Hi Alan,
no she doesn't seem to get stressed out at all. I have heard that chameleons don't like being handled, but Karma waves her front legs at me if I go near her so she can grab my finger and climb up on me. It's quite cute seeing her doing it :)
Her colours seem to be getting more...
Here are the links to a video of Karma and some photos

I checked on eBay and found that the Herptivite has beta-carotene in it. I couldn't find any Repcalto, but I will keep looking for some.

I presume you meant to type either 50W or 150W - 750W would have cooked your cham by now (and a leg of lamb ;)) and burnt down your house...
LOL, stupid me, it's a 75W infrared bulb :)
Thanks for all the info, it's really good of you to help. I'm going to print it all out so I can refer...
There's a good online site for crickets and locusts here :- http://mealwormsdirect.co.uk/shop/catalog/index.html
The crickets medium silent one's (pack of 125) are £3.75 incl delivey. I ordered mine on Friday and they came this morning. The "local" pet shop charged £6.99 for about the same...
I will post some pics soon, she's nearly finished shedding now. I'm really enjoying having her, she's a funny little character. :)
Sometimes when I try to pick her up she shoots off and hides behind something or she stands on her hind legs and grabs onto me with her front legs :)
She had gone...
Wherabouts in the UK are you? I'm in a little rural village near Conwy in North Wales. There's no half decent petshops anywhere near that I can find that does specific cham stuff. There is a PAH in Llandudno and Bangor but they don't do Cham stuff :(
Nutrobal
Thank you Julirs, I feel a lot more confident about my setup etc now :)

I live in the UK I can't get many of the items listed in the gut loading recipe mentioned in this forum. I have found a UK based site that has "bug grub".

It tells you...
I've got 3 Dracaena Sanderina's (AKA ribbon plant), so I was thinking about putting at least one of them in with my Veiled Cham as long as they're safe for her. I'm also going to get her a Devil's Ivy
I haven't a clue to be honest, she's about 3 inches long not including her tail.
I will post some pics of her soon. She's shedding at the moment so she looks a bit scruffy :)
Oo'er!
Wow Julirs, that's a lot of questions to think about and work out :)
She was a surprise present off a friend and she bought me the cage and all the equipment that goes with it. I think I've still got all the packaging that came with it, so I'll dig it all out and get the info about it...
Hi everybody,
I've just got my first chameleon, she's a yemen chameleon and is about 3 inches long, (about 7.5 cm, not including her tail). She ate about 6 crickets the first day I had her, but now she doesn't seem to want them. She will take 2 mealworms off my hand about 3 times a day, is this...
