Ok no basket for her. No idea she’s gravid. I keep them in same enclosure because I got them together from one enclosure in store. They don’t seem to be stressed but I’m not an expert. Can you suggest any baskets for her please. Any other suggestions? Probably keep them separated will be the first oneDo you have them all in separate enclosures? You can’t keep them together because they stress each other out as well as you shouldn’t hold them all at the same time for the same reason. The one looks like a female veiled and she looks like she could be gravid. Does she have a lay bin available to her?
I agree with you the one doesn’t look healthy. My problem is that I’m completely new with chameleons. The other problem is that I can’t get proper information because every one is saying different things. Once the mesh cage is great in another the glass is perfect. My glass enclosure is dedicated for chameleons and it’s around 20x20x24 and it’s on the floor directlyHi and welcome. May I clarify that you have been keeping four veiled chameleons in one enclosure? If so, the stress of that alone could have caused the one’s death. Chameleons are solitary animals, not social ones and need to be kept one per enclosure and not even have a view of others. Also, they would be competing for food and the weakest one would likely get little to nothing. The pet stores do keep them together and is just one of the many things which they should not be doing. Depending on where you live, another possibility is that the crickets and grasshoppers that you caught in your yard had been exposed to a toxin or poison. Some grasshoppers, known as lubbers are deadly toxic to chameleons. We can most definitely help you to take steps to save your remaining chameleons. However, one of them does not look well at all - the paler one with the eyes closed and dirty legs…1st pic of the three. It hopefully isn’t too late to save that one, but it may be. Can you post a pic of the entire enclosure please, including lights? Answering the questions provided above will enable us to help you get everything perfect for your chameleons.
There is a ton of misinformation out there about keeping chameleons and while I’m sure everyone says that their way is the right one, ours is what will not only keep your chameleons alive, but thriving. For the most part, we follow the standards that can be found here https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-husbandry-program-getting-started-with-chameleons/. The man who has created that website, videos, podcasts and an e zine has spent his life learning how to properly keep chameleons. If you listen to his podcasts, he speaks to experts in varied fields who explain why we want to do things a certain way and as we learn more about their natural lives in the wild, and as technology changes, the husbandry standards are kept updated.

I have got 2 mesh cages 24x24x48 that I want to put outside so they can be in the sun mostly. I’m located in south Florida. I really like to get proper insulation but have no clue who says the truth what should be done. Thank you
