I got Sam some branches for his enclosure until his new one comes in.. I tried to recreate a forest top for him, but am worried it may be a bit too much.. I washed the branches off and dried em.. It’s probably too much, but he seems to like it
Ah Yes! So.. I noticed that he’ll eat if he’s outside. Today, he ate a calcium-dusted cricket 😁 We gotta get more though.. I was so happy when his calcium came in! He loves the tree outside and I’ll get him some branches right away! I didn’t know you could get them from your yard. I was so...
Oops. I’ve been trying to hand feed him, but he won’t. Then, I took him outside and placed him on a branch and he zapped at a fly. Thank goodness he didn’t get it. So I put a cricket on the branch and he ate it.

I did order the light you recommended and am still waiting for his cage to come in the mail. He ate a cricket earlier and then I gave him some water and what I do now, since he’s not eating well, I spray where he drinks and then blow some calcium powder on it.. I’m not sure if this...
Ok, thank you so much.. I’m not experienced at all and I didn’t do too much research, so I know I did many things wrong. I’m just hoping it’s not too late.. Also, he just defecated and it was diarrhea.. I know this means sickness
I’m not sure and I don’t have any money right now. I called and they said it’s $55 in total, to be seen and a fecal testing. I’m gonna ask my brother if he’ll lend me the money
Ok, so he’s acting strange now. Ma said he doesn’t look too good and she saw him dangling off of the bamboo limb. She texted at first and said he was dead.. She actually thought he was dead oh lord. My heart dropped. I called and she said he’s ok, just doesn’t look good. What can I do to help...
Info:
-Sam is a male veiled chameleon and is about 6-7 months old. He’s been in my care for about 5 months.
-when I first got him, I’d handle him quite often which, from what I’ve read, isn’t good, but I was new and happy lol (still am!)
-I feed him feeder crickets from a pet...
I’ll get back leg pics when I get home, guys. He’s got the little spurs on the back of his legs that were there when I first got him.. I looked it up that night and found out he was a male. You guys are really helpful for a first time, inexperienced owner lol
Thanks for a speedy response and the info. I was unaware of this. Until I can contact a vet, what can I do to help him? What light is good for him? I’ve been looking for a good light and I’m to get paid either today or tomorrow. Could you please send a link for a light that I can order him...
Ok, so I got Sam about 4 months ago. I’m very new at chameleon care as you all can probably tell lol. But he’s not eating anymore and hasn’t regularly for a week and a half about. We buy him crickets from pet stores that are near us, little and big. When we first got him, I would put the baby...
