As of right now, he's opening them both most of the day. But sometimes he will have his right eye closed. Before it was his left. He hasn't lost his appetite (which is one thing we had heard to keep an eye on). And when his enclosure gets misted, he is rotating his eyes around in the socket...

My bad! I should have mentioned. We do the hand mister bottle when we "shower" him. The water quality is decent but not so much that I would trust using it on Tillman. We would love to give him an actual rain shower but we live in southern California. It's been like a year since we've seen an...

Good question! I've heard of people using bee pollen but didn't know what they were doing with it.

Man, I WISH Tillman would let me take him outside. But the moment he gets near the patio door he turns ugly brown and gets stressed out. Maybe he senses the resident hawk we have in our complex. That's the big reason my hubs won't let us take him outside. we have a hawk that lives in the trees...

Hi all. Can someone explain in layman terms what exactly is the difference between a T8 and a T5 hood? I THOUGHT were had a ReptiSun T5 hood but I guess it was a Zilla T8 hood (don't ask. Been one of those months). Can someone explain the difference to me? Is a T8 bad for our veiled...

I don't THINK it is. We use bottled water water, the purified kind. A local pet store told us that was okay.

Yeah we're struggling with the dehydration issue right now. :( We got him drinking and he looked good at his vet visit recently but now he's being stubborn about drinking again. We haven't tried the warm water approach. Well do that tomorrow for his "shower". We mist him in the shower on a...

He's my hubs' chameleon. When we first got him we were told he was a she. He wanted to name her Tilly. When I showed a pic on facebook and the spurs were explained to us, my hubs just said "oops. Looks like Tilly is a Tillman". :)

Thanks! I appreciate the suggestion. Fingers crossed lil Tillman gets back to his happy, semi-grumpy self.

They were around 1-2 minutes. I was told to extend them to around 5 minutes long. We're going to do that tonight.

Hi again. We gave Tillman a "shower" earlier and now his left eye is closed and he hasn't opened it yet. He's been rubbing his eye once in a while lately but the vet we took him to too said everything looked normal. Has anyone else experienced closed eyes after misting? His lights went out...

My husband's veiled chameleon Tillman fell asleep on my head one time. Complete with his tail wrapped around my glasses. *sigh* Felt so bad having to wake him up to move him. I had no idea how heavy those lil guys sleep! I wish I could sleep that hard.

So I went home for lunch today and checked in on our "lil sh*ts" as we lovingly call them and noticed Tillman sitting like a dog on his haunches under the basking light. Is this normal? I know we've been having a helluva time trying to get the temperature just right. Was in the low-mid 80s...

Happiness that Tillman started drinking water again and today he ate 3 crickets! But the next problem? Heat. So we exchanged our blue 65W heat to a 100W which was waaaaay too hot for lil Tillman. Today we switched to a basking spot lamp at 75W and when I took the temperature using the probe...

Thanks for the advice!! I did a hand misting and kept it going until I saw him start drinking. After that he started drinking. We redid his cage and he now goes to where the dripper drops on the leaves. But we will be looking into a mister soon.

Hello. EDITED TO FILL THIS OUT: Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Was tagged as a "Juvenile Veiled Chameleon". Male and had him for 5 full days. Handling - He's always wanting to come out of his cage and climb onto our hands/arms. He tries to climb up my face to my head. Feeding - When he...
