    Stopped eating dubias?

    I've got my little one for about month and a half now. He got really used to his cage, likes it as far as i know, basks and wanders around from time to time too. He also doesnt mint at all to climb all over me when i let him, possibly wanting to get on the stringy curtains he likes so much for...

    Suspicious poop

    Hello! So, I've found this dropping on the floor of the cage. I can't find the poop part anywhere, it's like it was urates only, and they are pretty long and big overall i think.. is this a cause for concern? Why is it so big 😅 thanks.

    Lil boy won't use his run feeder

    I've put together a DIY run feeder for him and put it in a nice place, with lots of branches around it to give him any angles he likes. However, he refuses to use it. Roaches run on it up and down when i put them there, but he just looks and ignores them completely. Ignoring other cups too, of...

    Is this normal or is it a burn?

    So, just now my lil guy (still nameless, pls help) started screen climbing and went straight to the top of the enclosure under the lights. He seemed like he didn't know how to get down so i put my hand in and he climbed on it right away!!! So I've given him his very first taxi ride back down to...

He should be about 4-5 months old i think, he's 100% male as even i have found the spurs on legs. Here's my husbandry review, hopefully everything is on spot...

    Misting system vibrations

    I've tested my misting system on complete cage recently, and it gives off fairly loud vibrations. Question is, won't the veiled chamelon mind? It's an offbrand misting system, not a mist king. I've tried lifting the pump itself while turned on, but it didn't reduce the vibrations significantly...

    How's this branch-setup looking?

    So, finally put the cage together! Breeding dubias as well, everything is coming together, so i tried to design interior as well. So far only large Ficus is in the corner, but planning to add one medium sized pothos to the top right corner as a trailing plant as well. There are branches going...

    Will he be able to climb on top of this enclosure?

    Heyy again! So, I'm finishing up slowly my DIY enclosure (finally 😎) and I've come to this question. Will he be able to climb from side to top screen? The top is from 2 pieces as i ran out of screen almost, and isn't joined together in the middle at the moment. I'm considering leaving it like...

    Safe plant or not?

    Hello there! So I've got some plants and this one was on sale, but I'm not sure if it's safe for veiled chameleon or not. I searched online and some say it's toxic, others say they use it for years without problems. Would it be too big of a problem if i used this in his new cage? I like the...

    Type of branches

    Helloo, so I'm finally setting up the enclosure, and i looked around outside for some nice natural branches. Found this lot chopped up on a pile right outside, it should be from a small tree called Rhus Copallina (the one with red things on it). I tried to search online, but didn't find anything...

    Mesh type ... again

    I'm building a cage (finally) and i'm still not convinced on mesh i use. I'm based in middle EU, so Iowe's, Home Depot etc.. is not an option unfortunately, and most amazon listings do not ship here as well. So, i have available basic fibre screen mesh with tiny openings, galvanized and PVC...

    Opinions on this mesh size and color

    So, my mesh saga continues. I found this one at local supplier for quite a good price. It's aluminum, but a downside is relatively small opening size and a silver color. Could this be used for hybrid chameleon cage where 2 sides and top will be mesh? Thanks!

    Using moss in hybrid cage

    I'm planning out layout for my future cage and using moss came across my mind.. would that work and be suitable for veiled chameleon? Will it cause problems if he nibbles on it for whatever reason? And what type of moss would be best for this, i would like to cover part of wall with it, maybe...

    Glass or screen for middle Europe

    So, I'm based in middle Europe, Slovakia. Humidity here is on average about 40-60% if i try to keep it up by using humidifiers in rooms etc, and not using heating that much in winter. Temperature here in flats are about 20-21°C in winter with drops as low as 15°C if i go crazy on opening...

    Screen color and painting it

    Allright, so i searched everywhere and it's impossible to find dark aluminium mesh here, everything is silver only.. so my first question, is it too bad with silver aluminium screen? Second, can i possibly get a glavanized screen and paint it black? Is there some reptile-safe way to do that? And...

    Mesh size and material

    So, planning the cage for veiled cham and wondering what mesh is best? I thought aluminum windows screen is the way but found different opinions here and everywhere else so I'm asking here to be sure. Best to keep medium insects inside, not hurt chams feet and have good enough visibility. What...
