    feeding mealworms

    I would switch to crix, if you are using as a staple, meal worms have very little nutritional value, and a very hard chitin (shell) Mealworms can be used to fatten chameleons up if need be, much like wax worms For a one month old chameleon I would feed small probably pin head crickets or a...

    Jewels New cage and YES it needs a plant

    How are you measuring temps ? I would use a digital gun to get a constant read. Also 60 humidity, is that after you mist? Or is that all day, veiled can stand low humidity levels than most other species . I would say 50 humidity is good and a spike of 70 or a little higher is alright

    Jewels New cage and YES it needs a plant

    I'm so happy you got Jewel a screen cage(: In my cage , I have a hibiscus (which im swapping for a ficus) and two schefflera, one of them is big and the other is small. They are probably my favorite plants, they hold water droplets nicely. You should build stands for your plants , to give...

    Why does he do this???

    88 degrees basking is too hot for a young chameleon , he is letting out heat when his mouth is open. Low 80-83 is ideal for young veiled chameleon basking spot .

    Buying a Chameleon online

    I would look around here on the forums for a breeder in the uk , we have a classifieds ad. I can promise that any chameleon that you buy off a forum member will be just as good if not better.

    Chameleon delivered with problem; Help

    Like I said I'm not a expert, I've just read more on abscess, than broken toes. It might be broken , I'm just giving my view on it. A vet's view on it would be much much better though

    Chameleon delivered with problem; Help

    I'm not a vet by no means, nor a expert, but I do tons of research 1. The head looks likes he has thermal burns from a heat lamp. Due to oozing and black color 2. The toe looks like a abscess I would recommend a herp vet visit asap.

    new owner questions

    1. I would keep the door open if you can watch him, because I've read that it is likely that they will go exploring, and with kids around , it wouldnt be pretty lol 2. I would put it where there is the least amount of activity, and be sure to cover the cage with a dark blanket or towel if you...

    24x48x72 enclosure!

    If you split the cage in half the 5.0 should work And yes it can, but you would be surprised how crickets magically get out. https://www.chameleonforums.com/diy-living-wall-turtorial-pictures-129951/ You should make a living wall to cover up that plywood!

    24x48x72 enclosure!

    Now when you say the temp is constantly 80-83 is it in the basking spot or all around? The hibiscus will more than likely die without sunlight so have a back up plant to use and switch out with ( every week if possible) The top of the cage looks like its made from galvanized steel? Which...
