idk about flying crickets, but i've had an adult male dubia fly across the room and around once or twice before hitting the ground, probably covered 15-25 feet in total..... pretty amazing for something that can't fly.
I like panthers better overall, but there are definitely beautiful veils.
here's my male Jaws, when he's awake, he's pretty mean and unhandleable, he's asleep in this picture.
He is way more teal than this in real life.
man, when i first got him, i could get him to eat food items off my hand, or from tongs easily, but he started doing that less, up to this point where he hasn't been eating for a week. Bahhumbug.
Thanks a ton slik jim, camimom, and everyone else. I keep you posted.
I wanted to ask one more thing, how much can these guys be handled?
and I don't mean get him out and play with him. I realize it is a display animal that is high stress etc. But when I need to or have to move him etc for cleaning / maintenance. I just don't want to add any undue stress...

Thank you sir, I'll heed all your advice. Well except the mist king, they are expensive, at least for now. I've read a lot on bulbs, and I do agree the compacts suck compared to long tubes. They create intense spots. I went with a compact 10 though because from my personal research, and bulb...
more pictures, sure, let me upload some. I handled him ONCE, to get some pictures, I kept him on his stick that he has in his enclosure, and he walked onto my arm.
I keep the water dish for added humidity and i wash it out EVERY day. But if you still want me to remove it.
Behavior wise, I've noticed him exploring his cage a LOT, aka cage stress. He used to bask more and just chill compared to recently.

I didn't see a introduce your self section, so I thought I'd just post it up here.

I rescued a 'female' veiled chameleon from someone who had him in a glass enclosure and fed him only 5 crickets. It was immediately obvious that he was a male to me, tall veil and... duh the spurs.
I've had him for 2 months now and he has been doing great up until the last week. He has been...
