Hi everyone!
I’m new to the forum, and want to make sure I’m checking all the boxes for our girl Kiri.
She’s a veiled chameleon, I think she’s a juvenile but am unsure of her exact age.
I’m all ears for any advice or improvements!

- Terrarium size: 2’x2’x4’
- Lighting: 5.0 T5 HO UVB 22” & 60W basking bulb. Her basking area stays around 80 degrees and her lights are on a timer for 7am-7pm.
- Humidity: daytime-70-75%, nightime-around 90%. We fog and mist 30 mins before lights on and 30 mins after lights out, for about 2 mins.
- Plants: all real; a few pothos, money tree, ivy, monstera, and bird of paradise.
- Feeding: ~4-6 gut loaded crickets 2x a day, dusted with repti-calcium without D3, and repashy LoD (2x a month). We tried hornworms but she didn’t seem to have an interest for them yet.
- Nesting box: it’s place towards the back of the enclosure with a branch leading to it, play sand about 6” deep, and the box is about 12-14” long and 8-9” wide. Not sure when she’ll start using it but she has been climbing down towards it more recently.
I’m all ears for any advice or improvements!
I hope you have a great time with your cham. Welcome to the forum! If you need any help just holler.
My young female veiled refused hornworms the first couple of times I offered them too. She actually turned her nose up to them lol. I tried them again about a month later and she ate them right up - so definitely keep offering. 
. So I try not to stress her out too much when she is trying to avoid me.
