Thanks for your imput camimom, but how is an ambiance temperature between 79f-81f not warm enough for a 9 weeks old Veiled Chameleon? I was told from my other threads that they are a good temperature range for Kiddo.

How did he end up getting a respiratory infection?

This is my second thread on this topic and this time with an "ask for help" form because I have yet to find a solution. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Kiddo, a 9 weeks old male Veiled Chameleon and has been under my care for 1 week. Handling - I handle Kiddo 2-3 times a week to either...

Does anybody know anything about the problem I'm having right now? Please, it would be greatly appreciated and a great help to prevent anything that can or is going to happen to Kiddo.

Kiddo is 9 weeks old. Without the basking lamp, the temperature is at a low of 75f-76f and a high of 81f-82f. This also brings me to my other concern(priority concern right now) which I have not figured out for a few days now. I see his mouth gaped open(not very wide, just a small opening)...

One of my mist settings goes on 3 hours before bedtime for 2 minutes. I would consider the water room temperature, neither cold or warm. If I had to be more specific, I would go with more warm and nowhere near cold. A third of his cage(16x16x30) from the basking spot and down is dry and does...

Hey everyone! First of all, I would like to thank everybody for their support, advice and many things I've learned about chameleons/chameleon care. :) I've been observing Kiddo my 9 weeks old male Veiled chameleon when the misting system turns on. Black stripes and dots appears when he happens...

Thanks for winterbones! Are my temperatures too hot for Kiddo? For the 6 days I've had him; his mouths gapes open a little, but not very wide. He doesn't only do it under the light, but also pretty much anywhere in his cage. Should I be concerned of anything? I've done some research and I'm...

Sorry, I haven't got back to this thread. By the way, Kiddo is now 9 weeks old. I have a horizontal branch about 5" under the light. Temperature of high is 78f-79f and low of 75f-76f. Update: He is not hanging under the light as much now, he would just crawl under it for less than a minute and...

Hey everybody, I am still fairly new to the chameleon world and I am learning more and more everyday :D I have a 9 week old male Veiled chameleon and his name is Kiddo. How often should I take him out for some real sunlight? How long should we be out there for? I do provide him a...

Thanks Darwin, I was looking down the list of possible symptoms and I'm not coming across any of those symptoms with Kiddo. I'm still so confused :confused:

Phew..what a relief..I'm glad I have all of you here to help me ;) So just to confirm.. The light(Reptisun 5.0 T8 Florescent) will not be too hot that can cause thermal burns? Also, it won't be too much UV for him? Thanks a bunch! :)

Why do they do that? Can it be or is it bad for them?

What can cause a respiratory infection? I have the following for hydration and temperature: In a 16x16x30 screen cage.. automated misting system a water dripper light fixture with a Reptisun 5.0

I have an automated misting system along with a dripping system. The temperature has a high of 80f and the low of 75f. Here are some pictures that might not be too clear because I had to take it through the screen. If you look closely, you can see his mouth.

This will be my second post on this matter because I'm getting really worried on what this could be :( The situation is I see him often with his mouth opened, but not widely opened..just a little bit. When I get closer to him and try to take a picture, he will close his mouth. What can be...

Sorry, I forgot to attach this picture.

I've witness this a few times since I brought home my chameleon Kiddo. This is his 3rd day home and I am fairly new to the chameleon world. He climbs right under the screen where my UV light fixture is and stays there a minute or two. As he is moving around under there, his arms are shaking...

So Kiddo just needs a nice cool spot to cool down? I'm on it! I'll just put more plants to give it some shade to create a cooler spot for Kiddo. carol5208, if you could fill me in on possible respiratory infections and preventing it..that would be very helpful ;) Thanks very much...

He's doing it anywhere in the cage mostly away from the lights. Currently the cage temperature is averaging between 78f-82f. I was not there long enough to see how long his mouth stayed open, but once or twice I see it open for maybe a minute and once I get closer to look at him, he closes...
