I have a male veiled and have recently started feeding him every second day instead of everyday. I'm unsure of when to give him his vitamins and when to give him his calcium. What can you guys recommend for me? I'd appreciate if you guys could share your schedules for your/an adult veiled as...

Even though it's way over exposed, this photo of Cosmo was too cute not to share

Great! I'll head out to the store tomorrow and get some of that stuff :D

Thank you! Yours sounds like an interesting setup, I was just gonna use a milk jug :LOL:

What kind of mesh would I need to line the back of the cup? I'm looking to make one but this part has me quite lost...

So great news! I took him in to a vet on Monday, who does work frequently with chams, and in fact has some of her own. She gave me eye drops to give him twice a day, and he's already doing much much better! His eyes were closed because they were very sensitive to light from over exposure to the...

I was in Newcastle in KZN at the time, but because there's so many and I'm not very clued up on the indigenous chams, I'm not sure which it really was

I'm pretty sure I came across one of these little guys in my backyard once when I was really young. It was my first time seeing a chameleon and I was in love with it! I would sit inside and look for it in the tree next to my window every morning, which might be why I love chams so much now :) I...

Try dripping the water from the dripper at about a drop per second, onto the tip of her mouth. I'm certainly not an expert or anything, but I did recently have a problem with my male veiled of the same age not drinking. After doing that, I ended up seeing him drinking a lot more.

I tried applying the dripper to his face gently, and he loved it. Hopefully he'll recognize it as a source if water from now on. As for the misting, I'll increase it. I've been paranoid about things like bacterial infections from excess humidity, but I suppose that just means I should go out and...

I've been following this page as a guideline: http://www.completecritter.com/veiled-chameleon.html It looks to be really well researched. I'll try and get him to do this today.

His urate shows that he isn't getting enough water, but I don't know how to get him to drink. I never see him drink after misting, or from the dripper's little drip stream on the leaves.

Eye open (you can see how it isn't normal): Faeces: His eye:

I used to do that because that's what the caresheets said, but after talking to the man I got him from, he said I was doing it too often, because it's too humid in Durban. He recommended I do it once or twice a day for a few minutes. I took his advice over the caresheets because not only are...

Thanks so much for the response. I'm trying to upload a picture of his faeces and urates, as well as Cosmo, and his cage, but it's difficult on my phone so I'm going to try and get them here ASAP.

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - His name is Cosmo, he's about 4/5 months old. I've only had him cor a week Handling - Practically never since he's still new to me, but more now that he's sick and I've had to take him to places like the pet store. Feeding - I feed him 6 or 8 crickets everyday...
