I kinda feel you on this, as Chameleonaire has gotten older, he doesn't seem as interested crawling on me while working in his enclosure as he used to. I can still encourage him to crawl onto me with the temptation of food though, I like to use his treat bugs as an opportunity to bond a little...

Thank you! I’m out of town today and will be able to get some hornworms at a pet store, he’ll be happy to see them.

Long time no see everyone! Some of you might remember me being super worried a few weeks back about Chameleonaire not pooping for a while. Well I decided to do a little look around when I got home tonight and behold! This thing was cooking for a while in there I was about to drive him to a vet 3...

It’s also winter and his ambient temperatures have changed a lot since it got cooler here, I ordered some higher waat heating bulbs to try out as well

Right around 85ish, comfortable enough for my had to sit under it and not be too warm for the touch.

Zero substrate and strictly live plants in the enclosure. I’ve been feeding a mix of dubia roaches, bsfl, super worms and in the last week I got some hornworms for him. The last poo he had was mostly white with the very end of the urste was a tiny bit orange, and the poo itself was really hard...

It’s been about another week and I still have not been able to see another poo. I’m going to take the plants out tomorrow to make sure but usually there would be one or two visible somewhere in the enclosure. I’ve fed him hornworms three times in the last week hoping the hydration would help him...

i 100% feel you on spending money for feeders that might arrive dead, i live in Oregon and the winter has definitely affected shipping times and bug health.

I haven’t used a silk plant in my enclosure yet, I have two pothos plants, a spider plant, a prayer plant, and a monstera that sits on the bottom. You’ll definitely want a nice led plant light as wide as your enclosure if you dont have one. I have an Arcadia jungle dawn LED and my plants seem to...

I personally try to keep it strictly live plants in my enclosure because veiled chameleons tend to eat their plants more and I don’t want him to get hurt.

I ended up finding branches outside that are safe for chameleons. There was an oak tree in my grandmas backyard that I was able to get most of mine from.

It took me like 6 months before my chameleon would even try to eat dubia roaches, I ended up having to trick him by holding a superworm up to him and doing the switcharoo when he tried to shoot his tongue out at it lol. After doing that twice he ended up realizing that they arent that bad.

I was able to get ahold of some hornworms for Christmas and fed him the biggest one he has ever seen, made me feel happy for him lol he gets so excited.

My dude is pretty shy, he doesn't try to hiss or bite me ever he usually just tries to go hide somewhere if he is upset. I also have noticed that anytime I wear red, he must think I'm going to eat him or something because he shrinks himself up and hides behind whatever branch he is on to break...

Like a stick bug?? Not too sure about them but I know that crickets and some other feeders left in the enclosure could end up biting your chameleon at night. I remember getting advice about having a dedicated feeding area/bug runner so they're contained and don't get loose in the enclosure. Some...
