As the time is getting closer for me to be getting my veiled baby ... I'm somehow worried that I'll screw up...what if this happens or that happens....these are a few things I need the answer to so I can quit worry so much. - I live up north and it can get pretty cold here in the winter...

Oh my goodness that is just the worst of news! Thank you for all the information and suggestions. We will not dust the crickets anymore. How do we know if we’ve gone too far with the supplements? It has been about a week straight of morning/evening feedings coated in the calcium plus. Also...

See my feedback in red bold. As the time is getting closer for me to be getting my veiled baby ... I'm somehow worried that I'll screw up...what if this happens or that happens....these are a few things I need the answer to so I can quit worry so much. Worry happens for everyone. Being new is...

So, you don’t want to use the Repashy Calcium Plus at all…it’s too high in some vitamins for chameleons (I can’t recall which specifically). Repashy Calcium Plus Lo D is much better BUT you only use the combination multivitamin/D3 for 2 feedings per month. Your little guy has been getting...

I’m very sorry for your loss. He obviously was a very special boy. ❤️ I do have a backup generator as I have parrots and and a tortoise and frogs etc I was just wondering how many hours basically I could leave it without too much concern.

One hornworm with that many hard bodied feeders would not produce runny fecal. Since he is a pet store baby you do want to get a fecal run to ensure he does not have a parasite load. He is too big for pin head crickets you want to kick over to smalls and nothing larger than a medium. I would...

My feedback will be bold and I’ll be breaking this into two sections to be more digestible. Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, Male, and about 7-8 months old. While it’s not always easy to tell, going from his casque size, I’m thinking he’s much younger…like about 4 months old. Either that, or...

Thank you so much for everything btw, you’re being such a great help. I thought he was about 5 months but I posted a picture of him on Reddit and was told he was about 7-8 months old. I’m so new at everything so I’m just going with what more educated people say. I bought him Petco. I don’t...

Hello! This post is for any people who are feeding crickets, and/or want to try grasshoppers instead!! I'm sure a lot of you feed crickets. I used to as well. But, when my baby chameleon, Nat stopped eating them, and I had to figure out why. The crickets can easily jump out of the dish that...

There are never too many questions, we want to help you with anything/everything you need! With baby chameleons, you’ll order either hornworm eggs or freshly hatched hornworms online to get ones that are small enough to safely feed. They also have a strong grip, so only feed them in a smooth...

Hello and welcome. She is so tiny! How old is she? Three months? I have raised two from babies so I will make a few suggestions that may seem controversial. First, the size of feeders should be no longer then the space between her eyes, not casque. She should be on small crickets right now and...

This is a long one but the info I am sharing needs to be heard. My veiled Hunter has a hemipene protrusion that I posted about. After cutting off the blood flow with a rubber band he has continued to go downhill so I contacted the vet and wouldn’t you know it, he is on a three week vacation. The...

Okay. Yeah we feed our crickets and cockroaches kale too. Oh wow. That's awesome. Yes we knew they weren't going to be cheap. We spent alpt on each of them. They are an advanced reptile and need so much care to take care of. And we love each of our reptiles. My bf built 2 enclosures already...

Reduce your insect size... I would not feed one this young anything but medium crickets. easily 2 dozen a day. Around 9-10 months old you will notice a curb down on eating. That is when you can reduce how many feeders you offer a day down to say 10-12. Then by the time they are 12 months old...

Hi and welcome! :) When they are little, their colors can kind of be all over the place and for varied reasons. I’m afraid I am having to rain a bit on your parade. However, please keep in mind that my criticism comes from a kind place and I only want for you and your little one to have many...

Thanks, happy to be here! His name is Mr. Crawley lol. I totally agree! Most of my knowledge and research have been from the Chameleon Academy and Neptune the chameleon. If there are any suggestions or advice, we are open to hear them. We just want what is best for our boy. Chameleon Info...

I can give you feedback on your husbandry and how to make any corrections, but I can’t heal your little one. I’m hoping you’ve been brainstorming some ways to make a vet visit happen. I’ll break this into two parts to make things easier for both of us. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled...

Thank you! I absolutely agree with you! Despite looking like a tiny brown leaf, they sure are beautiful! Beauty isn't always linked to having color the brightest rainbow colors - though it sure does help :) I pick them up incredibly gently 😅 I feel like the way I just pick them up and grab them...

I’m adding a shot from yesterday but I think it is being added to the post and not this reply. I hope you can get to it.

HOW TO PREVENT UNWANTED CLUTCHES IF EGGS IN CAPTIVE CHAMELEON FEMALES? Very often breeders and keepers parott again, and again, the following message, especially to beginners: the females of chameleons will lay eggs even without the mating: they will lay infertile eggs like chicken every second...
