thank you, as much as possible i don't handle him. the cage does not dry between misting. that's another problem. either i can drill holes for the excess water to drip out of the bin. or i'll move him to the new cage tomorrow. what do you think? im worried maybe he'd get stress if i move him...
thanks guys :) anyway i started building the 18x18x24 cage! it looks crap but it will do for temporary.:o i ordered a custom made aluminum 24x24x48 cage for him. i will move him when he gets bigger. meanwhile, i tried feeding him crickets, he would just observe and not eat them. i put some more...
that's a great setup! i have a uvb t8, do i also need 6500K t8? :) is the 6500k just for a better view of your chameleons or do they also give benefits for your cham? :) thanks!
he would ignore the crickets :( so i tried mealworms and he ate it. i'll try crickets this morning :) thanks! what to do if he ignores the food? should i remove it and reintroduce it later? or just leave it there? thanks
he is so tiny!! that's why im so worried he's so fragile :( anyway yeah that's a water bowl and i do mist him 4 times a day :) is it okay to put him into a big cage? i'll start building the cage tomorrow, meanwhile i'll put more foliage for him to hide in. thanks guys!
yes, i have read jannB's blog that's why i didn't put basking light for the baby veiled. anyway thanks for the help guys. i'll wait for your replies and suggestions :)

ok i'll get an 18x18x36 cage and provide lots of foliage for him to hide. my concern is it takes time for him to get used to his new home right? and his very skinny im affraid if he won't eat, i'd lose him :( anyway how do i cup feed if he's so shy? thanks for the advice guys

we have this in our backyard it has big roots? i dont see any insects infesting the tree so i thought maybe it's toxic? although birds occasionally visit that tree to eat the seeds, it's small and round. i'm...
help my 4inch male veiled only eats 2mealworms a day. and he's skinny. he's been under my care for 4days now. he started eating 2days ago. he's in a temporary plastic bin cage 15x18x10 (LxWxH). im using reptisun uvb 5.0 for his light 12hours a day. i mist 3 or 4 times a day. i dust the feeders...
i know it's required to put UVB on cham cages. is it required to have both uva and uvb? and how many hours a day should i turn it on? is it required to turn it on 12hours a day?
