I just got my first chameleon yesterday -- a six-month-old female veiled. She seemed healthy, friendly and active at the petstore we purchased her from. We were even able to talk to a worker who had raised her from birth, who seemed to have a pretty decent knowledge about chameleons. We picked...

Let's see if this works...

I am into photography and use a very poor camera, but manage to take some beautiful artistic pictures. I'd post some examples, but I still haven't been able to work out the attachments thing yet. It keeps saying there are errors on the page. But I do wish the no editing rule was taken away. A...

I'm new to chams, but is it possible that he's just shedding? Because I think I heard from someone that they sometimes have trouble opening them while shedding. Then again I could be totally off.

Some other interesting ones I've heard of are locusts or grasshoppers, praying mantises, house flies, spiders, and earthworms. Haven't gotten a chance to try any yet because I haven't gotten my first cham yet. I'm getting a veiled on Saturday and I'm so excited. I've been doing my research...

Oh okay. Looks like I had to press the "Go advanced" button...grr the paperclip is not working. It says that there are errors on page. I just don't understand...

I am new to this site, but I thoroughly enjoy photography on a terrible camera. It does not really matter so much what camera is used in my opinion as much of this can be fixed in editing. But I am frustrated that we are not permitted to edit our photos at all in the photography contest. If you...

I had already read that one a few times actually. lol I also have a book on the differences between a few different types of chameleons, which I don't think is very good, but it has some good basics. I had researched both Jacksons' and Veileds so this isn't a huge change that now I'm getting a...

Okay, I think I understand now. Thanks for the help.

I am not sure what "silkworms" you are referring to, but they won't be what most people are feeding chameleons and I am not sure if they are safe. I would do some research on that as well as on the moths. I can post some pictures when the bugs are in season and see if people can identify them.

So does that mean I should have a linear florescent tube for UVB in addition to a basking lamp? Or just one? I will definitely reconsider the waterfall and the Jackson's.

Yes, but that's why I said that I plan to to completely fill up the bottom of the waterfall with large gravel and be sure to clean it out often -- no old, standing water, so that the chameleon doesn't poop in it and collect bacteria. I don't know if anyone has tried this. If I see that he still...

Oh I'm sorry. I meant 83 degrees, not 85, not that it makes much of a difference I guess...

I have been looking at both Jackson's and Veileds, but somehow I did not think about the fact that Veileds would be more suited to my sunroom temperatures. I still could have I Jackson's I think if I'm careful. Right now in the spring, the sunroom seems to be at about 85 F during the day, which...

I am about to get my first chameleon. I'm not positive whether to get a Jackson's or a Veiled (I seem to change my mind everyday), but right now I'm leaning toward a juvenille male Jackson. I've been doing so much research in the last few days that I feel very well-prepared. I even pointed out...
