I find some people to be a bit harsh on these forums but I do beleive they just love Chams and want the best for them. :) You can order Hornworms of Amazon.com. I've done it a few times with no problems but I only buy from 5 star sellers! I have tried other bugs but haven't been impressed...

Update #2 - He just ate a large cricket!!! No noise strange noises this time. Chowed it right down. So I am guessing I am just over concerned! :) What can I say, I spent two weeks nursing him to health after I got him a year ago so I tend to be a bit over protective! It was warm out...

Update - I've watched George closely for past two days. He only closed his eyes when basking but not all the time. He opens them as soon as I walk over if they are closed. I have given him Kale, pieces of strawberries, grapes and hard boiled egg. He hasn't touched any of it! PICKY! He did...

I tried Kale a while ago and he would not touch it. I have to go shopping so I'll get some and try it again. The cricket food I buy is Fluker's High-Calcium Cricket Diet and Zoo Med Cricket Gut Load Block. I, also, give George vitamins and calcium. Forgot to add that. I use Retivite without...

I happen to see your post and your baby is just adorable. I am not expert but if your veiled chameleon is a female please look up egg laying and getting egg bound. I don't know if anyone mentioned this but you said you are new to chameleons. So was I and my first one was a female (although I...

Ok, I posted about a year ago about George. Now I am here again although this time I am not sure if I am just being overconcerened or not. George is about 1 year 2 months give or take a month. He is in a screened cage with three sides covered because temp and humidity would not stay up. Temp...

Thanks Crashbandit05. I already have a heating/basking light so that area is good. I will look into the Reptisun LED UVB 5.0 and Hood. Haven't seen that one. Thanks again!

Thanks for the information! Yes George is getting big and starting to change colors. I can't believe how fast he is growing! I'll try to post some pictures although he's shedding and a bit cranky. LOL I'll will be shopping for lights for him so thank you both for the information!

FYI JoeVet helped me a lot! I did a lot wrong with my first one and she passed away partly due to me and partly due to wrong information from the pet store where I got her. My little guy George, veiled chameleon, is doing fantastic because I listened the the people's advice on this forum...

Duwen, I have had issues with my baby chameleon. Please listen to the advice from above and read ALL the information on the care sheets. There is a TON of good information there. Also, people on here are definitely lovers of chameleons and sometimes sound a bit harsh but they are well...

Hi everyone! George, my veiled chameleon (who was very sick back in June), has quadrupled in size or more maybe! He's getting huge quickly. So, now that he's definitely healthy and growing well, I want to buy him a better UVB light fixture and bulb. He'll be moving from his 18x18x24 glass...

Oh I read your post about him missing and just came back to post that I hope you find him and I read that you did! That is such great news! I am sure your husband searched high and low. :)

Thanks Carlton! I appreciate your comments and will wash them in the bleach and hot water solution when needed.

Oh my I have tears in my eyes. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I had something very similar happen to my first cham although I had to have her put down. So I really understand. I could of had an autopsy also but I thought the same as you. RIP Smeegle! My thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry to read about your cham. My thoughts go out to you.
