Nice setup. I'm sure you will have one very happy cham. What kind of UVB light do you have on top there? Just curious.

On a serious note, is winter mating time for Veileds? I am curious.

I've got you all beat. I had family over for Thanksgiving and my aunt and my great Grandmother have never seen my Veileds before. They were intrested so I brought them in my cham room. My little female wasn't in a good mood so I opened my males cage and as usual he got on the door and hung out...

You can gutload supers with all sorts of stuff. Carrots (not alot though), Apples, Potato. (These make a fairly cheap (although not the best nutritionally) moisture source, especially if you keep large amounts of superworms.) Mustard, Collard, & Turnip Greens, Kale, Rapini, Watercress...

Well I have heard a few others like myself that use mainly Supers. But I dont know if that is okay for Panthers. Might ask around about that. I do mix it up everyother week and get some crix and once a month I order either Silkies or Hornworms.

If he refuses the crix much longer, I'd keep him off them for a littlewhile. Maybe a month or so. Then when you reintroduce the crix, I bet he zaps them straight away. Thats how my male Veiled is. Crix are more like a treat to him, with supers being the staple.

#1 - Where can I find some sort of source referring to some sort of definitive 'guide' that tells me virtually everything I need to know about getting, caring for, and keeping a pet chameleon for a long healthy life. I saw the sticky, but I'm looking for more specifics. "Raising Kitty" is...

I personally have never, not once, been able to mist while keeping the bottom dry. The only way I could see someone doing that is by squirting water straight into their chams mouth! I guess if you really did do one squirt every 10-20 seconds you might at least be able to keep the bottom from...

What kind of UVB light do you use?

Try to not let any excess feeders stay over night. The bites they dish out could get infected, which could leave you with a mess of problems.

Large Crix? Adult crix will def. try to nibble on a cham if they've been without food. I'm sure that would freak out any sleeping cham.

Do you have any loose feeders in his cage? Maybe one nibbled on him? That is an odd situation you have, very intresting.

First off, never peel a chams skin, its bad bad bad. Second, how old is she? The older a cham gets the longer a shed takes. My big Veiled, 14 months old, sheds real slow. Its more of a "peel" than the "pop" they have when their babies.

http://www.uvguide.co.uk/phototherapyphosphor.htm Site says why compacts are bad. Trust us on this, its gotta go.

Man that second pic is sweet! Very nice!

Awesome match up Roni!!

I know it is said that breeding a female gives her a half-life so does it stand that the more you breed her the shorter her life? So are you planning on keeping any "Kittens"?

Thanks for your help!

Alot of veiled owners actually use a thick style of gloves for handling. I know I do! Although, the glove only upsets my guy even more. Sometimes he approaches me when I have his viv open and wants to climb out. Really its up to them if you will get along together. Just keep treating him right...

So 2 will do. Thanks for the tip. I use Supers as the staple feeder for my big guy so I know about letting them molt before feeding but with my Supers I have a colony about 200 strong so I never really have trouble finding any, plus I put a few in isolation to produce more beetles so that causes...
