We had a really bad storm come through the area just a few weeks ago and unfortunately lost power for the first time in awhile! The storm happened early afternoon and left the basement where Nasir's cage is very dark. I was worried about him not being able to bask and messing up his sleep...
I'm sorry to hear about your little one's health I hope they recover! I pmed you her contact info she is often very busy with her animals but she will help you as best she can. They will however still require a vet! Keep us posted here!
Hi Ashley,
I saw that you wrote that you got your chameleon from a reptile expo outside of Chicago? Did that expo happen to be Scott Smith's All Animal Expo? If it was I'm guessing you purchased your veiled from Cindy of Beaded and Veiled Reptiles. My current and previous animals were both...
Also, thanks for the advice Pssh I'm going to be tub feeding my chameleon in his larger and better cage. What height would you place the tub? Right now I plan to put it about half way up with plenty of branches and vines around it.
That's going to be quite the chameleon row there! Now if only I could do something similar in my basement... I really like the inside of your set ups too! Especially on the left side. I'm currently setting up a 2x2x3 and hope it turns out similar! Well done
Silkies seem much more appealing of a feeder insect compared to a lot of the more common bugs people use. They are just white squishy caterpillars and are IMO very cool! I love placing a fresh layer of mulberry leaves on top of them and watching them chomp through them like nom nom nOm. They are...
I'm also curious about what these chows consist of. Luckily I found a mulberry tree on my property as I thought our only one was cut down last year. Do mulberry leaves have any decent nutritional value that you know of?
So many people regularly use horn and silkworm chow and I wish a...
All this mantis talk really makes me want to purchase some ooths and try them out! Great I just got a decent gut load for my crix down and now my feeders are going to need feeders... I love this hobby :p
He's a very good looking baby nice n plump! My veiled was just that size when I got him in June but it's amazing how fast they grow and change! Get plenty of pics of him now while you still can. He'll grow everyday! Congrats again I bet you're super happy to finally have him, just make sure you...
Thank you for all the replies and suggestions... I'm trying my best to provide a varied diet but it is a bit more difficult when my chameleon can't take down just any sized prey and feeding something too large is a risk I don't want to take.
I think I will place a feeding cup inside of...
I've used oranges, watermelon, and lettuce to help hydrate feeders at it seems to work well. I wonder why the breeder advised against using the oranges. I was also wondering if lemon can be used to hydrate feeders. Although if acidity really is harmful then I'm guessing this wouldn't be a good...
Baby veileds sure like to do this. Your chameleon could be under some stress causing him to hang or march around the top which both my veileds did when they were acclimating to their new home. You're going to want to give him a bit of extra foliage so he can feel secure. Give him vines...
Thanks for the input. It's a shame that locust are unattainable in the US. They seem like a perfect feeder for chams! I will definitely try some flies and mantis however. Ive been hand feeding a few butterworms I picked up recently! Hope he takes a liking to those so I can have yet another...
The first photo shows him the day I received him at 6 weeks. The last is him recently at 11 weeks. Veileds are such a joy! Here's a picture of his current enclosure.
Hello everyone. Finally got around to uploading a few pictures of my very young Veiled Nasir; which I've had since the beginning of June. He's an awesome little dude and he seems sure to be a stunner! Love him so much let me know what you all think! The photos are chronological!
