So I posted about this before and I tried the shed aid stuff but just misting him with it and it didn't seem to help.. There is still left over shed and I'm not sure what to do... kind of starting to worry about his over all health. He still eats but doesn't have a huge appetite. He has been a...

I'm glad we had this talk... learning something new all the time about this stuff. Thank you.

How often should they be replaced? I've had mine for about 7 months.

Okay that's an interesting fact. Do you know if the UVB bulb wear out or just burn up for replacement?

The only thing I changed a couple months ago was the Zoo Med Blue Daylight bulb to just a heating coil because it kept burning out every month or so. I still have the UVB bulb. Would that matter?

Okay I'll have to give that a shot then.

Almost a month... I thought it would come off with the next shed but it is still there... he is a picky eater and binge eats one type of bug for weeks then goes on strike and it's a guessing game as to what he wants after that.

There are small traces of dried skin stuck after a shed and I do lots of misting but it doesn't seem to get it all off. Would it be a bad idea to get a soft toothbrush to scrub his side a bit?

Yeah he is a veiled. Thanks for the input... it's ridiculous! Only one type of bug interests him for weeks then goes on strike.

My chameleon is about 8 months old... the last few months he binge eats specific bugs for a couple weeks then won't touch them anymore. It's a guessing game every few weeks. Now all he is interested in is leafy greens. Should I just keep giving him that? Any body else have a similar picky...

I guess I better order more Hornworms because I'm running low... If that is all he is going to eat for now... stinker.

I have a male Veiled chameleon and he is about 6 months old. Up until about a month ago he would lay waste to any food that I put in the cage. It didn't matter what it was or how much I put in there; it was gone. d Now he is very picky and doesn't seem to be interested in the food I put in the...

That's very interesting! I will have to do some experimenting. Thanks for the tips! I love the almost instant feedback from this forum.

Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better. I think you're right... I just feel responsible for his happiness and I just want to make sure he is a happy guy!
