The second one is great :D

Amen! You've hit the nail on the head with that one.

Great news! :)

Great! Thanks for the clarification. That seems to be common advice but I'm not sure us newbies get that distinction right off the bat. :D

Ah - I always wondered if there was a distinction between width and length when it came to feeders. So would it be acceptable to feed, say, a superworm that was longer than that space, but not as wide?

Chameleon Info: • Your Chameleon – Veiled, Male, approximately 4 months old. I have had him for a little over a week. • Handling – He was only handled once when transferring him to his new cage initially. Not since. • Feeding – So far only crickets (10-12 per day, each morning), superworms...

I really like this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnNl5IMXFCI Adjust sizes accordingly based on your needs.

I'll have to say veileds, only because that's what I've owned :). However I would love to be the proud owner of a panther someday as well...

It's sad how paranoid we cham owners can get over the littlest things...lol :)

Oh, thanks! And also, Google is my friend. I didn't realize it was a brand name. Is this it?: "Phifer "Pet Screen" meets the needs of pet owners by resisting tears and punctures caused by dogs and cats. Made of strong vinyl-coated polyester, "Pet Screen" is seven times stronger than...

Ha - mine did the exact same thing, and for the same reason. Once I got a good amount of horizontal pathways up, he began using those. I also think it takes them a little time to get familiar with the various ways to get around in their new home.

He's such a cutie. I would echo the comments above. Take a look at the caresheets and if you have any additional questions please post. Some basic questions: Basking temperature? Ambient temperature? What are you using for UVB light? When do you mist (and for how long)? Humidity...

If I were you I would give him a week or two to simply adjust to the new surroundings and limit any handling of him during that time. You want to minimize stress during this period. As far as a shower goes, you basically put the cham on a plant in the shower, and point the shower head towards...

When you folks say "pet screen" what exactly are you referring to?

Thanks for the recommendation! That's what I was leaning towards. Now I'll have to be on poop patrol.

Hi everyone, What is the current thinking related to wellness checkups. For a new chameleon, captive-breed, sourced from a reputable breeder, is a "wellness" visit within the first weeks of ownership recommended? I know the primary purpose would be to test for worms, I'm just not sure of the...

Love it! It's a cham "Mobile Home"!

Hi Russell! He looks great!

This will be more relevant for when they hatch, but definitely check out: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/chameleons/ It's the new care center on the forum. There is a LOT of good info there that can help answer many basic husbandry questions for when your little guys and girls emerge.

Thanks! I'll let him know - he loves being praised :)
