Thank Elizadolots! You've continued to be so nice and help me as best you can! I have been keeping the lamp on one side to allow for diverse temperature options.
So I scrutinized the boxes closer and have discovered that my bulbs definitely aren't UVB, and are UVA. So when I go to get a UVB...
Thank you. I've never seem her sleep during the day, she's very active, climbing around constantly. I do have calcium pills, like regular one you can buy at Walmart that are nature alley or something. Can I use these and grind them up then maybe dip the crickets in them? Or is there a different...
I was told that the bulb I am using was the kind that supplies calcium, they might have been mistaken. If it's just a heat bulb, then should I leave the lamp off the cage for now till I get the calcium invoking bulb? As well as perhaps a new cage?
Elizadolots, thank you very much. You've been so nice and extremely understanding. I also think some might have misunderstood how completely small this chameleon is compared to her cage. It's practically a jungle.
But I will certainly be checking into these bigger cages! I have a few...
Well, first off, she'll get the care she needs and deserves, but it doesn't matter if I had unlimited resources, it's a learning process for me, and this is what I'm trying to do, learn. I took a lot of time to fill out this form requested of me and was humbly honest.
So please, I ask, don't...

Chameleon Info:
My Chameleon - My chameleon named Pascala is a Veiled Chameleon, presumably female I'm pretty sure, approximately 2 months, I've had her for about 2 or 3 weeks.
Handling - I handle her maybe once or twice a day for a few minutes if she wants, I let...
Hi everyone, I recently got a veiled chameleon probably a week and a half ago. I think I was told she's about a month or month and a half old, so I assume about two months maybe. Well, I saw her kind o running around the cage digging here them there, like a frenzied dog looking for a buried...
Thanks, you guys! :D I'll try to get a container to hold lots of crickets and feed the crickets those good foods. I read you need to feed them a few hours before feeding the chameleon, is that true? Also, I imagine that the food eventually goes bad, so that sounds about right.
One other...
So should I keep lots of crickets and stuff on hand? Because I get like 12 at the store then run out pretty fast in like 2 days.
Also, is there a best way to store the crickets?
Lastly, I saw some gelatin looking stuff at the pet store that you can feed crickets, is that good stuff or...
I'm still learning to supplement and gutload. I was told that the petstore powders the crickets with calcium, so supplements could give too much calcium, just an assumption though not sure.
Right now the cage is glass sides with grate thing for the top (like the metal ones). I know she...
I don't exactly have a schedule or timer.. O_o Any recommendations as to when I turn her light on and when to turn it off? Like, for example, light on at 9am and off at 9pm?
I don't really have any kind of drip system. I head you can put a hole in a gallon jug, I can try that with a water bottle for now if that is possible a good method.
Thanks again for your help!
And yeah, here's a picture:
Hi there, I'm new to this community and excited to be here. I recently got a beautiful Veiled Chameleon and would like to learn more about making sure she has the water she needs. I just over worry sometimes and want to make sure.
Currently I use a spray bottle and I spray moisture onto the...
