Hello and welcome to the forums! If you have any questions please feel free to ask away!!

Thanks I sure will

welcome. do you have a little boy or little girl? does it have a name? is that a picture of it in your avatar? because if it is it looks older than 2 months

Welcome to the forums. I keep veileds and they are such a pleasure to care for. I have a blog for new keepers that I'm attaching for you below.

I'm not entirely sure of the gender but I think its a girl. I haven't name the chameleon yet and that is her. She curled up and puffed herself up at the camera but shes a lot smaller than she does in that picture I can post some more pictures tomorrow.

here she is

cute. if it has spurs"bumps" on the back of the rear feet its a boy. still looks like its 3-4 months to me. there is not much height to the casque"veil" at 2 months

 

[veiled]

my avatar is a pic of rambo when he was almost 2 months. his casque was almost flat

I was kinda guessing on the age but I think they said it was 2 or 3 months so probabaly closer to 3 and about the spurs Its weird I see the spurs sometimes but ill try to feel for the spurs next time I hold here Idont wantto stress her out to much

 

[allencg101]

actually imo i think you can see the spurs easily on the back of their hind footsies. yeah i think he/she looks a little older then 2/3 months enjoy her first giant growth spurt you'll love her additude!!!

I got a veiled about 8 months ago and he seems to be doing very well, eating and drinking (the drinking is almost daily- sometimes every other day)... He goes to the bottom of the tank once in a while- I think it's when he's shedding, but he either climbs back up or I put him up higher. This is normal right?- cool down?

The spurs on my chams heels are extremely easy to see.... If it's a male you should be pretty close to 100% positive.

if everything is normal he probably is just climbing down to cool off. what is his temp around the top?

 

[blueoceanhope]

Appx 80 F. Is that ok? It drops to appx 70-75 at night.

 

[veiled]

if the cage isnt tall enough for an 8 month old veiled he may have to go all the way to the bottom to get some cooler temps. what size is his cage

 

[DrRhymes]

Sorry I took so long to post but she is a girl. Another quick question what color should the poop be

 

[Leroux2008]

poop should be brown... urate (pee) should be white. If it has orange it could mean shes becoming dehydrated.

great thanks
