My veiled still tries to hide everytime he sees me. I may need to try the mirror thing just to see if he colors up. His normal color is not too spectacular. Glad I am not a big handler of my herps......

Anybody who lives in South Florida and tells you they have never had a Palmetto Bug in the house is lying.......:p

I do not use pesticides in my house due to having herps and fish for many years....

So I'm forceping a couple of roaches from their box into the container I dust in before feeding, and I see an "escapee" running across the counter. I grab it with the forceps to return it to the roach motel, and I realize it is not in fact an escapee (obviously a different species).:p Free...

My veiled is currently in the middle of a room with a dozen snake cages. I never even seen him "turn sideways" to hide from any of them as he will do each time I enter the room. Therefore, I don't think they bother him too much. ;)

Are you serious?? Where is that in the contest rules? Did not know there was a cool kids club here or that ability to judge photos depends on post count..... But thank you for the explanation.

Why does the "vote" button take me to a page which tells me I have already voted when I have not??:mad:

They really like reality TV. That's why they call them dumb animals.....:)

So far the roaches are the only things he is eating.....

Yep!! Hey, don't pick on my self collected roaches.......:D There are advantages of being a sloppy housekeeper!! (Kidding, I caught them herping a couple of counties away)

After much helpful advice, I have my setup about finalized. He is finally drinking(when I drown him a bit,"mist" is a figure of speech:D)and eating roaches set in front of him, but seems to have trouble finding the feeding station. I added a second small one after the photo right near the...

Name your Chameleons?? I have never named my reptiles(they don't come when you call them:p). But from a couple of weeks browsing here, it seems the majority do name their Chams! True?? If I go with the flow, I'm considering Marty Feldman......

even for myself. :) So making up a fancy gutload recipe is unlikely!:o And since I'm not sure I can get him on crickets, it does not make sense to mailorder yet. So I would like to pick up something commercial locally. But there seems some conflicting info in past threads I've searched...

You use bougainvillea?? Man, I'd stick myself everytime.....:p Have you ever tried either bougainvillea or hibiscus indoors??

Thanks guys....

I wanted to start a new thread to avoid the WC/CB flaming.... My guy finally ate today.:D It is possible he had taken a few before, but I won't know for sure until I clean the cage tomorrow when I add the softliner. But this evening I put one of my collected roaches on a branch near him. I...

Well, I did search : tap water. The search engine gave me 20 pages on "water" and told me tap was too short a word to be searched.:mad:Then I searched "tap water" in quotes and got zero findings. So the site either needs a better search engine or I missed the instructions how to avoid this...

Finally got my guy to drink avidly last night using very hot tap water as recomended somewhere here. Before that I was warming the water bottle under hot water but using bottled spring water and I never saw him drink. I always use bottled water for my herps since I'm an aquarist too, and we...

Getting back on topic: For the first time I saw him actively drinking today and much less afraid of the mister. :) Hopefully eating is the next step! Got the Softliner today,it looks like I have to take the cage apart to use it. :( I'll see if I can do so without too much stress.Then I...

LOL Thanks, I'm trying. I have him set up as recommended now. I just wish he would settle down and eat. I did collect him some juicy wild roaches today during my herping trip, so we will see if he likes those better than the crickets and Superworms I have tried. I did not realize they...
