You need to get a thermometer ASAP.. You NEED to know what the ambient and most importantly the basking temperature is... Digital is best by far, the dial ones are notoriously inaccurate. Temperatures are VERY important

There is no adams apple on a chameleon lol.. doubtful that its a blockage either. Are you seeing him drinking? Dehydration can actually cause swelling in the tongue.. If he's not hydrated enough he could have problems swallowing

If it's the exo-terra combo probe it does have a large tip.. If you could take the top of the enclosure off and notch the aluminum just a bit (big enough for just the wire) you could hold the wire in the notch and reinstall the top

Sounds like a good theory to me, he's probably just jet legged.. My panther, the lights come on @ 9am and it takes about 30 minutes for him to warm up and start moving. He's non stop until the lights go out @ 9pm and then he crawls up to his sleeping spot and is out in about 10 minutes.. Always...

I have my guy in the rec room, light timers set for 9am-9pm. It works since I'm not in the room till an hour after the lights come on and when his lights turn off I can turn the lights off on his half of the room. With your schedule you pretty much need him on the schedule he's on since you have...

without pictures it's impossible to tell..

Probably won't physically hurt him, but after awhile he will get frustrated at not being able to feed and may lose interest in the cup and the feeders.. Try making a new feeder out of non transparent material or paint the outside of the current one so he cannot see through it.. That way he will...

My panther is very very calm. If I'm working on his enclosure (changing out the feeder cup, adding vines, cleaning, etc.) I can't keep him off me. He'll perch on my shoulder and watch, or he'll walk across my shoulders and onto my other arm. A couple times I've had to actually grab him as he'd...

I got him in the middle of October. The day I brought it home he wasn't very friendly. Never tried to bite, he would just puff up and hiss. I hand fed him to start with and after a couple days he would walk right on my hand. I'm not sure how old he is exactly, I'm guessing about 8 or 9 months...

It could be that you don't have enough light on it as well. You need a 6500k bulb for plants

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eswowifoyY Video of my boy and his new enclosure. sorry for the quality, trying to record with one hand.. I'll try and set up the camera on the counter tops next time

I would try seeing if you could get the pot it's planted in to drain better.. I usually have a pot with lots of holes on the bottom (sometimes add more). Put a layer or rocks on the bottom, top with a mixture of sand and organic soil, then rocks on top.. Seems to drain very well

Veiled Chameleons are going to be larger than a panther for sure, I'm sure there are some panthers that are larger than some veileds, but typically it's the Veiled that is larger. I got lucky with my panther, he has never tried to bite or even his (except for the day I bought him)...

There is no way to tell.. Seems like every Chameleon has his/her own personality. Some of them are very docile, while others don't even like you walking in the same room as them.. He may get used to you he may not.. Veiled Chameleons in particular become more aggressive when they mature.. Just...

That's the January pic winner right there

I have to say that he's a she... female 95% sure Doesn't have the predominant ridges and casque, no bulge under the tail, and dull coloring..

I agree, no MBD appears to be present, looks good.. The enclosure on the other hand needs A LOT of work.. The bark on the floor needs to be removed, more vines/branches need to be added, a live plant would be great but even some fake pythos vines woven through the branches and vines would help a...

Veiled chams discharge excess salts through the nostrils, perfectly normal.

You could, Be a heck of a lot cheaper! If not, two basics would be just fine, might wanna buy a couple extra nozzles though

-12 degrees would be warm lol.. It hit -24 degrees Celsius here, -40 with the windchill.. Able to maintain the temps and humidity in his cage though.. He just moved into his new enclosure too, hopefully within the next week he gets his appetite back
