The word "desert" was never used by me. I said arid, meaning drier . I agree that there are varied climates in the Arabian Peninsula, however none of them seem to have the 86-145 inches of annual rainfall to qualify as a "rainforest". You called the poster an idiot for not having a fogger, I...

Not disagreeing with most of your post but Veiled Chameleons are native to the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. They are found in many different areas including arid climates. It's what makes them a hardier species.

Beautiful girl- can't wait to see baby pics!

Good looking boy! Good to see you back into chams.

@jajeanpierre - No, I did not mean agression to be the same as malice. I do not believe that chameleons have emotions as humans do. I still believe that not all chameleons have as much tolerance for human interaction as others do. I feel you have to treat each animal differently according to...

@maduni3394 - I think some chameleons are just naturally more aggressive than others. I have never been bitten by a chameleon, however out of my 3, two can be handled no problem. My female would just as soon take my hand off than look at me. I have raised all 3 the exact same way, using the...

Awww, little Teddy is growing up! Happy Hatchday!

Tore all the ligaments in my knee getting out of a car...

This may sound gross, but since he is taking water from a dropper he should take "bug juice" as well. Place feeders, crickets, silkworms, etc, in a blender with a little water. Blend until it is liquid, then put the mixture in the dropper and give it to him like you are giving him water. Make...

Your avatar is a veiled cham so I'll answer from that... Veiled chameleons can be feisty and territorial, you may find that you have better luck if you have a free range setup for handling. As to humidity, veiled or Yemen chameleons aren't from a jungle environment. Average humidity in Yemen...

Yes, they do get more pale yellow as adults. I'm no expert on the morph, but the Mack snows I have seen from breeders who specialize have a distinctive black pattern on their backs. Either way, he's a cutie!

The ones I have seen have more of a predominant black "broken stripe" pattern, but it could be a mack snow cross.

There is good and bad in any group on Facebook. I am on a tortoise group that had a post one day on giving a carrot juice soak to an extremely ill and dehydrated tortoise to try and jump-start his electrolytes. The next day there were 20 different pictures of healthy torts with ground up...

What??? Are you trying to tell me to stop soaking my chams in a tub of water after a long day of "snuggles"? :D

I use hand sanitizer because I don't have a sink in the room and I also have my Russian Tortoise in there. That way I can make sure I'm not passing anything between them when I am feeding and cage cleaning. I haven't had any issues. A sink in the room would be cool though...

Good looking boy!

I'd take her outside for some good old UVB. I have never had a cham not poop in real sunshine.

I've never put new animals in a separate room. My main thing is like the others have said and use different equipment on the new arrival. The newbie doesn't use the free range either. I keep hand sanitizer in the cham room and clean my hands after touching anything with each reptile...

It also looks like he could have an infection there- that is a lot of swelling. I'd definitely give him a shower and also think about a vet visit. Clearing out debris from an eye turret is tricky.

Hopefully he still took him to the vet- I did see other issues and a fecal is definitely in order. I enlarged the pic of the white spots too- I said sperm plugs due to the thread-like part between the larger spots.
