I do the same thing as you and it works great for me. One ingredient that I would suggest for your next batch is bee pollen that can be found at natural food stores or markets.

I just bought 4 small ones a few months ago and they have grown big time and I am expecting them to start laying eggs soon. They are really easy to take care of. room temps, daily light mistings, some sticks to climb on and hang from to moult is about all they need. They eat bramble...

are those her receptive or gravid colours or something? I have a female veiled (approx 13 to 14months old) and she has never shown those colours, then again she has not laid any clutches either. She looks awesome.

I didn't have to, by the time I got home from work that day there was a big fresh one waiting and all has been 'regular' since lol.

that is where a automated misting system is awesome. I was in the same situation with having to work or I would want to go away for a weekend but couldn't until I got a mistking. ps. Christmas is coming, put it on your list.

If nobody else chimes in I can give you more info tonight as I'm at work right now typing this on my cell phone and thats alot of typing so... Im not an expert either but have kept a very healthy female veiled for the last year with all the help/info I got from these forums so you can try doing...

Welcome to owning a chameleon and to the forums. Most of your husbandry looks pretty good. Are you gutloading your feeders with anything? gutloading with a variety of fresh veggies/fruits/green is very important as whatever your feeders eat your cham is eating too. You will also want to get...

I feed my veiled wild caught grasshoppers when they are in season but like our american neighbors grasshoppers generally are not sold, I wish they were.

I have a suggestion that just recently worked for me. My cham always used to hand feed or eat off of a lid, well all of a sudden she decided that she didn't want to do that anymore, she went a few days without eating while I offered it to her the same way as usual so I tried just putting a...

from what I understand they are a decent staple feeder but like any feeder it is best to give variety as they all contain different nutrients. I am still waiting for my colony to start producing before I feed any off so I really hope my cham likes them, I guess if she doesnt I have some new...

where do you live? I found some at a small local exotic pet shop for about $6 each which is expensive as a feeder but cheap once your colony is established. I believe they are not legal to keep in Canada but not sure about else where. precautions need to be made when getting rid of their...

I just started breeding indian walking sticks and they are just as or easier than my dubia colony. They feed off bramble (blackberry/raspberry leaves), privet (not good for gutload), rose leaves and romaine (romaine will keep them alive but they wont thrive off of it) all they require is a...

how old is she? my female veiled used to do that once in a while when she was a bit younger (she is now a year old) and still does very occasionally and Im not sure why but I figured she was just checking out her pad or looking for some bugs.

I got a mistking system about 4 months after getting my first and only cham when I realized that I wanted to go away for a weekend without having to get somebody to come over and mist for me or for all day when Im at work. Its all about convienience and worth every penny.

I personally think that keeping them well fed all the time is a good idea to keep them healthy and plump. If you starve them they will be weak and more prone to die off. I would save the 'good gutload' until they are ready to be fed off but would still feed them decent food (fruit and veggie...

1. I do not have the zipdrip valve option and don't really feel the need to have one as there is only 3 or 4 drips that follow misting which I figure can't hurt considering that is what a dripper does. 2. I don't have a drip tray under my enclosure so I do shorter mistings, 5 or 6 1 minute...

I use distilled in my misting system and all seems good.
