I'm looking for ways to give enrichment to my 8-9ish month old veiled. She's pretty personable (considering what I've seen about veilds in general lol) and I'd love to do something interesting/enriching for her to enhance her day-to-day. I have already taken her outside a few times which she...
Just wanted to share these cute pictures of my baby exploring outside for the first time :) I took her out on my back deck because there are a lot of good potted plants for her to climb on there
I think she may just be gaping sometimes because she isn't used to me yet. She was pretty personable with her old owner (she was ok with handling), but considering that she just underwent a big change in environment I can totally see why she's acting aggressive. Hopefully she will get more...
I just filled one out after feeding her a hornworm that was too big - https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/are-hornworms-too-big.177353/#post-1592813 Thanks for the help!
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled chameleon, female, 7-12 months old (prev owner not sure). I have had her for all of three days ? I'm just worried that I'll do something wrong and want to make sure she's getting the best care possible.

I got some hornworms from Joshs Frogs and fed one to my cham, it were kinda big (like thick around and probably a few inches long) and now she's at the top of her enclosure gaping and making swallowing motions. Will she be ok? I don't think I will feed hornworms any more.
Thanks so much! I have seen in different places that you should feed them daily when they are still young and then switch to every other day/3 times a week when older. Do you know if this is correct? How did you know when the cham is old enough to be gravid?
Hi all, on Friday I finally picked up my chameleon from about an hour away -- the owner had to rehome bc he was going to college. She's a female and her age is a little uncertain since the previous owner got her from a "sketchy situation" at a pet store (I don't know any details, but she...
