    Is my beloved 5 month veiled a male?

    Well that should be conclusive enough for anyone, but I'll add from me that yes, he is definitely a male. He looks a little small for 5 months old though. Anyway, in case you missed it here is the basic caresheet from this site https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

    Taming question

    This hypothesis is difficult to test, but it may hold some water. I know that people who have free ranges tend to report 'tamer' chameleons. There could be other factors, such as the fact that its mainly more experienced keepers who will free-range. Personally I would think that the safer he...

    Help Me Help Charlize

    Ok, bit of a weird reason to not want to help people. I thought it was pretty clear that the op had the chameleon for only 3 weeks, and had not seen the vet about the bruising. I guess I could have worded myself better too, I didn't want to upset you. Maybe it's partly because I checked out the...

    Female chameleon very weak and tired.

    Looks like maybe gular edema. Has she layed recently? Anyway, would be better to fill out the form so people have a better idea of what to suggest. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

    Hi all...Newbie here :-)

    Hello, she looks good :). I see a laying bin in there, but I can't see a uvb tube. I assume you have one, as you've done enough research to get the bin. Anyway, just in case you missed it here is the sites basic caresheet - https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/ The only other...

    Veiled Chameleon with odd black spots

    The black spots thing sounds like a stress pattern - If you got him very recently then he needs time to settle in before much handling or even attention. Here is a basic caresheet to check you have his setup right - https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/ Here are good tips for 'taming'...

    Help Me Help Charlize

    You could read the post properly before replying to it jajeanpierre. I would try leaving her be as much as possible (even lay off the force feeding for a few days at least). Now she is in a better environment for her but is being stressed by the feeding. I assume there was no force feeding at...

    jackson or veiled...

    Well in that case I say go for whichever species you like the look of more (I know it's a hard choice!). Veileds need a bit more room, Jacksons need the humidity. It's a not a huge trade off :)

    jackson or veiled...

    I never kept a Jackson but will do at some point. It is possible for a beginner to keep either if you follow the information from this forum, but a Veiled is certainly more forgiving of slight mistakes (especially if you get a young one). I am slightly concerned that your name is...

    Is she gravid?

    She is just about old enough, and is not skinny. Nothing really says gravid though (no obvious egg bumps, no gravid pattern). Of course, be on the safe side - always have a bin available. Maybe you have her temps too low, maybe there isn't enough foliage for her, maybe she just hasn't settled...

    How much food do i feed

    I know you've read the caresheet - https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ So you know that you are getting to the point where they should be eating less. Cut down slowly so they don't get too hungry, but it is about time to cut down. The caresheet info is general, but females...

    Veiled not acting normal

    Unless those were tiny roaches he is eating plenty. Babies need lots of food. Adults eat far, far less. Females are usually greedy, males are usually not. Your guy is a big badass and there seems to be nothing wrong with him.

    New veiled cham not eating or drinking.

    This thread is mostly 6 years old. You should look at this basic caresheet for information - https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ To answer your question - the white part of his poop is called the urate. If it is white then he is getting enough water. If it goes yellowy...

    Veiled in bad shape!

    I want to say don't give up on him entirely if he is still trying to get food, so I wouldn't personally euthanise him yet. I do have very little hope for his chances though.

    New Chameleon!!!

    Flukers is a very poor gutload. It gives hydration and calcium but that is all. For chameleons a variety of vitamins and minerals is what's best. You can try to feed Alduin fruits and veg but my male veileds have never eaten them (I make a guess from reading about others that about half of them...

    Veiled in bad shape!

    I am sorry to say I have to agree with Remkon. You have messed up with his calcium supplements at the very least. He should have no light at night. Here is a basic caresheet which should let you know where you went wrong - https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ That video you...

    Rate my tank!

    If you just want a rating so far I give it 3 out of 10. Like others have said there are a few things that could be much better. Most importantly the plants and lights, but also more height will make her much happier. Here is an example that gets up to 8 or 9 out of 10 -...
