Thanks! I appreciate it :)

I have considered that, for sure. And it's looking more and more realistic. That's a genius idea! I may have to copy it. Thanks for the tip.

His cage is approximately 6" from the window, and that's as far as it'll go as it sits inside of a shortened fooseball table, which is the drain. Half the cage is positioned to be blasted by the sun while the other half is shielded by the wall and thick vegetation for shade. He does indeed...

Okay, well I guess it's time to start looking for a bigger cage. As for free range.... I wish I could. the problem is that when I leave his cage open for him to wander out on his own (I was curious of what he was trying to get at..) he always attempts to climb the drywall, to get to the...

Arrrgh. So I loaded the cage with more plants and climbables. I made literally like a prison cell of dowels across the back of the cage In his favourite clawing spot. Now, he moved back to the light. What's going on?!?!?! Is the UVB light he's pawing at not putting out enough? Too cold? Why...

I agree. If you notice in the first series of pictures everything went right to the top, because the flower pot took up about 10" of the cage at the bottom. I made blocks to raise the cage up so te bottom of the cage is at "ground level" to the plants, rather than the bottom of the pot. So now...

I'll grab some vines tomorrow. I have lots of real vines planted but it'll still be a while yet before they provide shelter. But as for the toes.. All I can do is polysporin? Is this going to be a significant issue having no nails on half of the one foot?

That is just a piece of fabric I had hanging from my curtains for him to hold onto while he was at the window during the cleaning of his cage. Otherwise he sits on the sill just scratching at the window and trim. UPDATE!!!!!!! so now the buggers gone and broke off the other toe nail on the...

Update! Yes, the nail is completely gone now. No bleeding or swelling still. Ok, will do. How long should I give it before it's a concern? Or is it just by looks? I just don't want the poor guy jamming a nail less toe into stuff and making it worse. One thing I'm about to start doing is...

Hey guys, I've had my first veiled Cham since January, he's approximately 7-8 months old, and has had no prior medical issues. He lives in a 18x18x36" screen cage in a dry Canadian climate. Recently I've noticed that his one toe nail is crossed over top of the one beside it... The...

thanks for the in depth explanation! I happen to have a warm mist humidifier kickin' around. Is it fine to use or is it more beneficial to just a cool mist? Or does it matter at all? this is what I'm using:

Will do! Now one thing I just noticed is that I screwed up the measurements earlier in this thread. The screen terrarium is 24x18x24, not 36 or 48 tall. (I've been looking at all sorts of terrariums all week, they're blending together now!) Still go screen?

I like your Velcro idea. I think you just convinced me to go with the screen one. Thanks!

The ones available in compact fluorescent which is what I'm using come in 13 or 26w, both 5.0 or 10.0. I had the 10.0 but found it was way too hot in his favourite sitting spot and way too many posts/blogs said not to run a 10.0 if you're unsure or if it's a veiled. I also had a 75w basking...

With the mesh enclosure, how do you find moisture containment to be? I'm sort of worried about having the mist/humidifier blasting the wall when it turns on. That was my main attraction to a glass terrarium.. Also, the crickets seem to be able to teleport through the mesh... I can't figure out...

Well, the main push to get a new enclosure is that this one is duct tape patched, and also a huuuge pain to access. It has a zipper that runs all the way around the top, which shakes the terrarium like an earthquake when you try to unzip it. I also had to make a wooden frame to go on top of it...

Hey guys and girls. First off, yes I've done tons of research and have almost worn out the "search button" .... just to start things off right :D SO heres my problems: I just got my first Veiled chameleon, (male, approx. 3 months old) and I'm having a horrible time getting his...
