What's the best size for a colony to feed a single veiled? I'll be getting a new sub-adult/adult male soon and dubias just seem like a better choice and easier to keep. Do full grown veileds eat adult dubias, or do the roaches get too big? Any pointers people could suggest would be much...

Prior to my first chameleon passing away in April I had bought a small container of Dubia roaches, I ended up putting them in the same cage that I was keeping my crickets in. Well, when my veiled passed I only had a couple of crickets left and the roaches. Not thinking much of it I hadn't done...

Has anyone ever split their Mistking to try and keep their dripper topped off? It seems to me like the basic pump you get can handle up to several mist heads before loosing effectiveness. It would be nice if I didn't have to worry about checking on my dripper as frequently (I seem to have a...

I'm revamping my enclosure at the moment (it will house an adult veiled). Already created a custom drain base, and I added dragon ledges for supports. While attaching the ledges I was able to also incorporate some plexiglass on two sides to help keep the humidity up. I also ended up making a...

In all of my research looking for plants for my chameleon enclosure I've found a lot of lists about safe plants, but that usually seems to be all it is... With some help I'd be willing to put together a more comprehensive resource that would take a step beyond safe/unsafe. My goal would be to...

Does anyone know how much weight the frame of a reptibreeze xl can handle? I've been going through some different options for revamping my enclosure, and I came across this:Wall mounted planter bag. It seems like it would be the perfect kind of thing to not only get a really gorgeous living...

Anyone know the best way to keep silkworms for a while (or even how long they'll last)? I have two almost full pods from Mulberry farms that my cham didn't go through before he passed away this weekend and it's going to be at least a few weeks before I seriously consider getting another. I...

I've decided to create a better base for my cage. It should only add an inch or two to the total height. Essentially my idea is that I'll remove the bottom portion of the reptibreeze (the part that holds the white panel in), and the cage should sit down into the grooves. The front portion...

I have two pods of silkworms from Mulberry farms, they just arrived last Wednesday. I have only used one small silkworm from one of the pods, but my chameleon unfortunately passed away over the weekend and I would prefer not to see them go to waste since I'm unsure of when/if I will be getting...

My first chameleon, Sven passed away today at a little over 5 months old. He developed some sort of an eye issue over the past two weeks, and had trouble eating and keeping weight on. By the time I realized how bad he was getting, and was able to get him to a reptile vet, it was too late for...

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, male, ~5months old, I've had him for almost 3 months Handling - Almost never Feeding - Crickets (small) gutloaded with Flukers gutloader, feeding cup Supplements - dusted w/ Ca+D3 once a week, w/ Ca 5-6 days otherwise (both ZooMed)...

Does anyone have any thoughts on cup feeding younger veileds? Mine is about 5mo right now, but he was only about 2mo when I got him so I started cup feeding him to keep track of his food intake. The first week or so I couldn't tell if he was actually eating, and it was making me nervous. Now...

Hi everyone, I've already made a few posts here and there as I got set up, and as I began to figure out the foibles of maintaining proper setup, so I thought I'd introduce myself and my new cham! Sven is an ~5 month old veiled chameleon. He's definitely on the shy side so far, but I've...

I have a ~5 month old veiled and so far all I've been feeding him are small, gut-loaded and dusted crickets. I've tried offering him the occasional mealworm as a treat, but he seems to have no interest. What do you guys recommend for feeders, especially by size, for younger chams? I'd love to...

Hi all, My chameleon has just recently begun exhibiting some strange behavior over the weekend. He's taken to spending more of his time hiding, and seemingly hasn't touched any of the crickets I leave in his feeding cup. Normally when my wife or I spray down his cage we see him climb into...

Here's my setup. Took my wife and I a few hours tonight to get all the sticks sterilized and placed. The UV light's fixture is temporary, I'll be picking up another silver dome style to match the basking lamp. I need to pick up a dripper and put down a container to catch the excess. I'll also...

Hi all, I’ve begun to look into purchasing a chameleon, and I’m trying to make sure that I have all my i’s dotted and t’s crossed. I’m absolutely not going to follow through with getting a chameleon if I can’t ensure that I have the proper space and setup to do so. So I thought it made...
