He must have fixed it as I see March. @BleuSaphir I hope you’re planning to enter a pic this month. I love seeing your boys. 🥰

Hi and welcome! No judgement here…we all start at the beginning. 🙂 I am going to guess that you have the ReptiBreeze chameleon kit…yes? To be the bearer of bad news, there is little that is actually useful for a chameleon in that kit and far too many people are tricked into buying it. Besides...

I’ve always liked going more natural with real branches. You can use any from trees that don’t have strong odor or thick sap, like pines, eucalyptus and others. My only tree died years ago, so I go out when my neighbors trim their live oaks. I know they don’t spray with anything so the branches...

I do see a little spur, so I believe you do have a cute little boy. 🤗 I do see some needed changes in his enclosure. The first is to move the uvb light to above his basking branch. It does have a relatively narrow band where it’s at peak levels and then drops off very quickly. Provided your uvb...

Aww…little cutie! 🤗 Yes, it’s a normal coloring for a veiled. Usually, when they are bright, they are fired up or asleep. Their normal relaxed colors can be a bit on the greyer side, especially for boys. I have to ask - are you positive you have a boy? Do you see some prominent nubs (tarsal...

It’s not the tips of the tongs that are the problem, but it’s that we aren’t quick enough on the release of them. You see how fast those tongues shoot out and grab a bug. If the bug doesn’t let go in the millisecond it’s grabbed, the tongue muscle and shooting mechanism gets pulled wrong and is...

Aww…cute guy with beautiful colors. 🥰 I always love when they use the super duper tail hold like that…twirling it back onto itself to lock it in place.

I have to caution against tong feeding. Chameleons are much much quicker with their tongue shoot and grab than we are with our release, and this can result in a tongue injury. Some chameleons have even had such a bad injury, that they lost their tongues completely! Sadly, I’m not exaggerating or...

I totally forgot to point out where she is. :rolleyes:😂 Guess that’s a good thing then.

Don’t forget this is a short month. Only 2 more days of February, so get your votes in!

Yay! 🥳 🥂 That’s doing pretty darn good, considering it’s cooler months. They like it hot…like 90F, to get busy. It can take a little bit of time to get them started, but well worth the wait. 🙂

Make sure to read the blog I gave you the link to. I go over lay bins and best substrate and all that good stuff. Here’s the link again. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/

It can be a challenge to hang branches and plants in screen enclosures, but there are solutions. The first is Dragon Ledges. https://dragonstrand.com/dragon-ledges/ These are awesome and worth their weight in gold. If for any reason those aren’t an option, I’ve been using garden trellis with...

She is very good at hiding. I just spent far too long trying to find her and was about to worry…and there she is watching me freak out. 😂

Find a sleeping Stella. She’s been stripping her money tree leaves, so a super easy one.
