Baby Veiled Chameleon cage

This is the cage I built for my baby veiled chameleon.

She's about 3 months old in this video. Her name is Jasmine :)

A walk through for a larger version of this cage can be found here: I cannot do a video because the cage is already put together, but there is a walk-through of my larger version of this cage here: http://www.chameleonforums.com/cage-plans-2x2x5ft-wooden-cage-33813 Enjoy :)

The eggs start forming as soon as 3 months when they become more aggressive and dart off!!

@ShannyCleaner Eggs can form as early as 5-6 months. There is less of a chance of eggs if you keep the female's temperatures down, feed every other day, and don't let her see any other chameleons.

Whe she's looking fuller than that she is gravid. Put her in a laying bin with humid dirt (you choose) and repta lite in a corner!!

@ShannyCleaner She was moved into a 2ftx2ftx4ft cage with a laying bin when she was 6 months old. I use a mix of coco fiber and washed playsand. She laid 3 clutches of eggs and died last year. This video is from 2009.

I have a male veiled chameleon (a year old now) and hes in a 2x2x4' aluminium screen cage, the ambient room temperature is about 19 degrees celsius. I am using an 100 watt bulb at the top of the cage with a UVB obviously and the basking spot temperature is only reaching 33 degrees celsius when he isnt in the way of it.

but i don't know what kind of wattage bulb i should use to increase the ambient temperature and basking spot people keep saying not to use a 150 watt? should i?

[fayeilusiana]

@matt4ambz Your basking spot is fine but what is the temperature in the rest of the cage? It's probably warmer than room temperature. Are you using a digital thermometer with a probe to measure your temps? How high above your cage is the basking bulb?

and you should not feed her that much. you should be feeding her that many crickets about every 3 days

It would be better if the temperature is in between 85 and 95.
