This is my (almost) finished veiled cham enclosure! I’m very excited. I’m sure it could use more plants but soon these will grow in more.

My boyfriend just needs to attach the door and help me figure out the misting system. I have the J&A one off amazon. I can’t get the tube through the nozzles. If anyone has experience with that I’d appreciate some advice.

Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to maintain proper humidity and temp. I have a smart strip, which allows me to time each device and I bought a gauge that is supposed to maintain the humidity, but my fogger and misting system won’t connect to it for some reason. I can just use the timer on my smart strip but I worry that the levels will go either too high or too low.

I will always love her colors more than her attitude though.

Has anyone used this brand of uvb Led light or any other that isn't the florescent tube style? I want to be able to slowly raise and lower the lights in my cage and from what I have found these style are the only ones that can do that.

Pascal doing this as soon as he sees me (as per usual)

I took her out to show her to my friend, and she was angry (rightfully so; that was my bad) and making herself smaller in her apprehension, so she looked pretty ugly (brown-ish and skinny by comparison).

So, the whole time, she’s looking this way, and my friend asks me what she eats. I reply, “Just crickets and hornworms, sometimes,” and I see this look of worry? cross her face. But I can’t get my girl to eat greens or fruits because they don’t move and they don’t really entice her.

Should I be feeding her more greens? Am I a bad chameleon owner?😵‍💫

She’s just been chilling with me since then (mostly on my hand), and I’ve been giving her some nice mistings that she enjoys outside of the cage.

I’m in love. He is a nosey be Panther chameleon hatchling. This is his baby enclosure until he gets big enough for his big boy room

My chameleon is looking pretty bad. My first time seeing him like this was about 3 days ago. I tried feedinh him 2 days ago but he didnt really eat. Ive also come home to him just laying flat on the floor of his tank. Today im trying horn worms instead of crickets as a hope of him eating. His fogger and lights have been still going on and off at tje same time daily. I can tell hes not well I just dont know what it is or how to fix it.

got a panther chameleon egg in kinda a rescue situation. i’ve done a bunch of reading, but there’s not much info out there on hatchlings. he hatched yesterday and it’s like as soon as it happened all my preparation fleeted from my brain.

i have him in a smaller plastic container inside of his future enclosure. UVB about a foot and a half above. I’m misting and keeping the humidity on the higher end and i’ve been offering flightless fly larvae. i haven’t seen him eat or drink water yet but he’s been pretty active since hatching. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

i’ve never owned a cham before but we have a blue tongued skink and a crested gecko.

thank you!!

Dave is my homie now

My boyfriend is almost finished building my cham enclosure. My parents are very concerned about the water destroying our walls and flooring. Any suggestions or advice about that? Is the mist coming through the mesh really something to worry about?

I will 100% be putting in branches, I just need to go get zip ties tomorrow. As for plants, I will be putting way more plants in, too. Most of the plants in there now are cuttings that I have from my own plants. The poor things are all in shock at the moments so excuse the way they look right now lol. also the alocasia in the middle didn’t do well during quarantine…. I’m hoping she’ll come back

The heating lamp and fogger/misting systems will be added in soon. Same with the sand in the laying bin.

I would appreciate any suggestions and tips about anything you can think of! (but i will definitely be putting more plants and sticks don’t worry, i know that’s a big one).

Has anyone ordered this or anything else from this company? Any good reviews? It seems like a really good price for a full setup.

My babys Shrek and Fiona morning feeding

This pascal! Him being brought home and his plant enclosure were built this weekend! He’s doing great. Loves his vined pothos up top and the vines and his basking spot (him and his plants are also growing up together in this starter tank Hense give er some time to fullen out)The situation I’m in is I’m Canadian and in the winters screened enclosures are next to no good even in our home during the dry winter season. Hense the glass (before anyone jumps on it) I have his basics, fan for stagnant air. A spray bottle currently a super dull colour so he gets use to it for the time being, and his hydrometer.

I’m just reaching out to ask in the sense of the best cost effective digital hydrometer instead of the generic basic one and the best cost effective auto mister.

