Pez started eating her Boston Fern today. I grabbed her some broccoli and carrots and she ate some little pieces. She loved it. Then I realized some websites say "cooked carrots". Will a couple small pieces of raw carrots hurt her?? She's never eaten any fruit or veggie until today. And never...

Yeah? She dug under the deeper area last time, so I'm hoping she does that again. I haven't been too happy with the bromeliads... I wonder if they would do better in the ground or in the pot....

Here is the new cage layout. What do you think? So far Pez is just looking around lol.

Thank you. I can only imagine so.... I never realized a cold blooded animal could have such attitude/personality. We got some wonderful chameleons from the breeder we picked, and funnily enough, we didn't think Pez was going to make it as she was so little and wouldn't eat at first. Is...

Thank you. She was already starting to go from daily to every other day for food, but might still have been getting too much. It took a while to find the eggs, but I was amazed, just kept finding more and more... That was her first egg laying, do you think she'll lay in the same area each...

So I moved Pez onto a tree so I could dig up her eggs. I had meant to do this earlier, but with yoshi and my kids taking this hard, it's taken a back burner. Pez (still living) laid eggs on August 14th and I found 66 today when I dug up her bioactive area. Yoshi (who passed away) had gotten...

Thank you for all this. I really appreciate all the advice given here. This is what happened to her sister (https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/yoshi-passed-pez-lives-on.184118/post-1688148), I am still not sure exactly why she is gone, but we were devastated to lose her. She was...

Thank you. I am not trying to discount anything you guys have said. But any little bits like that totally help me. Right now, I feel like I have been going along with what I have been told, and it is awful for me to realize that what I was told is wrong, especially when I realize that most...

Here are some recent pictures of Pez. The images on 8/01 and 8/08 were when she was digging and prepping with her lay bin, but she wasn't liking it. The images on 8/14 were when she was laying eggs in the substrate and after she finished.

These chameleons were born early-November 2020 and we got them in mid-December 2020. She is about 9 1/2 months old now.

I am not going to add a lay bin. The entire substrate is her lay bin. And yes, definitely going to remove the wall in between. It was just up to separate the two females. And is up still to ensure we don't give anything to the remaining female.

I totally get that, I was just thinking it would be nice to see documentation on this. It seems like so far this is just what people on a forum say. And not saying this isn't credible, but man, it is just so hard for people to take care of an animal when all the information about raising them...

My biggest issue right now is determining how to attach long branches (they each need to be more than 5 feet long).

Since she is in a large cage, we are planning to open it up and allow her access to the full cage. I plan on letting it sit a while and cleaning it before giving her access. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to do this?

78 degrees for basking. That seems awfully low, especially looking everywhere online (that says 85-90). Not trying to be rude, but what makes you think that 78 degrees is good for basking? All commercial documentation and the general consensus online is much higher... And yes, all worms are...

Based on my current readings, looks like the cage top/basking temp is around 90-91 degrees and the bottom of the cage is around 76-80 degrees. I will find out the overnight bottom of the cage temp tonight and will share that tomorrow.

you bet. I have been lurking on these forums since we got the chameleons (Dec 2020). I keep meaning to do this, but let life get in the way...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Veiled chameleon, female, got her at 6 weeks old from breeder, her name is Pez Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? daily - multiple times a week, depending on her...

good to know about the calcium + d3 not being good for everyday. We added the red bulb for heat, but good to know that isn't good. Pez mostly eats every two days, about 3-5 feeders as well. The hood pictured above has the UVB light, reptisun 10.0 UVB.

Yoshi has never laid yet. I was expecting it soon, but she was never as "fat" as Pez.... And no worries, I am trying to keep it clear, but when pictures of the other one were requested, it definitely gets more confusing.
