I moved her back to her enclosure after about 4 hrs and them coupling several times. However, she did not change to a dark color as I have read that she should do when inseminated. Am I going to need to put them back together? Or could he possibly be sterile? I've never mated these to yet. She's...

Well, they've connected twice now. They're sitting side by side, it's so cute. Wish I could take pictures.

Well, after giving hornworms a try with my chameleons, I thought I'd try breeding them again. I've had no sucess as of yet. I would put her in his cage, and she'd have a hissy fit and chase him. I tried putting him in her cage, worse reaction. Well, today, after the hornworms, she was receptive...

I've heard that they're high in calcium, but haven't tried them. I've seen them at a show. I know they come in various sizes, and small is ridiculously small. I tend to use butterworms, everyone here loves them, and they're a good source of calcium too.

Tomatoes aren't posionous. Tomato plants are.

Well, that's what I thought. But, how many prey items? I've been doing about 8 crickets and 3 silkworms for her. Is that too much? She'll easily eat double that if I put it in the cage.

I have 1.1 veiled chameleons. The male doesn't eat much. The female eats as much as you will give her. How much should I feed each animal? The female is just under 2yrs, the male over 2yrs.

I've been keeping my crickets (500-1000) in a rubbermade tote. I have cut a hole in the lid, and glued on a piece of metal screen. 500 crickets last me about a week. 500 crickets in a tote for a week make a big mess. How can I alter my setup to facilitate easy cleaning of the enclosure without...

I have a female veiled that I'm wondering about. I just recently got her, and will be finding something for her to dig in today. I have a bag of jungle sand that I'm not using, it's crushed walnut shells. Can I use this for her to dig in in her cage? I'll make a more appropriate setup for her...

She changes colours alot. Right now, she's green, with tan/brown patches on her. When it's lights and and she's asleep, she's a solid lime green. When I put them together, she gets alot of brilliant colours, and is covered with robin-egg blue dots. Very pretty.

I tried putting him in her enclosure. She ignored him for about a minute, this hissed and charged. Never saw a cham move so fast.

He's over 2yrs old, she's between 1-2, and supposedly already had a sucessful clutch.

Hello I'm trying to get my veiled's to breed. I've tried a few times taking the female over to the male's enclosure, and she has a hissy fit, literally, so I take her out. Someone suggested trying to bring the male to the females enclosure. So I did. She ignored him at first. Then threw a...

So captive raised hornworms would be a good treat for chameleons? I've been researching feeders trying so I can vary the diet of my reptiles.

I'm just curious, why can't you use egg cartons previously used for eggs?
