly horn worm. The main thing that has me curious is she is WAY more vibrant than she normally is and she’s looking thicker even when moving around. There are two pics of her wearing a light yellow...
I understand and all it’s just massively disappointing when you spend two days to build from scratch a custom habitat and you post results to only get short falls. If you find yourself in any kind of supervisory roles always keep in mind to compliment first
You guys never lead with compliments... the tape holding her tempatire probe is just temp, I didn’t want to use the staple gun with her already in there. I didnt plan to add the tape around the door until the screen mesh rubbed together so much at the opening I need to figure out how to...
I am very happy with how it turned out! It’s a little bigger then I meant to make it and made my plants seem dwarfish so I built her a jungle gym with the left over frame wood. Also used some magnets to make a feeder flap over her food bowl. Also it’s all bioactive organic clean and natural...
So this weekend I’ll be constructing my baby veiled, Venus’, new habitat. We’re making it 2.5’x2.5’x6’. I’m going to frame out each panel with 2x2s and staple aluminum screen mesh as the siding. I’m making each panel first so I while combining the panels I can ensure the cut edges of the screen...
So I had the temp at around 80 degrees but she went back to climbing on the ceiling to get closer to the heat and when I lowered the light to make the spot 85 she went back to the branch ??♂️ Also not sure if I ever established her name... Venus! I’ve included pics!!
One of those shows are on...
Will she not be able to just dig into the natural earth substrate? We have a bio active set up on its way. She’ll have a natural earth ground with plants planted directly in it, she should be able to lay her eggs naturally, I’m also aware that as an adult she needs to be moderated but as she is...
Several days later follow:
we adjusted the height of the enclosure and temps and UVB tube light with hood. She now sits at basking height higher than we are tall, it’s 87 in her basking spot.
we finally caught the store with some crickets and we bought about 200 pinheads and some adults. We...
Thank you for all the info! First I want to say we are going with bioactive and the trees plants soil are on their way We just didn’t want to stick any pot his in there cause if it was treated with pesticide or chemicals she could get sick right? Also our compost is all organic produce waste, no...
