I bought my veiled chameleon from Petland and they didn't gutload the crickets, dust them, or have a UVB light on them. He died from metabolic bone disease, which he got because they didn't take care of them and I'm new to chameleon care, so I thought they were doing it right. Pet stores...

Found out he was sick before we even got him. He had metabolic bone disease and we had to put him down today...

I found some of his feces this morning and most of its white. I can't tell if he's eaten any crickets though, he hasn't moved much from his sleeping spot since last night and I saw a cricket in the cage. Last night he was sleeping and he turns really pale when he sleeps so I took another picture...

Oh my gosh I'm going to kill the pet store that sold him to me! I asked all these questions but they said most of it wasn't necessary. They also said to gut-bust the crickets by giving them potatoes. I'm probably doing everything wrong right now. Guh. I'll see if I can get the vitamins and...

Chameleon Info: Gender - Male Breed - Veiled Chameleon Age - Was told he was about a year old. I've had him for about two months now. Handling - I haven't held him since the first day I got him, he turns black and hisses whenever I put my hand in his cage. Feeding - I feed him 6-7 crickets...

My male veiled chameleon is about a year old (or at least that's what the pet store told us) and he's always been kept outside and been fine. We recently moved though, and we found out that we can't keep him outside anymore because there's too many bugs that get into his cage, and he started...
