My baby veiled chameleon, Axel, just came in today. He was super cold by the time he got here (avi pic is of him as soon as he came in) and I think thats why hes hanging just below his UVA/UVB bulb. Ive seen some pix of chams with UV burns and it can be bad, so I was wondering can it hurt him...

Sure thing! ;) I think he is just so cute!! I heated his misting water until it was just a bit above room temp. Ive heard to get it quite a bit hotter than that, but I wanted to go slow with anything that could burn him. Also, hes hanging right below his UVA/UVB bulb. Ive seen some nasty pix...

-Update!!- Hes finally here! The poor little guy spent around about 48 hours in a little shipping box, he was mildly dehydrated and extremely cold! He took off up the side of the enclosure as soon as I got him inside. I tried misting him along with the enclosure but he started changing color so...

jdog1027, I see your point. I think the zipper idea is out, because it does work extremely well with my soft mesh enclosure but screen isn't as flexible at all and it sounds like Ill be working on an actual door with hinges design. I really want this to be "function as well as fashion." :D An...

I hadn't thought of using metal for framework. That would probably be more attractive than PVC too. My reason for not wanting wood framework is that the cham would be coming in direct contact with the wood, which basically rules out most treated wood or varnishes I could use to keep the wood...

What Im wanting to do is build the main enclosure frame from the smallest PVC pipe I can find, most likely square if I can find it (none of the hardware stores here have it) then cover that in aluminum window screening. (Ive heard that some feeder insects tend to chew through plastic) Now, this...

No news yet I'm afraid. From what Ive gathered Fedex has stopped running for the night, and with any luck he should be here before tomorrow afternoon. Im worried about him staying in that box all night, in WV its around high 60s right now and hes still just a baby. But I have my emergency kit...

Thank you, this is a great reassurance. Ive been worrying myself sick over him! If he still hasn't gotten here by tomorrow though I'm going to be calling the shipping company to see whats up!

I got him from LLLReptile.com Ive heard good and bad things about them, but so far they have been totally helpful with me in regards to my cham. I tried calling but they have already closed for the day. And I do have a tracking number, would you believe he was in Memphis for over 14 hours! 8 Of...

Hi, I'm a first time keeper for my Veiled chameleon which I'm still waiting to be shipped to my house.. It was shipped out yesterday by way of overnight ground shipping and it still hasn't come in. Its been over 24 hours seance he was put in that little box and sent out. I doubt he has any...
