My veiled is 5 months old. When should I introduce plant matter into his diet? What should I start with? What are other good choices?

Do you need to have daylight bulbs/plant lights over the cage in order to get the necessary UVA? I know UVB can't get through windows (that's what the Reptisun 5.0 is for), but can UVA? Placing my cage near a sunny window (half shade, half sun during the afternoon hours). I have the...

Really that easy?!

True, true!

Thanks for getting back to me so fast!!! How do you breed them? Are they easy to raise and gutload? I would love to not have to give so much money to the pet store for crickets. I love my reptiles, but I hate their food!

Can some one direct me to a link that will teach me how to breed/grow dubias?

I know roaches are a great feeder option, but I'm worried that if a few escape they might infest my house. :eek: Is this a crazy fear?

How do you suspend your branches on the screen?

I'm so glad to read a post from someone near me!!! We are getting a veiled soon and I've been worried about the lower fall/winter humidity levels. Do you air condition much in the summer? The humidity levels and temps can get pretty high. Any advice you can give me about raising a chameleon...

How long do you have to let it air out before you can put them back in the cage?

:confused: I live in Maine, USA. During the summer we have an abundance of Japanese beetles feeding on our local rose bushes (chem. free). Can we feed these to a veiled cham? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_beetle

This sounds great! I'll look into it.

best of luck! i like your chameleon and your nails :)

Thanks everyone! Your advice will really help me fine tune my new set up!!!

Which one is better for a veiled cham: in-cage rain system or a misting system? Do you think your veiled prefers one over the other? Are there health benefits of either one or are they pretty much the same as long as they hydrate and keep humidity up. I have a screen 4X2X2 cage with...

This sounds just like my situation. I look forward to hearing the advice that will follow.

What do you use to disinfect when you spot clean daily and during the deep clean/complete cage clean? I read that using white vinegar and peroxide is a cheap and relatively safe way to go. I worry about the bleach/dish soap mix being too harsh even if I rinse well. Our cage is 4x2x2--a little...

What do I need to do to clean/sanitize branches from outside before I put them in my veiled's cage? what will happen if I just put them in the cage without pre-treating?

I thought that the reptisun 10.0 was way too much UV. How do lighting reqirements differ between babies and adults?

I'm neck deep in my research on veiled chameleons. No cham yet. I have a 4x2x2 cage. I'm working on a watering system and lighting now. I want to get all the glitches out before I bring home my new buddy. I don't want to spend HUGE money, but I want to get it right. I know mercury vapor...
