and this guy is doing great. Got him from Petco, for 70$ and he looks like a Million $$. the kids love him and he's as spoiled as they are. Just posting pix.
So, just sent from "small" crickets to "large" crickets for my veiled cham Chuckie-Boo (my 2.5 year old named him). The best surprise I got from the large crickets? The chirping sounds at night. I finally got the country life in my NYC apartment ! Anyway, just wanted to share.
I'll get a new picture up soon. I've been giving fruits to him recently as well. He hates superworms and mealworms. Waxworms I've given him, but not too often, as I've been told they're just a treat. I also threw a few moths in his enclosure and fruit flies get in there as well. As for roaches n...
My veiled is approx 6-7 months old. Healthy. Good eater. I give him 10-12 (on the smaller side) crickets a day. Should I be giving him crickets every other day? Or can I continue feeding him every day ?
I know I've seen a few posts about em. Any tips for keeping them alive in an enclosure. I guess I shoulda prefaced this with "are they safe for chameleons" ?
temps were in the lower 90s in the basking spot, lower cage area was mid 80s
I have a 4 or 5 month old veiled
temps don't seem to be getting over 88 in the basking spot now
i live in NYC. In a 3 bedroom apartment. Its in an open area, where the AC hits everywhere.
I didn't really account for the temp situation when it came to my AC being on. Warmer weather is here, so the AC went on, and i noticed his temps were lower. Ive read that a good idea is to put shower curtain plastic on the sides to keep the temps good n the cold air out. MY Question, how many...
I put down paper towel. It's the easiest thing I do. My wife picked up small wee wee pads for dogs. My next clean, I'm gonna throw one in there. Should work the same.
Awesome. Thanks 4 the input. He does seem to be traveling around the cage a bit more than usual. Cruising thru the leaves/vines is helping with the shedding. I'm gonna mist some more today.
I also wanted to clean out his cage, but maybe I should wait, so I don't stress him out any more for today.
My veiled is having his second shed (since I've had him). I should have written it down (his habits during his first shed) but he's eating a little less than normal. Is that part of the shedding process? Change in habits?
So had to take Chuckie-Boo (3-4 month old veiled) out of his cage to clean it and boy was he not happy. The darkest green I've seen yet. He actually "attacked" me as I tried to take him out. Gave him my finger for a minute or two, but he wasn't having it. The cage is clean n he is back inside...
I have a veiled who is about 3-4 months old. I give him anywhere from 10-12 crickets a day. Is this a good amount. I know he can eat more, is he at an age where give him as much as he can eat? or limit it. I also tried superworms a few times, but, he's not into em.
everything else I've given him. Tried super worms and their just in his dish, wiggling around. Also heard chopped up n cut thin carrot? but, haven't tried yet. Anything i can do to coax him into trying something new ?
Hes a 3/4 mo old Veiled btw.
