Turk ate out of my palm today! Still didn’t want to be picked up, but definitely less sketched out by my hand

I think i need to be focusing on that back hand I think he could tell i was nervous too. I should try a little more confidence too

I try going really slow with a flat hand in front of him Once he relaxes a little i try easing under his front feet

That is my project for friday. I’m getting a better suited tree for the cage, so i will be doing that on friday as well I’m also still having a lot of trouble picking him up. I’m yet to be successful with it. So I’m nervous about getting him out of the cage

Turk is still sketched out by me I think he gets better every time i feed him though He now lets me cup feed him, which was out of the question when i got him

How long did it take for everyone else’s chams to get fully adjusted to their new homes?

Im thinking maybe a ficus or something of the like

Thanks I’m from florida as well so he will be getting sunshine :)

Btw he has been drinking a lot more Hadn’t eaten that much today, but i think thats because of the shed And now that you mention it some of the parts that have already shed are slightly brighter

Good to know. Thanks

lol i ust tagged her because that is who i just got the cham from

thanks i wasn't sure about misting at the moment cause i hear i can cause bacteria and stuff in between the old and new layer of skin

Thanks. hes very grumpy now due to the shedding. thanks for the compliment on my cage however I think i will be switching the tree out soon. i don't like the big wide leaves. it doesn't seem to be as comfortable for him to climb on. i want a more branch-y plant

I just received my new chameleon Turk over the weekend and he just started shedding. this is my first chameleon, so i don't know a lot about this process. What do I need to know/do about this process?

My name is Joel and I’m new to the forum and the chameleon world I received Turk over the weekend He’s very nervous around me but he’s getting there. He cup fed while i held the cup today! He also started shedding today. I never realized how quickly that happens!

Hadn’t even looked that closely at the pic. It’s pretty scary when people that are making things for the animals do things like that. It reminds me of companies that make hamster/chinchilla/rabbit cages that don’t actually make cages big enough for the expert recommended size

I assume the length of the uvb bulb/fixture is purely situational. It doesn’t have any relevance to the amount it puts out?

Makes sense. I would then need a second fixture for a basking bulb, correct?

Getting a lamp for my enclosure (18x18x36) and im not sure which one to get. At the moment limited to what i can find in stores,but i can upgrade later. Is the one in the pic ok, or is it too small? Should i be getting the larger one? Not referring to the bulbs, just the fixture itself...
