Yesterday morning I received a one month old (10-17 DOH) male panther baby from the Chameleon company. It's no more than 2 1/2 inches TL. I've had experience raising a couple veiled clutches (this is my first panther) but now I'm questioning having had a neonate shipped so young. He currently...
Which is better and why?
Would like to get silkworms, but I'm a bit put off by their unhardy nature. Mulberryfarms is out of live silkies, too. I'm not sure how hard hatching eggs would be.
Hornworms grow faster, and appear easier to breed as long as you have tomatoe plants. They're...
Just wondering if white urates with an orange tip is normal. Maybe 1/8th of his usual urate is orange - the rest is bone white. I've only had this 2-3 month old veiled for about a week and have yet to see him drink. He has a dripper on for most of the day and I mist him 4-6 times. He eats...
Is it normal for a 2-3 month old cham to be a constant brown when basking? He's green when not under the light. He also basks most of the day.
Basking temp is 86.
Ambient is 74-80.
Just got my little veiled male today! :)
After an hour of putting him in, I realized he was already eating. Apparently one of the vines from outside housed a colony of ants! The little guy sat right in front of the hole in the vine where the ants were coming out, and popped them one by one as...
Got the plant light in today and threw everything together. I think it came out nice. Hopefully I can order my veiled in the next week or two. It's going to be young (3+ months) but AFAIK as long as they can eat and drink, they should be fine in a cage of this size. Any input, guys?
EDIT...

A look into one of my composters. Easily 15,000+ worms in this 5 gallon bucket

A friend of mine has lobster roaches which she uses to feed her bearded dragons. As far as I know from her, they breed like crazy, are hardy, and are easily contained with some vaseline.
I'm thinking of getting some to add a little variety for my future veiled's diet, but do chams usually...
I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but wouldn't dragonflies make GREAT treats? They're extremely common around me so I barely notice them. I have a small pond in my backyard and there's always 3-4 dragonflies patrolling their territories, and the same ones stick around for weeks. So...
The average humidity in my house is usally around 65%-75%, in my room on any given summer day it's usually 75%-80%. Will this eliminate the constant need for misting other than for hydration?
So far I have just about everything I need for my upcoming veiled, however I'm still a little concerned about my variety of food. ATM, I only have constant access to crickets, mealworms, and superworms. I don't believe I'll be able to start up a roach colony for several months, and until my...

Bought it to repot some ficus, schefflera, and pothos. It says it's made from peat moss, assorted barks, and pastuerized poultry litter. Safe? I plan...
I'm ordering some lights from lllreptile; the 24" fixture says it fits an 18" bulb, but they sell both 24" and 18" bulbs. When a bulb is referred to as 24", does this mean the bulb is 24 inches long, or that it will fit a 24" fixture? Thanks.
I hate crickets. It doesn't mean I won't use them, but for the past 5 years I could no longer stand using them as staples. So, would green banana roaches (Panchlora nivea) work as a good staple for a veiled chameleon? I plan to work in crickets, silkworms, mealworms, waxworms, and maybe soldier...
I'm in the process of ordering a 24x24x48 aluminum screen cage from lllreptile, but don't quite have enough money for a smaller cage. So I was wondering, if a young 3 inch -/+ veiled will do fine in a cage of this size. It seems most people reccomend a small cage so the veiled can hunt it's food...
