I never realized how comfortable my veiled chameleon is with my husband and I until my niece and nephew came over and I was trying to feed her while they were standing next to me and she would refuse to come down until I made them go away, it made me love her even more than I thought I could!
I guess I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online ?
@Stephen Marvin flixportal :D
@Joaquin Cody thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !
@Stephen Marvin Glad I could help =)
My chameleon is finally starting to like me 😂😂😂 I’m so excited
I just got a cham from a pet store it’s been about a week and a half and she’s already grown so much and has become so beautiful and gentle (I don’t support how cruel pet stores are/can be ) I just found your videos and I love them!
I love how he is laying his head on your hand at the end of the video. He's so cute 😍
I got lucky with Rango.. I bought him from PetCo when he was the size of a pinky finger. He has grown so fast. Rango has beautiful Super Bright Greens and Yellows and super sweet his Terrarium sets on my desk. So when I am on my gaming laptop he climbs down his vine and waits for me to open his door. Then I have vines that go out from his terrarium above my laptop and along the wall so he is always chilling and watching everything. One of the best lizards to have. I have Chameleons, bearded dragons and a red eye crocodile skink. I also have few different trapdoor spiders Well we love all your videos you share and enjoy seeing all your creatures.
We bought one at Petsmart in Oct 2020. We didn't handle him right away to give him time to adjust, but now he is just mean and moody. We decided to buy another one recently and held him the first day as my husband put his cage together. We decided to gently take him out every day to get use to us. The 2nd and 3rd day he got a little hissy, but after that he now crawls to me and hangs out on my shoulders. His name is Pascal and is the cutest! Google, the older one, is still mean and moody, but fascinating to watch. He has gotten big!
me: isnt even considering getting a veiled chameleon
also me: watches video anyway because of Banba
😘😘😘 Banba appreciates the love
Thanks! This solidified my decision to hold off for a bit, but I can't wait. They are so amazing.
Love your channel!! You have taught me a lot about veiled chameleons! I just took one in from a family member who wasn’t able to give him the proper care and I am realizing they’re a lot of work! I am doing my best to give him the proper husbandry but it is hard to learn everything! I am doing my best though, and I am getting him checked out by a vet early next week so I am doing everything I can!
It means the world that you are putting so much time, effort, and research into caring for your chameleon and giving him a good life. Keep up the great work. I’m glad I was able to help in some way 💕
I’m glad he recovered well. Love your pros and cons videos. Really helpful information. Thanks for taking the time to make these super educational videos. I could just watch a chameleon all day they are so beautiful 😍 cheers 🥃
Banba is gorgeous I am researching chameleons there so cool. I love your channel 😇
Thank you so much for your support 😘💕
I am so in love with chameleons!! They are just so amazing ✨
Bravo. This was really fun to watch and informative. Thank you
Hey there, Trish I really liked this video. It was very informative. Best regards, Ben. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! 💕
Hi nice to meet you... 😍😍New video, love it... Keep it up🔥🔥I'm your fans
Thank you so much for your support! 💕💕💕
My girl is so sassy when you go to pick her up till shes actually out of the cage then she calms down and doesnt want to go back in. She loves the window😂
My cham is soo sassy and grumpy. Taking her out of the enclosure is so stressful for her. But she is still curious about everything and loves food🦎💕
Very well done and lots of great information love your videos kiddo thanks
Love, love, love this video! A lot of these are also true for panther chameleons 💙
Would you get a veiled
@@moodymoody5811 Probably not. Maybe if it was a rescue.
Love your content super informative, I've always wanted a chameleon such fascinating and beautiful animals
My Eric lived 5 years ish,he used to wonder round the front room and climb the curtain.Keep em fed and spray regular with the correct heat and humidity.Vitamin injections yearly may help.
Ahhh I learn so much from your videos!
Thank you so much! That makes it all worth it! 💕
i love banba hes my favourite 🥺💚💚✨
Great video, I lost my Pascal recently, its nice seeing bamba be so playful. Just like pascy❤ keep it up✊
I’m sorry for your loss 💕
Good video. Lovely chameleon (and handler too ; ) Thanks for the tips!
I got my male and female at same time the male was in a bad place at petsmart they weren't housing him correctly and they had a water bowl for him. My female is so much bigger now and they were the same size when i got em. I just hope he hits a growth spurt soon.
I’m sure he will. Just keep up with the feedings. I’m glad they’re in a better place now!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video!
My husband has wanted one of these beauties for quite some time. I myself run a small business working with geckos, mostly tokays. I will have to do much more research on chameleons before branching out to the reptile my husband loves most.
With that being said...on to your next video...giggle
Bamba is so chill I love him! I hope my Cham starts to show similar behaviors at some point
It’s all about the hand feeding. I wish you both the best 💕
I recently held a veiled Chameleon for the first time
at my local aquatic centre.
I would love to own one
but as a sensible guy I know how
much money & care these beautiful creatures need on a daily basis.
It was good experience to have that moment.
One thing I can now cross off
my bucket list 👍
But Momma! I love your silky hair. 💕
He really is a charming little guy. I can imagine the pleasure you get setting up a beautiful enclosure for such a unique animal.
