sorry for the delay in photos... he's very shy so i ended up having to just take one through the screen. the lighting's terrible because i didn't want to use flash :rolleyes: hopefully it's helpful!
let me know what you think about age/feeding/whatever
The only reason im thinking he's 5-6 months+ is the pet store people said they got him right after the Massachusetts chameleon ban was lifted (in January), and have has him all this time. Other than that, I would definitely just assume he was younger, because he definitely just looks like a...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - male veiled chameleon, age unknown, 2 inches long NOT including his tail. pet store said 5+ months
Handling - haven't done so yet, but they handled him somewhat regularly at the store
Supplements - dusting him daily (is that right?) with "repashy superfoods...
hi, just an update on the cage situation, i added a few vines and a couple plants/hiding spots in the top part of the cage today and he really seemed to like them :) i included a pic of the new setup, please let me know if i should change anything else! i am thinking of adding maybe one more...
This kind of thing is the worst combination of horrifying and so, so upsetting. I'm so glad that at least someone has noticed the store's deplorable conditions--that's step 1. I would anonymously leave a professional looking care sheet on the front desk when they're not looking with a post it...
not to worry!!! it's really good getting feedback; i'm totally new to this so i don't mind at all hearing where to improve! i just bought that heat gun off amazon as well as a dripper (which i think will work better than the water-recycling one they got me to buy at the pet store :mad:)

awesome! I will fix that up today or tom.
and I just went in to check on the temp and actually interrupted him eating! didn't see him go for the crix, but he was right near the dish and 4 of the 7 were gone :) thanks for all your help everyone! feeling much less worried now! and can I assume...
ok sounds good! I put in an opaque cup with 7 dusted crickets in there, figured I would come back in a while to see if he's eaten any. still haven't found any poop which is a little nerve wracking, but I figure I will soon.
other than that is the setup ok? I wasn't sure if the cage was too...
xephyr--thanks so much! i'll take the paper towels out for now (the crickets are so sneaky!) and maybe cup feed if I get too worried. I definitely want to avoid him getting lazy or bored though, so that's a last resort I think.
kplatvoet--thanks as well! I haven't seen any poop yet, but I've...