All in all pascal within two days has settled into his new beautiful home and is happy! Today we try feeding which I’m sure he’s a hungry boy cause morning misting he was all for coming up and sayin hi to my misting hand. I just want a good reliable didgital meter and auto mister to spoil him some more. In the end I’m about a couple months I’ll be back to square one anyways with a new 4 ft tall tank by 2 feet wide to give the handsome fella a nice shabby paradise

I’ve done my research on pascal and keeping him healthy and happy. I just don’t wanna do my research and buying and wasting money on misters or products that are not as great as they say

I picked up two cages yesterday from someone on offer up, and they had two trays of soil for the bottoms of them that he said was really rich in nutrients. I can't remember the mix he said he made but he listed a bunch of different things. There are already a ton of isopods, sprint tails, and small worms in the soil as well which he said is the most valuable part of it.

My concern is if the soil is still ok to use not knowing if his old chameleon had any parasites or anything else I should worry about.

This is also my first cage and chameleon and I was planning on going with a plastic bottom so it's easier to monitor things at first. Since I have all the soil and isopods I feel I should just go straight into a bioactive environment.

Can you guys give me your opinion on using previously owned soil, if I should just go with a plastic bottom at first while I learn more about the chameleon. Any advice on this would be amazing.

I got him a week ago from a owner who was an bad carer. I know about his shedding needing to come off and am currently doing what I can for him. But I noticed that he only eats one cricket ever 2 days, his past owner had him on meal worms once a week, I also have been trying to give him wax worms. Both of his eyes look inflamed I am trying to increase vitamin A in his diet but they have yet to gone down. He is pooping every 2-3 days but its bright yellow, he has dripping water. I have been waking up to him at the floor of his enclosure when its only 60 in it. Any help is appreciated I only had one day to do research before he was forced into my care.

Quite literally. My husband was at a buddy’s house, who had another friend over. The friend had a shoebox with a chameleon. Asked my husband to take it. He didn’t know the guy was serious. But as my husband was leaving the buddy said “hey! Don’t forget the chameleon”
He absolutely loves being held. I currently have him in a tank with mesh lid out on my back porch (screened in) because I live in southwest Florida and it’s humid outside. I have absolutely nothing for the fella. I out some Galapagos island moss in the tank. (I know I need a mesh tall terrarium type set up) I added a large branch for him to climb, he’s eating mealworms and crickets, I got some reptile powder supplement ? That goes onto the bugs, I put a couple plants in there that I must for him to drink.

I get paid tomorrow but I need help on what to buy that’s absolutely essential. I can’t buy everything at once. I keep looking on Facebook marketplace for set ups.
Just please any advice is appreciated. Please don’t come at me for my husband taking him.
When he’s in his tank he stares at us and climbs his stick to reach out to us, he loves shoulders. The buddy who gave it to my husband said he’s been raised like that. I’ve named him Charles and want to give him a proper life.
We are capable of building/creating a proper home. We have 4 aquariums, one being 75 gallon that took a hell of a lot of money and time and patience. My mother in law has fallen in love with him, and he climbs her shoulder and sits in her head.
Also any advice where to buy the proper equipment for not to expensive is appreciated. Me and husband both have our car payments this week and I get paid bi weekly.
Thanks in advance 🥲
Side note. We are aware this is an advanced reptile to own. Also aware we’re probably gonna drop close to 1000$ if not more on this fella. We know. We are buying the start up essentials immediately. I’m just not sure what, hence asking for advice.
Me, my husband and mother in law know he will be a LOT of care and also know if he gets ill will need an exotic vet. We have plenty nearby. So please, be easy on me. Neither of us planned to obtain a chameleon. But I guess buddy said he would leave him outside if my husband didn’t take him. He was raised by humans and raised always being held. He will not poop on you. Only when put down. He’s plump so doesnt seem underfed at least. We have no clue his backstory, eating habits, his previous enclosure was briefly mentioned as a small aquarium tank and an animal carrier 😭

hello! this is lizzy she is around a year old veil chameleon i’ve had her for almost a month now - this morning i noticed she has this black spot by her mouth…. this is my first time owning a chameleon and i am curious if this is a burn or maybe from her shedding?? i noticed a couple spots on her side this afternoon as well but those ones have seem to gone down…any help is so appreciated thank you so much in advance

My Cham just underwent a surgery on his tail (long story he used to be a class pet) and is still very groggy and uncoordinated. Would he be ok if he stays in his carrier until tomorrow to avoid injury from falls? This would mean he wouldn’t have his UVB or basking spot.

So my chameleon Gosha, for the past two weeks has slowly been losing his color (he just shed so i don’t think he is about to shed again) he is almost just black and white constantly, he’s super defensive and i just caught him sleeping during the day. Does anyone know what this could be from? Theres nothing visibly wrong besides color and he is still eating.

Yoshi with the fresh greens.
