Hi there,
So I purchased a new Reptibreeze XL for Diesel. I want to ask what your veiled prefer branches or perches? Where did you purchase your veiled's preferred decor? I currently have a ficus tree, a pothos and several plastic plants. I also have 1 bendable branch from the petstore in...
Hi there,
So Diesel is my ~4-5 month old male, Veiled Chameleon. We have had him almost 4 months. In that time we have handled him 4-5 times. He has been fed mainly gut loaded crickets (10-15 daily) since we brought him home. We have also given mealworms, waxworks and Superworms as treats...
Hi there!
Well Diesel still isn't readily eating crickets like he had been. Even holding off feeding for a day didn't make much of a difference. He is active and normal bm/urinates. So I ask, how many worms to feed for a meal? I have mealworms, waxworms and super worms. He ate 3 super worms...
He will readily eat Superworms but seems to be ignoring his usual cricket meals. He has normal bms and urates. He is moving about and basking normally. Any advice? Btw, I have only offered 2 Superwoms yesterday and 2 today. Thanks!
Thank you for recommending the misting system for Diesel! I love it and D actually doesn't run when it comes on, like he did when I sprayed the enclosure. The installation gave us a chance to get Diesel out for some exploration. He seemed to enjoy it once he was out of his enclosure.
Hi there,
I have been using the calcium powder WITH D3 almost daily until I saw on this forum about toxicity. I ordered it WITHOUT D3 from Amazon and just received it yesterday. I have been giving Diesel D3 since 8/31. Is it too late for my little man? I am watching him like crazy. He is...
Hi there,
I am headed to Petco at 9 for a new basking bulb. In the meantime, I set up a 60 watt bulb to supply warmth until I can get a new bulb. Diesel seems to be liking it. Looking at the photo, are there any concerns I should be aware of until I can get a new bulb installed in 1 hour? I...
Hi there!
I just found out my husbands taking me on a trip for our 20 year anniversary. While I am thrilled, I immediately worried about little Diesel. My SIL is going to be here with our human kids, 3 dogs, 3 fish tanks, 4 hermit crabs and Diesel. My priority for Diesel is to be sure his...
Hi there! We have added a little veiled chameleon to our family. His (I assume) name is Diesel. I read as much as I could in the days before Diesel came home. I love having this Forum to find answers about all things Chameleon! I just wanted to introduce myself (and Diesel!)
Thanks!
