Enclosure

[Chefcarlos]

hello All, just got my new Cham I posted yesterday about the history on this Cham.i got some real plants in there took out the moss but I noticed when I mist the terrarium my Cham gets freaked out some water fell on him and he hides good thing is I saw him drinking water from the leaves. Still worried about his tail when I rescued him crossing the street his tail was like that in the pics.

The running away from the mister while being misted is a normal behavior. As for his tail, I do not know if it will be an issue or not.

My Veiled hates the MistKing, but my Panther loves it. If I were you, I’d try to get your chameleon in to see a reptile vet. I prefer to be safe than sorry. Since you just got him, you don’t know his history, and he has the visible tail deformity. The vet can run all the checks to ensure your new cham is parasite free and leaves with a clean bill of health. Just my 2 cents.

Where did you get him? His enclosure looks a little small, what are the dimensions? His tail looks pretty bad, again maybe he had an accident from his time with his previous owner, but you never know.

They are an invasive species in Florida. Do you have other Reptiles? If you do, and plan on keeping him long term, than you should get him treated for parasites.
