Your Chameleon - The veiled chameleon , i think man , not more than 2 months and i care for him just in two days.

Watering - for watering i will buy waterfall tomorrow but for now i used sprey to the glass do drink from glass and for huminity but i never see that he drink water.
History - I dont know From Pet Shop.
By the way im sorry for my english. Im not so good speakers for english.
Bad English is okay be me as long as u get what I'm saying I get what ur saying.. so here it goes.
He looks like more than 2 months maybe 3 1/2 almost 4. It makes a difference he's.gonna be.huge by 8 months.. feed him as many crickets as he can possibly eat till about 6-7 months of age.. then he will slow down to prob 8-10 every other day.
Dust every feeder every day lightly witg calcium with NO D3 (it can be tricky to find u may have to order it online.)
Dust every feeder 2 times a month with ur calcium WITH d3
And also 2 times a month with a multi vit. (Do not so d3 and multi on same day)
The basking spot under the bulb should be 85 degrees. Until u get a larger screen cage then about 90-92 degrees. Only heat one corner so he can get away from it.
He needs a UVB BULB on 12 hrs a day every day. And replaced every 6 months. Reptisun 5.0 is a good bulb.. heat bulb can be a normal 60 watt house bulb. Once in bigger cage a 75-100 watt bulb would be nice..
No waterfall. They don't drink pools of water. All they do is add gross bacteria. Leave the floor bare. Maybe just a towl for now to soak up water.
Make sure to spray his cage with a spray bottle. Or hand pump chemical sprayer that's new and has been used for nothing else but water. His cage needs to be soaked 3-5 times a day spraying for a couple minutes each time with warm water.. this will be far easier with a screen cage.. also in a screen cage u can drill to allow water to drain. In a glass cage a towel must be used to soak up excess water. And towel must be changed daily. The cage should be allowed to completely dry out inbetween mistings. And an hour before bed time..
Ur biggest priority right now is to get a larger screen cage and many live plants and vines for.humidity climbing and hiding.
This quick guide Will help get ya rolling. If u need any help with specifics on what to use or where to find something please start a new thread and u Will get helped promptly
