Gettin Some Veil!

Re: Gettin Some Veil!
Cool! Lookin good, all puffed up. :D
Now you can tell me how hard or easy it is to care for a veiled. I really want one, but don't quite know how to care for chams. And I live in a dry area...
Let me know how it goes! And enjoy! :)

Re: Gettin Some Veil!
Here is the Veiled I picked up in Daytona in August. She has really grown. There is a little more to taking care of a snake such as daily feeding , dusting and misting but she is doing well etc. She is my first chameleon and I really enjoy having her.

I think they are fairly easy, as long as the humidity is kept up. I have a dripper, and I mist once a day, and hes all good!

Oh heck yeah! Chams are awesome, a lot of work, but awesome.

Re: Gettin Some Veil!
Try and mist more often than once a day, two to three times where possible even with the dripper running.
I notice that she’s just a little dehydrated but otherwise looking great!
The thing about Chameleon care is that they are very vulnerable to stress. Although their general care needs are easily met in terms of misting, feeding, heat, light and enclosure, there are many smaller aspects that a chameleon keeper needs to be conscious of.
In this case we have a Female Veiled chameleon, Veild's are a hardy chameleon but do not (generally) respond well to handling. Females of the species are better to deal with than males, who can be very aggressive. Also one needs to be aware that there are breeding differences between chameleon species. Female veilds for example will produce a clutch of eggs regardless of whether or not a male has been introduced to fertilize the eggs. If this need isn't addressed with an area for the eggs to be laid as well as calcium dusted food the animal can become egg bound and die. A panther chameleon on the other hand will only produce clutches of eggs after procreation with a male of the species.
Some say chameleons are a look, don't touch type of pet. I disagree with this statement but each animal has a personality and will act differently toward its owner. Some will be passive and will run to you when you open a cage, where as another will try and bit the piss out of you any chance it gets.
I suggest anyone that wants a chameleon do some reading and jump in, some of the most rewarding reptiles I’ve had the luxury of owning.
