    Is a fogger necessary for nighttime use for a veiled chameleon? And if so what are some good brands?

    should I not handle him?

    Camilo has become very cage aggressive and won't come to me anymore. I've been doing the technique where I placed one hand in front (while he is hissing) and with my other hand I gently push him onto the first for a while now. Once he is in my hand he relaxes. But today I placed him on his...

    Can't get basking temp right...

    When Camilo had a reptile brand heat bulb he was in the low 90s, and given the advice that it should be less than 85 degrees I got him a 60 watt equivalent incandescent bulb and the temp was reading 80. Then I got a 100 watt bulb to see if I could raise the temp a bit and it was making it way to...

    Having trouble with basking temps...

    I have a male veiled chameleon named Camilo, and he has been using a reptile bulb for basking but I was told at 90 degrees it was too hot for him. I then went out and got a 60 watt household bulb but now the temp on the basking branch reads at 75 degrees. The basking branch is about 6 inches...

    What to do with big discoid roaches?

    I ordered 20 discoids to kinda get my feet wet with them and they came super big. 3 of them seem to be adult sized! I am concerned they are to big for my chameleon. My question is, if the roaches are too big will my chameleon spit them back out or try to choke himself with them? How can I tell...

    Never seen my chameleon drinking?

    I've had my chameleon since June and I have never seen him drinking? I mist 2x daily for 2 minutes and he has a dripper on for 3 hours a day, more or less. His urates are white enough but I still worry? I'm curious if it's normal to never see the cham drinking? Or am I not being observant enough?

    How to keep BSFL...?

    I am waiting for an order of 500 BSFL and I'm not sure how to care for them or how to extend their life? Also, are the BSF as good a feeder as the BSFL? How long will they live as BSF? Should I gutload? Should I still dust the BSFL? Thanks in advance.

    Buying from the critter depot?

    Does anyone have experience getting feeders from thecritterdepot.com? Are they a reliable source? I purchased BSFL on Saturday from them and haven't even gotten a confirmation email yet. Just wanna make sure I can expect the feeders to actually arrive or I'll need to make other arrangements...

    Does Camilo look heathy?

    I got Camilo over a month ago and his previous owner had him only on crickets, no gutloading aside from Fluker's orange cubes, and the compact uvb bulb. I am feeding gutloaded crickets and superworms with leafy greens, sweet potato and butternut squash. I'll be changing this up when my gutload...

    Trying to fix my husbandry!!!

    Hello, my 15 year old niece got a veiled cham for her birthday at the end of April. She got the kit from petco, crickets, and the Fluker's orange cube to feed the crickets. From past experience of keeping other animals I knew from the start she must have the set up wrong from listening to...
