I would love to get some of the oustalets! haha I think the larger chams are amazing! not to diss the smaller species which are amazing in their own, but i love the big reptiles. they are just something no one else has!
Looks like you may have startled him and he had to tell you off. It sounds like the drop scared him and then you showing up made the association of that terrible moment with you touching him. Looks like an unfortunate string of events haha.
Looks much much better. i would say run down to the garden store and purchase some Pothos plants, i just hang the hangers from the ceiling of the cage and my chams usually just climb into the leaves to hang out, stay cool, hide or sleep lol.
Pothos, Ficus ( find a small one and put it in...
How old exactly?
I would say stick to the rule of no longer then the space between the eyes, as everyone else has stated. If you jackson won't eat, i would try perhaps feeding a different feeder.
My "Ace in the hole" Or rather "Aces" as far as getting stubborn chams to eat are:
Flies, ( Blue...
Awesome, i'd love to see it! I hope everything goes well! I would have gone for caramel coated crickets, chocolate covered roaches, or the all time favorite honey covered hornworms! haha. Actually i know a few people who love the cooked insects, it sounds interesting, however i'm not always that...
I'm not a big fan, however i am ALWAYS looking to learn something new, If its not a bother if you could send me some of the study notes or the flash cards that'd be cool.
Very impressed with your enclosure. I love how it looks. I would be interested to see a larger enclosure after the same idea ( haha i'm a nut for large enclosures).
This is for my 9 month old female Veil https://www.chameleonforums.com/members/goldenarcher1328-albums-cage-construction.html...
haha thank you, i know that they will produce clutches with or without being fertilized by a male, yes this clutch will be infertile, but i was wondering if she is developing the eggs.
She is living in a mini Green House. So full soil on the bottom, Yes i know i'm gonna get flack for it. Shes trained onto a feeding cup thats 4.5 feet off the floor of the cage, no soil included lol.
the reason i posted those pictures is because i saw her mustard yellow spots and it made me...
Wonderful little guy you have there.
Welcome to the forums!!!
Yes if it has the spurs, it is a male.
I would say, as everyone else has, raise the enclosure up, chameleons are not a ground faring species, they are more arboreal creatures. Also, Foliage is important, live or false plants...

Beautiful little fellah you have there! Love the colors, Reminds me of my Veiled Male when he's outdoors or hiding.
Welcome to the forums! You've come to the correct place for learning all sorts of tips and tricks when it comes to chameleons!
Welcome!!
haha, Cute photos!! I'm sure everything is okay, my male will sleep in the weirdest positions that i'm sure cannot be comfortable in the very least. He's fallen asleep on a leaf before, which was bent over and nearly broke from his weight, the leaf never recovered. he's fallen asleep upside...
