It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like bite marks to me. Poor little Hornworm some other worm took it really hard on him and then he got discarded at the end. But sure, it is better to be safe than sorry. Once Hornworms reach size of 1-1/2" it is recommended to keep no more than...

If you only give him crickets and mealworms he might be going on hunger strike. Chameleons get bored with food pretty easily. Ideally you should ofer him 5 different feeders. Silkworms, Hornworms, Butterworms are really nutritious, bright in color, so it will get his attention. These worms are...

When I saw in Petco 2 month old veild chameleon living in the 2" water swamp at the bottom of the cage with all dead worms in the bowl, I thought my heart will break. I felt so bad for little guy. I wanted to take him home right there and then. I got so mad and insisted to speak to the manager...

Exactly, it seems like talking to the walls! I have seen in Santa Monica PetSmart 2 month old veiled chameleon living in the swamp (2" water at the bottom of the cage) and all worms dead in the bowl :mad:

Hornworms aren't too friendly towards each other and bite, so that will leave black mark. It depends how big is discoloration. If you can post a picture that will help.

If you are trying to breed them, feed them with chow. They may not go through the whole life cycle if you will feed them greens or vegies and may slowly die out. If you will feed them mulberry leaves they may turn from teal to green.

I have 1 cup left with 25-30 Teal Hornworms for local pickup or I can ship if someone is interested in larger size. Size 1-1/2", some smaller. (Note: if shipped, will arrive approximately in size 2" size). Send me PM if anyone interested.

She is being kept daytime at 80-85 degrees temperature, basking spot at 90-95 degrees. I feed her about 6 insects a day (4 medium crickets and 2 worms), some days less, like 4 or 2. Her prey: crickets, silkworms, hornworms, butterworms, superworms, green banana roaches, orange isopods, blue...

I'm all out at the moment. Thank you everyone for help and everyone who was interested!!! I will post when I'll have more:):):)

Try to creat a natural nature environmet with live plants, dripping water, so your cham would feel like he is outside even thoug he is indoors. Make sure you have screen mesh terrarium instead of glass, so no reflection, easy ventilation and air flow. Sun is very important, it helps absorb...

Try to give your chameleon some food first and then slowly put your hand next to him. Chameleons don't like any sudden movements it may scare them. See if it changes anything.

In the picture eggs look dark brown. Stage called diapause, so put them in the fridge for at least two weeks.

Person that lives in Oklahoma City, OK who ordered Hornworms please PM me.

All my Hornworms hatched and did leave a cocoon behind.

I ended up with to many Hornworms. Anyone interested PM me. I will offer the best deal and will ship. You won't regret :):):)
