Shedding

[mackenzieyeomans]

My 3 month old veiled chameleon chamille. Has already started shedding four days after I got her. I’m so proud with how she’s been. She eats about 15-20 crickets a day and drinks water constantly. Now I get to watch her roam her cage trying to pull all the skin off, she’s definetly not a happy girl with having to do it though

You should change that uvb bulb to a linner uvb.
You may want to also add some more foliage to the top of the enclosure it looks kind of bare leaving your chameleon to feel less comfortable. You want to create as many avenues for her to take as possible.
It's hard to tell but if the heat bulb is red you may look into getting a white incandescent light for the basking bulb.
Here is what I have for my guy for reference.

I’ve been looking at which linear one would be the best. and I already have ordered a rock potted focus plant to put in her cage. Also someone said that I could use a regular white incandescent bulb for her cage but what wattage would you recommend?

What did you use to hold your limbs up with? I have a hard time with that with it being an all screened cage

It depends on where you live and the temperature it says around 75 during the day where I am and I use a 60 watt bulb

You can use zip ties but they tend to rip the screen a bit or some thin wire from a home improvement store.

I use garden wire and thumb tacks to secure my walkways, depending on how thick they are and what material they're made of
