Also, Can Chams deal with traveling. I read that this can cause stress, but someone said that if you put the cham in a shoe box with a stick going through the box. They will get in the box and since its black inside they will automatically start sleeping. Thoughts. I travel far enough to where i...

Handsome Cham. That is a good point. You would think that the normal chams parents would be healthy, but you never know. probably better to go safe than sorry

Ok, On FL Chams they have these "premium bloodlines" are they worth the extra 40 bucks?

Ok, Thanks so much!

@jannb Thanks for the info.

Ok, thanks will look into it. It seems like a lot of UVB for a little guy, but if it will keep him healthy i will do it.

Mist him more and invest in a dripper or something similar if you don't have one

The UVB light that comes with it is not really coiled. More like two small tubes next to each other. I will look at the tube+covers though. Do they last long?

They can have a temperature drop as they would in the wild. If you are worried about it though, you can buy a Ceramic Heat emitter that produces no light. I have one for my leopard gecko.

No red ight, disrupts they're sleep cycle with is very important. Works best if the cham sleeps with no light, just pitch black

Thanks, I just looked on LLLReptile and they are sold out. What about FL Chams, they're in stock?

No prob

Understandable, wouldn't want my cham to be like that either. Patience is key

if you give them space, time and patience. They should come around eventually. One of the best ways to gain trust is with FOOD

@Kristen99 I agree. The only time you should really handle is for monthly cage cleanings or if your chameleon actually wants out because it trusts you. Don't force them

When buying a baby veiled chameleon is FL Chams a good website/seller? Also for a juvenile is this a good setup? ZooMed chameleon kit, 16 by 16 by 30. I have read the heat bulb is garbage. Lighting: UVB 5.0 and intense basking spot by exo terra 25W. 84 degree basking spot for baby/juveniles. The...

Have you tried doing any hand feeding with tongs. Chameleons react positively to this and they are all about TRUST. Be patient and persistent

Okay, thats understandable since they can easily be stressed. Would you recommend a place like LLLReptile? Thanks Also, I am getting the ZooMed chameleon kit for it, 16 by 16 by 30(when its a juvenile). I have read that the kits heat lamp is garbage and i and getting more plants and vine to go...

Thanks for your reply, I am thinking about a captive bred veiled. I have read they have a temper, but if you tame them when they are young, will they still have that same sort of.. relaxation or allowance or your presence, or do you have to re-tame again? I am new to owning chameleons. Thanks

Hello Everyone, I am on the edge of buying a baby veiled chameleon and have done lots of research. I am wondering if there is any thing i need to know about buying chameleons from reptile expo's? Also, how do i determine the health of the cham while at the expo. Don't want a sick one! Any help...
