I think I can trust you on this one, even though I've never seen it - good to know for future reference :)

That d3 twice a month and multivit twice a month is usually recommended for panthers and veileds. The profile pic for bridgetnshane looks like a Jacksons. They should get d3 once a month, and multivit once a month.

Without further information I am going to say that sounds like nothing to worry about. Chameleons doing their eye maintenance can look pretty weird if you aren't used to it :) Here is the panther chameleon basic caresheet if you haven't seen it yet -...

I would say the same as Graves923, except there's nothing wrong with a few mealworms on occasion. There are better foods (silkworms, hormworms, phoenix worms are all much better). The best thing is variety - in gutload and in insects. To answer some of your specific questions straight away, the...

Ah, there's nothing wrong with a few mealworms every now and again (better than waxworms!). At least they will eat anything so you can gutload them nicely. They really shouldn't be all you have, but if it's an emergency then give some (maybe up to 5? depending on how big your cham is now - I am...

Just to say if you dust the crickets sensibly (lightly!) then it shouldn't harm their health. Even if you are buying crickets that are already in poor health it shouldn't be difficult to gutload them and get them into decent condition. I don't understand why you would buy crickets that die from...

People will usually use multivit twice per month (a double dose could lead to a build up of vit a). If you have plain calcium every feeding then a calcium with d3 twice per month is recommended. For the insects the gutloading is most important, then adding as much variety as you can. Edit...

Firstly let me say you are obviously doing a great job with him, it must be very hard. If I didn't see the close up of the wounds the pictures look basically healthy, he must be getting a reasonable amount of food. I agree that longer misting sessions would be much better to give him time to...

I've looked at some of your other posts (you posted something similar a week ago). Looking at your setup I would suggest covering one or two sides of the mesh up to help him feel more secure and help keep humidity higher. I also suggest more foliage (it shouldn't be easy to spot him straight...

Yes, that's totally normal. You shouldn't have the cages positioned so he can see her, it will stress her out and frustrate him. I get that it might be difficult when you get him out, but I put a big towel over the front of my females cage when I need to get my male out. He will always know...

Firstly, yes that is totally normal :) Secondly your setup looks good and she does look healthy. Thirdly, she could do to lose a few pounds lol - I mean cut down on the food a bit, females are prone to getting a bit porky and she is taking advantage early. A slightly lower basking temp would be...

Well gutloaded crickets are among the best foods. Dubia roaches are very similar. Locusts are loved by chams and will happily eat their greens. Silkworms are a great, healthy choice. Phoenix worms are very good (naturally high calcium) - they also turn into flies later, and chams love flying...

The best size is as big as you have room for. That is one good reason why most people will go for screen cages. Here is a caresheet which gives a size of adult male minimum: 24x24x48" https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

I know some people do shower their chams but I think with veileds it really isn't necessary. Maybe some will like it but I think most will find it annoying especially when shedding. Veileds don't need the humidity that most species do. When you said she put herself to bed early what do you...

Yeah, looks great - no need for any tweaking that I can see. Good work :)

Looks good :). I would put a few more thinner branches in there (think about the comfortable size for his feet). He might prefer the thicker ones, but giving him choices is what it's all about. Also, he is not 7 months old. He looks to be around 4 months old to me.

He's very cute, and it's not that chams are fast shedders. Babies are fast shedders, he will slow down as he gets older.

He looks very good, congrats on your success so far :)

Have you read this? https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ It gives information on many important things, including temperatures.

I can't really say "why" he does it, but it's not uncommon. My male veiled did the same thing most days, but not quite as thoroughly as that (he would maybe spend 30 mins going down, look around and then go back up). I guess he just wants something to do, or is making sure he is safe. Perhaps he...
