Ok, I'll swap out the red for a white bulb, thanks. I'm at work now, but will send additional pics this afternoon.

Hmm, don't think our shop sells Silkworms but I'll ask. Sounds like we're doing well (re: frequency) wtih the multi with D3 and Vit A but need to do the calcium a bit more.

Our 4-yr-old male veiled has gradually gone off of crickets - won't eat them at all now (he's never gone for roaches). We've been feeding him wax worms but noting he seems thin. Our local reptile store suggested horn worms and he LOVES them. However, I've read they are not as nutritious? Is...

Can't seem to find this info though I'm sure it's on this site (haven't been on for awhile and I'm rusty!). What is the optimal basking temp range for a male veiled chameleon?

I know temperature has been frequently discussed on this forum but am having trouble finding what an ideal day temp is for a veiled (in the basking area). I'm worried our male is not getting enough heat (low 80's in basking area). At night the temp drops to low 60's which I understand to be...

Ours does that for a few weeks every year, then stops. Mating season is what I've assumed.

Hi, wondering how often the UV bulb should be replaced. Thanks.

Our vet recommended force feeding with Oxbow Carnivore - any advice on which one to order ("critical care", "carnivore care")?

He was at 200g on 4/27, 187g on 5/9, 183g today. :( He actually went off food for the most part around 4/17.

And apparently he is too. ;)

Ok. Thanks - really helps to have a place to go for this stuff. Fascinating, weird little creatures. I'm in love.

No, we've tried (he used to do both).

Ok. So he's still not eating. We introduced hornworms to him 2 days ago - no interest (nor roaches, wax worms, crickets, superworms). He just tried to mate with my arm I think - second time this has happened. He wanted out of the cage, rapidly crawled on my forearm and immediately began...

That 74 degrees was the coolest part of his cage when I assessed things this morning. I've been assuming the basking shelf is about 10 degrees higher. However, just now I assessed again, as this is the time of day when things warm up in his room. The coolest corner was 81 degrees, and his...

Update -He's still not eating - may have had a few wax worms 4 days ago (didn't see him eat so they could have escaped) . We know he ate a superworm on 4/28 and maybe 2-3 roaches (unless they escaped). Yesterday, despite all-day access to crickets, roaches, superworms and wax worms he showed...

I'm trying to understand how you've constructed your shooting gallery. Warning: I am not a DIY-er (obviously) and am also new cham owner - never heard of a shooting gallery before now and have never seen one. Is that "hardware cloth" attached to the pipe in back ? Or is the pipe open in back...

This is very cool. But, can you describe what you've done a bit more (new owner, the whole "shooting gallery" thing, etc. is totally new). So the roaches can crawl up the cloth and not the ABS pipe? It seems like grasshoppers could still jump out...

Yep, we've raised the bulb up 5" above the enclosure, and left the basking shelf where it was as he likes that perch. There's a vine laying on it, so when he's up there on the vine he's about 5 " from the top of the enclosure, and if he's just on the shelf he's about 7 " away. He doesn't crawl...

Our veiled is in a lg., open enclosure that allows crickets and roaches to escape (fun). We just tried another feeding dish with a small rim to prevent escape and the roach was able to get out pretty quickly. We put the crickets in a taller tub but occasionally a particularly athletic cricket...
