No, you won't seen color like that in a hatchling Veiled hatchlings don't show more than a hint of the colors they will display as adults. As brad pointed out, these hints are very subtle. The coloration you see in the picture in the photo contest is mature adult coloration. Your best bet would...

Valid point... Many veiled keepers for years beleived veileds to be tolerant of arid conditions based on photos and weather data of Yemen, but recent research has shown veilded are more prolific in coastal/valley areas of high humidity, completely different than the Yemen most people picture...

Both of my panthers enjoy them... They readily accept them if I place them on a branch or on the screen within 6-12 inches of them. Once the worms get larger(3" plus range)only my male will accept them, and usually only 1 a day. At that size they must equal 15-20 crickets in weight, although...

Will has a valid point... No matter what, if it is possible to veiw vote counts before the end of the contest, some may be influenced. If someone was desperate enough to veiw vote counts with another screen name or ask another member before voting, they can't think for themselves and thier vote...

poll status What about making vote count veiwable only to members who have already voted.

Uva/uvb Most basking heat lamps provide some amount of UVA, but only special florescents and mercury vapor bulbs give both UVA and UVB. Mercury vapor is advertised as providing both heat and UVB, but is really only practical with really large setups. The best bet for a cage your size is the...

Yes, they are insectivores It's kind of complicated feeding your insectivore another insectivore. You have to have prey items for your prey items. You can keep mantids in just about any container with a ventilated lid. The recenly hatched babies can eat fruitflies, which is no problem for me...

Sniper after catching sight of his girlfriend

Here is a weather chart of Antisiranana, a city in the range of the Panther Chameleon. I thought it might be of interest to any other obsessive chameleon owners out there. I am always looking for new data in an attempt to duplicate ideal conditions for my chams. One thing I noticed is that the...

"Sniper", my male ambilobe panther chameleon(furcifer pardalis) lit up at 7 months old.

Beefy chams... I had the same thought as Will when I saw your photos. Those are some nice thick looking chameleons. Thanks for posting the photos, keep 'em coming.

Sniper caught a glimpse of Cinnamon three weeks ago when I was moving them indoors for a spell when it cooled off here in S. Florida. She gaped and displayed threat coloration at his sight. Ever since then he has been restless, so once they were back outdoors, I aimed a 50 watt heat lamp at...

The first of 15 chinese praying mantis oothecas I bought on ebay hatched today. It looks like there are at least 200 of them. They are about 1/2 inch long each but thier stick like bodies make them the equivalent of a 1/4inch cricket, they look like huge mosquitos at first glance. My 7 month old...

Just a thought... If the pet store has to order it special why can't they get a veiled? The market is flooded with them. You will find way more information specifically on veilds than on any other species. Why not order one yourself directly from a breeder. You will be able to get whatever kind...

Here is a quote from the article on calcium I read in the chameleon online e-zine. It was written by Sue Donoghue VMD, DACVN. I'm not sure where she got that info, but it makes sense to me(fresh is better). Inside vertebrates, about 99% of the body's calcium is in bone. Invertebrates, in...

RE:what are superworms... Generally "superworm" refers to a species called Zophobas morio which look similar to mealworms but are larger and darker colored. They are a good supplemental feeder. However, petstores also sell a larger mealworm which was grown to a larger size using growth hormone...

Huge cage or free range species. Hi again fellow S. Florida dweller. Some things to keep in mind about melleri: The husbandry of meller's is quite different from your veiled chameleon. Veileds can tolerate much higher temps, that is why it's OK to keep them outside in S. Florida even in the...

I just got 200 blatta lateralis and want to get a colony going capable of serving as the staple for a pair of panther chams. I have them in a 20 gallon long. Will that be big enough? Keep in mind that by staple I mean about 30% of the diet. I like to provide a lot of variety including silkworms...

Dodge commercial Yeah, I saw it. My wife is amazed that I seem to find chameleons while channel surfing on a regular basis. She says I'm obsessed. I don't deny it.
