Just walked up on my veiled napping during the day 3:30pm. I read that chameleons should never sleep during the day. Is this a bad sign?

Can you post a picture of her hind feet. I'm not expert but from what I have been told there feet will not have a spur if female.

My 2month old veiled is black! This is the first time that I have seen this since I got her over a week ago. She has been ashy lately and now I can see that some of her skin is peeling. Is shedding very stressful for them when they are babies? :confused:

I have not because our local pet shops do not sell anything but mealworms, superworms, and crickets. I could try the pet smart but it's like a 45 min drive away. Which I am going to a reptile show this weekend and will check there.

Good to know;) She was an impulse purchase (guilty). But I am trying to learn as much as possible and keep her healthy and happy.

I'm feeding her what she will eat. trying twice per day. usually she will eat 4 and stop. she wont take the meal worms at all tho :( But she is active and healthy to me. I will continue to watch and update :D

Thanks! I'm going to leave her alone and see what happens.

I just tried with the cup again and no luck but she ate 3 from my hands. Still ignoring the meal worms.

Yay! That is great to know. Now if I could just get her eating the 10-20 crickets/day that have been suggested. I also bought the meal worms and so far she is ignoring them.

I am having the same problem with a 2 month old veil. I made a cricket feeder out of a sunny D bottle. My baby chameleon seems to be scared when I put it in her cage. She will eat when I put a cricket on the branch near her or when I hold 1 in her face. It's not hard to do just takes so much...

I have a drip cup and spray her 3-4 times per day. All her poop looks normal. But she is my first chameleon and when I noticed she looked so ashy I got worried.

Here is a picture (from a cellphone) of my 2 month veiled. I noticed yesterday she looked somewhat ashy. I hope she is just shedding :confused:

My two month old veiled looks ashy. I'm wondering if that is the beginning of the shedding process? I spray her multiple times per day and I have a drip cup for her. All of her poop so far has been black/white. Once I did see some yellow with the white and black. Again any help is appreciated ;)

Ok great! I can get some fruit flies today. She had maybe 6 yesterday. All the crickets seem to get away from her before she can catch them. I tried using like a "solo" cup to let her eat out of but she just climbed on it then away. Is there some better way to use a feeder cup?

At what age can I feed my veiled something other than crickets? She is 2 months. I have had her for 5days. She eats crickets well approx. 5 per day. Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks for the reply! The first day she ate 4 small crickets, today 5. I tried putting them in a cup for her to eat out of but she wouldn't. Instead, I placed one by one on the branch in front of her and she started eating! (Very exciting :D) I got a 50 watt UVA bulb. I read that they needed the...

Hi everyone I'm new to this site and chameleon keeping. Though, I am not new to reptile keeping. I have always loved going to Repticon and other similar events. Today I bought my first chameleon. Female-veiled-2months old. I have a dome light, screen cage, lots of silk plants/vines. I have...
