Well, I haven't had a problem with just the top, but it doesn't hurt to be on the safe side.

I just use regualar plain rolled oats. :D. Yes, it's that simple.

Yes, definitely! My cham adores them!

Well... in my personal chameleon shrink (:p ;) ) opinion... I would say that he wants to come out of his cage, but once he realized that all he's going to get is confinement to a human being jungle gym, he'd rather take the cage any day! Veiled chameleons don't like to be caged up. They like...

Yes. You need to remove the plastic. The UVB will not be able to penetrate it.

Wow! That's strange! :eek: Never happened to me. I even have a shirt with a super realistic chameleon on it, and Emoji's never reacted that way!

Happy Birthday, Jann!!! :D :D :D You contribute so much to the chameleon world! You're beautiful Veileds inspired me to get my own and your knowledge helped me learn along the way! Happy Birthday! :)

Yeah. It's kind of weird but true. That's why you can't feed them hornworms that have eaten tomato plants.

Nice vid. Please stop feeding your cham tomatoes, though! They are poisonous to chams! :eek:

New chameleons are usually very stressed after moving to a new environment and should be left alone for the first few weeks. (No handling and keeping cage maintenance activities to a minimum. Usually they do not eat at first. It can take some chameleons up to a week to start eating and some...

Just because your veiled behaves that way, does not mean that all Veileds do. My Veiled is a sweetheart. So are many others. There are panthers that behave the way you describe too. It is impossible to predict a chameleon's personality simply by it's species.

You're going to want to remove the eggs before they hatch, otherwise you'll have a disaster on your hands (pinheads vs giants! :eek:), about a week after introducing the soil to the adults. Put the egg bin in a separate tank/bin with a heat source. The incubation period really depends on the...

I'm not saying that it's parasites, and it probably isn't, but it is always good to get a fecal test done every six months. Chameleons don't have to be wild caught to get parasites. For example, crickets can sometimes carry pinworms. It is always better to be on the safe side.

Emoji only eats like two Dubias every month or so. I have now have a colony of pet roaches. :eek:

I vote Veiled all the way! :D I love my little Veiled boy. They are amazing chameleons. The personality really depends on the individual chameleon. You could get one very antisocial and defensive chameleon and then another "friendly" one of the same species. I have 0 experience with...

Wish my cham ate dubia. :( As long as you provide the pinheads water via spraying their soil, they are fine. I barely lost a single pinhead. That's another thing: it is CRITICAL to keep the soil moist by spraying it every day when incubating the eggs.

And another one.

Here are some pics of my current set up. It is simple and I have WAY less adults breeding right now, but it should give you some idea. I apologize for the poor quality. Here ya go:

I breed my own crickets and I think it is definitely worth it. As far as bin goes, the bigger the better. I've never heard of the double bin mesh idea, but I'm not sure how well that would work as the crix would have a hard time walking on it. I just use one bin with a heating pad underneath...
