Chameleon house

Thank you everyone for your help and advice! Repticon is going on next weekend and I found several breeders

Just to verify, are these the correct supplements? Just want to make sure before I order them

Use the reticalcium without d3 at every feeding, and the reptivite with d3 on the 1st and 15th of every month. Ditch the repticalcium with d3

What do you recommend putting over the soil of potted plants? I've seen some people do rocks, but I wasn't sure

If your getting a veiled then 1 inch or larger rocks. I get mine in little netted bags at the dollar store. They also sell them at the craft stores but are more expensive.

Really pay attention to the condition of the cham... Sometimes these places can be sketchy to buy from.

Large rocks, or you can put a layer of screen and just outline it with rocks so the screen doesn't come up.

Cool, thank you! The place is called New Moon reptiles. They have good reviews. If they send me pictures, I'll be sure to post them.

Here's one of the little guys

To my eyes he looks a little skinny and his eyes look sunken in. Maybe it's just me. any thoughts? ?

Apparently he is an older one and is about a year old.

Yeah he's not a year old. maybe 4-6 months.

 

[Beman]

Yeah if that is a year old you do not want it.... Males should have striking colors at that age and should have a prominent casque. I am not as concerned about the eyes as it could be sucking them in due to stress but the tail looks very thin.

A website with a frail looking cham, that says he's 1 but he isn't, and I checked out their website and they have "chameleon forest dragon" which IS NOT a chameleon under the chameleon section. IMO would not reccomend

@ariez189 Ok is it this site? https://www.newmoonreptiles.com/chameleons
If that is them do not buy from them... No respectable breeder would sell babies at 1 month old. They should be 3-4 months minimum. They get rid of them young so they do not have to house them correctly. When they are that small they can throw a bunch in a tub.

Yep. I will definitely avoid them then. I'll just keep looking around and researching.

Awesome! I am on the waitlist for a male juvenile veiled since they currently do not have any.
