I’m pretty sure my female veiled is receptive. I’m wondering what changes if anything at this stage. She is not plump but has been exploring more of her enclosure the past week and going to her lay bin frequently though that is where she goes to the bathroom too. Her colors have been vibrant...
Curious if anyone with a female has experimented with a bio active lay bin? I don’t want to do the entire enclosure bioactive but wondered if doing so with a lay bin would keep the sand soil mix healthy. I thought of it yesterday because it’s where my cham poops. Apparently it’s a giant...
Last week while I was feeding my chameleon she licked one of my fingers, then lunged and bit it. She’s licked my hand before but never lunged at me or shown what looked like a bite attempt. She was not puffed up or open mouthed or hissing. She did start to shed a few days later so I wasn’t...
Do any of your take your chams to the vet for a well check or only when there is an issue? I was thinking just if there were concerns because travel seems so stressful to them.
Just thought I’d share what finally worked with Pistachio’s enclosure in case it helps someone else. I have heavy planting on both corners with one side full of pothos and the other side is basking and a lipstick plant which all prevented corner misting from working. It either would hit the...
Ok I figured out why I’m confused even looking at reputable sources in figuring out how to feed Pistachio. I am not breeding her if that helps with suggestions. She does have a lay bin 100% of the time. She is 3 years old. Had her enclosure checked out and all looks good aside from needing to...

I’m curious why my veiled will sometimes hiss at me while readily walking onto my hand, without changing color and otherwise seemingly content? I never take her out of her enclosure, I just let her crawl out onto my hand/arm when she “wants.” There was one time she crawled out seemed fine and...
Does anyone have a good drainage solution for a 36x18x36 enclosure that will need a lay box in it? Also just to confirm, I should keep a lay box in the enclosure for a female at all times? It weighs 50lbs so not something I want to have to move on a regular basis.

I have a MistKing system and have lighting set on top of the enclosure and have been removing the lights at night because water gets on them. I have the mister pointed as far down as it will go and it still hits part of the roof. Any solutions for positioning the mister and or lighting that is...
