I'm glad to hear he has passed the pinkie! Everyone needs to relax a bit, I'm sure everyone here has made a mistake at some point while keeping reptiles, the point is her cham is fine, and she has learned a lesson, and thankfully nothing bad happened to her chameleon!

I am definitely not against a move anywhere in the world, I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to do a lot of travelling, and Asia is a pretty wonderful place to be. Right now I am dividing my time between Beijing and Vancouver, tho lately I have been spending a lot of time in...

Now the long wait begins! Congratulations on your clutch, and good luck with your hatch rate!

A basking area is not needed for newborn's. Ambient temperatures are sufficient for them to be comfortable, tho if you insist on putting a basking area, I would suggest no higher than 80 degrees. Babies overheat incredibly quickly.

No problem, good luck with your upcoming clutch!

IMO pinkies should never be fed to chameleons, yes in the wild they eat just about anything they can get their tongues on, and most of the time they are probably ok from it. But from time to time they get impacted and die...we as keepers have the option of feeding our chameleons such a wide...

This is definitely part of the hobby that really makes me envy those of you who live in a climate that allows for such wonderful outdoor enclosures! It looks amazing....maybe a move south is in my future!

I would recommend not using waxworms as the staple feeder, especially for an entire week. If your store sells out of whatever feeder you prefer using, crickets are a much better option. But to be completely honest, you should really be giving your chameleon a varied diet of at least 5-6...

It might also not be a bad idea, if you fear that your cham is quite dehydrated, you could try to use an eye dropper to drip some generic electrolyte water on its nose to assist in faster hydration...

No thanks needed! It is always wonderful to see new hatchlings, whether they are my own or someone elses. Enjoy it, I have a feeling this will probably be the first of many clutches for you...its a very addictive thing to watch the full cycle of your chameleons!

This is very common, what she is going is digging test holes, when she is ready to lay her eggs she will dig the final hole that she is planning on using. My suggestion to you would be to wrap a towel or paper around her cage and give her complete privacy. If she sees you watching her dig the...

It sounds like you are doing a great job raising your babies...no additional input from me other than to add more variety to their feeders, which you have already said you are going to do, so well done, and good luck with raising them up!

Carol5208- I'm confused...did you quote me to agree with my statement that superworms and meal worms do not cause impaction, or did you misread my comment and thought I said they do have a higher chance of causing impaction than other feeders?

Just to let you know....this thread died like a year ago lol...don't think the OP is still looking for help....

5 Wax worms will not hurt your cham, don't worry, but really they aren't the best feeder, so it is definitely not recommended. Superworms and mealworms do not have a high chance of impaction, however, I have been warned that if a chameleon begins eating superworms you will have a very hard time...

Caring for veileds is pretty basic. Keep them hydrated, be prepared to move them into their own enclosures very soon, if you have not done so already. Offer a wide variety of gut loaded,dusted feeders. Make sure they are getting all supplements they need. Set up a drip system, or a Mistking...

The BOI is a public forum where people can write both positive and negative reviews about companies, people, websites etc and their experiences with them. It is an excellent place to research whoever you are considering purchasing from in the future. From what I have heard the BOI is pretty on...

Short answer, No. Also these urges you refer to, I think it's safe to say based on most animals, they have only the most basic of instincts. I highly doubt they have the urge to mate because "it feels good" most likely their goal is to pro-create. I would even warrant a guess to say that it...

In my opinion, if the size of her terrarium is not large enough to fit a bucket, your enclosure is probably far too small and needs to be replaced with a larger one...for a female veiled I would say at least 18x18x36....

If I was you, and was attempting to incubate the eggs for a successful hatch, then I would say you should split the difference between the two incubation temperatures to cause the least amount of damage to the eggs. Another suggestion would be to separate the eggs into small groups and incubate...
