    Sunken Casque

    ok yeah so that translates to roughly an inch and a half to 2 inches. So they are larger. We do not have access to them the way you do. lol Might try smaller ones see if he digests them better.

    Stubborn Chameleon?

    Totally understand! I will keep an eye on him and take him to the vet if I notice his health going down. He is eating a lot of dubias and calciworms, but he just sits really close to the heating lamp and not sure if that’s a good thing.

    Tiny veiled, female (I think) Not feeling well, or just adjusting?

    ...a day. Very important that the feeders be no larger than the space between her eyes. Crickets are good. You could also add some bsfl (calciworms) if they are small enough. Most pet stores lack a decent variety so we usually have to order on line. Do check out the forum sponsors for feeders...

    Just took 4 month old veiled to the vet they gave vitamin a and d injection now it wont eat and is lathargic

    Oh ok, they're probably a good size then. Bsfl are black soldier fly larvae, which are calciworms, aka nutrigrubs, aka Phoenix worms. They're small and nutritious. But if she was eating those crickets before they're probably good.

    Veggies and Fruits

    https://www.rainbowmealworms.net/phoenix-worms-1/ Phoenix worms are nutrigrubs are calciworms are black soldier fly larvae. Different names for the same larva. If you feed them as larvae they are nutritious. And a little less nutritious as flies, but more fun to hunt

    Tiny veiled, female (I think) Not feeling well, or just adjusting?

    I have the vines positioned to where her basking spot is about 5-6 inches from the basking light (tweaked it until I got a temp read of 80-85) the uv side has a small vine that allows her to get about maybe 4 inches from the UV. If I must, I will return her when storm clears. :/

    I can’t tell you to go against what your vet has advised (unless it was something totally outrageous). I can tell you that the best place for correct and up to date chameleon care and then some is https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-basics/ Do make sure to check out the podcasts. They delve...

    Female Veiled Sick?

    ...She comes out for handling 2-3 times a week on average and seems comfortable and calm. Feeding - I am feeding her crickets, silkworms and calciworms, and rarely waxworms as a treat. I feed her 3 feeders every other day. I feed her in the morning but sometimes one of us will drop them and she...

    Calci worms need fed?

    Calciworms = Black Soldier Fly Larvae. They don't need to be fed. You can feed them fruits if you want, but that makes them stinky and when they get wet they're also excellent climbers. That's a lot of loose roaches. ?

    did something happen to his tounge?

    ...rehabilitate the tongue, you can increase the distance to shoot incrementally. Perhaps try a few different cups/vessels, I just hold calciworms and medium silkworms in my palm now to do a range check (its actually quite something as i used to have massive phobia of maggots 😆) i also have a...

    Just wondering if my chameleon looks alright, I’ve had the guy for four years.

    I think he looks a bit small, and his casque too..... For supplementation, I recommend Repashy Calcium Plus LoD.... That will substitute all supplements... Every insect (except calciworms), every feeding

    Chameleon refusing to eat crickets and sometimes refuses to eat at all. Question forum filled out.

    BSFL is black solider fly larvae. Also known as calciworms or phoneix worms. You'll gradually bump up the wattage of your basking bulb or move the distance of the basking branch (be careful it's not too close to burn your cham) as your chameleon gets older.
