They're gnats probably!!! I hate them! They like the moisture from misting and live and lay eggs in the soil. I already had to repot my plant twice to get them away, but they always return a couple months later.

Male veiled chameleons have spurs on the back of their foot like this: If it doesn't, you may have a female. It also looks really small and skinny for 8 months.

I don't hold my chameleon either... He seems happy in his cage and I'm actually a little bit scared to even try lol.

Looks normal and healthy to me! I would guess like... 8-9 months!

I feed my 4 month old veiled 20-30 small crickets a day... 10 is way too few!

I like to mist for 2-4 minutes and only 3 times a day.

I have never heard in my life anyone feeding a chameleon 3 crickets a day. Less than a year isn't even full mature yet... you should feed everyday like however much maintains your chameleon at a good weight at least 6-10, not 3...

Every other day means feed one day, skip the next day, and feed the following day. However, most people feed their chameleons everyday and I recommend feeding everyday like 10-15 crickets.

10 is not that many... you can feed him more.

My baby veiled does that when he is starting to shed. He shed again after two weeks, one week is kind of weird though.

I think preying mantises are even harder to take care of because I heard they kill each other and you soon have to separate them. You also have to feed them either fruit flies or pinhead crickets anyway... I hate crickets too!!

Being outside in the shade still gets more UVB than being under lights! Maybe you can dust with D3 once a month instead?

A house bulb is fine, you don't ever need a reptile bulb unless you want to. The watt depends on the basking temperature... should be around 80.

I've never had a baby veiled show color this early! He's not even 4 months old. When he's relaxed he's light turquoise and yellow. It's so weird seeing such a little chameleon with turquoise and yellow stripes!

Where do you get all of your branches?

You should fill out the form to ask for help. Also, it is not recommended to have any kind of substrate on the floor. It should just be bare lined with paper towels or something.

Aluminum and deep :)

My veiled is only 3.5 months and he's already showing yellow and light blue!

You don't need a water dish or a bubbler. You should mist the cage for a couple of minutes several times a day and your chameleon will drink off of the leaves in the enclosure.

My chameleon HATES red. Whenever I wear something red he runs away...
