Hi all. We have a baby veiled chameleon that we rescued from a teen that got in over his head. Not our first reptile, we’ve had bearded dragons, snakes, various geckos and anoles etc. Usually we foster, heal up and rehome but this one we plan on keeping. We’ve had him for two days and this morning, we noticed he was making little click noises- I’m thinking RI. he was drinking water this morning, he’s eating fine, poops look good, no stressed body language. I got rid of his plastic plants and gave him some pothos.

I’m thinking he already contracted due to bad husbandry/neglect and is just now starting to show signs. Now, this is our first cham and we are going out to get new supplies for him but I wanted to check here first to make sure I’m not missing anything.

Here’s the stuff he came with.

18x18x24 set up Live plants only Ground water dish with ample plants to climb down to drink from Bio active substrate set up Zoomed double mini light hood Purple heat lamp 50w And a 50w UVB/daylight

Previously he was being fed gutloaded small meal worms, we switched to gut loaded dubias.

Mist at night Timers switch from day to night light from 8:30 am-pm and he’s in front of a south facing window.

Noticed this morning his humidity dropped to 30% but I keep reading to not be tempted to mist and I’m afraid of the bad info out there.

I’m confident we can fix him up- I work from home and can monitor as needed and am willing to do what is needed. I just couldn’t leave him with a teen that was ready to just give up and let him die.

I also just found out that our Herp vet does not do chams 🤦🏼‍♀️ won’t tel me why- and we are out in the sticks. The closest herp vet is five hours away.

Hi all, I‘d like to give a panther chameleon a new home. As this is my first reptile ever, I‘d like to ask for your expertise on what would be the very best husbandry for this species?

According to the internet, a terrarium with a minimum size of 80x80x150 (width x length x height).

But what about ventilation, humidity, plants, temperature, … to consider? What else is important to make it as species-appropriate as possible?

Thank you very much :)

How do you keep plants alive in a chameleon cage? I just recently moved and the room doesn’t get too much sunlight. I’ve been through so many plants this year because of it.
