I have no idea why this is ever raised as a concern. Veiled chameleons are a desert chameleon, and as a result, do much better in low humidity. Humidity levels of around 30% is about right for these guys. I live in Utah and never try to raise humidity levels. Pumping the cage full of water...

It is not bad for him to be out. Outside is usually the best place for them provided they have enough water. It sounds like your set up needs attention. Please post some pics or ensure that your set-up is correct.

That looks like a girl to me.

My psychic imaging has been off recently, so if you could provide a clearer picture that would help. Specifically of its hind quarters with its tail out straight.:)

No, they do not cause impaction. My jacksons eat snails all the time, and it doesn't get much harder than that. Chameleons eat hard bodied insects in the wild all the time, in fact, the eating of snails is why Hawaii wants all the jacksons removed. You also said that meal worms were soft, and...

First off, have you taken her to a vet and had a fecal test done? Most jacksons are wild caught and as such, usually have parasites. As for the husbandy, Drago makes some good points, but some of his info is more panther than Jackson. Supplements being the main concern. I have picked out...

They help raise humidity and the water droplets tend to stick better.

It's from the base of the tail, but can't really tell from that picture. If you had one of it walking with its tail straight back (not curled) it would be easy to tell.

Dooley1 is the guy to talk to. I have a couple pairs, but no babies at the moment. I am not sure about the Canadian breeders though. Dooley1 might know some.

Yeah, he is scared of you. In addition to the continuation of hand feeding him, there are a couple things that could cause this. 1) How is the foliage in the cage? Can he hide behind leaves to get out of site or is hiding behind sticks his only hiding spot? 2) Do you grab him to pull him...

Thank you for the responses. I will continue as usual.

I've got little guys hatching out right now and was wondering, how long do you guys leave them inside the egg container after they have fully come out of the egg? Is 1 day long enough or should I be waiting longer? Some of them seem to have difficulty opening their eyes if I take them out...

I use a drip system using a small pump (usually tom's aqualifter) and a household timer. There is a blog post written on how to do it. I have found that using mistings to try and provide the drinking water for my chameleons doesn't work for me.

With food. Hand feeding is your best trick.

Yes, its that whole keeping track of it that is the problem. I do have some friends that live higher up on Maui. I can't take the chams from Oahu to Maui, but I could see if there are similar variations in the maui population.

I would take him to a vet. If he was alert and just not eating what you were providing, then I would say switching the food up would be a great way to get him to eat again. My Jacksons go crazy for roaches. However, with him sleeping all day, there is something else wrong. You need to take...

Yep. Very cute little girl

Just make sure that you wash the plant off well. Sometimes they spray fertilizer and pesticides on the plants, and that can harm the chameleon.

Could be any number of things from him just being tired to illness. I would just keep an eye on him. Could you post pictures of him?

I would take her to the vet to get checked out if you haven't done it. Vet visits to check for parasites are a great way to start if you don't (or even if you do) know the breeder. Try to take in a fresh stool sample if you can.
