Ok well here come the questions!

[kokom05lb]

I have 2 babies. A 2 month old male and a 3 month old female veiled chameleons. Right now I we have is crickets and getting ready to order some mealworms or something. But I need advice on what to get and what I should dust them with.

Angel, my female, eats like all the time and so much bigger than Ringo, our male. I have the crickets eating Fluker's Cricket Quencher Calcium Fortified I'm not quite sure if thats enough. Plants are another big thing here. I have a Purple passion and a dracaena right now.

I have some experience in iguanas but that was nearly 10 years ago. These are my first chameleons. We have had snakes before and a turtle now. Oh how easily this house could be reptile house if we could.

Well those are my questions. Thanks for reading

your female is only bigger for now, but soon your boy will overtake her,

I hope you have them in seperate cages.

and the crickets need to be gutloaded (fed) fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds.
find sandrachameleons blog on gutloading.

once you female hits 5-6 months, youll want to reduce what you feed her, so she doesnt lay eggs, or has smaller clutches, and im sure you know she can lay wihtout being mated

for suuplements, get calcium without d3 for every feeding, calcium with d3 twice a month feeding, and a multivitamin twice a month feeding,


mealworms arent very nutritious. silkworms, hornworm, pheonix worms, are all great to feed.
