This is how we would feel. For a chameleon in the wild a tree would be moving on any windy day. I think of it like this. One windy day every week or two should not bother them, but daily might be a bit much. It is a factor to consider though and something I will watch for.
There are other options if you want something that looks a bit nicer. I don’t quite have the site up yet, but I have been developing an enclosure system using extruded aluminum. Prices would vary but the key part is that the plans will be free. I will sell kits but you will also be able to...
Well it’s pretty much like it sounds like. I am going to be traveling and living full time in an RV. I have not moved them yet as I need some time to find out how the temperature and humidity run. So far temperature is good but definitely need to stay stocked on propane though. It has 2...
He sucks! Sorry but I knew his cham would die a while back when I saw his set up. Improper UVB and no humidity. He has sick and dead animals all the time and claims it just happens. But no animals don't just die for no reason. He has terrible husbandry for much of what I have seen. Leave...
I have some great deals to offer. Due to unforeseen circumstances I need to find homes for 5 veiled chameleons. there 3 females and 2 males. I also have 5 brand new 24in UVB fixtures w/ 6% Arcadia bulbs. I have one new in box Zoo Med XL 24x24x48. I was planning on going to the reptile...
I can’t say for sure but to me it looks like stuck shed, but could be from a healing wound.
On thing to notice is that you can see wrinkles under it. So it is not deep.
That is a tender spot so even stuck shed could be tender
Your temp is fine. You don’t need to go warmer. My ambient temp has barely been 73 and they have stayed active and feeding. I don’t say cold is best but they handle it very well. Their natural habitat gets pretty cool
As mentioned it will produce some heat so do keep track. On the plants side it isn’t going to be enough to make a difference. As a rough standard 15 to 20 watts minimum for led. Any thing less can’t penetrate far enough for our chameleon cage. That bulb is 7watts. Won’t hurt but not going to...
Tell him no crickets tomorrow if he doesn’t go to bed. Lol
Seriously though unless it’s going on all night don’t worry. I have seen it, like oh no I forgot to pick a spot for bed
For the record I had a female get into a tree and had to leave town. It was 40s every night. Took a week to finally find her in the tree. I only knew she was there because the roaches would disappear when I wasn't looking.
DON'T buy from LLL. Sorry but this is not the first of this. They attend the shows in OR, it is 16hr if you are kicking it. They always have a variety but the animals are so so. But how did they get there? Do they have nice travel cages ? or do they spend days in the tiny cup they sell them in...
They call it snalt it is normal.

Do not feel bad. I can see you did what you were told was right. I have been there and I know it hurts. You are not a bad mom just a new one. The key things to health will be the proper UV light, T%HO 6% set on top of cage with basking branch about 9 inches down.
The main issues are that the...
As mentioned corrections will be needed. However at his stage I do not know if he will come back without vet intervention. I do not mean to sound harsh but I would not invest more money till you see a vet. Then Just the proper UV and vitamins. I say this because his odds may not be good so I...
We need pics and fill out https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/
Without seeing and knowing the dietary and UV schedules it is hard to guess. But MBD is a common one. If it is a a shaking stage then a vet will be needed as he will likely need injections, or drops.
OK I understand. As a parent we see our kids get excited a lot of things and then they loose interest. As parents we don't always know what our kids will take serious enough. So it is up to you to continue on the path of showing them your commitment. So things will have to grow with time.
So...
18x18 is small. Is it the high or width that is too much for parents? 2x2x3 can work, but 2x2 should be the floor space. What is your parents specific issue with the size?