You videos are very helpful because I might get a Chamaeleon to 🙂
Lol my Cham is a jerk, but he’s cute so I can’t get mad.
bro it’s u again- smsmsm hi
same haha
ive always saw chameleon as something to compare to keeping a Discus.
Look awesome but they have specialized care where small mistake in their husbandry can be fatal and you are only supposed to handle them when needed. more of a lookie pet rather than a touchy pet just like fish
Just bought my first Veiled Cham today and this is very helpful information. Do you use a drip system or a spray bottle? How many times a day should you mist them?
My Panther Cham Newman has always been the sweetest thing on the entire planet. Never snaps at me and is always docile. He will literally come running out of the cage onto my arm. I try to keep handling to a minimum but he’s great.
what kind of chameleon do you have?
MC Ambilobe Panther Chameleon
I work at a pet store and our animals are our number 1 priority!
We love them and we refuse to sale them if the animal is uncomfortable
Love and respect this so much 💕💕💕
Just reaffirming that chameleons are not for me.
So I will just live vicariously through you and other chameleon owners online. lol.
My pascal acts like a velociraptor when handled but I love just laying in bed watching him roam around
I found a chameleon when I was on holiday in Cyprus, the chameleon looks fully grown and he was friendly, he didn't bite me or anything and didn't mind being handled.
I was going to take him back to England with me but I didn't know that much about chameleons at the time so I just let it free in the wild.
@@Jay-son. why the hell would u let it go wild
I'm working up to getting a veiled Chameleon and I'm defo prepared for the sas haha. I had a baby hognose as mu first snake and work with sassy animals all the times (tokays ext) and there so pretty
Banba really looks stressed out right now 😂😂😂😂😂NOT. ✌🏻❤🦎🦎🦎
My chameleon is evil. My daughter got him for me last year when she went to Repti-con. She paid only $20.00 for him. He was smaller than my pinky finger. He was so small I was worried I wasn't going to be able to keep him alive. Nearly a year later and he is big and strong. I feel bad about his attitude, but I knew there was a chance that he might not be friendly. My family and I just enjoy looking at him. He does snap and bite too so I try to avoid putting my hands around the area of the enclosure he is hanging out in.
Your chameleon is super handsome😁
My veiled Cham Is soo chill, he is just half a year old. Do you guys have some tipps on plants?
He's beautiful 😍
I got one hes verry social from the begin.
He want more out of his terrarium then he wants to be in it 🤣
I have a female and she has been showing her bright colors so I know she has some dud eggs in her how long does it take b4 she should lay them. YES i have a laying bin but this is my 1st time and I dont know how long this process takes b4 I start worrying. I mean she is barely eating and its been 5 days now and im getting worried
So I’m interested in getting two veiled chameleons I have all the stuff but I want to be extra safe and precautions and not have them die is there anything I should really do to keep them alive and healthy
Precioso Camaleón
Where do you recommend I purchase one? I know petsmart isnt a great choice
I have a question I am thinking ab getting a veiled chameleon and I plan on having them in my room which I normally leave my led lights on during the night on red would that be bad for them?
So is it a good sign that they shed loads. Mines a shed monster too
So I’m thinking of getting a chameleon but I have two cats that tend to walk around. The chameleon would be in my room but Idk if the cats would be too much stress? If anyone has any info they can share to help make an educated decision before I get one would be so much appreciated. I want to give these lil dinos love but I’m also worried the cats would be too much of a stressor
And is it cheaper to raise like dubia roaches and meal worms or to bay the bugs a chameleon needs
It would be cheaper to breed your own. But if not, buying them works too!
@@reptiliangarden thank you I was planning to breed cuz I Remy you saying chameleons like variety in food
I believe the "sassy" nature of many chameleons is probably caused by improper husbandry, and most of them would be quite chill if taken care of well. My old cham was even more comfortable with me than this guy. Often he would climb out onto my hand the moment I opened the enclosure, then run up to my shoulder and try to climb on my head, lol. I never tried to handle him forcefully, he always made it clear whether he's in the mood for socializing or not.
Chameleons wanting to leave the cage right when the door opens is a sign is stress and improper husbandry
I had one when i was 11 I think but I didnt know how to care for it correctly and there weren't many videos. So he died after 6 months
I don't know how to message you but I have a question I got a baby viled Chameleon And she keeps getting on her favorite branch and is straight up and is opening her mouth and it looks like she is taking a big deep breath or something and I was wanting to make sure that is normal. I have done a lot of research and all I can if is that maybe she is regulating her temperature. I'm sorry to bug but I don't know anyone that has a Viled Chameleon . thanks in advance
What kind of uvb light did you upgrade to?
WHITE TREE FROG QUESTION- can travel to my cottage 3 hours away with my frog? I am afraid of losing power and the frog would freeze! What should I do? PLS RESPOND
It should be safer to just have someone stop by and babysit your frog while you’re away.
My chameleon was doing the gaping mouth thing, I looked it up online to see what that meant and the internet had me freaking out, I took him to the vet to see if it may be a health issue but he is super healthy and is doing good but still don't know why he was doing the mouth gaping thing, he isn't doing it now but I still don't know what that could mean, his skin looks great, he's hydrated, and super healthy like I said, does anyone else know what it may mean, even the vet didn't know why he was doing it.
