Double-check the care sheets under the resource tab at the top of the page for the amount for a veiled his age. I think you'll find he needs 10-15 feeders/day (trying to do that from memory, so don't hold me to that number!), but I would definitely give him more crickets and fewer worms. It's...
@Randamae11 , welcome to the forums! I'm curious how you are feeding Nelson Apollo. Specifically, are you using a feeding cup or just letting them free-range? The reason I ask is your feeding schedule seems a little labor-intensive. Also, if he's skittish at all that means you are getting in...
The panther stares at me out of the corner of his cage if I dare feed the other two first. He's started following my husband around the cage when he goes in their room because my husband is a sucker and feeds (hand-feeds!) him when he begs. Honestly, I have a small, blue, scaled labrador.
I've never had a problem "training" my three (Jax, quad and panther) to eat from my hand because they are all pig-lizards and have no concern whatsoever where their food comes from. That being said, if they aren't hungry they won't eat from my hand (or from anything else). Try offering feeders...
All of my cham kids have been shipped, and I love the way @ponders and @CharlesYamaguchi shipped mine. Maybe they have some suggestions? (Side note: my first chameleon was shipped from a dealer to me in a paper bag inside the shipping box. He was fine, but after seeing how the next two were...
@CamCham78, are you using a coiled UVB bulb? Also, what kind of hydration does he have (dripper/misting/etc)? Never mind on the hydration, I just went back and saw the nozzle.
@Ceycham I use a CliMist, which for all intents and purposes is the same as a MistKing. I use a food-grade five gallon bucket (recommended by the manufacturer) and misting my guys 3-5 minutes every three hours for a twelve hour cycle uses about five gallons a week. I bump up the misting in the...
Hey, Olivia! I use about half and half roaches and crickets for my staples. Dubia Roaches (one of the site sponsors) is my go-to. I always get more roaches than stated (if I buy 25, I'll get 30-35) and rarely have any die on me. Roaches live much longer, have less odor, and are easy to gut-load...
There is a re-homing page on FB, "chameleon Gems: A Re-homing Group". There is a fairly large contingent who just use it for a sales page, but there are a lot of people who are looking to re-home.
