Cage: https: https://www.chewy.com/zoo-med-reptibreeze-reptile-cage/dp/344873 (this is the bare minimum, the recommended cage size for veileds is 4’x2’x4’ tall or bigger)

You have a male veiled, I’m not good with ages, so hopefully someone else can chime in on that. If he is around 3 months, he needs 1/4” or smaller feeders. You’ll feed him as much as he’ll eat two times a day. The link I posted in your other thread has all of the latest and accurate info
Welcome on here! Sadly, everything is incorrect in his cage (including his cage) and it needs to be replaced ASAP, as all of it can cause serious health issues. Read through every module in this link, as it has the most up to date and accurate chameleon care. I’ll start linking correct things to...
As he settles in and you build trust, you can look. The care for either gender is the same right now, so no need to worry about that
You’re not a failure at all! You’re fully committed and reaching out for help, wanting to learn more; that’s all anyone can ask!
Great!

Cage Info:
Cage Type - screen, 16x16x30in This is too small, the bare minimum is either 36”x18”x36” tall or 2’x2’x4’ tall for a veiled, but the recommended size is 4’x2’x4’ tall or bigger! Bigger is always better, so go as big as you can! You need to take out the reptile carpet (you need a bare...
My feedback will be in red, and I’ve attached helpful links and care images below (@GrannyK has already attached the lay bin image, and @MissSkittles has already linked her laying blog, but I’m adding them both here again so everything is in one place):
Chameleon Info:

That’s good! I’ll go over everything now, there are improvements that need to be made ASAP. I’m about to throw a lot of info at you, so let us know if you need clarification, have any questions (there are no stupid ones), or anything like that; we’re here to help!
This is a good one (you might have to play around with the wattage, I’d start at 40 or 60 watt), as plain incandescent bulbs aren’t available in some states at hardware stores anymore: https://exo-terra.com/products/lighting/heat-lamps/daytime-heat-lamp-60w/
Also, I’d think about replacing the...
You’re doing a GREAT job!! I’ve just got a few tweaks and info for you:
I’ve attached a gutload chart below in case you’re not sure what to feed the crickets. Also, avoid getting crickets from places like Petsmart, Petco, Pet Supplies Plus, etc (any big chain pet store), as they have higher...
As long as there is enough airflow in and out of the closet so there is constant fresh air it should be fine. You can purchase her adult cage now no problem! You’ll just have to replace her branches to ones with bigger diameters as she grows
Congrats on getting your cham! Three other things, as everyone has covered everything else:
-The heat bulb (replace with a plain white incandescent light bulb) needs to be a minimum of 9”+ away from the basking branch, nothing closer (the plastic plant- needs to be replaced with a real veiled...
@Gloriawood awesome job!
@noahrg4 make sure your calcium without D3 is also phosphorus free! That’s very important as feeders are high in phosphorus, so we use calcium to help balance that ratio. A couple more things are the two trusted uvb brands are Arcadia and Zoo Med. If possible, get the...
Welcome on here! You’ve got almost everything covered by these great keepers! The only thing I’ll add is that his uvb needs to be replaced with a different brand fixture and bulb, as ReptiZoo doesn’t have good bulbs or fixtures. If possible, get the Arcadia ProT5 uvb kit with the 6% Arcadia uvb...
Looks great, and I’m glad Leon loves his new uvb! Just remember to switch out his basking branch, too. Also, when putting the new vines in, don’t attach them to the ceiling of cage, just on the sides and onto/through other structures in the cage. Leon sounds like a handful 🤣, at least he’s cute!
