Looking to Rehome My 7–8 Month Old Veiled Chameleon + Complete Setup (SoCal)

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 🦎💚
I’m currently looking to find a loving and responsible new home for my male veiled chameleon, who is approximately 7–8 months old!
Unfortunately, I’ve recently moved into a new place that doesn’t allow pets of any kind, so I’ve had to make the difficult decision to rehome him.
He’s a very friendly little guy, and I’ve really enjoyed having him! I’m hoping to find someone who has experience with reptiles or is knowledgeable about the specific care that chameleons require.
Everything I currently have for him will be included!
Glass enclosure with front-opening doors and a mesh top
Water fountain
Decorations and accessories inside the enclosure
Remaining food and supplies
Everything else I currently use for his care
The enclosure alone originally cost me approximately $190–$200, and I’ve invested quite a bit into his entire setup.
Asking $350 OBO for everything. I’m open to reasonable offers, especially if it means finding him a wonderful home!
I’m located in the Los Angeles County area of Southern California and would prefer local pickup.
I’m not getting rid of him because of any behavioral issues. Unfortunately, my new living situation simply doesn’t allow me to keep him.
If you’re interested or have any questions, please feel free to message me! I’d also be happy to provide additional pictures of him and his setup.
Thank you! 💚🦎

This is my brand new 1.5 year old parson’s chameleon. His name is Cobalt. He is currently in a 3x2x4 for quarantine, while his 6x3x5 vivarium grows in. He will be having a varied diet of dubias, BSFL, crickets, and an occasional treat of silkworms and hornworms. All will be gut loaded. I have 2 monsoon multi misters set up to spray for 20 seconds and 3 times a day. If you have other advice, please tell me. Also, sorry the pic is blurry. I took it from 30 feet as I was leaving

Feeding a Panther Chameleon

Do these guys need to be hand-fed every time, or can you just release the bugs into the cage and let them figure it out? I put a mealworm near him and it wriggled around — he snatched it right up. But when I put five roaches in a little tray nearby, he ignored them all day.

Hey, I’m gonna attach some photos, but I have never had an enclosure this big as he is my first chameleon. (I’m gonna get him a new hibiscus tree) I could really use some help decorating it and lighting it. His old habitat all of these plants completely filled up to the top. So he had plenty of cover and clutter. However, in the photos that I’m showing now obviously he does not. Any help? (I haven’t even moved over his current lighting situation or mister. These photos were just immediate takes.

Question What are people talking about when they say not to use branches from "sap producing trees" in a chameleon enclosure?

1 Upvotes

I am currently making a nice enclosure for my veiled chameleon, but I am getting stuck on what branches to put into said enclosure. Something I have noticed pop up in almost every video and care guide for proper chameleon enclosure set up, is to not use "sap producing trees" inside, as it can irritate their feet. I am confused by that as every tree produces a sticky white sap when cut... Are they just referring to trees that produce harvestable sap (like maple?) or do they mean to only use dead/ dried branches?

Question Question for Panther Chameleon Keepers in Florida

1 Upvotes

Earlier this year, I built a large outdoor bioactive enclosure for my male Panther Chameleon. I live in Central Florida, and I’m wondering what nighttime temperatures you bring your panthers inside at, especially during cold snaps. His enclosure is too large to easily move indoors.
I also have a Jackson’s Chameleon in an indoor bioactive enclosure that drops to around 65°F at night. Would it be okay to temporarily swap them between enclosures for a few cold nights?
My other option is to bring my panther inside in an unused 24x24x36 butterfly enclosure with some branches, but it wouldn’t have a fogger.
Once daytime temperatures get too cold, I plan to have someone help me move his large enclosure indoors. I’m just trying to figure out the safest option for the occasional cold night until then.
What would you guys recommend?
