    Can’t raise humidity and not sure what to do

    I’ve been running a humidifier in the room with the enclosures, combined with my MistKing to maintain the levels I want. I have a few hygrometers in the room to monitor ambient humidity, as well as the hygrometers in the enclosures themselves.

    I have a Veiled around the same age as my Ambilobe. He’s getting big as well. Not quite the size of yours @Jonathan Torres

    Lazy Sunday photo

    Thanks guys! His reds are coming in really nicely along with some hidden yellows. I’m really exited to see his progression over the next few months.

    Lazy Sunday photo

    Hanging out in the kitchen with some breakfast and coffee. Morty the Ambilobe came out to hang out with us on his manzanita tree. He’s about 9 months now.

    MistKing Bulkhead question

    Even better! I was at the show yesterday too. Probably saw me there. Enjoy your new setup! Love my MistKing.

    MistKing Bulkhead question

    Mine definitely has an o-ring. I’d just go to Home Depot and pick up a replacement. It’s just a plain black o-ring.

    Looking for Breeders in orange county

    Kammerflage Kreations is a site sponsor and has some of the best Panther bloodlines around. They are located in Corona, but they run a strictly online business and ship fast. They'll be in Pomona at the upcoming reptile show if you'd prefer to pick your cham out in person. A few other reputable...

    My baby vieled chameleon wont eat or drink...

    @kinyonga mentioned most everything important. First order of business should be varying up his diet with gutloaded feeders and implementing the supplementation schedule. Next is getting him in a proper vertical enclosure with a heat bulb of the proper wattage and a UVB bulb. Live, non-toxic...

    What type, age and sex

    From what I can see in the photos, your chameleon is a female Veiled. I don't see any tarsal spurs in the photo. If I were to try to determine age, I'd say probably 4-6 months. Maybe someone else can tell age better than me.

    Zilla Day White Light Bulb

    It does not. That's strictly for heat.

    I want to pamper Leon for Christmas

    A MistKing if you don’t already have one! Or a lighting setup from LightYourReptiles! Plus both of the aforementioned companies are site sponsors, so it’s a winning combo anyways.

    Shangum moss substrate maybe? Read me

    I use corrugated plastic in my enclosures. You can find it at most Lowes or Home Depots. If not, sign and banner stores carry it and can cut it to size.

    Ideas wanted for elevating plants, please!

    I use upside down pots that are tall enough to elevate the plants as high as I need them. There are drilled holes around the bases of them to handle drainage. I agree with the above posts suggesting Dragon Ledges. Cheap enough, easy to work with, and make your enclosure so much easier to clean...

    New lights thanks to LYR

    My new lighting came in a few days ago from Todd at LightYourReptiles. They are a HUGE improvement over my last lighting rig. You can see my two chams loving their new setup and taking in the light. I prefer to spend my money with sponsors, and I was not let down. I definitely recommend him if...

    Night light

    No light whatsoever at night. A ceramic heat bulb can be used if the room he’s kept in dips below 50F.

    Do stripes indicate male or female?

    Beat me to it. Veiled can be sexed from birth. A close up photo would get you an answer.

    Pothos Questions

    No need to worry. Veiled are known to eat plants. My male Veiled occasionally eats portions of the pothos in his enclosure. No negative effects to date.

    Do stripes indicate male or female?

    Hard to tell by the photo, but you can sex your Veiled by seeing if your animal has a noticeable tarsal spur (bump on the back of the hind feet). Males will have tarsal spurs and more prominent casques. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/
