I would definitely make that trade, but I don't think my mother would let me keep roaches in the house. Haha. We have a bunch of beardies, maybe she would if they were beneficial to them as well. Doubt it though. Thank you for your help, and maybe we can work out a trade for something else...

Yes, but as stated already, lights should be completely out for him at night time for him to sleep. --missed what you just said, sorry!

I get dandelion greens from Sprout's. They don't always have them though because they're apparently high in demand, so sometimes it's better to call and ask/have them held before you make the trip out. I dust with a mixture of ReptoLife Plus and ReptoCal, at every feeding, which is every...

You will get a lot of misleading info from people at pet stores, from what I have experienced. Some people do say that dusting twice a week is okay, I even have a book that says so, but generally it is recommended that you do more. As for your next steps, you should go out and buy a digital...

Since she is fed every other day now that she's old enough to be, I dust every time she is fed. I feed her 6-10 (usually around 8) large crickets, which are gutloaded with fluker's cricket quencher, fluker's high calcium cricket diet, dandelion greens, potatoes, carrots, etc. or, she is given...

So, I do not use substrate in my cham's cages specifically for the reason that I don't want them ingesting anything that isn't a part of their diet. However, I do have a hibiscus plant in each cage, which has been re-potted with organic soil. Today, I noticed that one of my chams (female...

A bunch of things need to be done to improve his health... For starters, we need more specific info. Temps (basking and general), brand/model of lights (are you using a coil type bulb?), any substrate being used, etc. Next: -the cage needs to be placed higher. Definitely not sitting on...

You can buy a swamp cooler at Home Depot and hook it up in your garage, or somewhere else in your house, and it will help save money & keep costs down. It does bring some humidity into the air, but it helps with the heat.

I had a fake plant in my room next to my chameleon's cage one time, and she was digging at the bottom of her cage all day long. Once I moved it out of her sight, she stopped digging... Is there a window or any fake plants by your cage? Your cham could be thinking he can get it to, and therefore...

One of my female veileds.

Rain and Aurora. Both female veiled.

Yeah, I bought one of my enclosures from there, and their prices aren't too terrible. I went about a month or so ago, and it was pretty gross. I mean, it's hard to be sanitary and clean when you have such a variety of animals to care for and when you breed all the feeders, but it was beyond what...

Mhmm. I've been to a few of the other pet/reptile shops around my area and every place seems just as bad, or worse, than the typical Petsmart/Petco. Pets Inc. (on Mill Ave.), for example, the guy didn't know when his baby veiled chams were born, when he was going to be able to sell them, or...

Actually, the book was published and "newly updated" in 2007.

lol, the book also suggests feeding spinach and broccoli bits! I guess this was a bad book to purchase.

I have the book, "Chameleons" by Ferguson/Kalisch/Keown, and under the feeding section for veiled chameleons, it says that you can feed young C.c.calyptratus alfalfa sprouts and pureed vegetable baby food. I haven't tired either, but I'm mostly wondering about the baby food. Has anyone tried...

Definitely agreed. By feeding her the amount that you are and providing higher temps, she's most likely to produce clutches about 3 times per year.

If you do have a UVB light, it may just need to be replaced. You should be replacing them every 6 months or so. Without the right kind of lighting, she can really suffer. If possible, take her out at least once a week for some real sun. And, like everyone else said, absolutely no...

Does anyone on here own any? And, if so, please post some pics. :)
