So I saw a couple really huge male veileds at repticon here in Atlanta last month and my male, who is 1.5 now, is really small in comparison. He weighs in at 155 grams, but he's way too squirrelly for me to try to get a length. Do I have a naturally small chameleon? Could I have stunted his...
So I use a mist king pump system to spray my cages but it seems like the chameleons really dislike being sprayed by the cold water, they move away from the spray ASAP. If I put warm water in a spray bottle and spray them by hand they will sit still to be sprayed. So I started to think maybe I...
Hi folks, I'm moving across the country at the end of June, literally California to Georgia. I have a couple of options for my chameleon. I can leave him with my father until I get to Georgia and then have my father mail him to me, or I can bring him with me in the car. I am more inclined to try...
my male veiled has perching sticks of varying diameters in his cage but he seems to prefer the ones that are the smallest. it looks to me like it would be pretty uncomfortable standing on a thin stick all the time so i'm considering replacing them with thicker ones, am i just being paranoid or...
i've had the worst time raising feeder insects in the past (crickets and superworms) but for the last month or so I've been working on hornworms and this morning my first batch of eggs from my first batch of moths finally hatched, i'm so excited!
i basically followed the instructions provided...
Here is a picture of Creature after he escaped under the desk and I had to coerce him off his perch on some cords. It's the best picture i've gotten of him to date and marks the only instance when i've been able to get him onto my hand without being bitten or having him try to bail completely...

The dubia roaches I purchased came in a container with dog food and potatoes, based on what I've read here in various posts, perhaps this is the reason my chameleon (and my leopard gecko) have refused to eat them?
If anyone who successfully feeds dubias could tell me what they've been using...
Hi to everyone,
I'm a new-ish member, been reading posts on these forums for a few months but only joined up in September after purchasing my first chameleon, Creature, at a reptile show.
He's a male veiled, about 6 months old, and by far the most cantankerous animal I've ever had the...
in order to give him more variety, i recently purchased dubia roaches for my ~6 month old veiled chameleon. previously, he was getting crickets and superworms and i have also tried offering waxworms but he doesn't seem interested in those. i have tried dubias of all sizes, alone and mixed with...
