just use a net to catch them, and have something handy to put them in. Also, try breeding them rather than feeding off the ones you catch, there's always the possibility of pesticide contact or parasites, they're fairly easy to breed, there has been a few threads about it, just use the search...

If you use the search option, you'll find this topic has been discussed more times than I'd like to remember : P Here's one of the most informative threads about the subject chameleonforums.com/everyone-who-knows-you-cant-keep-chameleons-glass-31937/

I work at a retail pet store, and one of my biggest pet-peeves (no pun intended) is when someone decides it's a good idea to purchase a pet as a gift for someone. In most cases, I think it's the worst fathomable idea someone could come up with, but there are a few exceptions, like an addition...

A picture would really be necessary for any type of accurate assumption as to what it is.

Most chameleons do not TOLERATE handling let alone enjoy it. It would be rare to find a chameleon that tolerates or seeks to be handled. If you want a chameleon for the sole purpose of handling it, I'd look into another species of reptile. OR Purchase an adult chameleon who has a calm...

They're fattier than most staples (crickets, and dubias), I wouldn't do it every day. Plus if they are large enough to eat supers, they are more than likely adults, in which case, they shouldn't be getting fed everyday.

I used to post some what frequently, now I go to school full time and work. I also have noticed some of the older more frequent members missing in action.

I hate doing this, but I'll moving soon for school and I won't be able to bring my reptiles with me, it breaks my heart, but I know someone on here will be knowledgeable enough to make me feel less guilty about selling my pals : ( I have a 1 and half year old Male Veiled chameleon for sale...

I only raised 500 at a time but I didn't have too many die, my temps were def at 80 and above, but it would drop at night, I also pierced their containers with lots of little holes for the poop to fall through so I didn't have to handle them much, and when I did I used gloves, I also fed them...

That's definitly a male, he should have little spurs that stick on the back of his feet as well.

Seek some of those into Canada for me please???? I hate our roach laws :(

If your Veiled is a solid green with no stripes at that age, you probably have a female, but post some pics for a better evaluation.

Yeah my Veiled has a strange angle to his cask, but no MBD, the easiest way to identify it is the jaw and limbs, If the lower jaw extrudes past the top jaw that is more than likely MBD, kind of like an overbite also the limbs should look like they have a 90 degree angel |_ <-- like...

Like Pssh said, if you add some water to your dish of water gel it keeps them hydrated for a pretty considerable amount of time, even if you just add some water once a day they tend to last a while.
