I'm looking for a fairly small hood that can hold both my heat bulb and my uvb bulb. I know they are only about $30-$40 but I just thought I would post in case theres a chance someone has an old one lying around that they don't use that they could sell me for fairly cheap. Or if anyone knows if...
So usually My chams light comes on about the time I'm getting ready for work or class and I drop some crickets in before I leave so he can hunt and eat and still have enough time to digest before lights out. I usually don't get home before lights out or if I do its usually not enough time so he...
When do baby veiled chameleons start to develop more colors. I currently have 2-3 month old male veiled chameleon. He only displays shades of green. When will he start to show more colors like red, blue, orange, yellow, etc.? Thanks:)
Is it normal/okay for my cham to sleep hanging upside down? Do you think he will fall? Should I wake him up and move him?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I've had my male veiled chameleon named Malibu for almost a month and a half and so far have absolutely loved having this little dude! :D I was told he is about 2 months old. I may be just a worrier but I think he seems kind of skinny /: I feed him about 8-15 1/4" crickets a day or more if he...
Wow thanks! Thats good to hear, I hardly see him drink after misting or from his dripper so I was starting to get worried. This is my first chameleon and I give this little dude lots of attention and always do my best to make sure he's getting what he needs. Still learning as I go along but very...
He may be less, I was told he was 2-3 months when I got him and that was about a month or so ago, so I was guestimating lol.
Malibu does enjoy being outdoors though! I plan on getting a nice plant for him soon, but for now he doesnt seem to mind just basking on my hand.:D When he does get a...
So today was nice and warm, in the high 80's. The sky was clear and there wasn't much wind, so it was nice and sunny. I decided I wanted to sit outside and thought I should bring Malibu along with me to hangout. :) so i did!! and I also took some pictures. He is between 3-4 months and is a male...

Well its good to know I'm not the only one with a very hungry cham. I guess it means they're healthy! although too bad crickets aren't free haha :) I love watching them eat though its very cool to watch.
So I've been noticing how much money i've spent on crickets and I have to buy new crickets every few days as my baby veiled eats about 8-15 small crickets a day. So I was looking online for feeder crickets in order to save money. I found both 250 and 500 crickets for fairly cheap. As of right...
Thanks guys!
Yes I have two live plants in the enclosure, one medium pathos and a small schefflera. The enclosure isn't necessarily close to any windows.

I"m having trouble keeping the humidity in my veileds enclosure up. I woke up this morning and the humidity was only at about 20%! So I sprayed the plants and the enclosure with some warm water and after some time I managed to get the humidity up to about 40%. I'm still working on getting it up...
When will it be okay for me to start handling him? I want him to be tame and not dread handling at some point and I want him to get used to me.
Also how many hours a day should babies be sleeping. Hes on a vine basking under his heat lamp with his eyes closed, is he sleeping or just enjoying...
I put about 10 extra small crickets into my chameleons cage this morning and he ate ALL of them! It was pretty cool watching him eat haha and hes been displaying beautiful colors all day, seems as though hes beginning to get comfortable in his new home.
