veiled cham not pooping?

The UVB bulb shouldn't produce any heat, the basking bulb should be the only heat source. What kind of UVB bulb are you using?

That is pretty good. Most people end up switching to a linear UVB bulb because it is better for the chameleon's eyes, and it distributes UVB better around the top of the cage. That is just another option for you. Also, when your cham gets to be an adult, I would buy the 10.0 if you still want to stick with the compact fluorescent UVB bulb.

Thank u so much! I will look at a linear uvb bulb right now, but thanks for the support. People like you help out noobies like me.

Lol we were all noobs at one point or another The learning curve with owning chameleons is very steep, and you will learn a whole heck of a lot as you go. Good luck and know that CF is here to help!

I would try opening your own thread and filling in the "How to ask for help form". It really is crucial for other members to try to pinpoint what you might be doing wrong. I'm pasting it below so you don't have to go through the trouble of finding it yourself Good luck! People here are extremely helpful, but they'll need to know all about your husbandry to be able to pinpoint what may be going on.

She already has her own thread called "HELP! Back legs unresponsive, not eating, has not pooped, swollen butt" but she wouldn't answer the questions over there, doubt she will here.

Yeah I realize that I gave her the how to ask for help form a few times but she hasn't filled it in yet. Hopefully we can somehow help the chameleon out though. I've never owned a female but I find it strange that in over two years she hasn't laid a single egg? I honestly don't know how that works but it sounds off to me.
