Sorry to hear of your misfortune, especially when they are almost there! Hopefully the rest will be okay.
should have put a *WARNING graphic* in title (thats just me), but I would have taken a photo myself as well
I second Sandra. Raising 25+ babies to an age safe to ship will require all of your time and run you up a very large bill. You must first be well researched and prepared.
I'm not trying to discourage you. Just trying to promote responsible breeding.
No, veiled chams (the ones at pet stores) are mainly insectivores..crickets, flies, worms, locusts, roaches, etc. Although I suppose it's not unheard of.
I would imagine that the vegis were put in there for cricket food.
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for all the advice. Dexter (what I named him) has been thriving! ..Eating drinking and pooping every day
The biggest change I made was removing the hibiscus and a few of the fake plants. I'll save those for his adult setup. As you can see the cage is a lot more bare...
Chameleons Northwest is based in Graham, WA.

I would call and inquire about what they will have towards the end of the summer. You can probably put down a deposit and get on a waiting list. Local pickup is great if you ask me. You avoid the live shipping fee...
You can still have a lid on to make sure dust and other matter does not get in. Just don't make it airtight - or else you created a vacuum and you won't have any flow. Just have it loosely sit on top or loosely threaded.
do you have a lid/cap on the jug? If so, unscrew it so that the water is exposed to the atmosphere. If it is on too tight, water will not start flowing without some outside force.
Only thing I can think of. If not, it must have something to do with your valve.
Everybody, thank you for all the advice. I removed a lot of the artificial stuff that the crickets used to post in and will save it for his adult cage - doesn't look like a rain forest now. I also took the better sized crickets out and released them..I didn't want to break their little legs lol...
Pictures should work now. I don't mean to sound defensive and was going to check out your blog regardless :) I am just stressed over the current situation.
As for Boski, I will never know what happened. He started becoming slower and lethargic a week before he passed. I could not afford...
