You are the kindest in explaining stuff… people often assume oh all people jus tho rushing to get a chameleon. NO! I happened to come across a chameleon that needed rescued so here I am!
You are doing amazing! Keep up the good work. I wish you the best with your cham 💕
That chameleon is a unit, he on a workout plan?
Atomic Yeti Just the “must always climb mother tree workout.” 😂💕
My mom told me if I could do research and help pay I can get a chameleon! I’m researching a ton, dont worry. We will probably get one in like a year or a couple months, but this video helped!thanks!!!
If you dont have a chameleon yet I suggest getting a bearded dragon instead
@@watermelontimtom9974 we decided to not get one. I’ve had bearded dragons I. The past too!
@@parkers9095 why did you decide against it?
@@Varifyable we just thought it wasn’t the right time to get one yet and we should wait a little bit. I’m planning on getting one just not right now!
Literally everything i wanted to know, answered in one video. Thank you so much.
B L E A CH Perfect! Thank you so much!! 💕💕💕
Why are you called bleach don't use bleach for camilions💕♥️👍💖🌿🌿🌿
@@lecilinting3003 its a kinda edgy joke
Pothos is incredibly easy to grow and vines beautifully. There are so many beautiful variations too!
ive been planning on getting a Veiled Chameleon for a while now.
Im getting mine in 2 days, currently reviewing what I know and finishing up the cage.
He is about 3-4 weeks i think
I cant wait
Wish me luck!
KbugzS I hope you’ve gotten him by now! I’m getting another piebald soon which will be my 3rd. Keeping them separate will be a lot of work but honestly chameleons are worth all the work
I'm assuming you already got it but if u haven't I'd highly recommend getting it from a experienced breeder they will be in good health and age 9 times out of 10 if u get a cham for a store they will give it to u way too young and too skinny or just not healthy
If u have any issues Google chameleon forums they will answer any questions u might have
He's beautiful! Trying to talk my wife into getting one.
Noob Saibot you should definitely try and get one but they take a lot of time to care for and take a lot of space.
@@waddlesjr.2580, thanks so much for the insight. Thankfully, we're both semi-retired so time shouldn't be too much of an issue.
If you have a wife, you don't have time for a chameleon.
Were can I get one I want one for my birthday my old one died
Me too, but I am trying to convince my parents
thank you for giving proper help, i’m experienced in leapord geckos and bearded dragons and i’m rescuing a neglected chameleon. i’m uneducated on it but you gave me some real help. everyone else just tells people not to unless their super experienced
Thank you so much! I ordered a fogger and thought that would do and cancelled the order not knowing I needed a mister. Great video!
Chameleon: hey put me back to my house......
This is One of the Best channels on RUclips information and everything good wise, keep the videos coming I can see this channel getting very big! Sending love from Brooklyn!
Zulya A Thank you so much!!!!! 💕💕💕💕
I love how thoroughly you went through everything!!
The big fella looks so chilled out. Very informative video.
My favorite animals on Earth are Bearded Dragons and Veiled Chameleons. I think they are the cutest animals ever. Your chameleon is so cute!
Outstanding!! I actually saw someone yesterday who want to get a veiled and I told him to go check out your channel. Banba looks great!!!
Ryan Chadwick Awww, Thank you! I appreciate that so much and your amazing support, of course! 💕
Congrats on 15,000 subs! You deserve it! And Banba is looking amazing as always!
Lori Halstead Thank you, love!!! 😘💕✨
That chameleon is beautiful! Just scrolled across your channel. Awesome stuff :)
Upgrading from 18 x 18 x 36 to 24 x 24 x 48 enclosure. Now time for set up. Thanks for the info.
Thank you for your time in making a very well informed video on this magnificent animal. I have that same type. He comes from a beauty named Jethro. Just received him a few days ago. Hes considered a Juvenile. And he Loves to eat. Im thinking I need to be giving him other slightly bigger insects with more goodness to them. I make sure that I handle him at least once a day to help him feel safe and relaxed in his new home.
Thank You,the people at the per store didn’t give me these type of information. I know I should’ve done the research on my own but the employee was confident in his answers. But there’s so much I didn’t know and I’m glad I know now and I’m sorry my Chamelon doesn’t have the complete set it he needed
Great! I'm going to be using some of these tips to put together my Cuban Knight anoles new reptibreeze when I get it. They should love it!
Great video! Keep the chameleon videos coming.
