DId someone ask? What kind of light You use? Sorry. And no night lights :)

Been a few days. How is he? :)

I would either go with the UVB metal halide bulb from ExoTerra or go with an Arcadia 12% from reptile basics :) Exoterra linear are kind of lame. Do not get those. If you do not want to order and just want to go local, a Zoomed 10.0 will be better than the spiral but I go with more power :)

Yup especially with the roaches. Their keeping affects their flavor and smell to them. And as long as they have water, they could comfortably go for a long time without food.

Depends on locale but they can start getting colors at around 2 months. Then they can change and chance and change. Ambilobes can have one color in youth, another for a year after that and then BOOM! All the bars go away and there is new color.

In the colder months, this can happen but it can also be more indicative of other issues if there are any. May I know your lighting and supplementation schedule?

That is nice to hear! That is a healthy environment for him. :) They need the mental stimulation same as us! haha

Aw thank you. I am honored to be referenced in a positive manner. :) That is the spirit. ALWAYS learning. I am always learning too. Every day I think I learn something new from my chameleons. They have so much to teach.

haha he is giving the "get that thing away from me stance" 1, he looks to be getting to the age where they slow down anyway and 2, guarantee you skip a day or so, he will readily eat anything. BUT their flavor of the insect largely depends on the conditions they are kept. If there is a strong...

I love the veileds. They are my thing haha. The more you feed and give natural sunlight, the faster their growth rate! They are wonderful animals. :) Good job on keeping such a small one alive and thriving :)

They live to explore their territory. Healthy to let him get out and do this just not when it is cleaning time. That way he will not always feel the need to "escape" :)

Sorry to hear of this ongoing problem. Let us try to solve it :) Can you provide pictures of the chameleon and his eyes? Also, what is your supplementation schedule ?

You got it @CamrynTheCham22 Thank you for being a responsible owner who continues to learn and grow with their chameleon :) This is nice to see.

I have gotten mostly female panthers but veileds are more often seen by others or at least what I have seen as they are so easily bred and flood the market

@kinyonga and @CamrynTheCham22 chameleons do not have the capacity to process sugars as we do. It is an unnatural food source for them and causes undue difficulty on their organs to digest. There is absolute no benefit to feeding fruit to chameleons.

Wow he is small. Feed him as much as he wants. Babies need a lot

...Yeah..how to ask for help best as chameleons can manifest and present MANY symptoms in their eyes that could mean a whole host of other things. Eye drops or not may not even touch the problem

All sold! Thank you very much everyone for taking a little baby! :)

I have had to turn away a few more rescues in this area since I got them. It seems the word got out I took in little sick chameleons and BOOM! Kind of sad how many are gotten without knowing what they need and then get sick. When I get permanently settled, I plan to have extra cages at all times...

Well, completely stop feeding the apple and probably keep the vegetables down to once a week. Females are ALWAYS hungry. Basic instinct drives them to eat as much as possible as much as they can as in the wild, resources are at a minimum and they need to eat what they can whenever to be able to...
