A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... I was an editor. Some things still jump out at me, but now I make as many/more mistakes as anyone else. Plants never are/were food for veileds. "Some people have tried using artificial plants so that their veileds don't/won't eat them, but...

thank you!!!

Hey, guys. I have a veiled chameleon and was wondering if this plant (bamboo) is safe to put in the enclosure to keep the humidity up and for consumption. Also, what are some good fruit and vegetable suggestions? I always see her take bites at the money tree so I am curious.

@Beman One user recommended fruits and vegetables but is it true u shouldn’t feed fruits and vegetables bc they are insectivores

I think it's a great point of discussion. It was addressed above a bit, but I guess then the question becomes, what do we want the chameleons to gain by eating vegetables? I would argue that not being able to digest them does not equal them being bad to consume. It's not just about calories...

What are the best fruits and vegetables that people feed their chameleons? And how much/how often do you feed it to them? I feed my veiled chameleons a little piece of either an apple, carrot, or cucumber about every other day, but would like to know what others here have used.

Hello, I am new to the reptile world! I bought a veiled chameleon about 5 months ago. I am godmacked over the cost of Dubia Roaches so I decided to set up my own colony. I have included in their box hydration gel, and roach feeding powder that I bought at a pet store. I am not interested in...

TMK, sugars are found in all living things—animal and vegetable. This is basic biology. https://basicbiology.net/micro/biochemistry/carbohydrates. So sugars are—to some extent—in everything any chameleon eats. One such mechanism might be gut microbes. If I remember high school biology...

It's all good 👍 I love when huge thoughts and opinions come up on my threads and any thread for that matter!

Personally I’d only feed off things they will only naturally eat in their environment not to say that they eat dubian roaches and all in Yemen or for me in the machakos mills area but I’d prefer to stay away from fruits and vegetables that’s just my personal opinion tho I’m not trying to be rude...

Hand feeding something like silkworms is a nice way to build up some trust. They are slow enough to stay in place while your cham decides whether it is safe enough to take the tasty treat. When I put my veiled guy in a double sized enclosure, he actually has gained weight and gotten plump. I...

Thank you to everyone for all of the input. I will continue to take advice from various websites, various breeders, and the many keepers I speak with. But realize I can not trust every site and all of the information given. There is no one set way to do everything. Different breeders I see...

They don’t live in the desert in Yemen they live in areas that have lush forests it only turns desert in the dry season when just about all veileds are killed off but for the most part they thrive in the rainy season when everything is lush in small areas I guess you could also mention the ones...

Twice a month is one feeding every 2 weeks. Friuts and vegetables are to be fed to the crickets and roaches. They should always have access to the gut load mix, and should be fed for 24 hours before being given to your chameleon. Feeding veiled chameleons greens is a somewhat controversial...

So no this is not how it works. When they are overfed once mature there is very little food intake needed for bodily function so all the additional turns into fat which this guy already has too much. Once in a larger cage this does not mean they use more space. I have an above average sized...

It actually eats it?! Mine veiled only goes for things that are moving?

Ok I am going to break this apart a bit. Doing basic husbandry in one reply and then going back over your history in another. If I could get a few pics of both of your boys just so I can look at size and fat deposits that would be helpful. :) See my feedback in red bold. Stick AGE ~1 year SEX...

So too add what Beman said fakes plants not only hold humidity better they are a must bc veileds are known to chop on plants and if they eat fake plants they can get impacted nobody has a clue why they take chomps and for climbing things plants and stick will work. I would get Aton of plants and...
