    Named her Lizzo. Really hoping she’s not a Luigi.

    you 100% have a female. if you had a Luigi, you would notice bumps called tarsal spurs on the back of her rear legs.

    Is it normal for a male veiled to be dark in color when brought home for the first time?

    I just got this guy in the mail today, he is a young adult veiled. When I opened the package, he had vibrant colors, but when I placed him in the cage, he went dark in color. It has only been a few hours, and I am wondering if this is normal and if he will lighten up eventually. He seems...

    can I turn off the heat light in the summer when it is hot inside?

    So I have a male veiled chameleon who is just about an adult. I have noticed that he seems like he is overheating (mouth open) so I turned off his heat lamp for a while. It is almost 80 degrees inside and I worry that he is getting too hot. Can I leave his heat lamp off during the day?

    Can I help with shrunken eyes on my veiled?

    So I just got a male sub-adult veiled chameleon in the mail today. His eyes are noticeably shrunken in, so I have been using a pipette to try to get some water in him. He is drinking it alright, I just want to know if this is something he can come back from, or if he is just going to decline. I...

    Veiled Chameleon Male or Female?

    Is my veiled a healthy color?

    I know it super late, but I noticed what you said about your cham basking. The issue was his enclosure was too cold, only 65-75 degrees at the highest. I added another heat lamp so now its 85-95 degrees for basking and 75-80 degrees for ambient temperature. He seems much happier now.

    I have a male veiled chameleon who is not quite a year old yet. I am concerned about his color. During the day and when I bought him a few weeks ago, he is brown in color, while at night when he is asleep, he is a blue and green color. Is this normal? Will he grow into his color? His habitat...

    Is my male veiled chameleon a healthy color?

    So this is my best friend Boaz. He isn't quite fully grown yet, but I am a little concerned with his color. He, for the most part, is brown with some blue and yellow in him as seen in the picture. I have seen photos of other males with really vibrant colors and patterns, so I'm wondering if this...

    With veiled chameleons, can there be spurless males?

    I took my buddy Boaz to a reptile vet for a wellness check, and she was very confident he is a spurless male. Everything about him (or her) seems to be male, but it doesn't have spurs. He is about 5 months old.

    Why do veiled chameleons need humidity?

    Arent these guys from Yemen and Saudi Arabia? I have no idea why everyone is telling me they need near tropic humidity? I figured they would do best in desert climates. Thoughts?

    male or female?

    When I got this guy, the lady who sold him to me said he was male. It seems like he has the bulge under his tail, but no tarsal spurs that I can see. He is only a few months old, and I'm not sure at what age they develop these spurs.

    How to keep veiled chameleon habitat humid

    So I have a male veiled chamelon who is about 4-5 months old. He seems pretty healthy, but I worry that his habitat isn't humid enough. I have a spray system that goes off every 2 hours for 20 seconds, and I also added live plants. I tried using a fogger, but he is terrified of the thing, so I...

    Thank you so much for this chart! I discovered that he really likes spotted roaches, which I am now breeding myself.
