i feed mine once a week so...

My feedings are "fill the feeder till the point there is a few left over after the feeding" or hand feed till they stop eating. Then i remove the food. Then its either every other day, or every 3 days for feedings. I never reduce the amount per feeding. Once they are adults im a monster...

Im saying girls dont get basking bulbs till they are almost adults, or are adults. You also dont want to over feed girls. Look here is the life of a female veiled: hatch eat like a horse generate eggs as early as possible lay a clutch if you get your clutch in early enough, you might be able...

50/50 shot of a female even getting a basking light, I wouldnt even bother till around 9 months. The only reason for one before hand is if air temps dont hit at least 70f some time during the day.

If its a "gas" just tarp the cage and bring the cham and bugs back in 24-48 hours. Once the gas is gone, you are safe, "things" dont need to be cleaned etc. If its a water based aerosol etc, then you have issues.

Look good. I would not worry about day time humidity, infact if you can lower it magically, go for it. Unfortunately your air temps never really vary. Under ideal conditions you want it cold at night. Plus its a veiled, they have no problem dealing with 50's at night, as long as it gets to...

Id just load up the window with some hibiscus or other large barky house plants. Keep in mind florida folk have the opposite problem of Ohio folk. How to drop the humidity during the day, and raise it at night while increasing the humidity. Also Holly ridges batman.

With a proper setup cage. Nails never need trimmed. With an improper setup, they can grow little hypodermic needles at the end, which i do trim in adults once a year, keeps the nail from splitting when it does break off. It does keep the nails from getting stuck. But placing hard bamboo etc...

I have a meter. https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-cage-set-up-replicating-the-sun/ This has a couple of charts if you want to eye ball it.

No luck in ohio. Even "in the basement" at 60f, it was a no go. Seem the only way to get things going is using a big cooler, and placing the bugs and some adjustable plant bed heaters in it . Its 70F or bust. My buddy managed this with a broken chest freezer. Hardest part is the air flow...

UVB levels are UVB levels. As long as the levels dont get in the danger zone, you are fine. And you would even be making a UVB gradient which may help.

Mr lola is disappointed when the vacuum cleaner doesnt give it snacks. Even comes out to greet the thing, which he does not do for me. Chameleons tolerate your existence as long as you provide value. Like cats, the only reason they dont eat us, is because they cant.

Cats are going to knock everything off the top Cats are going to find a warm spot on top, and odds are fall through. The only "cat proof" is going to be a converted display case or converted piece of furniture. The current el cheapo is getting a steel locker/cabinet, and sawing out 4 windows...

Ive been larping for years, come on in, the water is fine.

You can have "a pet tree" and still be fine. If i was going stick happy, i would offer a variety of thicknesses just so they dont develop "bird foot" where their little feeties adapt to only thickness of branch. And it might be the lighting, but yer boy looks a bit skinny.

I also do feeder "tubs". Just shallow opaque tupperware with a few sticks (or chicken wire) across it, at the bottom of the cage. It needs to be shallow enough that if the cham decides to crawl into the tub, they can still crawl out. Then the bugs just kinda hang out with some food. Some...

Time to put some stone on the soil. Cant get to the soil, cant get to the worm eggs. But i dread plant shopping. The mealy bugs are always gunning for me, along with the spider mites.

a 3 month old might be iffy on giving him a basking spot at all. At that age is when you start introducing them. As long as its above 70 at some point of the day, they will be fine.

AAAAnd its "too small to sell" free egg time at the local chicken guy. "Why do you want the small thin shells, they suck?"

Veiled growth is based on available food. Its why we say dont over feed the females at an early age. The worse case is the body does not grow fast enough to support the internal organs. This does not appear to be the case, and hes not showing any MBD. So he may fill out well once he has...
