why not feed him super worm beetles? just curious

Have you been coating your feeders with calcium regularly and D3 every other week or so? What else do you feed your chameleon besides crickets/worms? any vegetables or greens? How often do you feed and at what time(s)? how much are you feeding?

The container I have in there probably could be a bit deeper, it's only about 9" deep with dirt all the way filled to the top. I would put a bigger bin in her cage but the background blocks anything bigger in size due to the sticks coming out. I was thinking I could make some taller walls and...

Yes! She has been displaying her receptive colors for over a week now. She hasn't started digging at all though. she is very restless and always wants to come out of her cage. I don't know what I should do for her, she can't come out of her cage because she could get hurt if she falls off of a...

Since this is my first chameleon I am trying to know everything about a properly set up enclosure for her. I have fake and real plants in it and the background is made of cork bark pieces and real sticks. She has several vines and foliage throughout the cage but I don't know if I should give her...

My veiled, Pascal in her flashy gravid coloring!

Oh good! as for the lettuce question, it should have no problem eating lettuce. I feed my veiled romaine all the time as a way to give her natural nutrients and water since I don't have proper drainage in my cage to regularly mist the leaves sufficiently.

Exactly. You can't put a light inside the fountain, which is where the bacteria grows, rapidly. I learned pretty quick it was too much of a pain in the ass to keep it in there. it didn't serve as a drinking option for my cham anyway.

I thought the same thing. Unfortunately there isn't much literature about what they do when they become gravid. At least that I could find.

The waterfall in the top one concerns me. If you want it for the aesthetic appeal, I'm all for it as long as it stays clean... like every day clean. those things only serve as breeding grounds for bacteria and if your cham drinks from it, it could expose itself to potential infection. just keep...

Yea I have a 50/50 mix of play sand and organic soil in a 12x12x8 inch bin at the bottom of her cage. she hasn't given it any attention for digging yet unfortunately, and she has been very restless! always circling her cage looking for a way out it seems. she roams the bottom a lot too but...

Pascal has gotten quite colorful in a few days since I posted last. I love the way she looks! However, she has been quite restless and hasn't shown any interest in the soil bin I have in her cage. I put some cardboard on the walls of her cage to try and make it a bit more private for her.

I understand that. I have some knowledge of chameleons from various articles on the internet and can kind of decipher what is real and what is satire. I also know that you wouldn't go out of your way to write me a lengthy advice post without the intention of helping me. Thank you for the warning...

Excellent! Thank you for the advice!

Well that's a relief! I figured that was the case but It's nice hearing it come from someone with a lot more experience than me. This is my first chameleon and I really love the hobby a lot. I'm doing everything I can to succeed in creating a happy life for my Pascal :)

This is Pascal! she's my female veiled chameleon. I don't know exactly how old she is, I'm guessing shes anywhere from 9-12 months (I got her from Petco as a baby and they didn't know the age). She recently started getting very colorful with yellows and blues, but has not lost her mainly green...
