Also, I'm not sure if this is a problem or what, but she's been falling out of her tree a lot and I thought something might be wrong with her grip, but when I get her out and she climbs on me, she grips so hard it hurts sometimes, so I don't know why she's been falling from her tree so much or...

Same here! The 24x24x48 takes up a lot of room, but I really don't mind. It actually looks pretty sweet and she's so happy with all her new space! Her present cost more than most of mine! :rolleyes:
Aww, 2 or 3 years in such a small cage? :( Poor thing. Yea they are a lot of hard work, but they pay off with how awesome of a creature they are!
Spike is definitely better than Greeny :p Cause I know when I was really little I always named our cats by color. Like our black cat was midnight...
That's an awesome Christmas present! I'm really glad that you're giving the little guy a better life than he was living before. How old is Spike, do you know? (should have kept the original name, it's so much cooler ;D, no bias or anything, lol)
So, my not-so-little-anymore girl got a nice surprise for the holidays! I had been meaning to upgrade her cage because of obvious reasons, I just hadn't gotten around to it. However, I am pleased to say that this Christmas, she is livin' the life! I'll post pictures probably tomorrow when...
I feed her about 3 crickets a day and the occasional superworm. Within the past month I've gone to feeding her every other day because I've read you're supposed to do that after they're a year old.
Okay I have a good laying bin set up for her, but she hasn't laid anything yet. She's not even interested in the dirt at all when I showed it to her. What do I do?? I set it up yesterday morning.
Okay that video really helped! But what if her cage isn't big enough to put a big flower pot or bin in? I have a large fake tree that I let her free range in sometimes, could I just set the pot by that?
I'm upgrading cages for my cham now that she's gotten bigger and the new cage will be fully screened, unlike the one I have now. I was just wondering if it will make my room smell funny since it will be screened now and what ever smell in there can 'seep' out?? I want her to have a nicer cage...
He might be going on a food strike depending on what you feed him. I've seen some chams go on strike because they got fed superworms too much and would simply not eat when offered anything else, I've also heard of chams going on strikes when they are fed only crickets for a long amount of time...

My friend just purchased a veiled chameleon from some guy online. I guess the guy kept it in a cage that was way too small for it and my friend is worried that it has stunted her growth. The guy said shes about a year old, but it hasn't shed or gotten any larger in 5 months. So, my friend...
