btw this topic should've been posted in "Other Reptiles" forum but I posted it here by mistake and couldn't fix it : (

Thanks for the information Exactly. Veileds are already very popular. I'm just wondering about the agama and the scorpion. I couldn't even find anything about them online. (just very little) Maybe I should start my own research :P

Hello everyone! I live in a place where there are a few kinds of beautiful wild reptiles that are exclusive to this area. An example of those is the veiled chameleon. Another example is a kind of rock agama. These are really beautiful but they have always been wild animals. No one ever has kept...

Beautiful videos! You know what those areas are actually my hometown (southern Arabia). I go there every summer. So when it comes to the natural habitat of those chameleons I know everything. But the problem is that they can very rarely be found! I'm not sure about Yemen, but in southern Saudi...

Thank you very much for your advice! a really helpful post :) And yes of course they are gorgeous and amazing creatures But sorry about the wild ones! :( I really liked your idea but they can't be found all the time! they only appear after rain and not everywhere ( Chamaeleo chamaeleon...

Thanks!! :)

It's pretty clear now Thanks alot! And yes I'm in south Arabia Thanks for you advice You can do some tricks to move the dead insect without touching it and then the chameleon will think it's alive and eat it. I have done that before. I wonder why it's not healthy!? it's the same...

Thanks BocaJan! No they weren't superworms, I honestly don't even know what specie they were! xO But I'm sure it's not a poisonous one or something! it's a desert beetle and can always be found anywhere around my house But the worms looked just like superworms :D

If I want to start breeding crickets or grasshoppers/locusts, how long will I wait for them to breed and give me an enough number of feeders to start feeding? Also I've started a feeders breeding project months ago using beetles! They were more than about 5 beetles but I only got about 7 worms...

Thank you very much sandrachameleon! -- Now I know everything I need about feeding! xD

Thank you all very much your answers are great I have my own ways to make the chameleon think dead insects are live xP But since they're not healthy I think I won't use them -- Thanks again and if you can help with this question you're awesome xD About calcium and vitamins powder, do they...
