So, I have had Bug (male veiled Cham) for about six months now. I estimate he was 6-10 weeks old when I bought him. He has never touched a fruit, vegetable, or in between. Should I be worried? I mean I've offered him blueberries, strawberries, banana slices. He just glares at them when I set...

I had a feeling it was a burn, the pus bubble looked like some I've had from bad sunburn and furnace incidents. I've rearranged his lamps and uvb to prevent any worse from occurring. I have it about 10 degrees cooler now, he's not happy about that it seems, but he'll live at least. I feel...

Came home from work today, and brought Bug (aka .50 caliber) out for a moment while I fiddled with his plants a little (pothos ivy, training the feelers) and spotted two spots on the same side of his spikes/spines/back-ridge. One looks like a blister, or a boil maybe. The other looks a little...

No, he kept his tail wrapped around my hand.

Bug/50

So today Bug/50 (veiled chameleon male, I've had him for about 3-4 months now, my guess is he is probably 6 months give or take) did something very out of the ordinary. Per my usual routine I get back from work (about 2pm) and go to check on him, make sure he ate all his crix, then offer to let...

I'm new to all this but: I would get one of those super small blenders, like they sell for protein shakes, mix super worms crickets and maybe some baby food in for a purée. That way you can add vitamins or calcium dust or whatever else in. Then syringe it.

So just a little bit ago I caught my little buddy sleeping on the screen, and decided "since has fell once because he is not a morning lizard that is probably a horrible spot for him to sleep." So I gently woke him up and repositioned him on his pothos rather than the screening. As I move him...

Going by tarsal bumps? They are hard as needles to see right now since he does not like handling just tolerates it till he can start moving to a branch again. I did think the crest was a little prominent for a female even at (I'm guessing slightly, a lot) 8 weeks.

Just got the little scaley today, initially I was thinking is female but more I look I thinking male… Opinions? Age estimates are appreciated as well. I'm aware he's starting or finishing a shed so going by tarsal? bumps is difficult. I think might be little dehydrated as well, gave good shower...

Today today! Chameleon today!

yep, reptisun 5.0. It's in one of those sideways laying lamp deals with the reflective plate on the back.

Now I don't feel so bad about the 65 low. On the flip side I feel stupid for not checking native temps. Thanks nightanole

I've read that already, problem is; single basking point is at 84* everywhere else is 65-70.

I'm going to look further into this, I don't like the idea of a heat source from the bottom very much, but because of heating issues it might become a necessity.

Chameleon comes when I finish enclosure lol! Which honestly will be once I sterilize branches and go nuts with craft wire to secure them. Then there will be personal Cham photos :)

Any recommendations on how to set the heat tape? I'm not overly familiar with that particular type of tape. Highest temperature i have got a reading on so far from a 75w is (measured approx 6" below bulb) 84*F, I thought Veileds need low 90's???

i feel smart...

Wait... its trophy points that set member? How many you need? Next Next month might enter a photo.

yeah mostly for basking, ambient heat output would be a bonus though. For some reason my house is perpetually 60-65* through the day. No matter where I set the thermostat.
