Today was Espio's first successful shower! I tried a couple times before but he would always speed crawl to the top of my head and refuse to get down. Today he actually sat on his stick and plant for about 10 minutes in the shower and drank a little bit. :) I'm so proud of him! At first I didn't...

When I first started feeding Espio fruits and veggies as snacks I had to hold them between 2 fingers and wiggle it around like it was alive. Once he recognized it as food he ate it from his little feeding spot. He LOVES apples, cut into really tiny pieces. He also eats carrots, collard greens...

I'm going to have to try this idea! Our house has no AC and it's been in the 90's all week! The ambient temperature in poor Espio's cage is getting too hot for him.

To ease my anxious first time reptile momma mind, I thought I'd copy something I saw on another post on here. I took a bunch of pictures of Espio this morning before letting him outside in his outside enclosure- he wasn't super thrilled but he tolerated it. I was just hoping if y'all could tell...

Thank you for your advice St. Jimmy. You've answered several of my questions on different posts before, and I really appreciate your information. :)

The problem was we are first time reptile owners. I wanted information. Maybe argument is a strong word. For all I knew my husband could have been right. I wanted people with more knowledge about this to help me know how to best care for Espio. Letting him out or keeping him in his cage. Thank...

So my husband and I have started getting into a bit of an argument about how much Espio gets to be out of his cage. I let Espio out of his cage every day for an hour or two so that he can roam around the sun room. To do this though, I have to handle Espio at least twice a day, getting him out of...

After an afternoon of hard work and several small cuts on my arms and hands, Espio now has an outside enclosure! My yard is pretty much half shade and half sun thanks to a big tree right next to us. This isn't his permanent house, just an area for him to enjoy in the afternoons while the dog and...

Thanks jannb! I'll try that!

So Espio (6 months,male,veiled) has been getting to spend a lot of his day free ranging since we've moved. The whole time he's out he is climbing on things and exploring and moving all around, not just basking in the sun. I've noticed he seems to want to go to bed earlier though. Lights off are...

More info and a video of the foot rubbing I couldn't figure out how to upload a video to the attachment so I just put it on youtube. Here is the link for the video of Espio rubbing his foot on the branch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mva8X2pfDkQ&feature=youtu.be He never does this...

Hey guys, My 6 month old veiled boy has starting rubbing his feet on things? I noticed he started doing it on the sticks in his terrarium. Then today he did it while climbing on my arm. He just started rubbing his back foot around on my arm. It doesn't seem to bother him. And it doesn't seem...

Thanks guys!

Hi guys! I've heard once they get older, you only need to feed chameleons every other day. At what age do you do that? Or do most of you just feed them every day? Espio is a 6 month old boy veiled chameleon. Right now he eats about 15 crickets a day. At what age should I start feeding him...

Absolutbill- He's a veiled chameleon and we live in Northern Colorado. It's the sun room, so it's basically just a normal room in the house that gets a lot of sunshine and has a screen door. When he was exploring it he tended to stay over by the screen door in the sunshine. :) If I set up a...

Hi guys, So Espio is about 6 months old now and had decided he wants to explore the world. Lately whenever he sees me in the room he starts running to his terrarium door and clawing to get out. So I set up our sun room with some of the sticks from his terrarium and his plant. I opened the...

Also, his face looks scalier lately?? You can kind of see it in the second picture. It that normal?

Hi all, My husband says I'm crazy and I have a history of being overly concerned about my animals but since Espio is our first cham I just want to make sure he's OK. I feel like his face has gotten browner over the past couple of weeks, especially along his cascade. He was all green when we...
