I assumed that my chameleon would not want to be held (a male veiled), and he still may change his mind someday. As of now, he rushes toward the door of his cage everytime he sees me, and I am unable to open his door to feed him or clean his plants, without him climbing onto me!!! I can't walk...

Ha ha ha, funny :) I especially like the last 30 seconds.

Hmmm, I will have to do some research on that. It might be a fun thing to do with the kids, and then just release the moths?

Er, I mean, Goliath Hornworms. I ordered some of these for my juvenile chameleon and have been feeding him 1-2 of them a day. The ones he hasn't eaten yet are now about 3 inches long, and I feel like they are too big! What do I do with them now?! My daughter has been feeding them to her...

bugboy-thanks so much for your encouragement, it is appreciated! Love your signature by the way. LOL I ended up giving him a few silks and a hornworm after he went all morning and afternoon without touching the crickets that were roaming around in his "house". It is nice to know that he...

I had lots of cricket death too, and have now got some Dubia roaches to try as a staple. My cham won't eat crickets anymore, but he doesn't like roaches either! :eek: He loves the silk worms and horn worms though.

He is loving his worms, and now seems to have no interest in crickets. I can't get him to eat the Dubias. I will try again in the morning when he is hungriest.

I was under the impression that I should leave his lights on for about 12 hours a day. Here is is getting light at 7 and dark at 9. Is that too much?

Cute! I love his name. I have a son named Sullivan, and we call him Sully. :)

I don't...okay, I will pick one up when I go out to get crickets. So dripping all day and misting every 3 hours from 8-5 sound okay?

I have heard that, but thought it was a myth... We feed them to our bearded dragon, but will probably skip them once we add all of the other feeders that I mentioned. I have an umbrella plant and a pothos in his enclosure, with an aquazamp rain dome. I don't have any glass to mist, but the...

He has had his first shed (since I've owned him), and survived the care of my husband while I was out of town...so, I thought some pics were in order! LOL I have no idea how old he is, but I feel like maybe he is a bit skinny. And, his eye turrets look sunken to me. He never drinks, that I...

Our first chameleon, a juvenile male veiled, is named Lief. :)

Would it be better to take my juvenile male veiled chameleon with me on vacation, or leave him in the care of an inept keeper (my husband)? We are going to the beach, east coast. 4-5 hour drive. His whole viv and all of his stuff will fit in the back of my van. Would it be too stressful...

I just put 2 Hibiscus out on my front patio today. While they are pretty, I'm pretty sure they were chosen for the chameleon. Don't tell my husband! Ha ha.
