Hello,
Recently became the proud owner of three baby veiled chameleons... And I can't get enough. I've now had two of them for several months while the third arrived just a few weeks ago. At first, my two babies, Priscilla and Theodore, aka Lady Ted (as it turns out they're both female lol) were reluctant to eat, and as fussy as a new mother I devised a plan...
Long story short they've been hand-fed since they arrived in this family. And the result... amazingly friendly and happy chameleons.
Every day we sit outside for periods of time in the evening or morning rays and get our ViteD... needless to say when the third arrived at first skittish, we implemented the same plan. The result: Chameleons who actually come 'somewhat' willing to perch for up to a few hours on our waiting fingers.
They each have an enclosure, with live plants, imitation vines, misters, UVA/B etc. and sidewall feeders for extra nummies between feedings ))
I wanted to share this experience as having Picante, Lady Ted & Priscilla join the crew has been a most rewarding experience and I Love!!
