At what age is a Veiled Full grown? (months)

Well from all this advise, I've come to the conclusion, as I sorta guessed that it isnt necessary to clean a branch from a live tree...but if it makes me feel better about it, ill put in in the oven for 30 mins or so. I think im going to avoid the bleach....that stuff never sounds like a good...

Alright, thanks everyone, a lot of really good advise

This may be a stupid question, but im simply just being cautious....How safe is it to simply take wood from outdoors, let it air dry and use it in your chameleons cage? After being to the pets stores, and noticing that a simple piece of drift wood was $24, I started to wonder why I couldn't just...

I dont own one yet, however I have both a small glass terrarium with a screen top, and a very large aluminum-screened cage. But before I get a veiled, I was wondering what age is recommended for each cage....sizes of both cages are given on my first post.

Until what age should a youth veiled chameleon stay in a glass terrarium with a screen top, thats 24inH*18inW*18inD, until it needs a larger screened cage? And at what age is a youth veiled able to live in a 4ftH*2ftW*2ftD screened cage, without fear that he might fall from a high spot and get...

he's pooping, but its orange and mucous like. The pet store did have substrate yes, and I'm using paper towels as a substrate.

sleeping in the daytime after trip to the doctors. I took him to the vet today, and they gave him a de-wormer and told me to feed him baby food with a syringe. all hes doing is sleeping now though, when this morning, he was moving about the cage. Could this be due to all the stress that he has...

no no no, i don't have a dish for drinking...only a dripper and misting. The dish is for catching the water from the dripper, so the paper towels at the bottom don't get drenched and cause bacteria to grow..once the dripper is done dripping i usually empty it right away. But what worries me is...

After purchasing my second chameleon, I would have though everything would be okay....but today i noticed his urinate was orangey and no poop, just a bunch of clear liquidly substance. He also doesn't really seem too interested in food at all. He constantly moves around the cage, and rarely...

Linear being the long tube shaped bulbs? I really want to switch the UVB, but my hood wont fit a long tube sized bulb....are there any substitutions that are known to be safe to chameleons?

Thank you Thanks to everyone for responding with such great advice, You guys are always so helpful on this site, from your advice, to the references given. As for me I've been doing a lot of research lately, and have decided to give it another go, by purchasing another chameleon. He is...

Do you know if this particular brand has been ruled out for harmful UVB lights?-Or is it known to be a coil bulb that may be harmful to a chameleons health?

R.I.P ziggy marley Sadly my little guy passed away today...its been a tough last couple of days, but I'm relieved that he isn't in pain now. However, if I want to get a chameleon again, I'd like to be more prepared. I understand that I was told some things, multiple times, but did not...

i know you guys are right...i should have listened more carefully. Im so sorry...Im just very depressed right now. I loved my chameleon.

Thanks for the advise from everyone....obviously there isn't too much I can do at this point but wait. -Eric
