So I took my chameleon to a vet. I found a vet close by (Loving Care Medical Clinic in Illinois) that was recommended on another site by someone. It was pretty much a waste of time and money. Although the lady worked with lizards at a zoo previously, she was unable to identify my chameleon. She...
Oops, as soon as I read your post I rushed to get her in the shower and yea, she didn't want to wake up. It was like she was sleep-walking but eventually opened her eyes and grabbed on with all four legs.
She hated the shower at first, was grabbing at the air trying to get something. She then...
This keeps getting better and better... First it's not a veiled, then it's imported and wild caught, and then it's some very difficult chameleon to keep and I'm a beginner. I can't exchange it, I don't have the info. I'll just have to do the best I can with her. My fiance got really sick for a...
uh............ I'm not sure what to do. What a jerk! I made a beginner mistake and did not keep any information, I got my "veiled" and was just happy to have it. Even if I did have his info, I'd feel bad giving this little girl back. I've grown attached in the short time I've had her. So she's...
Hey Brad, Julirs makes a good point. I noticed Chris Anderson identified that other chameleon that Julirs posted the link to. How can you tell if this girl is a veiled or the other kind, a general chameleon I think it was?
I got the currently questionable chameleon from the all animal expo in northern illinois. The guy told me that it is a veiled chameleon so if it is not, I was swindled. Here are some more pics.
Well?
Thank you everyone for all the help. Here's a picture of Zanzibar...
I guess I'll leave it at manually misting for now. Does anyone have an idea of how old she is according to her size?
Scratch the mister I mentioned previously, I read a review, not good. Any suggestions on a good mister?
I will probably pick up that hand mister too. Thanks for the tip on the bug bowl! Sounds like it should work. Do you rip one of the jumping legs off the cricket so they can't escape? You...
Do you know if this mister is ok?

I only have one cham so I wouldn't need the professional one listed below it.
Zoo Med 18" 5.0 UVB bulb----- Perfect, will get this.
$13.99 each $13.99
38 gallon basic Reptarium----- What is ideal size for adult female? I'm looking at this...
Ok, I seem to find myself in a purchasing cycle here. I do research and buy stuff, then do more research and realize I bought the wrong stuff so I have to buy more "right stuff". I have a young female veiled chameleon named Zanzibar and want to provide her with only the best. I'm not cheap and...
A lot of people are posting what can be fed to veileds, but what do you feed your veileds (talking to everyone)? I want to make sure my cham receives proper nutrition via food but there are so many different things you can feed them that I think it would be difficult to get them all. I've heard...
So that's the trick! I always wondered how people keep their crickets in a bowl to feed their chams and it's as simple as ripping a jumping leg off. Question though, how long will the cricket last after ripping it's leg off? I've had my cham for four days and he ate 4 crickets the first day and...
How do you all feed this to your veiled chams? I got my cham last week and am trying to feed her kale. I've read to use veggie clips and since I don't have one yet I just hung the full leaf near her favorite perch by clamping the stem in the cage lid. Do I need to chop it up into little pieces...
