Hi Everyone, My 3 month old veiled female doesn't seem to like crickets. She never eats them. Is this right? She seems to prefer worms. Thanks, Alison

My Girl My Jenny is a three months old veiled. I agree with all the above advice...excellent. Once you lift them out of their cage (don't grab from above like a predator), they will calm a bit. My Jenny loves being held in a terrycloth washcloth. She will always fall asleep but sometimes...

Hi Wow, I hope someone with more experience comes alongside to help you. I know that chams prefer a varied diet. I've been going through a full week of my cham not eating or drinking. My thread is located below: https://www.chameleonforums.com/utter-relief-jenny-will-21558/ Best of...

Awesome I'll check those out! Thank you so much!

Dripper! Hey Syn, yeah I did! I got the Big Dipper from Zoomed going right now. But I was just grateful to get the actual water into her mouth. I'm so relieved! Alison

Plants Hey Dave, I'm going to use a pothos plant for my Jenny - female veiled. From what I have read here, you need to fill up a tub with soap and water and wash the plant at least 3x to get any pesticides off of it. Rinse it REALLY WELL. Then you'll need to re-pot the plant with organic...

Thanks BocaJan. I needed to know that as well.

Our Jenny Ok, well - this isn't the BEST picture of her but she is sitting on a brown branch so her coloring isn't great but....this is our Jenny. :)

Dusting Hey Dave, I'm still new to all this too but it is important to dust the crickets with a calcium supplement. I'm sure you'll get better answers from the others. ;)

Thanks Everyone! Hey Everyone - Dodolah, yeah I know about mealworms and they aren't my favorite to give her but they are the smallest and we still have to coax her to open her mouth. Plus I don't have a distributor locally of silkworms or hornworms. :rolleyes: I'll have to order them via...

As some of you may know I have been having trouble with my new veiled female. She is only 3 months old and when we got her a new beautiful screened enclosure....she stopped eating. I have been 'force feeding' worms to her but this afternoon - after nearly a week - she ate four mealworms and...

This is very beneficial and helpful to us newbies! Thank you for posting this...I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Thanks! Thank you, Big R. That is exactly what I needed to know. So many pet stores are trying to sell me this and that and the other for my veiled. I appreciate it so much. :cool:

Hi Everyone! Another Newbie here....:p Can you tell me if I should get a lamp timer for my veiled? I have heard differing opinions. Should I let her be without a lamp at night? Thanks!

You're an angel! Thanks for posting a pic with it. :o I'm going right to Petco after work to get the linear bulb. Can I use the dome light as a basking light or no? Gosh, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your help! :)

Thank you! Hi dodolah - I visited your blog and I love it. I'm using a reflecting dome lamp with a uvb bulb. Would that be alright?

Hi Again! I'm in Naples. I really appreciate everyone's responses as I need all the help I can get! :p I want to be the most responsible cham owner I can be. I'll do that with the plants and also get those lights. Right now I just have the big Fluker light with a 75 watt bulb but I'll get...

Hi Everyone - we recently purchased our new veiled named Jenny. Can you tell me 1. what kind of plants would be best for her? She lives indoors and we're in Florida. I have heard that some plants that have been treated with insecticides can kill chams so I don't know where to buy or...

Uvb lamp?! Hi there - we're new chameleon owners and I was wondering what is wrong with the UVB lamps! We have a 75 watt uvb for our veiled chameleon. We recently bought her a 24x24x48 screened chameleon cage and she is in cage shock as well. We're taking her to the vet this morning...