10:48 wtf I thought there was an earthquake in my house🤣
My veiled chamelion tries to run up my arm and hangout on my shoulder when I open his screen or feed him
I’ve always had an attraction to chameleons, but I’ve only had one reptile, and I don’t know how I can advance myself for a chameleon?
As far as I can tell, they are easy if you get the set up done first. It's worth it to spend the extra money on a nice enclosure. The only thing I'd say is making sure temp and humidity is good at all times
No wonder you are successful with your reptiles being so gentle with them! Chameleons is another example of anything but easy yet with you it seems like that. Their age probably is a con/pro at the same time I reckon. Since I've been having so much fun with my wasp friends lately 😎 do you need to be careful when outside or in general that he doesn't snatch something that's not good for him or no worries whatsoever? 😂Also, just imagine the lamps actually blew up like lil volcanoes every time they needed changing haha...
I totally should have put the lifespan as a con. Thank you for mentioning it! And luckily, he’s never tried to eat another strange bug outside before. And the lamps just turn off and won’t turn back on again. Lmao it’s way less dramatic 😂
@@reptiliangarden Lifespan is definatly a Con. After having them come and go for 15 years I just had to stop. It's just too depressing. I loved mine. I had a Joe and a Louie. Both were just like your Banba. Definatly a Mamas boy. Their cage was not closed. When he was ready for bed he would literally walk over to where I was sitting and curl up on my chest and go to sleep. The first time he did it I was hooked. I think we just have to understand their lifespan and decide if that choice is for you because they can definitely be a joy as well as heartbreak.
If I got a chameleon where do you recommend I don't what to get a reptile or pet shiped to me I would like some where close by at lest a hour away I don't trust. Pets smart I live in TN I rilly want one but I'm still thinking about of it's ethical for me to have one
Either look for reptile specialty stores, or reptile shows in your area! 💕
@@reptiliangarden YES buy from a reputable deal not a pet store !!!
Thank you
I paid $100 for my male chameleon (Pascal) from a breeder 💚
Pros they can be your best friend cons they can also be your worst enemy
Mine is mean but once out of his viv he’s gone from hating kisses to literally falls asleep in my hands when I start kissing him
@Master Chief 117 yess I just read about this
Not good
hey is thady? is he ok
He’s great! He’s with @jessicasanimalfriends now. You can keep up with him on her instagram and CZcams channel! She changed his name though. 💕
How old is Banba ? Do you ever plan on breeding him ?
He’s 4 years old. My boyfriend wants to breed him, but we don’t have the space 😅😂
@@reptiliangarden awe ❤️he's such a handsome fellow. Glad he recovered quickly
So basically they eventually get “lovey” or more likely to be open to being handled outside of the cage overtime? As long as you take good care of it. Also should we be letting the chameleons out of their cage for a certain amount of time or just leave them in there? Also how do you know if they want out? Thank you!
I got mine like 2 months ago & he got used to me because I would hand feed him or put his food on the branch he was laying on because he wouldn't eat from his cup.. never hissed at me used to karate chop not anymore & for when I pick him up I'll stand close to his cage if he starts reaching for it I put him back sometimes he climbs on me in the 2 months I've probably handled him like 4-5 times
I don't take him out his cage but I'm in cali so I take his whole cage outside & let him be outside.. he's more active when he's outside he uses all his branches goes in the sun then goes in his pothos to cool down eats more too, when he's inside he likes to chill mostly on his basking branch just looking around.. then when hes tired he goes to his pothos plants at night
@@BartBasquiato damn thanks for taking time to message back and helping out bro!
@@BartBasquiato where did you get yours from?
@@tenibrosity3425 Mark'schameleons he only breeds veiled chameleons & will guide you if you have any questions, I payed him like a month in advance but I didn't have my stuff ready so I told him to hold on in the shipping he waited till I was ready to send my chameleon.. he has juveniles and babies for sell, my friend just bought one from him cause he liked how mine looked. He even has pictures of the parents, I looked everywhere & he was the one that seemed trustworthy.
why is my Cham not shedding
so.....where is the Chameleon ?........(it`s a camo joke ) fun fact the dude from the dark den has a Chameleon the dude`s name is Petko so it`s always funny to me when people from the us say don`t get a pet from Petco
Jurassic Park^^
Great video! A lot of proper caring technique reviewed. I came across this, looking to know about how to care for them…I’m interested in getting a veiled chameleon! How do I go about getting one?
We had a highbred panther chameleon that cost us 500 bucks
how are chamelons themselves not expensive? there are $600-$1500 chameleons out there.
Do they eat live or dead insects
Jessalyn Sierra live. They need to see the movement to hunt!
Reptilian Garden ok thank you 😊
Yea mines not sassy at all
sassy = mean from my experience
it’s costing me 500 to just do my cage lol
Same lol
Fun fact: I’m getting a chameleon today!
why don;t you just video him in his cage we don't have to dee you handle him and he would be happier
