I'm looking at getting a parsons cham, and I'd like to build a considerably larger enclosure than what I have now. What would be the best screen material to use for this application? I know it has to be aluminum, and I know it has to be durable, but I don't know if there is a "best" type or...

I have a veiled chameleon for sale. He was originally purchased from FL Chameleons. He's an adult, but has not finished growing yet. He's very healthy, beautiful color, and has been fed gut-loaded crickets dusted with multivitamins (bi-monthly) and calcium+D (daily) his whole life. While he may...

Hey guys. I'm moving into a new apartment, and unfortunately, the manager seems to have a problem with me having a chameleon. I'm looking for a good home for my 1.5 year old veiled chameleon, Kush. If you haven't owned a chameleon before, don't even get a hold of me. I'm going to be giving him...

Just got Kush's new cage from LLL Reptile. It's awesome. 2'x2'x4' I got some more vines and some branches to give him more area to hang out under the lights. He's still hesitant to explore, but he's literally been in there for about 15 minutes. I also bought a large ficus, which...

I've been looking at getting one of the larger species of chameleon. I would go with a parsons, but they are crazy expensive. The only other large species that I know of is the Malagasy Giant Chameleon. Has anyone here kept one or know of other large chameleon species that can be kept in a home...

I am having a serious problem with my eleven month old veiled chameleon. When I try to take him out of his cage to clean it, he hisses and bites. When I mist his cage, he hisses and bites. When I TOUCH his cage at all, he hisses and bites. He is just one malcontent little bastard. I only handle...

So my fiance works at a Petco. It's not a bad store, but they just aren't equiped to care for chameleons. Anyways, she just came home with a six month old female veiled with MBD. Shes in really bad shape. Is there any way to help this chameleon, or should I just try to make it as comfortable as...

So I picked up some Reptivite. One bottle with D3, and one without. How often do I use each of them?

Kush shed a layer of skin a few days ago. He doesn't have any skin hanging off of him anymore, but he has something on his nose. It looks like dead skin from when he shed, but everything else is gone except that piece, and it's been there for several days, so I thought i'd ask.

So i've had my chameleon for a little over a week now. At first he wasn't eating or drinking. He is eating now, but he still isn't drinking. His fecal matter should be really dark brown and white, but its dark brown and yellow, which I believe indicates dehydration. I use a dripper and I mist 3...

I picked up a schefflera for Kush today. It's a little smaller than I would have liked it to be, about a foot tall, but the only other size they had was way too big for my cage. I was wondering how quickly they grow. I've heard that they grow about one new branch a week, but I haven't seen...

I read that veiled chameleons can't be kept together due to their high level of aggression. Is this true with all cases (multiple males, multiple females, male/female pair)? Are there species that CAN be kept together?

Are "pachira" (money tree) or "lucky bamboo" safe for chameleons? I know it's safe, but will they eat sword ferns? Also, is there any difference between regular and variegated schefflera besides the two-tone look? I need some live plants for my veiled, and I figure I might as well get some...

What species of veiled chameleon is this? Chamaeleo Calyptratus or Chameleo Calyptratus Calcarifur? He's only 4 months old, so you may not be able to tell. Unfortunately photobucket is down, so I can't post the picture directly. I posted a picture on this forum yesterday though, so here's the...

It will be at least a few months before I have to upgrade my veiled's cage, but I like to be prepared. I wanted to know: What company makes the most solid, durable cages, and how large of a tank my veiled will need? The one I have now isn't bad, but it doesn't feel as strong as i'd like it to...

How many baby crickets will my new veiled chameleon eat daily? He's about 3.5 inches minus his tail and I was told he's about 3 months old. I've only had him for about a day and a half. I already put 6 crickets in the cage this morning, but I think he's still adjusting to his new home so he...

I just bought my first chameleon yesterday from the Reptile Show at the Sacramento Convention Center. I got a beautiful 3.5 inch veiled chameleon from the FL Chameleons booth. His ribs were showing when I bought him (as were all the others), and I believe that it's normal for his age and size...
