I've read on different sites that crickets are actually not needed at all, and that most people use them because they're the easiest to come by. I will give him crickets every now and then, but I'd rather not buy them from a pet store and the online farms (they do have much healthier crickets)...

Hello fellow chameleon owners! I own an 8 month old male Veiled. I'm trying to take him off crickets for the fear of pin worms (my gf's bearded dragon eats the same crickets we get at Petsmart, and they gave her pinworms and another virus, so no more crickets for a while, at least not from...

Wow look at that casque! My veiled is about a month or so younger and his casque is still pretty tiny, hope his gets that big! Great looking veiled!

Haha okay now that everyone's had their fun picking at everybody, thank you for the comments. And yeah he supports himself very well, and that was on a wooden table with absolutely NO grip at all. I use calcium w/o d3 every feeding, calcium w/d3 twice a month and multivitamins twice a month. I...

Say hello to Bowser He hates the camera. What do you guys think? I just got him off his hunger strike and he's been looking great lately. Just thought I'd show him off.

Dude as far as his color goes, name him Blastoise.

wow Darwin's colors are awesome, they really resemble my guy Bowser's colors. He's a little younger than Darwin, he hasn't quite gotten his tall casque yet. But the colors are almost identical! Awesome pics!

I have herptivite vitamin supplements that contain calcium w/o d3, but i couldn't find a supplement of JUST calcium w/o d3, and I don't want to dust with full on vitamin supplement every day. I'd rather dust with only calcium every day. What products of just calcium w/o d3 are there on the market?

Okay that's what I thought. that's what I'm doing now. I now have him eating crickets dusted with herptivite reptile vitamins (has calcium w/0 d3 in it), while the crickets are being gut loaded with orange cubes, mustard greens, kale, carrots, and apples. I have repti-glo 5.0 compact flourescent...

So when you guys say do not position it between glass or plastic, does that include aluminum screen cage as well? Do i need the actual light INSIDE the cage itself? Wouldn't that be dangerous? Also, I really don't understand the difference between an exo-terra bulb and a zoomed bulb other than a...

Here's some info on him. I use a repti-glo 5.0 UVB light, with a basking bulb as well that keeps his basking area roughly 85 degrees or so. I gut load the crickets with cricket-quencher/that fluker's orange cubes stuff, as well as kale, carrots, apples, mustard greens. I guess it's the dusting...

Here is a picture of him. and here is his setup. There's an exo-terra 5.0 UVB lamp in the back, and in the front is a basking lamp that keeps the temperature in the basking area about 85. I have also attached a feeder cup to his basking branch since yesterday in hopes he might...

That's an awesome set up! Have you considered making them to order for people interested in custom-built cages? It's be a good profit maker. Even if you sold them cheaper than the leading brand (like reptarium screen cages. the same size reptarium goes for over a hundred).

That backdrop is awesome! Where'd you get it? And yeah, calcium w/o d3 every other day is good. Beautiful chameleon btw. If you are unsure whether or not it's a boy/girl, look for tarsal spurs (little bumps on the back ankles, almost a stubby 3rd toe).

I heard dusting every day is too much for them, plus I gut load my crickets so he gets a lot of vitamins and stuff from that. I also bring him outside into the sun when weather permits for a bit. I don't want to give him too much vitamins/calcium and stuff like that.

Thanks for the all the suggestions! I'll try them all out. I also just made a feeder cup to put some crix/worms in to see if he might get used to that. I tied the cup around his basking branch for easy viewing/access. Hope it works, I'm worried about him.

I thought about doing that, but I thought crickets were supposed to be their main diet? and worms every now and then. I'm just scared the superworms they sell at the petstore are too big for him, and I don't know where to buy roaches.

Hey guys! I have a male veiled chameleon, roughly 6 months old, give or take. From when I got him, he was always really easy to hand feed. I would just dangle crickets in front of him and he'd go for it, sometimes from the back of the cage he'd see them and come all the way to the front. It was...
