I like to feed my 5 month old veiled Phoenix worms every other day, along with his usual diet of Dubias, and the occasional hornworm. Phoenix worms are extremely high in calcium, and a good size for a young chameleon.
Thanks for all of the comments! The guy I got him from really didn't know how to care for him, and while I'm no expert, I do have two other chameleons that are in perfect health. His name is Plato, and he's already devoured 8 large Dubias, and a hornworm before 2pm today.
I got my first Panther Chameleon yesterday, and at a steal of a price. You can already tell how calm and gentle he is, I'm obviously thrilled. And before all of the comments come in...His new screened enclosure will be completed tonight, lol.
I've been feeding my chams Dubias and Phoenix worms dusted with Repashy Superpig at every feeding, and adding repti calcium, and D3 as directed. Could I switch to the all in one at every feeding, while still adding the Superpig? If that is the case, it would cetainly make everything alot easier.
Females are not nearly as colorful as males, but the next 6 months are the most important for her color development. You should see her get a little more shades of green and brown, with possibly a little yellow. Her diet, and the lighting in her cage will also have alot to do with how well she...
Despite having my lights on a 12 hour timer, my veiled chameleon is still somewhat active for about 30 minutes to an hour after the lights go out. So I keep a 60w Night-Glo bulb on in the far corner of his cage at night.
