Anyone that has recently or is thinking about purchasing a cham, one thing a lot of people fail to mention is when you interact with your cham, pay attention to the shirt you are wearing. Bright colors such as red, blue, yellow, etc effect your cham in a negative way. Same goes for dark colors like black, navy blue, etc. Greens and browns are colors chams see as relaxing. Just a little tip to help anyone out.
I love my female, but the egg laying every 90 days is extremely stressful for both of us. I do everything I can to make sure she's comfortable and has everything she needs but it's always hard. Even though I absolutely adore her, my next veiled will be a male.
I have about a 7 month old female chameleon, I’ve handled/worked with her a lot. Especially when she was little. (Obviously I’d put her back or leave her alone when she’d get stressed or overwhelmed) But it’s worked out great, she loves to be held and loves people. She’s my first chameleon and it’s been amazing so far, I always watch your videos just for little tips and stuff, and it’s really helped so far. Thanks!! Lots of love from Beans and I.🦎💖
Thank you so much for all the info. I’ve been wanting a Chamaeleon for about a year now. I do own a gecko and a bearded dragon. I’ve done a lot of research and I learn something new every day it seems like. I’m grateful for people like you who put this information out there so we can learn more before getting these animals. Thanks again!
Yume wasn't able to get all the eggs out on her 4th clutch of eggs. During surgery they found a big mass that was a bunch of eggs that somehow grown merged together. That was almost 2 months ago, she is doing great now! The doctor could find only one ovary and removed it so we are hoping she won't lay again.
@@jadeestherheanan9387 Yes, Yume is still with me and well :) She went through three surgeries now, the second was particularly bad because the egg raptured and got all around inside her. The vet wasn't very hopeful but she recovered even easier than after first surgery. Third surgery it was hard to force her to rest, she is so strong. We are hoping he managed to get the second ovary out so she can live without any more troubles. She is such a gentle soul, I would give half of my remaining life to her, if I could spend it by her side. By the way, you can see her in "Male Vs. Female Veiled Chameleons!" video at 6:47 and in "Pros & Cons to Veiled Chameleons" at 8:45
i legit got a chameleon cause of bamba,i wanted a boy so bad cause of the way they look and the size! well fast fowards 2 months i learned i had a girl lol so it went form dexter to dextra and i love her!
I have a female, I just finished setting up her bio-active cage with terra firma and bio-bag from Bio-Dude, I have been watching you, Neptune, Bio-Dude, and of course, Bill Strand and have learned a lot so I could put her set up together properly, as YES, I am one of those people that got sucked into a "chameleon kit"... that will be her outdoor cage now. I have the proper size cage, lights, substrate, etc so she will be able to lay her eggs as safely as possible, when the time comes. She is about 6 months now, so I am reducing her feedings and I bought a deep dome lamp so she gets a better temperature regulation in her cage, which she seems to be enjoying even tho I need a TON more plants! I would be happy to update info on her as she progresses, if you just tell me how. Skittles is wandering about her cage now, she doesn't seem to mind that she really has one real hiding place right now, tomorrow there will be a trip to the local nursery as I continue my search for a ficus or umbrella plant for her. Have a great night... Chat with you soon :)
I remember getting my veiled chameleon called Mercury. I got told it was a boy but she turned out to be a girl. I remember them saying that I was able to take her back and get a male but I had already made an emotional attachment with her and wasn’t going to let her go so here we are, egg laying can be a pain but we get through it
I have a juvinile female, probably about half full grown. How big of a worry is her getting egg bound going to be? Is there a significant chance? I have a vet on call if ever needed,just worried it's more common then I think :(
Awe so cute always loved chameleons. Always wanted one maybe one day. Awesome video as always. Hope you are feeling better. Keep up the great work. 🦎🦎🦎
We have a female I believe . My kid came home with a lizard but not that bit of information. It’s a juvenile at the moment but I am not looking forward to the egg laying. Trying to learn all I can.
I have a female veiled chameleon and she seems to always want to walk around out in the yard in the grass. However sometimes she changes colors sometimes she doesn't I'm unsure if she feels intimidated or if she's enjoying herself out there. I'm trying to give her a little real vitamin d u v and some daily exercise outside with me. But I don't want to stress her out.. is it normal for them to want to roam around? I thought they always enjoyed being in higher places? It's my first chameleon and I really want to learn and treat her right
The egg laying thing is what scares me the most about my crestie!! I thought I was getting a boy, but I ended up with a girl and I'm so scared once she gets to egg laying something is going to go wrong
Hi Abby, I’m in the same boat. This video just made me more nervous about the fact that she’ll have to lay eggs at some point and I’m hoping that I am attentive enough to notice when she starts. Still enjoy info though on these loves!
I have lost a female panther to egg laying A thing I can advise is to make a deep lay bin because they really want to dig a long tunnel and turn around and lay their its straight forward but if you don’t get it right it’s horrible
It’s a little easier with cresties since they lay less eggs. You can actually feel them in her belly too if you are worried and want to check. As long as you lay a moist lay box, she should lay them just fine and not have an issue. They don’t have shorter lifespans from it like the chameleons do.
I have a female veiled named Cleo 💚 you can actually feed them in a way where they have smaller egg clutches to no eggs at all! Egg laying is stressful for all experience levels. But please trust that these animals have instincts and as long as you provide them with all they need and some privacy that all will be well. However!! Here are some warning signs I have learned about that should really help: Hanging out at the bottom of the cage for most of her day (this is aside from her exploring and digging in her laying bin) Pale in color Doesn't eat Doesn't use the bathroom Loses weight in a very short amount of time If any of these warning signs are showing up in your female call the emergency vet and get her in.
Hi!! So i have a female chameleon named Winnie. She's completely nothing like shy or angry when i try to get her out she just accepts it like yours. I think it doesn't always like matter if u have a male or female just make sure you treat them right from the beginning on.👍🏻❤️🦎
I only keep female chameleons. I provide live plants in their cage for egg laying. I have had one girl become egg bound and it was heartbreaking. 💔 My Tinkerbell is 3 years old and lays eggs every 4-6 months. It’s messy, but cool watching her do her thing.
Can't teach an old dog new tricks!? Well, this one at least learned something new today 😎 didn't know females also had veils. So, cheers for that love...
this helped me a lot in deciding which chameleon gender i want to get and I'm leaning towards getting a male :) I'm gonna get a chameleon in about a month and I've been doing so much research so they can be happy with me. i found your page while researching and I'm so happy i did because you're not only helping me but also my sister because she has bearded dragons
Loved seeing everyone's chams 💚One care difference between male and female chameleons is that females need to be kept at lower temps with a basking temperature no hotter than 80F. This will help reduce clutch sizes and stress on the female's bodies. Females should also be fed no more than 3-4 every 2-3 days to help reduce the number of eggs they lay. Hope this is helpful for anyone who has a female. I don't usually plug my own videos on other people's videos, but you did ask to share any info we have about female chameleons and I do have a video all about chameleon egg laying and how to set up a laying bin that keepers should find helpful: ua-cam.com/video/Dy6sIPvNGUw/v-deo.html as well as a video that goes into detail on sexing a baby veiled chameleon with pictures of tarsal spurs: ua-cam.com/video/nMsvzXQ4qnk/v-deo.html
question. would it be better to feed them inside their enclosure or in another place? out of curiosity haha because i have a ball python and i feed him outside his terrarium, so that he doesn't start thinking hes getting food every time he sees my hand and tries to stike my hand haha
I have a male and female i like them both but the male is more colorful and the female are more difficult because they have eggs even if you don't mate them with the male
Easiest way I could tell was the little ball on the male’s back feet.. I have 3 Veiled Chameleon’s and 1 Panther Chameleon.. And 2 full grown bearded dragons. And a few more reptiles. I have been blessed with all happy and healthy reptiles. All are grown but my 4 month old Veiled Chameleon. All my Reptiles are male’s. 😁
My female veiled chameleon Camille laid 72 eggs for her first clutch after mating with my male Coupe she laid them August 12th around April or May they should hatch have them in an incubator
Yea my females ended up being harder to handle and died unfortunately within the first year( typically due to their feistyness. Freak accidents and not due to anything I technically did) my male on the other hand is a jerk but he's been more chill then them and has a more laid back personality.
Not here to watch the vid but when to comment and let know to understand these creatures and learn everything u need to know and get u a male and female so u can breed them
Looks like you are doing pretty good for someone with no experience looks like u have some just read more and more and practice what u read to get more experience but to me otherwise looks like you are doing really good

