Yes i feed them many of the things you have listed. i've never given my chameleon any of the fruits you have mentioned because i didn't know that anything outside of red grapes was safe to give him. i'm going to make a note of all this. I don't know i've been giving him 14 superworms at a time...

No never heard of it and I have never ordered from them but i probably will if i can't manage to make the chow myself.

Can somebody tell me how much he should weigh? So i can compare when i weigh him in a little while. thanks :)

I wouldn't know i haven't been on the forum in a while lol i usually only logon when i have a question or concern for my cham. But that is a very on point description. I love how when he's being lazy he will just lay on a branch and let his legs hang, he looks chubby when he does that. Then when...

Can i feed either of those gut loads to hornworms?

That's awesome of you to take care of a special needs chameleon!!!! And great to hear that he is doing well :) I can see his ribs when he is just standing there. Or like when he's roaming his cage. Not when he is resting, fired up, or eating. But cant see his hips or nothing like that. He is...

Yes i understand they are a more complicated reptile to keep and most people post without having the proper husbandry to start with. Between the information on this forum and a friend of mine who is also a herper, i have learned how to take good care of him. I just wish the stupid plant would...

I know dragons can have them my friend has like 7 of those dang things. I was thinking.. other lizards eat them in the wild and baby snakes eat pinkies and its beneficial to them so how could it not be for my cham? (ofcourse i am not saying it IS good for him, i don't know anything about it...

Here are some very recent pictures they are like 1 week old. One of him all fired up and the other he is eating a hornworm. do you see what i mean?

yes i am going to weigh him tonight i just need to know what the average adult weight is because i've got no clue. i just know that every cham i see looks fatter than him lol

by gut loading i mean all of his feeders eat chow and a mix of vegetables. i have all the correct lighting. I have a Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 UVB T5 HO that i replace every 6months and his basking lamp is the Zoo Med Reptile Basking Spot Lamp 75 Watts. I also use a temperature gun to make sure his...

it's gonna be hard for me to get him to a vet. the closest one i can take him to is about 2 hours from where i live. how much should he weigh at this age? (we'll just say he's 3) i have a small scale that weighs in grams will that suffice to weigh him?

yes i gut load everything and i powder everything i even powder his veggies.

thanks for your quick reply. i guess its not a good idea after all. i just don't know what to do. people keep telling me he looks to be a normal weight but i'm not buying it. I feed him every other day and i give him more food than he can eat in one sitting. I give him a varied diet, i also give...

Like i said this is a controversial subject. My veiled cham will be 3 years old in a few months. No matter how many roaches, crickets, or worms i feed him, he stays on the thinner side. He has fat pudge around his ankles but he still looks too slim to me. Sooooooo.. I was thinking about buying...

Thanks guys i think i will try the sewing or the glue gun method. Just gotta go buy some screen. Appreciate all the suggestions!

Like title says my cham's screen cage has holes in it, some are from when i had branches wired to the mesh and the weight of him being on the branches caused the mesh to tear, and some of the holes are because for a short time my cat thought climbing up the side of the cage and sitting on the...

the humidity is different. but he does let me spray him directly because when i go to mist his cage he comes over and tries to drink from the spray bottle as i'm spraying ( he is lazy, and smart!) he will usually sit until he is soaked and then he trods off. i have raised the humidity into the...

well i just read elsewhere that once they hit a year their shedding slows down to every 2-3 months. well my guy must be setting a record because he still sheds monthly and he's almost 3 years old.

anyone? :/
