I had a vailed male for about 3 years, got bitten twice. once was really painful because he mistook my finger for food. what happened was he was on a loose sort of branch, i went to feed him a grub on my finger, instead of the grub going to him, he came to me! he shot his tongue out and came...

it's a Yemen veiled chameleon, just starting off with the one for now.

but it's a female, wont she need somewhere to dig when she needs to lay eggs??

can you use clay pebbles, the ones used in hydroponics, under the substrate for a chameleon viv? or could they be toxic or cause health problems??

I'm not 100% sure but might have gotten an infection from the removal of the skin on the palms of his feet/hands, or an infection from his missing nail (but looked like they were there, as his feet were no longer swollen and I could see a small bit of nail).

i did have 3 wooden peach tree branch's that i put in the oven to steralise and then in the cage, they were from my older setup, also had repti vines and plastic plants. the humidity was around 75%. but it's too late now anyway, i'll not be getting another for a long while.

Yes the palms. Because I wasn't able to handle him untill recently, what I thought was splitting was infact retained sheds on his palms/hands/feet. This was quite thick and splitting and brown which is why when I saw them I was really shocked and thought that they were split all the way through...

sad to say but my cham took a turn for the worse and passed away 2 days ago, kept soaking his feet, most of what was on there had come off. came to switch on his lights and found him at the bottom of the viv lifeless. dont think i'll be getting another one for a long while.

i'm a little scared rite now. i cleaned off some of the dead skin (it was a lot!) but there still is some there, after cleaning i went to put him in his viv and he just closed his eyes, lightened in colour and puffed out a little, now he appears to be fast asleep on my hand. all in a few seconds...

there isnt anything that he could be grasping and causing this, it's more to do with his shedding as there are some clumps of dried skin on his hands/feet. the only reason i'm dusting daily is because i just got him a month ago and i've read online that under a year you should dust every day...

i have had my new chameleon for 1 month, it's a little wild so i haven't handled him untill now, i have only just got him used to my hands, he still hisses, but now that i have had the chance to examin him, his feet ate split in the middle, very dry clumps of skin and dry blood in the muddle...
