I would agree with foxymiche - in order to help you we need to know if they are living together (hopefully not) and what setup's you have etc.
This forum is very helpful from my experience. The more info you can give, the more the forum will help you.
Good Luck.
Garry.
Repley to all
They were housed together but i have separated them. They are in 16"x30"x16" flexariums (WxHxD). I have a uvb bulb and ceramic heating bulb on both. The enclosure are simple at the mo, am going out today to get cork bark, fake plants etc - theyv just got a couple of ficus plants at the mo. Iv got a thermostat- do they need it? And Iv gotta get a thermometer which i was going to set the probe up under the basking spot - 90F - Right?? I would like to breed them eventually, but not right now. ANY TIPS on care? xxx

the flexariums are not big enough for an adult yemen, they need at least 2ft wide, 2ft deep and 3ft high as they can reach 24" in length so could not even turn around in a 16" deep flexarium.
it is good they have been seperated as i dont beleive its a good idea to keep two together, causes all sorts of stress for them.
not sure about breeding though, im sure someone a little more experienced can help with that.

i would say get a new cage for both ASAP.
one site i know of with good prices on screen cages is uhhh...hah, i forget, go to google and search "big apple herp" and i know it will come up then. they have 65gallon reptariums that are perfect, all screen, easy to assemble, very nice, good visibility, very nice structure. if you'd like to see for yourself i can send you pictures of mine. pm me.

It is rare to see a 24" veiled cham....
The best way to get tips from the group would be to fill out the 'how to ask for help' sticky in the Health Clinic forum. Copy and Paste it into this thread and fill it out. Be specific with everything and we can get a better idea of how you are situated.
My first question is, what kind of UVB lamp? is it a linear tube or a screw in type of lamp? and my first suggestion would be to remove the heat coils and install a normal house hold lamp. It would be best if it were a flood lamp. Also make sure the chams can get within 6-10" of the UVB and heat lamp. They should each be getting rays from both lamps at the same time. House hold lamps have UVA in them and this helps stimulate them to eat.
For some good UV reading check out the UV Guide website.

It is always better to go bigger now than to have them keep out growing habitats. I learned this with my iguana. he was 5" when i got him, he grew fast had to buy new cage every 6 months. i finaly got 4'x4'x8', he is now 6+ feet long. again i need new cage. the cham cage i use is 24"x36"x48", hopefuly that will be big enough.
