No worries about the setup. This one is only for the first few days of up to five hatchlings, so I can watch them (it fits on my work desk). I have also already changed the formation of the "jungle gym" sticks for easier climbing. Once I have more than five they will move to the enclosures...

Okay, Brody, thanks for the advice!

Oh, I didn't know that - that's really important information, thank you. So the baby may have been indeed too hot. I won't leave the basking lamp on too long or lift it a bit higher. It is off now and the baby stopped digging. I have an excellent food supplier (Northampton Reptile Centre...

Well, AnamCara, that would be really important to know for sure! Where do we find out?

Salty, the temperature right under the 40V basking lamp is 32C = 89F and at the bottom on the other side 25C = 77F at day time. At night, the lights go off and the temperature in the room is between 25C = 77F and 20C = 68F. I have one of those pointer thermometres with which I can measure the...

So, after 7 months waiting, I have spent my first day with my very first chameleon baby! It is my first attempt breeding Yemen Veiled Chameleons and, all together, I have more than 200 eggs in the incubators and my female's belly is big and round again... My first baby will be joined by three...

Brody, what does loD or LoD stand for? And what % should the UVB be? I'm not sure what lamps I have now, but I will have to replace them soon. My female seems to be sometimes so "hungry" for UVB that she climbs on top of the cage and squeezes directly underneath the UVB canope and she stays...

Jannb, thank you once again for your really great advice. Your pictures are exactly what I was hoping to see here. I am in South England, UK, and have not found any breeders nearby yet. However, there is a reptile specialist pet shop about half an hour drive from us and they have expressed...

Beautiful setups! Thank you so much for this inspiration! Okay, I will start building and gluing such little scaffolds, too... Indeed, we will need a lot more space for this project.

My form completed: Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - 2x Veiled Yemen chameleons, 1F&1M, ca. 11/2 and 4 years old. Both about nine months in my care, but I have also had other chameleons before. Handling - Daily. Feeding - Each cham gets every second day about 10 crickets or 10 locusts or a...

:unsure::wideyed: Hello Brodey, thank you a lot for your invaluable advice. My first batch is 73 eggs, laid on 24th April. So they are actually only in their 5th month now. The next batch was on 31st May with about 50 eggs left out of 65 from another female. And she laid another batch of 67 eggs...

Thanks, I actually did quite a bit of "digging" already and I have two vivariums completely set up for the hatchlings and an excellent reptile food supplier who delivers any live food imaginable overnight. I shop here: https://www.reptilecentre.com/ - so I think I don't need to set up cultures...

Hi! My Veiled Yemen chameleon eggs have been in the incubator for almost 6 months and I expect the babies to start hatching soon. As it is my first batch, do you have any information, recommendations, and advice for me? For example, will the babies know naturally how to feed, drink, and move to...

Great idea! I will copy this, too.

Thank you all so much for the great information! This forum rocks!

Yes, but she has laid them on the floor of her vivarium. You are lucky that she did, but the ideal scenario would have been - as several forum members have pointed out above - if you had provided her with a laying box in time, where she could dig a tunnel and lay her eggs in a dark environment...

I have two questions regarding basic husbandry: 1. Cup feeding. In another thread (which I don't want to "hijack") I read this story: "Those worms [hornworms] can hold on to nearly anything like Velcro. My mistake for not cup feeding him. Anyway instead of the worm coming to Atlas when he shot...

My heart is with you, Kristen. Sadly, also my Lizzie passed away today, due to a far too large clutch of eggs. I did everything as the vet had recommended, was syringe-feeding her water, liquid calcium and highly-nutritious food paste, and she indeed picked up some strength initially and pushed...

Thank you all for your very helpful replies. It seems there is no end to learning as far as it comes to chameleon husbandry! I have reserved a spot for surgery at the vet's for next Tuesday (that was the earliest one I could get). If she lays in the meantime I can still cancel it, but if not she...

Yes, I have a thermostat. A simple one fixly attached near the basking lamp, and a second, pointer type one which measures the temperature wherever I point it to. Further, her vivarium is really large (150cm high x 60x60) and she can move between warmer and cooler places. But okay, I will make...
