how old is he. mine is almost 3 months and i was so upset i couldnt get him to cup feed. and then one day like 2 weeks after putting cup in there i saw him sitting on edge of cup eating a cricket. i think they have to accept the cup as part of their cage 1st. especially babies who tend to be a...
we just picked up a bird cage on a stand with wheels so i can move it around outside.(want to make it my outside cage). my question....do the bars get too hot for his feet. i'll have vines and a plant in there.

i can answer a few questions for you hopefuly but some senior members may have answers to others such as the grass question(i have no idea). so 1st welcome to the forum. im fairly new here too but not to chameleons. i think your enclosure is too small for a 5 month veiled. she will be getting...
you can make a "boy or girl thread" and post some pictures of the underside base of the tail. there are some senior members on here that are amazing at sexing chameleons
i love how people either go the "pet" name route or "people" name route. all my animals have "pet" names except my chihuahua, Elvis. i have a doberman named Sumo, a cat named Sola and my veiled is Rambo.
when i had a savannah about 15 years ago i swear it hated me and wishes it could kill me. haha i got bit and tail whipped plenty. i know how bad it hurts. his name was Draco and i loved him anyway. lol
