Definitely one of the most stunning young veiled males around in my opinion! He reminds me a lot of my own 7-month-old, but colours are very different. You're lucky to have him.
I feed my cham crickets, dubias and supers + an occasional mealie or fly. I gutload them with dark green salads and greens such as rucola, basilica, mint, bok choi, alfa-alfa, cellery leafs, apples, oranges, carrots...
Supplements:
Plain calsium carbonate without D3 every day
Nutrobal once...
Haha, we must have been busy, all of us. :D
Maybe the reason is that most of cham keepers here seem to prefer mesh cage.
Your enclosure seems great for the most part, beautiful and well decorated. You have enough paths for your chameleon to climb on and foliage too. But could you add a plant...
Thanks for your reply.
He has fallen only a couple of times, 2 that I know of. Those times he has slipped he has run towards my hand to get to it and never fallen from my hand. He has never been afraid of me, he's an unusually friendly chameleon. I dont think stress causes this.

I have a healthy looking young male yemen chameleon, whose limbs are straight, casque too, he is growing fast, feces look fine and so on. He has a very good grip if he wants to, but on my hand he sometimes seems to relax his toes a bit and not squeeze a lot. He has 2 x ReptiSun 5.0 + proper...
So true! I didn't expect him to be friendly at all, but he seemed to get used to us in a week and after that he has f.ex. eagerly come to climb on us whenever we allow him to. He too lets me touch him, take a piece of leaf of his skin, he eats from my hand...
We have decided never to take...
Haha, well I actually live and breathe music, so that is far from random in my case. But although I happen to like the metal genre too my faves are more or less more ug.
My 6-month-old veiled got scared of a stick I was holding and showed these amazing colours. Poor baby, but what a sight! I just had to take a quick pic before rescuing him to his enclosure. I luckily havent seen him this scared for ages so these colours were a surprise to me too.
Nowadays...
Sorry guys, false alarm! It was on his face for more than 2 days, but I was able to get it off a minute ago with warm water and a piece of cotton wool.
Haha, new owners syndrome... I'm begining to realize I dont have to be so worried about every little thing, I have done my homework...
Our veiled shed on friday and yesterday we noticed a brown little bread-crumb-like pimple on his upper lip. At first I thought it was a piece of a cricket I just fed him, but it didn't come off on its own. I tried to touch it with my fingertip and get it off, but no success. What could it be...
Thanks, kittytheveiled is read through four times already and I've learned a great amount of things from there. I've researched chameleon husbandry for nearly two years now, so I'm quite confident about other things apart from the amount of insects per day.
I use plain calsium carbonate without...
I have a 5-month-old veiled. My husband and I both have to go to a 4 day trip soon and are trying to think what to do with our chameleon and how to help him to find food, water and all that he needs meanwhile.
We'll be leaving in a thursday morning. We'll fill the dripper, mist thorougly, put a...
I have a 5-month-old veiled chameleon, been with me for a week now. I've tried to do my research on everything beforehand, but there are a lot of different opinions about certain things, and I dont know who to believe.
Some people say that f.ex. 5 medium crickets + mixed salad is enough for a...
