Shes at my mums and shes at work all day so she not looked at that much - however I think my mum is worrying so much that perhaps shes disturbing her too much. Will try drapping towel over her? The only thing is how will I know shes laid if we dont keep checking her? What do you guys usually do? x

Hi, I have a gravid veiled and shes been a nightmare to feed during her pregnancy - hardly eats anything and I therefore struggle to get enough Calcium into her. Now shes stopped eating completely so I thought she would lay. Shes been doing a bit of digging, but its been about a week since shes...

Hi, is it normal for a female veiled to go off her food while gravid?? Finding it hard to get the calcium into her, shes not interested in locusts or crickets, but will have the odd mealie and wax worm? Not great. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi I put my female veiled to the male yesterday (they have mated before), and she accepted him and they mated. I left them for a bit went back and checked on them and the male had the female pinned to the floor of the flexarium, and the female was showing, what I thought, were her gravid...

I have a year old male veiled, in a 100 gallon flexarium, basking spot of 90f, 10.0 reptisun UV, a secondary basking spot, he's misted twice a day, all his feeders are gut loaded and dusted, regular d3 (every 2 weeks), he has loads of branches/vines/fake and real plants, defeacating normally...

Ive fed my mine a pinky before - the male (veiled) wasnt so sure but took it and the female nearly fell off her branch trying to get it! I will only do it once every 3/4 months though. Apparently some (bad) breeders do it to make them grow quicker? Dont know if that true. They might get a bit...

i wish mine were the colour of yours!!! mine are just brown/grey all the time! dont know what im doing wrong? x

The book i read that in was jacksons and veiled chameleons by r.d and patricia Bartlett. Strange because Ive never heard that!! Any tips on why my cham might be grey/brown?? x

Unfortunately i have seen him green, when i purchased him he was enlosed in a small viv with a female - i bought the pair, split them up and hes been dark ever since! Perhaps I broke his heart lol!! Not sure what to do next? Dont whether to mess around with temps a bit - a few degrees hotter...

Thanks guys - so he wont be green all the time necessarily? I thought the colours he is showing is becaused he is stressed. Its good to know that he can be dull but healthy. I will up his calcium and crickets - how about locusts? Are they poisonous? And should I see him drink or assume hes...

The previous owner seems to think hes is about 8 months - he is definatley an 08. He moves around the enclosure alot, and feeds ok. However I have been feeding him locust and have just read that they are toxic to chams - is this correct?? x

Hi, my veiled is about 8 months old, ive only had him for 2 weeks. In this time he has been split up from the female and put in a new enclosure. I dont know if im doing something wrong with the enclosure or if he is just stressed from the move but since Ive had him hes never been green...

Help! What temps for a male veiled, 08? Hes been grey/brown stressed colours sinced iv had him - couple of weeks. Dont know if my temps are right 70-80F ambient 80-92F basking It may just be the stress of the move? Help!!!

Hi, just wondered what substrate u keep your chams on if any? I know the ones to stay clear of but wondered if there were any that are safe or that youve have had no probs with? How about peat?? Or do you guys no use any? Thanks x

thanks, to some of u, never kept chameleons so want to know the signs of them not thriving. obviously the dick who posted the last comment would rather i let them die than ask for advice! x
