I took an exact measurement and its not quite 8 inches. I can get some sand to mix in, Also I could probably get a 12" wide bin in I would just have to move some stuff.
I read somewhere that a tall plastic trash bin with dirt on the bottom, sticks in it, and lights on the top can be good when...
@Beman I spoke with a vet who has worked with chams before, he said that with the changes I've made I've done about everything I should do for now. He also said improving humidity and making sure the temps are all right will do good. I'm still not going to sleep on the situation, but I think...
I got the light fixture and supplements up and running, she is definitely moving more and drinking, the eyes are still closed a good bit, but not anywhere near how long they used to be shut. I'm also feeding less. In all definitely improving and hopefully, she will be back to full health soon...
I have ordered a T5HO light fixture and new supplements based on the chart, I'm also working on getting to a reptile vet. other than that I would say she looks better than yesterday, her eyes have been open most of the time and her colors look good.
Thanks so much guys
I very rarely handle him/her as it's been pretty grumpy since I got her
I tend to feed her 12-20 crickets that roam her cage and they do disappear. whenever there isn't any I throw in a few extra
I dust the crickets from time to time but I know now I need a system
I have a dripper and a mister...
I'm sorry if that's what it sounds like from my writing but am taking your advice, it's always very helpful. I am doing everything I can, but to do that I just needed some answers, I'm going to take her to the vet, take your advice and fix everything you said. I am also very new to this forum so...
I did add more foliage, I wasn't aware my supplementing was a problem, but I did start hydrating more. I will get to changing the light fixtures ASAP (I had been using them cause its what I was sold) also I will gutload and dust better, both what I was feeding and dusting with were low end from...
Two screws in bulbs, nothing is on at night and there are no additional heat sources. I feed her crickets by letting them go in her cage, I don't often see her eat but the crickets go away, also I occasionally hand feed a worm to make sure she will eat and she usually does. I can improve gut...
Sorry about the info, I just copied it off an old thread of mine so some stuff is old, I knew it was a girl. The cage is about three feet tall and two feet wide. I gut load crickets with Flukers cricked calcium food and blue water cubes., the two lights are a 75-watt basking bulb and a 13 watt...

For a while, I only fed it mealworms, but I recently learned that was incorrect to do so. I now give it mostly gut-loaded crickets.

Hello, I've owned a female veiled chameleon for one to two months now. Recently she dealt with some dehydration (which may the still be the problem, I'm not sure.) I thought I had solved this when I bought a Monsoon Solo, automatic mister, however, she had still been acting off, and she had...
Today I gave the girl more water, she is still a bit dark but definitely brighter, I'm adding more sticks now and I will look into getting more plants, do you guys know any plants available and safe for chameleons?
Thank you guys so much, if I need help again I definitely know where to come!
