I got a male veiled from someone else, my estimate is that he's about two years old. I moved hin to a new enclosure in October and got all the lighting and basking area properly set up. I believe his growth was stunted because he's very small (about 5 inches from nose to vent) and I've been...

I just moved him to his new enclosure last night, from the small glass tank he was given to me in. I've noticed new behavior such as going to his new basking spot and basking on one side, then coming down and yawning. He's been very active. Here's some info for his current enclosure...

Also he is actually in one of the pictures I posted. He's still small and skinny especially for his age. I guess he wasn't cared for properly by the previous owner but I'm doing all that I can.

Yep I'll be getting more branches and stuff in the future I was just in a rush to get him out of the tank. I also figured that he wouldn't need the night bulb. Where would I be able to find a plant like hibiscus or pothos? Home depot?

My veiled cham was given to me in a small glass tank. I just switched him to a screen cage that's 3 Feet tall and have in on a table. I used floral wire to tie on pothos and jungle vines. I have no live plants but might add a pothos soon if I find one. I have green terrarium liner on the bottom...

I read on here once that having your UVB light on top of the screen mesh actually filters out the UVB, and that the bulb should really be inside of the cage. Is that true? Also, what can I do to keep my heat bulb elevated so that the dome lamp is not directly sitting on the screen top? I'm just...

Or something like that. I'm just worried that the central air system in my room will effect my cham and I'd like a more stable environment in the cage. So far all I see online are all glass or all screen options. Is there a website that sells screen cages with one or two sides glass?

ONE MORE QUESTION! For the linear UVB bulb, should it be reptiglo 5.0? or 10.0? Does it depend on cage size?

Also are there any specific brands of bulbs you'd recommend, like for UVB? And should I have a night bulb? And is something like this ok for the linear UVB bulb? http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/linear_fluorescent_bulbs.php (sorry for so many questions):p

Awesome, thank you both so much. Where can I find a linear UVB bulb and the hood?

Sorry for these questions - also wondering when I get the bulbs, what lamp do I use? Currently the exo terra's light is built in, so I can't use that. Can both the UVB and heat bulb be in the same type of lamp? And how do I get a lamp that points downward in a cage >.>

Thank you so much for simplifying this. I still feel kind of dumb, I've never actually seen a timer of any sort for lighting. How do Christmas light timers work?

Hello, I just got a chameleon but he was given to me in a crappy set up: exo terra glass tank with UVB bulb. That's it. I'm going to switch him to a screen cage soon but of course I'll also have to get a new heating and lighting set up. So far this is what I understand: I need a UVB bulb (5.0)...

Hello, I posted last night after I thought my chameleon couldn't open his eyes. It turns out he's just an extremely stubborn sleeper and woke up this morning with no problem. But not I have another issue, so bare with me. I just found out his previous owner had him for a year and a half, and...

How are you able to tell that he's dehydrated? I know he is because of the yellow uric acid, but just wondering how to tell by looking at him. I don't have a dripper or mister, I just use a spray bottle for now until I can upgrade him to a bigger cage. I'll fill that out and post it back

I am a beginner with chameleons but if there was one thing I learned from my bio class it was uric acid. Birds and reptiles do not form liquidy pee like we do, because our pee contains urea. In eggs, urea can be toxic and deadly for developing birds/reptiles, so they have uric acid instead which...

I hope you're right, would you be able to look at the photos I just added and tell me if anything seems abnormal?

Hello there, I'll try to condense this as much as I can but it'll still be long. I've been taking care of my former bio teacher's veiled chameleon for a few months. According to my teacher it's a male, and is named Newton. I'm not sure how old he is, but he is definitely at least 6 months and...
