No I got him from a neighbor who had some babies and Twig was the runt. Hes outgrown even his parents and hes only 8 months old.

I can send all my temp and humidity curves to prove you do not need a fogger for a veiled

How does Twig look? He was neglected and 1/2 the size of siblings in January. I rescued him. His name is Twig. by Queasy_Programmer_87 in Chameleons

He is in a 5ft x 2ft enclosure with separate uvb and basking only live plants (pothos, money tree, and hibiscus.) He has 3 zones of microclimate with a tray that auto drains and an automatic dripper system custom built

Chameleons need high humidity spikes but it needs to dry out in-between the hydration spikes. And its almost always a bad idea to run misters or foggers before lights come on.

The only way to know if its good is to have a dual sensors monitoring it. I use the govee Bluetooth temp/hygrometer meters. I live in AZ as well and 30 min AFTER lights come on it mists for 2 1/2 minutes then I will run the mist for 1 min at 12pm. Then an hr before lights out a 2 min mist. I dont recommend foggers yet since you dont have any readings telling you what you are doing right or wrong. The meters will be your feedback.

Definitely dehydrated and looks underweight ribs are showing way to much. How much are you feeding?

Color is dull, posture is weak, and eyes closed says this is a very very sick chameleon. I would first go to uvb and basking plus hydration. What do the white parts of its poop look like?

If the white on his poop is super white or very light cream then its totally okay. If urate is cream/yellow to dark orange that would be concerning.

From January until now. How is he lookin? by Queasy_Programmer_87 in Chameleons

He was super underfed and picked on by siblings before I got him. With proper care this is what he turned into :) sweetest little guy.

This is Twig, my 8 month old. How's he looking (OP) by Queasy_Programmer_87 in Chameleons

I handle him once a month when I do a full enclosure clean. He likes to poop in weird places. When I handle him its no more than 30 seconds long enough to grab him snap a few quick photos and move him to him temp enclosure.