Wow there is so much involved with those beauties! They require so many things for their picky needs lol. That is a beautiful enclosure! And he is super gorgeous lol and was very active at this point XD
Thanks I’m getting one for my birthday and this helps alot
Nice video! An easier way to tie foliage up is with twist ties. Strip the plastic back to expose the thin wire, it goes through the screen with ease. You can cut them to the lengths you need. My fat fingers aren't good with fishing line lol
Thank you this is so helpful.
Thank you so much for all your info!!
Gawd thats one gorgeous veiled chameleon!
Loved this video provides a lot of helpful information!
Answered slot of my questions. Good video.
Simply stunning 🦎🦎
Awesome video. Lots of info. Thank you!
Thank you!!! Lots of great information that I didn’t know!
In a dark room would the light from a TV stress the chameleon? . I am wanting to get one for first time but want to make sure i do everything right you know.
You are very beautiful by the way and so is Bamba : )
Great video. My fiancé and I are building all new enclosures for our animals starting with our Jackson’s chameleon. He recently just had to go to the vet because one of his feeder insects (superworm) bit the inside of his mouth. We didn’t know at the time but his lower jaw went and swelled with puss very quickly. Luckily our vet could see him right away. There was a little opening where the infection started from the bite so the vet used that for the incision and pushed out the puss, also have him a shot. Sadly his jaw was dislocated from the puss pushing the jaw so he’s on liquid calcium with D3 and liquid antibiotics. We also have to the syringes to hand feed him beef baby food and water to prevent him from opening his mouth as much as possible so that his jaw can heal up properly. So far he’s doing great still keeping his weight, taking the medicine, calcium, food, and water very well, and he only has slight swelling left in the jaw area. The vet said this is actual very common with chameleons.
Breanna Hoffnagle My goodness! What a traumatic experience just from a pesky superworm. Your poor little guy. I’m so glad that he’s improving. You’ve done such a great job with him. 💕
I use moss at the bottom, and I just got a chameleon he’s a baby and now I look at yours thinking “ damn that’s huge “ and we have the blue light sadly. I’ll change it or look into it
If you're talking about the blue heat lamp light chameleons do need a heat lamp and then a UV lamp as well so don't get rid of the heat lamp he needs both!!!
Keep the daylight blue light for heat and get him a T5 linear UVB that’s high output. My chameleons have this and they are doing great!
Moontail Animations. Update 6 months later. I’m building my chameleon his own enclosure he outgrew his, he got really big and I got him the proper uv light. Thanks for helping! ❤️
@@bellagonz6281 quick question do you have both on at the same time or just one during the day and one during the night?
nastyboybrandon during the day I have both lights on and at night time I only leave the blue light on
hello i love that chameleon keep making awesome vids
Hi, I'm just here to say that I keep my veiled chameleon in a glass enclosure and it's been like 9 months and he's doing just fine, no shedding problems.... Just to say that you Can keep à veiled chameleon as long as it has ventilation at the top and bottom
Shedding isn’t the major problem. It’s respiratory infections that you can’t see that get them
It looks so good!!!!!
ZA Reptiles Thank you!!!!💕💕💕
This answered a ton of questions I had. I fell in love with a veiled chameleon at local expo and my mom really like him too but I didn't have very much knowledge about them so I decide not to get him. I am doing a ton of research and maybe at ths next expo I can get one. I was wondering if you could keep them outside in good weather. I live in Louisiana which has super high humidity and for a large part of the year stays at 80° or higher. In the winter it will get to about 40° some days but I could bring it in then.
That should be okay during the day with supervision. You want to have a basking spot about 85°-95° and a cool spot 72°-80°. At night a temp drop is good but you don’t want anymore than below 40° preferably no lower than 45°. If you can roughly manage these conditions with either supervision or a very secure cage to prevent predators like birds, cats, coyotes anything like that from getting to them. When/if you do get a Cham I hope you enjoy them!
Thank you so much im looking for a chameleon so thank you, that looks likena very healthy chameleon you got there 💗
Hi loved your video. Just curious where you purchased your cage from? I found one the same size from reptibreeze but I want to make sure I got one that’s a good quality.
Great video with loads of great info. What about mold and mildew forming in the room? Also is 18x18x36 big enough??
Thanks, great info that i really needed.
Always looking so beautiful hope u doing good, sorry been a while again been busy
"I love me some pothos" 😭😂😂😂
Thanks for the great vid. I live in TX and want to do a setup for a veiled. I would love to keep it in my office but the only room I have is in front of a large tall window. I am concerned about the temp during the winter. Could that be a problem? I see yours is next to one. Didn't know if you have any ideas to consider should I put mine in front of one.
