Hi, so I found this company that makes custom made terrariums for a really good price. Their works look great except for they only use these metal panels with holes for ventilation, not screen. I live in Europe so have cold climate and low humidity, therefore I was planning to get a glass...

Haha, I feel your pain! So chameleons actually can't hear sounds? I was wondering I disturb him when vacuuming the room. By the way, here is my new improvised cricket home made from an old can of dog treats and that round screened thingie that you put tea in. :)

How do you clean the glass/plexiglass cages? The walls in mine get all foggy from mistings, I use zoo med's Wipe Out to clean surfaces, but it doesn't help to make them more clear. I can't use regular window cleaner for it, can I?

Thanks to everyone who explained this in detail. I love this forum :) I guess fully screened top plus just one line of screen on the side is the best option in my situation. Regarding the temperatures, should I still keep the basking light on in summer when it's over 30 C (86 F) outside? My guy...

I'm trying to find where to order online, but can't even properly translate the names of the worms in the language of the country I live in, at least google doesn't show any results for it. Do you maybe know some websites that deliver around Europe?

Got it. Thanks! Unfortunately they only seem to have mealworms in the shops here. How long the worms you use normally live? There will be a reptile expo in my city this weekend so maybe there will be more types of feeders there. Would it make sense to buy a big bulk to last for a month or would...

Hi, so I just got worms in the shop today, they only had one kind, then I googled a bit and it turned out to be mealworms. I gave my guy just one as a treat, but now I've been reading and apparently a lot of people advice against them. Is it ok to give him one every other day or should I just...

I am curious if it's really so hard as I plan to get a glass one for my veiled... Here in Europe everyone I know uses glass with screen top, since the air is also really dry here. How would you recommend to keep high humidity in a screen cage? I barely manage in my current glass/screen top setup

So I just found out that my chameleon is a male, which means he will get bigger soon, and I need to get him a new enclosure asap. The shops in my area offer maximum height of 90 cm (35 inches) which I think is too small, so I'm planning to order a custom built one. Which dimensions would be...

Thank you! They told me it's a girl in the pet shop where I bought him, and I never bothered to double check :) good thing there is this forum! I'll get him a bigger place soon. Not sure whether to go with glass or screen since I live in a really low humidity area. Even in his current enclosure...

His stool became slimy 2 weeks ago so I took a sample to the vet to get tested and he said there was a parasite, I forgot which one though:( I will go to the vet tomorrow again for the treatment and find out everything. I remember that it was some small one-cell parasite which is only...

I've added some more info to the previous reply

He started shedding about a week ago and almost completely shed everything except for a little part on his belly. That's the first shedding I witnessed so far. Also he had a parasite and is still being treated for it, so maybe he's not fully healed yet and it's causing him discomfort. I had him...

Haha yes... I was just researching after someone suggested it in another thread and it really looks like my chameleon is actually a dude. That's good news because no more worries about egg laying and he will probably live longer, but I'm upset that he got so aggressive now, we were just starting...

Ok so I've been watching closely and there are most definitely some little lumps at the end of her back (his) feet. Why was my chameleon acting so weird then? Running down to the bottom, trying to escape, and so on? Could it be that he's getting territorial? I was away for vacation for a week...

Here's the closest I could get to her feet so far. She seems really nervous around me now though she used to be very calm, and I saw her going to the bottom of the cage looking for something, her belly and colors I thought also indicate that she's gravid. But I would be happy to find out if I'm...

I have read your blog and wanted to try this method, was just wondering if more people tried it and if there are any potential risks. So I am quite certain now that my female is gravid. I did not expect it as she's only 4 months now, maximum 5, and I thought she would start laying after 6-7...

Hi all, so my female veiled has these weird colors today, she used to be more green and recently started having more orange stripes, and just now started pacing nervously around the cage, before she was calm all day. When I opened the door to take a clear picture she ran down and tried to get...

I get them out with a pair of long tweezers. Was hard at first but now I learned to do it faster. It's probably still not the best method of all and I sometimes accidentally tear some legs off which makes me feel awful :(
