Veiled Colors

[Chameleon Loco]

What color are your veilds during the day mine is a light brown dark green is that normal?

 

[Julirs]

Sounds pretty normal. I have some males that are prettier then others, and others that beat them out when fired up. Many Veileds are more dull in color when in a normal relaxed state.

What are your temperatures like? Can you fill out the how to ask for help form? As Julirs stated it can be normal.. but just to be on the safe side I figured I'd ask.

Your temps are to high you need it 80-85 max

stop using meal worms they cause impaction because of their hard shell

you need some d3 in the dustiong schedule. follow this schedule it works great

MON-FRI--calcium no d3

SAT-- nothing

SUN-- alternate calcium w/d3 and a multivitamin

Actually don't veileds require higher basking temperatures as they get older?

Not 90 degrees

 

[Julirs]

Yes-90 degrees for a male is fine.

I moved his basking light up a little higher I only use mealworms as treats
