I'd vote ambanja! Amazing one at that. Wish i could get lucky and snag a deal such as yours! He's lookin good!
and I think you meant he weighs in at 150gs? 250g would be a monster! LOL
From reading your husbandry, sounds like you're guy might be cookin' :o
his basking temp should be no higher than 35c (95f)
He may be cruising at the bottom because he's hot. And are you positive your veiled is a MALE? allot of the times breeders from petstores just sell you a female...
I second this.
Pics would help of your enclosure. I didn't even mention that! Just be sure theres tons of foliage for your little guy to climb around and hide under.
Also pics of your veiled would help aswell. We can identify if your guy looks lethargic, dehydrated, etc.
Welcome to the forums,
Really glad you did your research thus far and filled out the information sheet! Really HELPS out A LOT. Kind of strange that a new member figured it out.
From what I can see, you seem like you have a pretty solid set up. Nothing in your husbandry is wrong. You're...
I'm jealous. I've yet to see a stick bug!
I guess they don't like californians :rolleyes:
I only get lucky with Mantids. Maybe this weekend I'll try and hunt some sticks down haha
Nope...It'll stress the chameleon out. Some wont eat or they'll get bullied/hurt.
Only chams you can house together are pygmies.
As for having two different species together, Absolutely no.
Geckos are usually nocturnal so as the lights go off they're out and about and could wake up the...
lol yeah he was a little feisty, slowly starting to get "nicer", but still hates the camera! :p
Great thread btw, I hope to see some more of these funny little creatures! haha so far everyone has shown funny ones :D
If I come accross anymore I'll def upload em here.
This was taken about 3 months ago, but to this day I still think it's funny.
On the left is my cham So Icey Boy sleeping, on the right is him getting his photo taken when he woke up in the morning as his lights cut on lol
This is him the other day: (less dramatic, but he does try to...
Thanks for filling out the info sheet.
How are you measuring your temps? Those spikes on your chams back look like burns to me. Or it could be a fungus. Lots of possibilities! Best way to get it checked out is by a experienced Herp vet in your area.
It's rare that crickets chew on chams...
YOU NEED MORE FOLIAGE!
joking...lol great job! I think thats the most filled up enclosure i've ever seen! Almost makes me want to do the same with my cage haha.
Also get rid of the night light. Chams benefit from temperature drops. They will do fine in mid 50's if you're concerned about...
I use this one, kinda a pain to find 22" T5 bulbs though. Arcadia makes a 6.0 22" and you can find 22" 6500k lights aswell.

HOLY $@#*
Love that yellow and those huge red spots on him...Lately i've been seeing some amazing WC panthers.
Where do I sign up at? LOL
My cham does fine. eats, drinks, sheds, poops, etc.
Fan is OK.
If you assumed i put the fan on the highest speed and aim it at the enclosure, then YES lol, they would avoid air flow.
I use my fan on the lowest setting and aim it so it circulates the room. I don't aim it at the...
Just make sure you get good air ventilation so the cage isn't filled with stagnent air.
Chams have wind in the wild so I don't see what the problem would be.
I leave a fan on throughout the days during the summer. Helps keep the bottom portion of the enclosure cool and circulates my room...
hah, never thought of that vine method. I just use a fake plant and my boy HATES it...Colors are always amazing though when they're in there.
As for chams having sunken in eyes while they're sleeping, yes they normally do that. Sometimes, which is kinda scary they bulge their eyes out so they...
You can always get a double T5-HO fixture so you can house a UVB bulb & 5000k or 6500k grow light.
Just adding the grow light for live plants is a PLUS. Keeps those bad boys alive indoors and brightens up the enclosure.
I use a 6.0 Arcadia bulb + 6500k grow light + Basking bulb and my...
You might get bashed for this, allot of members on here don't like the idea of feeding lizards to our chams.
Me personally, It's nature. They eat lizards and what not in the wild anyways.
For one...Stay off the wild caught lizards. They can contain tons of parasites which they can be hosting...
