Final Questions!

[Ellron]

I am getting my chameleon soon and I just have some final questions.
Is the following info correct?:

You should be using a calcium without d3 5 times a week, a calcium with d3 twice a month, and a multivitamin once a month.

Basking zone for baby veiled 80-83 F
Ambient 72-75 F

Gutload - Combo of commercial gutloads like "Cricket Crack" and homemade veggie gutloads.


Thank you!

Feel free to add any "must-have" info!

Sounds good. Just make sure the veggie (wet) portion of the gutload makes up more than the dry gutload.

If your veiled ends up being like Pan, and he eats immediately and eats anything he can get his tongue on, hand feeding shouldn't be too hard.

Cool, Im looking forward to handfeeding.

Silkies
Crickets
Hornworms
etc.

Right?

If you can afford free roam feeding, this method would be better in the long run. It is the most natural.. and it will force your chameleon to hunt before eating.

Yes I free roam but I usually end up hand feeding the first one or two
