It looks great! Perfect to have branches at different levels below basking light for your chameleon to have a choice in temps and uvb exposure. It looks like a good amount of branches to my eyes. As your plants grow in they too will be used as walkways. Great job! 💗

Hi and welcome! 🙂 Unfortunately, there aren’t really dedicated breeders of veileds the same as there are for panthers. However, there is one breeder who breeds veileds every now and then, is a fantastic repeatable breeder and just so happens to have some veileds right now...

I just posted some pics of one of my chams and his tradescantia zebrina is directly behind him. You can see how pinkish/purple it becomes. Beneath him the light green leaf is a neon pothos and mixed in is an umbrella plant (schefflera).

Bart has the habit of thinking everything is food and will shoot at it first and ask questions later. Even when I bring him some yummies, he tries eating the deli cup before even noticing the bugs running or squirming around in it. As you can plainly see, he is starving. I just wanted to get a...

I love tradescantia zebrina for a beautiful little pop of some color, plus it grows so very easily, vines and you can make new plants from clippings. Usually it will vine downwards, but I found when I had one against a wall, it vined upwards, which was super cool. They do like a good amount of...

I’ll be excited to see when it’s done! It’s so much fun setting up enclosures. Make sure to add lots of highways with varied diameters to exercise feet muscles well. I don’t know about dripper plants, but if you want to add a dripper, there is a very simple and inexpensive option…a plastic party...

Good deal! Do make sure to wash and rinse them well though and if you can let them air dry outside for a day, that would be awesome…gotta get all the manufacturing dust and odor off. I am going to advocate for safe live plants…I hope you have at least a nice pothos or something else that is...

She’ll find it. I pretty much let most of my bsfl pupate into fun flying treats to keep my chams stimulated.

Oh my goodness! I’m so glad that your baby is okay. Just keep an eye on her, as I know you’re already doing. Just so you know, when chameleons get bruises, they are black. Also, when threatened and no other way out, they will drop from their tree to the ground so are more tolerant of falling...

Have you checked out the breeders who sponsor the forum? All have excellent reputations and gorgeous animals. You may save a few $$ by buying at an expo, random breeder, etc but usually you get what you pay for. https://www.chameleonforums.com/sponsors/?tag=chameleons

With babies it’s best to elevate your lights above the screen top by at least a few inches to prevent burns. To accommodate, you’ll want to raise your basking area the same distance. I use small wire baskets from the dollar store to elevate my lights, since it’s just going to be a temporary...

Ask as many questions as you need. It’s a great way to learn. 🙂

Come on people! Get your photos entered!

Yes, keep feeding her all she will eat twice a day. She should be eating at least a couple of dozen feeders each time. She is using all of that food energy to grow. Veileds do grow very quickly. Usually by around 3-4 months old is when we switch them to feeding just once a day, but we still give...

I’m so sorry. 🥺 I hear the pain and maybe some self blaming in your words. I want you to know that it was not the fall which caused Rango to pass away. It was whatever that caused him to fall that is the most obvious suspect. It sounds to me like there was more going on than you or your vet knew...