Can you give me a link on the uvb light, also at night do I turn off the uvb or just the other light? I’m picking up my baby tomorrow. Very excited and learned everything I know from all of your videos
I do use a bulb light for my chameleon, but I have 2 so it gives my chameleon the uvb he needs, I have had him for 1 year and he is doing great
Thank you so much this was very helpful
I successfully keep panther chameleons in a glass exo terras with small computer fans to encourage air flow. Screen cages are fairly new and chams were kept in glass prior.... I also open the doors when I’m in the room to allow extra air exchange.
Alycia Michelove That’s great! There’s so many different ways to successfully keep reptiles. I’m glad you found one that works best for you!
Very helpful video awesome advice!
Hi, right now, I am having the problem in my enclosure that I have a bunch of good foliage in the bottom of the enclosure, but on the top there is nothing there. What do you recommend to really cover the whole cage?
thank you for the info
We were given a veiled chameleon (guy that gave us him said he was maybe 6 months old but he was really small and has doubled in size in the 4 months we've had him.) We noticed after a month or so that he doesn't drink from the dripper or drops on leaves. We would change the dripper daily and had it dripping on leaves and vines above a small glass fish tank. He would head straight pass the drip water and to the standing water he pooped in to drink. We still try to use the dripper, but he will still head straight past it and drink out of the 20 gallon fish tank we put in. (Added a filter, no there isn't fish in it)
I think this video is really useful! Thank you reptile Black Widow.(You look like Scarlett Johansson.)
That chameleon isn't just like from spiderman villains ever so cool he just like master of disguise
Sweet, my chameleon is going to be some much happier now!
Thank you for the great video! I have a question about my veiled chameleon. Can you tell me why he keeps trying to hang on the top of the screened enclosure? It’s like he’s trying to get closer to the light fixture, so I’m thinking I need to upgrade his lights. I have them about 5-6” from his basking spot. I see that you mentioned in your video that he will need the tube UVB. Can I purchase the T5? I was told the T8 would need to go on the inside of the enclosure.
Could you link the cage you have? I just got a baby chameleon so I’m preparing to get what he needs for when he’s bigger 🥰
Amazing enclosure! How do you catch the water from misting/dripping? Do you have some sort of drainage system?
Are wax warmers safe to use around chameleons?
Does the wattage matter for the lights? I'm trying to find the best UVB tube light but having some trouble. Thanks! Very informative
Yes but it depends on ur cage size, I would recommend the reptisun t5 5.0
I really appreciate the helpful knowledgeable content unlike some peoples silly opinions that dont add up
I feel happy to know that I got the same uv light in the video
With an open enclosure how do you keep the mist from getting everywhere? Like on the walls and stuff? And wouldnt all the humidity cause water build up on the walls all the time?
I got a reptile habitat starter kit will the blue light blue that it came with still work?
Overall good summary. I breed several chameleon species. Cage material is no longer an issue as long as you have appropriate airflow. Glass, pvc and screen all work as long as you have a screen top and a path for the air to get on near the bottom front. I realize this video is two year old. Pothos is a great chameleon plant
I want one when my leopard gecko passes away. Shes already about 8-9 yrs old and i love her shes such a cutie i dont want her to die :(
One important question.
Did he ever tried to eat dragon fly (tattoo) on your arm ? 😂😂😂
Amrit Ranjan Lmao! No actually. He’s missing out 😂
Awesommmee!!!! 💕 Love your videos!!
Charlize Cruz Thank you so much!!! 🥰💕
Ty for the help
I'm thinking of getting a Chameleon I've been researching for months if you could go back and due something different what would it be and what do you wish you would of known before getting a Chameleon
I have a 60 watt uvb bulb in a lamp, it that good enough? my cage in 36 inches long I want him to have the best life
I have a very important question 😅 I know you said that you could go with a bigger encloser for a small chameleon as long as you have enough foliage, but what if the baby falls? My friends sisters chameleon has all four of her legs broken because the previous owner had a big enclosure and it fell. Do you know how I would prevent that? Should I get smaller vines if possible or just enough foliage so the chameleon won't fall and hurt itself
My dads buying me one thanks for this video
Bamba is so beautiful and healthy 🤗
That was helpful. Thank you :)
Is it true even tho you can give a veiled the nutrients And calcium it needs the head Will Curve just a small bit? Im asking because my veiled has a slightly curved head
I've got a veiled chameleon I need to re home. He is amazing and has a perfect enclosure. Reason I need to re home is that I need to spend time away with aging family and don't have anyone near who can help take care of him. I'm in Southwest FL and wondering if you have any ideas on how to find someone open and able to re home him?
