I got him for TikiTiki Reptiles out of Las Vegas, had him shipped in the middle of January of 2011, and yes he is about a year and a half. he really brightens up when he is sleeping almost a florescent color that would glow in a black light.
Every morning when I wake up I put 1 horn worm, 3 meal worms, and 10 crickets in the his feeder cup. Most of the time everything gone by noon, but tonight there were still 5 crickets left.
My guy came down off is basking spot went to his feeder cup ate the last five and continued to sleeping...
my guy must have an incredible internal clock, ever night at 7:50 he starts walking to he is sleeping spot, at 8 his light goes out. It's like he can tell its about to go out or something.
Example.
My male veiled sleeps on the same branch and same spot of the branch every night regardless of placement in the cage.
Whenever I reconfigure the branches in the cage, he will always sleep on the same branch. the branch used to be up high in the cage and he slept on it, now the...
My male veiled is a little over a year old now, perfectly healthy.
He never seems to get his shed completely off of him before the next shed.
His cage is misted every two hours for two minutes intervals with a mist king.
The temps in the basking spot is 90f, and around 80 77 average...

I never see him drink water, but i look at his poo and it shows he is plenty hydrated.
I have a mistking system for my chameleon, I ordered it about 6 months ago, it works wonderful.
my system has two spray tips, I'm having an issue with clogging of the tips, sometimes so bad that one tip wont spray, and the other just drips. I'm thinking its because of the water I'm using, just...
I'll monitor him over the next week or so and see what happens.
I can't do very much for the temps, our house doesnt have central air, so at night we just have fans blowing, so the temp drop off isnt very much
my chameleon has been sleeping past wake up time, which is 8:00, I just came in at 11 and he was still asleep where he was last night.
