Hi all, my cham is ~ 2 years abd has never laid before, she’s not showing receptive colors but when I took her outside she buried herself hallway down into the soil of a potted plant. She doesn’t care about her lay bin at all which is moist sand, maybe should i switch it so something more...

hi all, my cham has had some shed in the same area i was applying a daily thermal burn cream back in december. i assumed she would slough it off on her own but she’s finished a while she’s since then and hasn’t gotten rid of it. it doesn’t seem to be hurting/bothering her, but it’s definitely...

My exo terra monsoon mist system all of a sudden stopped spraying water when it comes time for the cycle. it just drips out very slowly out of the nozzle. has anyone had a similar problem before? Im so confused, it’s like it was working one minute and next thing i checked it wouldn’t spray.

I have been looking into more plants to get for my veiled. Everything I look at says their chameleons love eating plants, especially pothos. My cham has 2 pothos, ficus, and ivy and she never eats them at all. Is this bad? Also, I believe the ivy I have was misidentified as grape ivy but is...

Hi guys, I’m having a lot of trouble with my humidity. I recently moved my chams setup for the 3rd time to make sure she would be warm enough at night. However, the room shes in now is sucking her humidity down to 35-40%. I have a humidifier blowing directly into the enclosure and it doesn’t...

Hi all, I think my chameleon has a small thermal burn on her casque. I have a picture from a few weeks ago where you can sort of see the beginnings of it, since then it has grown a bit in width and decreased in length, and is more brown color. A rough estimate would be 25mm along the casque and...

Hi there, I’m looking for some basking bulb recommendations. I have used exo terra for the past few bulbs and they have both stopped working within 2.5 months or so. Does anyone have any brands that will last? Also, the fixture I put them in is rated for slightly above the wattage, so I think...

Hi guys! I just wanted to show off my brand new plant I got for Ophelia! I'm hoping she will really like it and be more able to make use of her space. Also, I have a humidifier right next to her enclosure now, which along with the plant should fix the humidity CRISIS I was having. I moved The...

Hi guys, the New England winter is upon us, and my cham's cage isn't holding heat as well as it did in the summer months. I need to raise the whole ambient temp around 10-15 ish degrees to make sure she stays warm. Does anyone have suggestions? I've read that heat mats don't work very well...

My lovely veiled chameleon Ophelia is gravid for the first time! I will insert a picture below, it's super blurry but you can make out the orange spots. I am very nervous because she is my first ever chameleon and I want to make sure I can take care of her as best I can, but I am also so happy...

Please help! This morning I went downstairs and found THIS in my ~8/9 mo old cham's laing bin, in the tester hole I dug her. I did get her from a pervious owner -- could she have had a tapeworm or something the whole time and I didn't notice? Wll she be ok now that it's out? What even is this...

Hi all, my veiled chameleon has been hiding from me the past few days when I go to try feeding her. She will climb up into the corner of her enclosure on the screen and refuses to take from the tongs anymore. I made a feeder cup and started using it on Monday as my school schedule prevents me...

I'm looking for ways to give enrichment to my 8-9ish month old veiled. She's pretty personable (considering what I've seen about veilds in general lol) and I'd love to do something interesting/enriching for her to enhance her day-to-day. I have already taken her outside a few times which she...

Just wanted to share these cute pictures of my baby exploring outside for the first time :) I took her out on my back deck because there are a lot of good potted plants for her to climb on there

I got some hornworms from Joshs Frogs and fed one to my cham, it were kinda big (like thick around and probably a few inches long) and now she's at the top of her enclosure gaping and making swallowing motions. Will she be ok? I don't think I will feed hornworms any more.

Hi all, on Friday I finally picked up my chameleon from about an hour away -- the owner had to rehome bc he was going to college. She's a female and her age is a little uncertain since the previous owner got her from a "sketchy situation" at a pet store (I don't know any details, but she...

Hello all! I am about to get my first shipment of dubias today in the mail in preparation for my chameleon who I will be picking up on Friday. I have been able to find a lot on how to properly gutload them befroe feeding them to the cham, but I had trouble finding out how to feed them...

Does anyone know of a good (preferably reasonably priced) fixture that can be used for the Zoo Med T5 linear uvb bulb?

I am a first-time cham owner and I am prepping to get a female veiled who is 7-9ish months old. She hasn't started laying yet according to the old owner, but I still want to provide her with a laying bin when I get her as I think she's around the age when veiled's start laying (please lmk if...
