Definitly shedding. About 11:00 last night he started falling apart. It took him a few hours but he finally got it all off. Pretty exciting stuff!

Is there anything else you can feed the younger veileds? Mine shows no interest in anything besides crickets. He doesn't seem too interested in eating anything off the scheffelera or the hibiscus. I've been dusting the crickets with Rep-cal's herptivite and the calcium with vit. D. Also...

I'm so excited. My new cham came home today! As soon as he hit the cage, he ate crickets, so I think he's starting out well. Anyways, I just wanted to ask a quick question. I notice (especially if he changes to a slightly darker shade) that he has white flakes on him. Is this the beginning...

I'm just a small jaunt from you Danielle...just down in central Illinois. The pegboard is a good idea for keeping it warmer in the cage. I've been thinking about also getting a humidfier (also have a misting system now...see other posts) for at least his cage, if not for the whole room, since...

Just a little piece of advice. I went out to my neighborhood Lowe's to find all the parts for the misting system according to the directions from the Basking Lizards site, and I must say that was quite a blunder. Instead of paying around 50 or 60 for the kit including the timer and sprinkler...

So I was in the pet store today and was about to buy a temporary home for my new cham (just a smaller reptarium) and one of the workers in the reptile area immediatly told me NOT to buy one, since they had no success keeping any type of reptile in them, including chameleons, and that they would...

Ok so as I was falling asleep tonight(this morning) the thought came to me. I know everyone recommends keeping the cham a quiet environment, but has anyone ever tried using one of those nature sound generaters? Just curious. Just thought it might be an interesting idea to try. G'nite all!

So I think my plan is to get one of the smallest ESU Fresh Air Habitats to start out with and then move to a larger reptarium a few months down the road. About how long do you think it would be before I needed to upgrade to one of the 65 gallon (possibly 100 gallon) reptarium? I think I'll get...

So whats the better choice, a humidifier system or a misting system? If one is better than the other, and if so how much better? Just trying to make a few last choices before the weeks end when the new cham comes home!

How many misters would be appropriate for a cage with the dimensions 28"x16.5"x30"? I think I might build one of the ones Heika recommended...seems pretty easy, and since I am on a college student budget, it fits perfectly.

Thanks for the reply. I've have so many hours of research logged on my soon to be pet, I've probably passed the number of hours spent on my physics research this semester. Oops. Anyways, the setup that lllreptile has seems like a decent price for the whole package. I take it that would be a...

Ok so one more question. Does anybody have any experience with the ESU Fresh Air Habitat. It says its perfect for chams...although I'm quite hesitant to trust just an advertisement with my chams well-being. Basically I'm looking for a cage for my new veiled (about 6-8 weeks old) that will...

Thats what I figured about the crickets. Just to prove that your idea isn't too odd, my dad occasionally finds a house fly and removes a wing, so my dog can have a new toy/treat. Thanks for the help all!

I've read a lot about people hand feeding their chams, however, no one mentions how they get the food to sit still while their cham spots it. I've been around insects my whole life, and I must say, never once has a cricket sat still for me. Any insight would be much appreciated. Also, whats...

Hey Brad! I really love the site. In fact, I think it will probably end up being one of the better forums for chameleons. I'd like to help out if I can. I have my own site, and wouldn't mind putting up some kind of banner something to plug the site and get more traffic over here. Shoot me...

Before I found a reptile show in my area I was going to buy from mine from www.lllreptile.com. They have a really good veiled package and also a panther package that includes, more or less, everything you need to get started. The veiled package is 159.99 and the panther package is 279.99...

Thanks! I'll let you know how it turns out! Also, how do you get the chameleon to drink the pedialite? should I just let it pool on the bottom of the container?

I will be traveling about 3 and a half hours from home. I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations on transporting my new baby veiled. Thanks.

I'm sort of new to chameleons, so I'm heavily researching every possible avenue for every aspect of chamelon care. I've seen the silkworm pupae that come in a can, like the crickets in a can. How do they compare to live? I would think it would lose some of the nutritional value, sort of like...
