I gutload all of my staple feeders (large crickets, and Dubia roaches), and also feed Hornworms, superworms, and Phoenix worms. I feed my staples a mixture of my fresh made Sulcata tortoise food which consists of collard greens, kale, butternut squash, and Repashy Superveggie. I also add oranges...
When I bought my 3 year old Red Bar Amibilobe, he wasn't in great shape. He was underfed, dehydrated, and his colors were extremely dull. But I got him for a great price, and figured that he could make a good recovery. Now just 3 months later, after proper housing, diet, and supplementation I'm...
I use a scoop of my Sulcata tortoise food when it comes out of the food processor. It's mustard greens, butternut squash, yellow squash, carrots, and Repashy Superveggie. I also add couple slices of orange (with the peel), and apple.
I don't think I'd try it. For color enhancer, I use Repashy Superpig. It could just be in my head, but I've noticed great results in my veiled's color since I started using it.
I'd be scared to let mine outside to FR. He's always trying to climb as high as possible, and I know that he'd be about 40 feet up in a tree before I could even blink.
I only have a few years experience, but in my opinion, the panthers have a much better temperment, and color. My veiled is young, but extremely mean, however I still enjoy having him and have no plans of getting rid of him. So, like most other people on here, I can't decide either.

One thing that I found worked for me is that I built a table, with a climbing area consisting of vines, branches, and leaves on top of it, and placed it in my home library (it's almost like a parrot's play area). I read alot, and this gives my chams the opportunity to spend time with me outside...
My first was a male flapneck about two years ago. I had wanted a chameleon for a while, but wanted to make sure I could properly care for one. When I found him on Craigslist for $20, I couldn't pass him up.
I bought my Jackson from LLL at an expo last spring, and I've never had a problem with him. He was fairly priced (around $70 I believe), and their veileds looked to be good quality as well. I've never seen any of their panther at an expo though.
I'm one of those people that is thinking about buying a Faly, but when I see a cham like this, I'm definately torn, even though I just got a red bar Ambilobe.
