My Male Veiled, about 6 months old, has gone on a "feeding strike" for the last few days. I have fed him a variety of insects the entire time I have owned him-- primarily gutloaded and dusted crickets and dubia roaches, with some superworms and occasional silkworms and hornworms. Whenever I...

I am setting up my dripper. When the water drips from the tube onto the top screen, it kind of pools up on top of the screen, and drips in all different places. Is there a way to control where the water drips from, without cutting a hole in the screen for the tube to go through? Also...

Hi, When I free-range crickets in my Reptibreeze, most of them climb straight to the top of the cage, and they hide in the top corners of the cage. My chameleon never seems to find them when they are hiding there-- They even stick their heads in and you can barely see them. Is this...

Do Veiled Chameleons need Vegetables or Fruits in their diet? Or will they be fine on just Insects? I only have fake plants in my cage, so was just wondering if this was a nutritional concern or not.

I have been putting my Dry Food and Water Crystals, on the floor of the container. But the food quickly gets scattered around and mixed up with their droppings, and the water crystals also get dirty and mixed up with droppings. I cant find anything to use as a dish that has an edge, that the...

I have noticed that my 5 month old male veiled frequently gapes at his basking spot. His cage is 4' tall, and is 85.4 degrees at the basking spot where he is gaping. The temperature at the bottom of the cage is 72-75 degrees, so he has plenty of temperature range to move to. He is will...

I am having a difficult time getting my 5 Month Old veiled chameleon to feed from tongs or from my hand. I have tried crickets, dubia roaches, hornworms, butterworms, and superworms-- He eats all of these when they are loose in his cage, or in a feeding cup. But when I hold food in front...

Is it OK to use Powdered Bug Burger (not mixed with water and cooked), to Gutload Mealworms, Superworms, Roaches, and/or Crickets? I just wonder if you dont add water, will the "Gel" portion of the powder cause a problem or dehydrate the feeders?

I tried hornworms for the first time today... My veiled was interested in the first one I put in his cage, right away. But, the first two times he shot at it, the Suction Cups on the Hornworms Feet were stronger than my veiled's tongue, and he couldnt pull it off the floor of the cage...

I have had my baby veiled in a smaller screen cage with a CFL 5.0 UVB Bulb. Tomorrow, I am upgrading him to a 2'x2'x4' screen cage, and plan to get a Tube UVB Light, for the bigger cage. Is it better to get a 10.0 UVB or a 5.0 UVB? Is there any reason not to get the Stronger 10.0 UVB...

Hi, I have had my male veiled chameleon for about 2 months, and he was about 2 months old when I got him, so he is now about 4 months old. Today, he is pacing all over his cage, on the ground and all over the vines. I have read that when they are "teenagers" they will go through a period...
