well you could pop the crickets in the fridge for a little while before you offer them to your cham. Being cold slows crickets right down and would give you cham a better chance of catching them.

Wow is that the same chameleon! His veil or what ever it is called has actually changed shape! Can they do that?

I am still quite squeamish but it has gotten better with time LOL. I found that disposable gloves (or thin plastic buttie bags over my hands) helped when having to deal with the critters because I could not stand them touching me! I am and have always been OK with wax worms - these should only...

Wow that is really cool! Very impresive results. Do you use the exact same salsa mix every time or do you vary it depending on what is available? In some gutloads such as the one at adcham they use all kinds of stuff egg, powdered milk, nuts etc (presumably to get the mix of nutrients right...

I have never tried feeding worms to a cham! I have also never heard of beaver fever????? Do you have a link to information please. Oh and what part of the world do you find this?

so does the chams not liking dark colours only apply if people wear black???? There must be research that has been done on the effect of colours on our chams?

I personally prefer the idea of greens in vivs however there does seem to be very differeing oppinions that I keep coming across. What colours can your chams see in their enclosure? I noticed on another post on the forum that a member said they were going to change the colour of their...

sounds good do you have pictures?

plump belly maybe with lumpy egg shapes showing/colouration/restless behaviour/digging/drinking more but going off food when close to laying. I am sure that there are lots of other people on this forum who could answer this question better than me though LOL.

http://www.chameleonnews.com/?page=article&id=164 ofcause this is not intended as a guide for veileds but I imagine that the colourations would be similar

Hey thanks folks! I found that colouration chart you mentioned and it is really interesting and helpful :D

I use half regular cold tap water and half boiled filtered water from my kettle.

oh wow! so who is working on this? I would be very interested in the results :) when will it be available?

i was just wondering if there was any kind of reference on the colour changing of chameleons? Somthing which actually shows you the different colour changes and various dialects of species - their possible meanings in the various conditions and situations? Wow now that would be fantastic! :p

veileds 1.2:D and loads of other animals!!!!!!!!

yes i am a bit confused on this issue also and would love to hear what other veiled cham owners prefer. i have read that 40% humidity is the best for veileds but this does seem very low to me with the amount of misting that is recomended. certaily after misting the humidity is higher sometimes...

well i would love to think that she is a happy happy cham LOL. She is quite a laid back lady :)

she has never seen a male but when gravid her spots darken slightly and they also darken sometimes when outside in the sunshine! Her overal bright green colour never changes though LOL.

I was just wondering if anyone had come across a chameleon who did not have the abuility to change colour? My female veiled has never ever gone dark? The only colour change that I have found is that her spots go darker! Apart from that she developed orangy stripes when she was gravid the first...

the picture in this post is no longer available. Does anyone have a similar picture or a link to one for me to see please? My new cham has what I think is a dead end to his tail and a lighter part just above it which be part of a bad shed I guess.
