Honestly, you CAN keep them from climbing on the screen, but it isn't easy. My little guy was doing this a lot in the first 1-2 weeks I had him and since I had seen him fall 2 times while doing it, I wanted to stop it. So, I started by making a negative association with climbing on the top...

I too am a full time student + work part time as well. I got my MistKing under the same pretense and have been using it on my Jax, but now I am started to consider setting it up for my little Veiled instead. My hand mist schedule on the week days is usually once in the morning when we wake up...

I will agree that most Cham's will drink from a mister eventually, just not mine. :P I fully understand and know that some Cham's wont eat/drink in front of you, but mine will. I know this because of the dripper I use. I've had the system set up for almost 3 weeks now and still I wait for the...

I wouldn't SUGGEST buying an automatic mist system unless you have plenty of spare cash to spend (Mistking or Aquazamp are the only ones worth buying to my knowledge). The reason for this is just because you have the mister providing water steadily throughout the day doesn't mean that your Cham...

Separate cages in which they CAN NOT see each other is a must in my opinion (at least after 4-5 months). When you house more then one Cham together that are of decent size (50-100g or bigger) you risk serve injuries since Chameleons are territorial by nature. I have heard reports of Chams having...

I would definitely try and get some different feeders ASAP. I recommend Dubia Cockroaches if they're available to you, other choices are Horn worms, Phoenix worms, Silk worms, Locust, etc and so forth. Also, I am unsure about Panthers, but with my Veiled I had to remove ALL fake plants from his...

Looks just fine to me. My guy is actually a shade of brown/green the majority of the time and then jumps up to a light green with highlights when I take him out, or if he is feeding usually.

Interesting to see everyone's opinion about Jax's. I have a female Jax that is just over a year that I took over care for. It's actually my GF's Cham and her dad had been caring for her previously. I have actually come to the opposite conclusion then everyone else, but that is also due to the...

Hmmm, I just got a new Veiled 3 weeks ago as of tomorrow and it was from our local Repticon as well. I was told he was 4 months at the time I got him, so he should be right on the cusp of 5 months now. Last weight I have him at was 13g about 3 days ago. He eats like a monster, though. He has...

Hmmm, my female Jax Lilly does something similar but only after being out and stressed for a decent amount of time. If I take her out (which she hates) and handle her for any more then 10-20 minutes usually, she will go to sleep on me. Even upon returning her to her cage, she will continue...

My little guy is getting ready to shed, I am sure of it! I've almost had him for 3 weeks now and he was finishing a shed the day I got him, plus he has been getting all sorts of new colors and spots! He keeps opening his mouth and thrashing + he has started leaning forward and stretching like my...

I think my first episode with her was either when she started her "Leaf-walking" or when I noticed her doing 360 degree circles on vines in her cage. Well, she does it if I put her on my bed as well, but instead of climbing or walking back and forth like in the cage, she will walk around the bed...

I am really glad to know that this is just a shed. She has been the biggest source of my hypochondria, lately. She has what we consider two personalities or moods. There is Lilly, the Bright Green, some-what mild tempered Chameleon, and then there is Yzma, the dark splotched, snappy and hisses...

She was able to develop these spots in a matter of minutes, though? I mean she didn't have them and then 5-10 minutes later she did. She is over a year old and I've been caring for her for just over a month now. I just don't anticipate shed's with how old she is and this caught me way off guard...

I came home tonight and looked in on my Jackson and she had a dark spotted color showing, most likely because the mister had just gone off. Well, about 5 minutes later or so, I was about to tack up the cover for her door that I use to help prevent light getting in when I noticed these strange...

I currently have a 3-4 month old Veiled and his basking temp is kept below 85F if I have anything to say about it.

As of roaches, I have a local breeder I get from who has them in the millions, I swear....If anything I could be persuaded to start sending some out to people in need if worst comes to worst (Or trading for feeders I can't get like silkies or horns). A great solution for having a Cham out of...

I am a pretty inexperienced keeper personally, so my opinions and advice is limited, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. This might just be a time in his life at which his attitude is changing. Chameleons seem to often under go personality changes throughout their life, mainly from the time...

That is a good point about how she seems to be passing all of these at night/during her sleep. Could just be preference or how her body is choosing to deal with this situation in an attempt to reduce stress. Maybe she isn't consciously passing these.

Hmmmm....If it doesn't appear to bother him I wouldn't worry too much. Just keep an eye on it and see if anything changes.
