Hey everyone,
Been a member for a while but this is my first proper post!
Got a female veiled chameleon on saturday and just got a couple of questions!
The shop i got her from had her for a while and i had a spare enclosure so i decided to take her home! she was stuck in a 18x18x24 eco terra with one other female.
First question is do you think she looks healthy? Do you think she looks a little on the chubby side?
She seems to have some shed that covers her lower half of her body that looks old? whats the best way to try and help her get rid of it? other than misting more than usual. you can kinda see it in the pics I've been misting her enclosure plenty to keep the humidity up but i thought after 3 days it might have started to come off by now!
Last question the shop i got her from said she is around a year old but I'm not too sure, she is slightly smaller than my male who is just over 6 months old so i don't think she is as old as they thought!
She is not a very happy little lady she will sit on your hand but if you touch her or put your other hand near her she hisses and tries to bite! I Know i need to leave her alone as much as possible to let her settle in this was just when i first got her home to put her in her enclosure.
I have added a laying bin today so that it is there if she needs it!
Ive had a male for a few months now and he is great sheds eats and poos exactly as he should, just want some other peoples opinions on how this lady is looking!! and how to make sure she is in perfect care!
The male and female are in separate enclosures and cannot see each other.
Both are in 24x24x48 reptiebreeze.
I have uploaded a couple of pics and have added one of my male too!
Thanks in advance!
