Very nice! I'm new to this myself, and my chameleon is a 6 month old female veiled also. At least that is what we were told, she looks to be about the same size as Ramona. We have only had ours for less than a week, so she's still getting used to her new surroundings. Thanks for sharing...
haha love the pics. Especially the "go away" one. Seems like a lot of the time that is what they are thinking hehe. I just got my first chameleon, also a female veiled which I was told is about 6 months old--so it's very cool to see yours at 1, quite a bit larger and more colorful than mine...
I'm a brand new veiled chameleon owner myself, but I've done quite a bit of reading and research. This forum is a great place to learn! From what I have read, most people recommend a 5.0 UVB bulb. The basking bulb can be a regular household lightbulb, but you have to make sure the basking...
Haha, I know exactly what you mean. I've only had my cham for a few days, but even just getting her out to set up her enclosure with some real plants instead of the fake ivy she came with was an ordeal. And when I went to put her back, same thing, the leap of faith haha. Good thing she had...
Thanks everyone! I'm excited to have her and see her grow. She seems to be acclimating well to her new environment. I still haven't seen her eat, although I know she is - she just seems to get a bit when I'm around. Can't wait to see her tag a bug with that sticky tongue!
Also thank you for...
It's crazy how many non-native animals are living in Florida now. Lots of people letting their pets go and then they take off in the wild. Glad to hear the little guy is adapting well.
I've always loved lizards, ever since I was a kid. I find them very fascinating, both in their behaviour, and in their wild and crazy appearances.
Knowing this, my wife decided she would surprise me with a chameleon for Christmas this year. Now so far, I have actually only ever kept 1 other...
My enclosure is 18x18x36, and a 50 watt bulb sitting right on top is barely getting me 80 degrees in the basking area, and about 70 degrees at the floor. I have a female veiled who is about 6 months old, and should have a basking area closer to 85 degrees. I spent about $10 on a basking bulb...
Sorry to hear :( I'm guessing he found a piece of zip tie you had clipped off? I will check my setup thoroughly for these tonight, as I just finished getting it setup on Saturday using zip ties. I'm sure I got them all, but I will double check tonight because of Louie's story. Like the others...
