I've had my veiled for over a year. He is now just letting me hand feed him superworms. Its not for my lack of trying. I think a lot depends on the overall temperament of the individual chameleon.

Depending on how long and the frequency of misting will affect how much water the plants get. A heavily planted enclosure, like mine, requires additional weekly watering for my 36 inch ficus and my huge pothos. When in doubt check the soil. If just the top of the soil is wet after misting, give...

Many people uses glass enclosures and are successful keepers. I feel an all screen enclosure is better suited to veiled chameleons. Also think about getting rid of the substrate, it's not needed. When considering a chameleon as a pet research is your friend. When I was setting up my enclosure I...

A full screen enclosure is preferable to glass. A infrared ceramic heater is not needed in most cases if the room the cham is in doesnt drop much below ~60f. A veiled cham can handle temps into the 50s in the wild. As long as you have your basking light coming on in the morning you'll be fine...

Others have had great success with banana roaches as well.

Do you feel your vet is not well trained in working with chameleons? If not its a valid question to those who have gone through the same jaw infection with their chameleons. Good luck, I hope your cham is already on the mend.

That will be an amazing enclosure. Go with the mistking. It's a fantastic product.

The monsoon mister is junk. If you can, return it asap. Get a mistking and be done with it. A large consensus with people who have had them is that they will fail. Also lightyourreptiles has some of the best lighting options for the health of your cham and live plants. Larry can answer all your...

Chameleons are not a cheap animal to own. Why don't you save some money then buy the correct enclosure and supplies.

I've had only great experiences with them. Got my male veiled and a ficusfrom them too. Both are doing very well. Just a suggestion, but set your enclosure up before getting you chameleon. No need for added stress when he/she arrives. My veiled was shipped from CA to RI so to say he was eager to...

People should not "rescue" anything from these places. They will just restock their "shelves". I felt bad every time I went in to get my fish tank filters and saw how they keep the chameleons. I started ordering my filters directly from the company so I don't support Petco.

Agree 100%. Bamboo is not a good type of branch to use in cham enclosure. Way to slippery when dry. Wet, even worse.

Beautiful chameleons! Congrats and good luck with them!

I had the same issue in finding an appropriate sized base for my 2x2x4 cage. I went to a couple of salvation armies or thrift furniture stores. Got a cube table that was perfect size for $7. Works perfect.

Well played. Your doing research and not impulse buying a chameleon like so many do. Then they come the forum with bigger issues that could have been avoided. Good luck and enjoy the new cham!

Sure but not only bug burger. Proven fruits and veggies also are needed to provide optimal health

Not to be rude but do some research before acquiring an advanced reptile like a chameleon. Chameleon cantinas are NOT good enclosures for a chameleon. I know your looking for help to save your chameleon but please read the following: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/chameleons/

Great video, thanks

Check out the similar threads at the bottom of this page. Lots of reviews. -My opinion of the cantinait is terrible. Breeding ground for bacteria, loud, nothing special. I know some have been very happy with it and have seen their chams using it regularly. A feel a dripper and misting system...
