My Cham is about that same size and age...
I'm curious, as I feed mine maybe 4-6 good sized crickets every other day, with a snack ocassionally of 1 or 2 in between.
I use MinerAll dusting once a week.
Am i not feeding mine enough? It seems like if I put 20 crickets in there, that she would...
Man, that's fine. I'd suggest not asking for advice since obviously have it figured out.
IMO, you felt insecure that your ability to take care of your pets was somehow in question, and this blocks any ability for you to heed any advice here. When ego gets in the way, it makes it impossible to...
I think the problem here is ego. Nothing personal against the OP, because I have felt it too... If you get a criticism or even suggestive help, you take it personally because your ego is bruised. You probably think you are treating your little friend like a king by giving him pinky mice. The...
lol. Well if that really was an effort to trick people here, I think my 8 year old son could probably get hired as a graphic designer :)
That's why I think it is a joke. It's got to be.
Those are actually some pretty well lit shots.
I think the 550 EX is a decent flash too. I was just suggesting something other than the on camera flash, as you cannot really bounce that... It is always going to be a straightforward flash, which is terrible for subjects close to the camera...
I am a professional Photographer and use Canon exclusively. The 50D is a great camera for sure. The only issue I have with it is the flash. I would suggest getting a 580EXII or 580 EX flash for it. You will notice a lot of your photos will be "blown out" in the highlight areas with the on camera...
@Jessica...
My wife wants to name her Karma, but I'm thinking that's a little cheesy and probably what everyone thinks about naming their Chameleons lol.
I'm not sure what we are going to name her yet, but when we do, I'll let you know :)
Also, I am a professional photographer, so I...
hehe, yeah.
I'm surprised she looks as healthy as she does, but they only had her for a few days. Like I said, i had a bearded for 8 years, and although i know they are totally different as far as care goes, I have an eye for telling if she were healthy or not.
She doesn't seem to have...
Ok Hallenhe.
I am somewhat handy, and think I may build a reptarium, but I've already seen some links to pretty affordable nice Chameleon enclosures online, so I'm not sure.

I will also verify tonight that i have the good lights. I can still return them if they aren't and get the right kind.
I will do this the right way, as I have nothing but respect for animals and would never put her into a situation that would be abusive.
In a way, I feel i may have rescued...
ok OOSt.
I will get her into a more well ventilated cage this evening.
Her eyes look great. she is very bright and active. There are no dark circles and she is a very lively little lizard (for a chameleon anyway).
I will either get a mesh cgae from the pet store tonight or order one...
Oh and I am in Columbus, OH.
Please don't think I am just some Jackass that walked into a pet store and bought her. It was somewhat impulsive, yes, but I got the lighting, some vines, a plant etc. I have also already spent hours researching them.
I had a bad set up the first day (wood...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Female Veiled
Handling - Well, once or twice a day, but that will taper down, as I know they do not like to be handled, as it stresses them.
Feeding - I am feeding her live crickets that are fed on potatoes and carrots. They are then dusted with Miner-All powder...
