[Reptilerob88]

Hi all first post and I'm a but panicked.
My yemen/veiled has been sitting at the bitter of his/her (dorry im not sure howbto sex a chameleon) viv the last few days.
They are still eating but it's really uncharacteristic of sora (chameleons name). They are about a year old and don't seem to have grown very kuch the last few months either They haven't shed for a few months.


The temp is 30 at the basking area, humidity is 75-85, I'm trying to lower it not really having much luck despite list of ventilation, soras urine is white and poop is dark brown.

Can anybody shed some light please? Can it be the humidities too high?

Hello there! First off, you have a girl! She is showing receptive colors and is probably looking to lay her eggs. Do you have a lay bin in her cage?

Here's a great chart! You want it at least 10-12" wide and long with around 6" deep of washed play sand. The play sand should be moist enough to hold a tunnel without collapsing
