He's doing better and seems to be adjusting and is avting more himself and climbing safely everywhere. But he is refusing to eat more than 2 crickets a day, sometimes wont eat any crickets. I've gotten some bsfl and he'll eat as many of those as I'll allow... but I'm afraid to let him have too...

Your Chameleon - male, veiled, about i months. Ive had him 4 months. Handling - He comes out of his enclosure every other day. Feeding - about 9 to 10 large crickets every morning. Crickets have fresh orange slices, apples,spinach,banana,and orange cubes every day. Once in a while a sliced...

I have a male vailed, about 8 months old. We moved him to the xl size reptibreeze (24x24x48) two days ago and he's been acting different since. 1. He usually eats about 10 large crickets a day (theyre gut loaded and I lightly dust them), but since new enclosure hes been eating about half that...

I made a calendar that Im tracking how many and what/if I dust them with. Id probably forget too if I didnt write it down

I have a 6 month old male Veiled and I keep finding conflicting information about dusting crickets. I have calcium w/o D3 and a multivitamin with D3. Do I dust every cricket or only half of what he eats? Do I dust with both daily/weekly? On days I use the D3 do i still use the calc w/o D3...

Is there a way to make the shedding easier on him? It's definitely shedding because it's everywhere, happened really fast after I posted. He's running all over the enclosure rubbing himself, should i spray him directly or let him continue this way?

I have a 3 1/2 old veiled chameleon, this morning we noticed this white spot on his crest. Is this a weird start to a shedding or is he getting sick? It's on both sides of his head in about the same place. He's hunting crickets but has preferred to eat phoenix worms the last couple days. He's...

I'm looking to get some live plants for my veiled chameleon enclosure. I currently have some artificial leafy vines but I would like to add some live plants into the mix. I have seen multiple lists of "safe" plants for chameleons but nothing recent on WHERE it's recommended to get them from...

I have plans to change it out in a few months to a more custom "forever" one and also create a free range area for him once he's big enough. For now though I want to make him comfortable in what he has.

Ok thank you. I appreciate your input!

We brought home a new Veiled cham last night, he's about 3 to 4 months old. Yesterday he was bright green and looking happy but since I woke him up this morning he's been between a dark green to brown color all day. He moves around and chases crickets, though I'm not sure if he's eaten any...

Thank you for the insight. It's much appreciated! I will be getting a timer for the day lights, but right now I do it manually, I just wasnt sure when or if I'd need a heat source for night.

Recently moved to middle Minnesota, this will be my first winter here. Im concerned about my new veiled, Zhuri, getting too cold at night when the temperature drops. I have the day heat bulb and uvb bulb, id read that its not usually necessary for a heat lamp at night. I try to keep the house...
