What a beauty he's going to be when his colors really kick in in a couple months ;) gorgeous ambilobe

You might wanna check on the classifieds. Theres a lot of people selling feeders on this forum.

How about everyone use this thread for it's intended purpose, to help. ir0k, I'm sorry for your unfortunate first experience, this website is a very friendly and supporting organization for people who have questions on chameleon care. There was an unnecessary comment, and I hope we can move past...

Wow, what a beautiful male veiled! Looks just like my boy when I got him :) It's nice to see you have a heart for saving the guy. Unfortunately, chameleons are one of, if not the toughest reptiles to take care of and it would help to have some previous reptile experience. They require very...

Hello, I was just curious as to what lights some of you guys use in your enclosures to keep your plants thriving, and if you could give me a general cost of your fixup. Thanks :)

I must have missed the tomato part. You definitely don't want to gutload with tomatoes, along with spinach and broccoli. They are toxic to chams. Like Kath said, you may need a saline or vet prescribed medicine for the eye if necessary. I would recommend a vet trip.

Yes! Dubias make great staple feeders. He should be able to eat baby roaches at his age. Dubias are also much easier to breed and they don't come with the smell and messiness that crickets have, and they can't climb or fly.

Thanks for filling that out. The feeding is understandable, usually they are stressed when they first arrive and may not eat much. When he gets adjusted, he should be eating 8-10 crickets a day. It doesn't sound like the humidity is your problem, but you definitely need a mesh enclosure for...

Beautiful boy :D how old is he?

Just a couple questions... How old is your cham? Do you have him yet? Is he/she skiddish or frightened easily? I kept my veiled in my room, semi-high traffic and he never had any issues. I would advise you keep him in a room without a TV, or if that's not an option, than cover his/her cage with...

He's going to be a beauty! :D Looks like an ambilobe/ambanja to me.

Hi and welcome to the forums :) As mentioned, veileds especially can be aggressive when they're young and growing. Some never outgrow it, some do. When I got my veiled at 10 months he was the sweetest veiled I'd ever seen, but some other 10 month olds I had seen had been vicious. Just stay...

Dubias are very easy to breed and are much cleaner than other roaches... they don't smell, they can't climb or fly, and they breed like crazy. If you have the space and ability to fill a food bowl every couple of days, I would seriously recommend doing it. It would save you some money too. I...

You can buy some from some members on this site for relatively cheap. They make a good replacement for crickets but you should still provide a variety of feeders. :)

Sandra made some awesome points about gutloading and feeder choices. How old is your cham? How do you know his tongue has an injury? How did it happen? As far as the crickets question, I would say stick to them. I know they can be a pain to maintain along with the smell, but it's worth it for...

Very cool looking setup! As mentioned I would add the strip of mesh to the back of the feeder. I don't know much about locusts since I live in the USA and they are illegal to buy here, but I would suggest hand feeding those with feeding tongs if you can, because I'm not sure how you can avoid...

As Jann said, they tend to become sleepier depending on the light outside (make sure to change the light schedule during daylight savings times). My 2 1/2 year old would eat less and less as he got older, there's nothing to be concerned about. If anything, you don't want them to eat too much...

Not to be a downer, but complaining won't do much good. I believe the water bowls in the cages are standard because of inspections (a water bowl tends to tell people that they have visible drinking water in their enclosures); nevertheless, it is still a risk because of stagnant water and...

The 'stealing my coffee' pick should be your avatar ;) Fantastic boy!
