Brad, Thanks on the heads up on the spinach. I will eat the spinach out of the baby greens mix and give him the other stuff. He also gets dandelions from the garden as salad, and I've just tried thinly grated sweet potato. However, Butter is very suspicious of anything new, and it might...

I take a wet paper towel to the bottom of the cage daily. If I'm feeding silkworms or greens I clean out the bowl each day, wash it with soap, rinse and dry before re-use. About every other week, I shake the plant, and take out any leafs the fall, water the plant, re-arrange anything...

Thanks everyone for the 'push' to order Butter some silk worms. He loves them. His appetite has gone through the roof, and I started "serving" a few silkworms on spinach or dark greens, and he adores the greens now too. (I call it a silk worm salad) I wish I had a digital on hand to...

When I was a young girl, I saw what must have been a veiled chamelon at an exotic pet store. That was probably in the early 1960's. I have always loved "critters" and had rabbits, guina pigs, lizards, turtles, torts, dogs, and every possible pocket pet imaginable. I grew up, had my own...

Buy a cocker spaniel.

Butter (6 months old) has shed his body twice, but not his head. His head is very grey. He has done this before, I think it's been a good 2 months or more. But soon, he'll start shedding on his casque, or under his chin....

Butter (male veiled, 6mo old) has been in a 18 x 18 x 36 , and I can see that he needs a bigger enclosure. He is almost as long as the cage is wide, when he is stretched out. I'm planning on getting him the 24 x 24 x 48, in January.

I keep my house pretty cool in the winter, and since Butter is in the living room on the first floor , it is even cooler. The temp in that room at night is around 50. F. I do keep a ceramic heat lamp on top of his cage on cold nights, but I have it on a reiostat, on low. The bottom of the...

Brad, Your boy is looking FANTASTIC !!!! He is so Handsome.

My veiled is a chameleon. As far as his form, shape, motor, and physical abilities go, he is a very "above average" chameleon. He eats, hunts, seeks warmth, and cooler climes. He is a great climber. He defends himself against percieved threats. He's got incredible eyesight. He is...

dodolah Thanks for the answers. I will continue to feed the silkies daily.

I just recieved some silkworms from Costal. I got 100 silkies, and some wet food. How do I feed it to the silkies? I cut off a couple chunks and put it in the a container that I got from them (ordered small conatiner w screen) but there were no instructions on how to feed/keep the wormies...

I have been worried about Butter (Veiled 5 months old) because I never see him drink, so this morning, I put his favorite waxworms in his plastic dish, on a bed of mixed baby greens that I had just washed. The greens were wet and fresh. An hour later, I was thrilled to watch him "shoot" at the...

My cham is a veiled. Named him "Dipped in Butter" as we thought that this is how the dogs in my house would like him served.

I have had "Dipped in Butter", a male veiled, since July 3. When I got him, he was a tiny little guy maybe 2 and a half inches. He is now a strapping boy, with his adult colors, full of himself, huffing and puffing when anyone gets near his cage. He is housed in a screen cage, 18x18x36 (I...

I have used their gut load. No problems with it.

I'm in my local independent pet store, looking at ceramic heat lamps, to get Butter's environment ready for the cold winter nights, and there are three teenage/ early twenty-ish maybe boys standing at the display of reptile lighting with me. The guys are seriously debating which light is...

They are all growing so nicely !!!! Beautiful colors, and everyone looking so healthy and alert.

Have some one come by the house and take care of your cham. They can also check out to make sure everything is ok. Turn cham's lights on and off, open and close your windows, and shades. Or hire a pet sitter to come in once or twice a day. Even when I'm out of town just overnight, I have...

WOW !!! So tiny !!!Congrats!!!!