I have a vield chameleon should I give it thick vines or leave it into a medium vines
So do you use both the heat lamp and the uvb?
My chameleons eyes are always bothering him. My UV light is a smaller bulb, with a tall enclosure--could it be the light?
Nyomi Mae It could be. I would first of all recommend a long tube uvb, as they work much better. Also, make sure you get a tropical 5.0, anything more than that can cause irritation
Reptilian Garden do you have any links for chameleon needs?
I was wondering are Outside terrariums recommended ? more if you live in a tropical environment? That way it gets the light it needs and also having another Terrarium inside the house for raining days what are your thoughts to it? I'm quite interested in chameleons but wanna be very prepare (likely will get a little more time and keep searching info)
Steven Irrizarry Outdoor setups can be amazing if you live in an area that supplies to proper temps. If it gets too cold outside, it maybe best to bring the animal inside and use heating and uvb instead. If you live in a tropical climate, it can majorly benefit the chameleon to get that natural sunlight and uvb! You’ll still want to make sure to mist the animal down on dry days and keep it hydrated!
@@reptiliangarden Ho yes i like the idea and the best of all is that I can enlarge it's territory so it can have more space. Also since I live in a tropical island I think it will work very smoothly. Obviously I will have his own Terrarium inside the house for those raining days. But for now I will keep searching more information to be prepared on care and tips to give them a good life. And thanks for the reply :D
I just got a 6 week old veiled chameleon from someone who couldnt take care of him anymore, they gave me a 3foot tall mesh enclosure, but they have him in a glass enclosure right now. Right now hes struggling with a pretty bad Calcium Deficiency which i hear is common. Im familiar with a lot of reptiles as ive had snakes and lizards for a long time, but this seems to be way different. is there a website or forum for me to go to get help and ask questions that you would suggest? im trying to get him moved into the mesh container as quickly as possibly but i only got him on october 2nd an its taking some time. hes also not really eating as much as i expected, how much should a young male be eating?
Hi- i love your videos! where can i get a hanging feeder bowl like you have for banbo please?
So do I need the dome lighting and stick lighting for my chameleon’s home??? I’m new to this I’m sorry...
What do you have for the bottomed of the enclosure? At the moment I have coconut husk type material
What I’ve been using the other uvb for a month.. would he be ok?
Hi! I’m looking into getting a panther chameleon by spring time hopefully, I want to be as prepared as possible before I get one tho! But because I’m new to researching, I just found your channel and love your content!! Exactly how do you clean off the plants and how do you feed them so nothing is toxic to the chameleon? Also do you use a substrate?
I recommend getting some books and read through them for all of the info you need.... they do not need substrate unless you have a female and she will need a nesting box for egg laying they still lay eggs even if they haven't been bred
Annette check out Neptune the chameleon on RUclips she has one and provides tons of good info :)
I’m planning on getting one do you think a 16x16x30 would be enough??
super cool!
How much do you think the cage should be misted? I have a mister but how often do you think its should go off
Are cage set ups the same for all chameleons?
Every thing i needed😃😃
Sorta a stupid question but I have tons of plants would a chameleon be able to live around my room during the day and stay in a small enclosure at night
hey! my veiled chameleons growing and I've looked everywhere online for a 4X2X2 enclosure and can't find any.
Where did you get yours?
Thanks!
Theres a zoo med enclosure on Amazon for around $100, I got mine from there but it takes a couple weeks to ship due to its size and demand
I love this video so much and have been binge watching them because I have a baby chameleon and want to give him the best care that I can. Please help me with these two questions because I have been researching and getting mixed answers: 1) I bought my chameleon a linear light, because I heard this was the best one.. but do I also need a basking light for him or is the linear light alone fine? 2) Do you believe that it is better to not include any flooring in the bottom of the cage because of respiratory issues?
1) yes a basking light is also required even if you have an uvb bulb, uvb give off minimal heat but it’s necessary for the chams to absorb calcium and help their bones grow to their potential size (: and then 2) soil substrate is optional, I just think as long as you have the time to clean it and make sure the soil isn’t moldy or just becoming really messy then it’s ok. I have a bio active enclosure with soil but I set aside a couple hours every week to maintain it. The respitory issues only come if the soil is too wet and soggy
I like it a lot
Such knowledge
