try lowering the temp. i never had a female show the robin blue coloring, but turning the AC on while the veileds wander around sometimes works wonders.

no, you can't candle them. cham embryos like to form a cradle on the side of their egg. moving the egg may dislodge them from their cradle and cause birth defects and/or death. what you can do, is get a small LED flashlight and carefully put it next to the egg while all the lights are out...

I haven't posted in a long time, but I just wanted to say that my 2nd generation of veileds have hatched and are now 1 month old! only 5 males out of the 20... but oh well. this now makes my first cham, Orbit a grandpa! I'm so proud but he could care less. Poor old grandpa almost died after...

the misses and i are going there for our valentine's date:D

FLchams breeds some GREAT looking chams, but both veileds i got from them did the same thing as yours when i first got them. they hid at the bottom as soon as we got home, for a few weeks. the first one never warmed up to us or wanted to be seen by us ever. the second one is even worse than...

that would make sense if his cage temp has dropped because of winter. temp drops do sometimes make veileds want to mate. but still, the sleeping on the ground doesnt sound good.

very cute guy (i'm assuming!) i hope he grows up to be nice and only hiss at you some of the time (: veiled chams rule!

very well said, jo

ug, i hate those things! i miss the bright red ladybugs of my youth before those stupid poser bugs took over. i'm gonna call them men-in-drag bugs because they're so fake!

well, i'm not completly sure, but i think chams have a low risk of giving people salmonella. i think mainly because of the way the setups of their cages are. they usually stay at the top, poop at the bottom and then rarely ever walk at the bottom where they pooped. i always wash my hands, but...

i'm not gonna yell at you about your pets being stressed or your setup. i'm worried about your firehazard and possible drowned and/or eaten cham yes, but i have to admit, it does look cool. as far as the cham's stress over the turtles, that depends on the cham's personality. while left to...

that is great about them. i do this and buy the crickets in bulk, and overall i feed 4 chams for the same price as it used to cost me to feed one:D:D after reading this i'm glad i only give the crickets a small piece of bannana once every othe month or less...

yea, lower it to 40-50% humidity

in the photo, the humidity does seem a bit high. veileds live in a bunch of varied climates and can withstand less humidity. having it too wet in there could cause a respitory infection. you could put a live plant (this forum has a great list of safe plants) to help circulate the air and hold...

i didn't know she was mean until it was too late :(

many of us have been owning chams for years. but at one time we were still ignorant and did stupid things trying to take care of them. when i got my first veiled, i used colored construction paper to cover the bottom of his cage. i did so hoping to "teach him new colors." :eek: needless to...

could you imagine that thing squeezing your fingers?! :eek:

mmmm butter. its comfort food for chams.

i just like variety for my chams. even if it has no significant nutrition value, like flies and pinkies. for all i know, to a chameleon tongue, pinkies taste like the insanely decadent chocolates my mother-in-law brought back from the UK. depriving them of things they find delicious is just...

i agree with you on that, sandra
