I'm not sure if my cham has respiratory infection, I was told and from what researches have said that if your cham breathes with their mouth opened while making a crackling/wheezing noise then it is a respiratory infection. Here are some info on my cham Kiddo. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon...

Thanks Kate! I've only had Kiddo for about 3 weeks now and he had shed twice and this is the first time I've seen him eat his own shedding :)

Is it normal for my 3 months old male Veiled to be eating his own shed? Also, is this good or bad for him? Sorry for the double post, my internet lagged the first post.

I believe it's normal especially after moving him into a new environment, just give him a few days to get use to his new home and I'm sure he'll be fine :)

As for me and recommended by many others on this forum, I wouldn't put any kind of waterfall for a chameleon. Your enclosure may look nice with a waterfall as it mimics a natural water source for your chameleon, but it will also increase the percentage of unhealthy conditions for your chameleon...

Is this post referring to my current setup on my misting and water dripper? If so, yes I do have a proper drainage set up that can hold water up to a week or possibly more, but I have never waited more than a week to empty the drainage water :) Also, if that post is referring to my misting...

I have a 11 weeks old male Veiled. My current enclosure set up is a 16x16x30 Exo-Terra Flexarium with a mistking along with a dripper. My real foliage is a center umbrella and diagonally lined with a croton and a dracaena. My misting is currently set up for 3 minute sessions at 12pm, 3pm and...

Also, I see him do some swallowing sometimes. As far as me being there to see that, I've only seen it once every other day. Does anybody know what's going on with my cham?

This will be the first time to witness Kiddo(male Veiled) have his mouth opened with his tongue showing. What is this a sign of? I did my best to take the picture while he was doing that, apologies for poor quality picture.

Thank you Sohumvet! I now have a better idea of the differences between UVA and UVB! :D

So UVB helps chameleons produce vitamin D3, what or how does UVA help chameleons?

Okay..so do I need UVA? Or do I need both UVA and UVB?

I'm thinking about buying the Zoo Med Repti Halogen Heat Lamp that generates heat and UVA, but no UVB. I'm confused on the differences besides the UVA generating longer wavelengths than UVB. So I guess the question is, will my Veiled be okay with UVA and no UVB if I were to just use the Zoo Med...

I understand that UVA generates longer wavelengths than UVB. As providing the lights for my Veiled cham, does a chameleon need both UVA and UVB?

Perfect! Thanks maxttu! I was looking around to see any other leaves that was bitten off, but it seems like that was his first leaf. He had his full meals yesterday, but ran out of feeders just this morning. I'm on my way to buy more now! :D

Today is my first time to witness Kiddo(male Veiled) take a bite out of the umbrella plant he has. Is it safe for him to eat that? I just ran out of feeders today and I'm going to buy more today.

What other insects should I add to his daily diet? Where can I look up some other gut-loading choices for the feeders? Thanks! :D

Today is the first time I've witness this. The auto mist turned on while my chameleon was around a few foliage; during the misting, he walked through where the nozzle is(4-5 inches in distance from the nozzle) and he got misted on then his left eye puffed up like a bubble that's about to pop...

I am a first time cham owner, I brought home Kiddo my 10 weeks old male Veiled and he's been under my care for 2 weeks now. I've done many research before bringing Kiddo home, so I'm just wondering from other cham veteran's perspective on how well I'm doing so far. Chameleon Info: Your...

I'm kinda in the same situation here with possible respiratory infection. My male Veiled cham(Kiddo) is 10 weeks old and he's been under my care for just about 2 weeks now. Since day 3 under my care, I see occasional gaping and not only under the light; he gapes from here to there. Gaping is the...
