Ok, so I got a Veiled 6 month old who recently got really aggressive from nothing. Every time I open up his enclosure he either hides in the plants or puffs up and starts lunging at me. At first I thought it was pretty cute, because when he lunged with his mouth wide open he just kept hitting my...
I don't have a particular problem, was just asking for any ideas but here it is :
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - About 6 months old Veiled chameleon (Marky), in my care for 4-5 months.
Handling - 1/week
Feeding - There is a store 2 min away from where I live, they breed their own worms and...
Well, an idea that comes to my mind is this:
I've noticed that my chamy hates it when I spray him or even drip water on him, he doesn't like to have any direct contact with water. Your Icarus, from what I understand is in your back yard, presuming you got a hose or something start spraying every...
Well Im far far from an expert, but this is what I've found :
1. yes Male Yemen/Veiled chammy is the best choice for a beginner.
- First a male since, the females have some issues with unfertilized eggs and laying and things... which could be very dangerous and a headscracher for beginners...
Yeah thats a She :D still very beautiful !
Btw I could propose you make yourself a screen door. I made a similar enclosure about a month ago. You could take a look here :

I just posted it. If you want some help or...
I had the same problem. Every time I would hand feed him since I wanted to monitor exactly how much he would eat but after a while I couldn't be there to feed him all the time. So I started putting the crickets in a weirdly shaped cup, so they don't get out and he wouldn't go near them. If you...
Hi everybody ! I'm Aleks I'm 23 years old about to graduate Dental medicine next year. After loving and wanting chameleons all my life I finally reached a point at which I can set aside time, effort and money to care for a chammy. Around March this year I went and bought me a beautiful male...
OK should I be worried about this ?
When I take him out of the cage he becomes the color I've always seen him in :

After I put him back in the cage, he becomes this :

Oh dang poor thing. I myself am a first time cham owner but I read up a lot on how to handle and take care of one and what I'm seeing in the video is really not proper for the chamy. She should just get a parrot or something. One thing that really frightens me is the condition of the chammy...
Ok, i just put the thermometer next to the basking spot aprox the same distance he is from the lamp will be following it closely, it should be around 30 C correct ? Here are some better pics of the inside of the terrarium :
I stopped the lights just for the picture...
I think it's the lamp kuzz I moved it a bit not stable and he actually turned his body towards the lamp. I'm just kinda scared that he wouldn't be getting enough heat, don't know if I should be. The termomether at the bottom shows 22 C.
So a little update, I put in a couple of horizontal branches on which he can grab on to and go about on different levels in the cage. He poops in the opposite side of the cage from where the fountain is. I'm a bit concerned about his behavior for the last couple of hours after I added the...
Ok so ! I removed the red bulb, put in a normal one and put it outside of the cage aprox 10 cm form the top of the cage with some branches underneath it. As for the plant, it is 100% the one I need, spent about 2 days searching for it. Thank you for the info guys, I'm just trying to build up the...
Well I don't know about that, it's a HeatGlo from Exoterra, Infrared heat lamp. The guy at the store convinced me that its not even in the chams visible spectre and that he can sleep with it on. Been with it for a day or two and hes snooring away at night.
I currently have no other place to put...
Heya guys, I'm Aleks I've just gotten my first chamy a week ago and joined the community to get in touch with others. I've always wanted one since I saw one on the Animal planet when I was a child but never was actually able to be mature enough to take care of one ! So now I finally set aside...
