Gotcha, but it’s hard because it seems he won’t eat enough crickets. I fed him one today with lightly dusted calcium and he wouldn’t eat the rest.. at least I don’t think. Since the new cage (24x24x48) it’s hard to see he’s eating them all. I’m trying cup feeding right now to keep track because...

Absolutely! Is cantaloupe okay for gutloading and to feed Mclovin? Nope. He is fully recovered.

Hello! For anyone still wanting a last update, Mclovin back home and fine. He just had low calcium deficiency.

They haven’t told me anything sadly. They only said she needs treatment for 12 days. I’m going to call them tomorrow or go in and see if they’ll tell me anything more specific.

Hello! If anyone still wanting an update about Mclovin.. she just got back from the vet. Pet smart said SHE is going to be in their care for 12 days to treat her. I’m deeply guilty, sad, and missing my chameleon but I’m thankful your guys advice.

Thank you so much! Your advice is extremely helpful! I’m grateful for your time and responses.

Thanks for the advice! I will switch the light quickly. When I started to give him powered calcium, I would shake them in a bag with it. They would turn fully white, is that too much? Also, I feed the crickets just apples, is that fine?

Will do! I live in Arizona. Will it be to hot for a chameleon, and if not, how long can they stay outside?

It must be the picture. When I last saw him he had his toenails.

Your Chameleon - Veiled chameleon, male most likely, unsure what age is possibly 4-6 months juvenile, it been in my care for a little over a month. Handling - Sometimes twice a day for 30 minutes each. I let him chill in a fake tree in a different room. Feeding - I feed him twice a day with...

I will get you the pics as soon as I get him or she back from the Petsmart vet. Hopefully Mclovin will be better so I won’t have to force feed because your right it is dangerous. I was only able to force feed him mealworms and veggies/fruit. For supplements, I’m not really sure for which one I...

Thanks for the advice! I will certainly do that when I get he/she back. If I forget to ask or the vet doesn’t tell me the gender, I will send a pic as soon as possible.

Right now, I’m going to take him or she back to Petsmart and they said they’ll see what’s wrong. If they won’t do anything, I’ll respond back as soon as I can. Thank you guys for the responses and I’ll keep you updated.

Yes. Is he a her? I thought Mclovin was a he the whole time because of the little spur on the back of the feet. I used to leave the red light on at night and the other one for daytime. He slept fine with the redlight at night. I stopped using the redlight two days ago and just use the other one...

I had my Chameleon for a little over a month I believe. I was just going for any type of lizard, but ended up getting Mclovin. I got him at pet smart and they didn’t really tell us much about how to care for him only about his habitat. I was ignorant and selfish believing that all I had to do...
