in addition to the info I already posted * Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Veiled, believe female, think 2-3 months old, only had about 3-4 weeks. * Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Only when cleaning...

Actually I think I did raise up the basking light so that it is more like 85. I just bought a shipment of crickets that are 1/2". But some are a little smaller than others. I try to watch out and not feed the bigger ones. I also know about the rule of no bigger than the space between the...

Okay, here's the story. I tried to find the "ask for help" thing and couldn't find it..... So... I have a veiled that I believe is about 2-3 months old (probably measures about 2 & 1/2 inches without tail). She is currently in a 10 gallon tank with a screen top ( I am finishing the screen...

Mine is about the same size as your new baby. I have been posting on the forum with questions as well. I found out I wasn't feeding enough crickets..... so I started offering a lot more. Well, he doesn't eat them all. And he gets too freaked out if I start rooting around in the tank to get...

Newest update :) I had given him 8 crickets yesterday morning, and at one point when I cleaned his cage there were three left... so he had eaten five my say midday. Around dinner time he had two that I could see. Last night at bedtime I only spotted one I think it was, so I didn't give him...

Just cleaned Stitch's cage... three crickets left, so he ate five this morning. I will probably only give him about four tonight, which would equal nine for the day. I will see if he finishes the three in his cage during the day today, and can go from there for tonight...

Okay, here's a quick update... When I fed Stitch this morning I gave him about 8 crickets dusted lightly with the Repti-Calcium without the D3. When I gave a quick look a couple hours later, I only see one cricket left! I could have missed one hiding, but I think he ate the majority. Yay! I...

OMG.... I feel awful that I haven't been feeding him nearly enough :( :( :( Starting this morning he will get about 8 crickets, and then I will give him another 8 later this afternoon/ evening. I am so mad that I couldn't find the info on here before now, and that the pet store is so...

Wow!!! Wow, I followed a link to a similar thread which had been posted by another new owner. They had outlined what they were doing for their three month old (which I believe mine to be in the neighborhood of)... and they were feeding 15 crickets a day!!!!!!! Wow, the responses to what the...

Thanks again everyone for the info/ advice. Kinyonga, very useful information and I really appreciate it (by the way you mentioned my parents and I visiting the links you included... I am 40, lol but thanks for that :) Anyway, I had not checked back on this thread and seen your latest post...

I posted about my first veiled chameleon that I bought a couple of weeks ago in the general discussion. I forgot to ask the amount that I should be feeding him/ her...? The pet store offered very minimal care info. They said they were giving 3-4 crickets a day. I had to go in there today for...

Oh, one more thing.... I notice that he has calcium dust around his nostrils..... this worries me, should it? I guess once I get the new supplement, I should cut back on the amount I dust with?

Thanks so much! Yes, I will move the light so that the temp is in the 80's. I can't help but worry about all my critters & try to do what's best for them. We have a farm with horses, dogs, birds, etc. They are all our "kids" :D

Hi everyone, I bought a baby veiled chameleon a few weeks ago. I had done quite a bit of research and thought I had the basics covered before I went and bought him. Good thing I did some research because the pet store I bought him from gave me NO INFO on his care really. Here are a few of...