I'm so glad you were able to do so many videos with Banba before he passed. Lots of love to both of you.

by watching you (Neptune) and Banba, I have learned a LOT about chams, thank you both
Ah it’s my fav chameleon drug lord 😂😂😂 am I stay doing that joke? Yes
Another big difference in care is that you need to watch out about having too hot of a basking spot for males because the veil will burn
question.
would it be better to feed them inside their enclosure or in another place?
out of curiosity haha
because i have a ball python and i feed him outside his terrarium, so that he doesn't start thinking hes getting food every time he sees my hand and tries to stike my hand haha

If it has a nub/ tarsal its a boy in the back leg like thumb in the back between the to toes
I have a question can you house a green tree python without a cage
Good video my amiga 👍👍👍🥰
Can you do a gutload video for the insects please? I love your videos
I will make a note of it. Thank you so much!
I'm getting a male or female veiled chameleon this week or sometime
My female veiled chameleon Camille laid 72 eggs for her first clutch after mating with my male Coupe she laid them August 12th around April or May they should hatch have them in an incubator
Yea my females ended up being harder to handle and died unfortunately within the first year( typically due to their feistyness. Freak accidents and not due to anything I technically did) my male on the other hand is a jerk but he's been more chill then them and has a more laid back personality.
What if u just one female not intending to breed
Not here to watch the vid but when to comment and let know to understand these creatures and learn everything u need to know and get u a male and female so u can breed them
Hi

Hi!
Also have a male Jackson chameleon and female. and a panther chameleon love my chameleons
Looks like you are doing pretty good for someone with no experience looks like u have some just read more and more and practice what u read to get more experience but to me otherwise looks like you are doing really good
1000th view and 101st like.
So sorry to hear about Banba. 🥺
I have a female veiled chameleon and I going pretty well with her
I didn't know i had a female veiled chameleon
Wait I think I have a female chameleon 😀
Rip Banba
Um what are talking about?
Love your tattoo’s also what’s the cage size for male chameleon
A 2x2x4 is the minimum
And thank you!!!! 💕💕💕
Males are actually more fiesty in my opinion and females can actually live 4-6 years
Youu so cute
I have always thought chameleons were easy lol but guess everyone different only thing I don't like is there nails hurt when they get big
