Mine is a juvenile. Right now I am giving him calcium on about 3 crickets a week, and multivitamins on 1 or 2 crickets. I usually only use calcium d3 now every other week- I substitute the cald3 where the normal cal would go for that week. My veiled tends to excrete the excess out of his...

I will be heading off to college in a year, and I am wondering if anyone else had the dilemma of what to do with their chameleon! I am really going to try to bring it with me (I'll be studying zoology... you would think I could at least keep him in a classroom). Also, dorms sometimes don't...

From what I understand veileds can handle a bit lower humidity because they live in the higher mountains, so it's not like you need a tropical rainforest in his enclosure. Maybe a drip system would help?

Yeah i'm going to condition him to my presence.. each day I'll get closer to him until he just stops hiding from me. So far it is working- I have successfully opened the door without him jumping under a leaf!

Haha yes I have, but when he is on my hand, he'll lean so I can't see anything but his eye! I tried doing this with another person holding the camera, but he got stressed and turned brown :(

Where do you buy all these insects- Do you keep 'colonies' at home?

I am amazed at all the great pictures people can show of their chams, but my little guy is so afraid of getting his picture taken! I just want to show him off to everybody :) It could be that he is just very shy- if he notices anyone in the room near his cage he will tilt himself behind the...

I went out and bought some RepCal vitamin supplement, it doesn't have D3 in it. However, I'm having trouble finding calcium supplement withOUT D3. I find plenty of vitamin supplements with calcium without D3, but I can't seem to find plain calcium. Any brand names or suggestions? Also, i'm...

Thanks! Do I need all these supplements even if i gut-load the insects with calcium products? Right now all i have is Zoomed Repticalcium with D3, and I understand it is bad to use too much of that, as well as too little! Also, the insects I will catch will be from out in the country in some...

I recently got a 4 month old veiled chameleon, and I want to be sure I have the best husbandry practices. How long should the light or heat light be left on for veileds? How often should i 'dust' the crickets with calcium supplement powder? When feeding, should I let a few crickets roam...
