I love getting up to get the lights on and see my wee Corona first thing in the morning. He loves getting a wee spray and always hand feeds in the morning from myself and my son who seems to have bonded really well with my chameleon..

Hope I can get some information on free ranging my little guy! He is becoming a bit more settled and today he walked on to my hand with no hissing etc!! :) but I feel he would like to be out of his viv more but I'm concerned incase he goes AWOL!! Any advice? I was going to get a ficus and...

I took mine to see the herp vet just to make sure all was fine with him. He was great at the vets but has been a big grumpy ever since. Lol

What about calci worms? They are high in calcium and might help fatten him up

In the last pictures he looks like he is smiling. Well done for getting him out of a rubbish situation. Don't have any advice but just wanted to say good luck.

I used aquarium sealent on my viv

My veiled chameleon is the same. Only been home 2 weeks and is letting me hand fed him but if I try and get him to walk on me, or put my hand near him he back away an hisses etc. so I have started to just open the viv and sit reading or something and just hang with him. I think it will take some...

Thanks for all the responses. He seems to be getting braver and is allowing me to hand feed him more and be closer. We just sit with the door open checking each other out.. He is fascinating.. I will look into getting a free range set up outside his viv... Have another dilemma his dipped has...

Thanks everyone he actually let me hand feed him a hopper today which was a small step..

ZiggyStardust are Phoenix worms the same and calci worms? I've been looking into silkworms too. I'm in the uk so not too sure who is good to get them off of... I am going to keep trying with Corona the Cham. But I am under no illusions he is going to be a wee handful. That's why we picked him...

I've had my veiled chameleon for a week now, he is almost 4 months old, he has been eating and drinking since I brought him home. He seems happy enough and is active during the day. I just have a few questions.. He has been eating crickets, and I have got some hoppers for him ( let him try...

ZiggyStardust your Cham is lovely!! I'm uk based and hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions? I got my veiled last week and he is doing alright eating drinking pooing etc... He is eating 6 to 9 size 5 crickets each day, won't touch waxworms ( not too bothered) but I am looking into...

How did you get him to eat greens? I've been trying with my boy but not interested but it is still very early days I guess

I had a friend that said I was mad to buy insurance for my Cham! He said if it gets sick just flush it down the toilet!! They don't cost that much! Erm No don't think so... Only had him since Tuesday and would be devastated if anything happened to him

Well my little Corona is home now, he is a veiled 3 1/2 month male. Came home on Tuesday afternoon and was drinking from his dropper that night! Proud mama moment #1!! on the Wednesday I put in 8 dusted crickets and he ate them right away!! Proud mama #2! he had a vet check from our fantastic...
