Hmmm, I may go ahead and get that one. Is the bottom panel removable so a drain can be utilized instead?

Thank you! I was not prepared at all for him and the adoption was totally unexpected... it was a true adoption, not a purchase. I am learning a lot, and my goal is to get everything set up better for him ASAP, but I work long hours and needed to wait for pay day (today, yay). This weekend I'm...

Had some technical difficulties with the gallon. It fell over and dumped about 1/2 a gallon on the floor this morning. Chameleon wasn't too happy about the commotion. His perch also needs to be secured, right now it can roll some when he's moving around on it. Sprayed him and the cage and he's...

I wanted to do something bigger but couldn't find anything to set it on so the weight isn't on the screen. I looked around some more and found something, so now I can use the 1 gallon jug.

I didn't, but I poked a hole in the mealworm cup to use for tomorrow.

I have a feeling the basking temp is probably higher than it needs to be. My thermometer battery died recently and I am ordering new ones. I am also ordering an infrared thermometer gun. But I was wondering, what's a general rule of thumb for the wattage of the basking light? The highest branch...

Read the whole thread. Sorry for your losses and good luck with this guy - though it looks like he is doing very well. :)

When I got home. Supers immediately wanted the kale. Still hates the shower. Poop and urates that were in the cage

I figured. I got some kale for him, if he doesn't want to eat it, I guess that's not a big deal since I can give it to the super worms and crickets to eat, then he can just eat them. Another shower tonight when I get home.

Great. I did look up some hornworms last night so I will order them soon, and some better gut loading food. I picked up orange cube last night when I got crickets, but I'm guessing that's pretty worthless. At any rate, the super worms ate almost all of their orange cube, and the chameleon ate a...

That all sounds great, thank you so much for your help! I'm sure he really appreciates it. :) Would wax worms be a good supplement for gaining weight or should I stick with the insects that are lower in fat? I got crickets and super worms tonight that I will put in the cage tomorrow.

Also, is cricket crack still recommended for gut loading? Would that also work for super worms? How often should I do the 30-minute showers?

What I mean is, if I get home at night and bring some food for him, can I give him some at night sometime before basking is over or do I need to wait until the next morning? If so, how long before basking ends can he eat? The spine thing reminds me of a skinny horse, thanks for the explanation...

Thanks so much for your input. I am having a hard time judging how he's doing. I spent some time looking through images of male veileds just to become familiar with what a healthy weight looks like. I think you are right about his color. When I got home, he was dark brown on his branch. Right...

Thanks for all the vitamin and mineral explanations. What is Repashy LoD? What would you consider "regularly" for going outside? He got a 30 minute shower tonight when I got home. He seemed to dislike it, and dislike being on the vine. He fell once and I lowered the vine. He got off of it again...

What kind of feeding schedule would you do for crickets and worms? So use repashy 3 times a week and calcium only on a couple days that no repashy is given? Is D3 in any of this or is that not needed?

Great, thank you! Any specific brands recommended for the supplements? Any other specific foods that would help more with the emaciation?

Thanks for your reply. It's not fond of misting but this morning did not avoid it. It ate 13 large crickets this past 24 hours. I dusted with calcium plus D3. I can get more crickets for it tonight to put in the cage tomorrow morning. Should I dust them with something else? Can you explain how...

My cousin in law works at Petsmart and asked if I would adopt a veiled chameleon that kept getting returned for bad disposition, so I abliged. I have experience with reptiles but this is my first time with a chameleon. It is temporarily set up in an exo-terra but I am going to upgrade the...
