Hello everyone! So glad to be here! So I’ve just purchased my 2nd Chameleon. From petsmart and they say she is about 6 months old. My first I had as a teenager. With my first I used the zoo med loose fiber substrate and that’s what I’m using for my new little girl. Also what the store uses and recommends. BUTTT I had quite the scare!! I mainly hand feed her but also like to keep some small crickets in her enclosure so she can eat as she pleases. Well while watching her she snagged a cricket but also snagged a piece of the substrate and couldn’t get it off so I had to pull it from her mouth. Now I’m scared to death this will happen while I’m not watching her and she will choke or possibly swallow it and it cause major problems. Can I use the reptile carpet?? Or what do you all use for your veiled chameleons? Please help as I have never had a issue with it before.
