So lil' man shed again yesterday. first off, he reminds me of a wet dog when he sheds. It cracks me up. I honestly really look forward to it even though it drives him nuts. He's hilarious. I particularly like when he uses his back foot to scratch himself. And he's a whole new world of red...

We have full brothers from the same guy, different hatch though. Here's a picture of my lil fella at 6 Months. That corner viv is killer. We are definitely going to build another cage as well. Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out. Congratulations!

Been there done that. I think the poor vet thinks I'm crazy. He told me to go home and quit worrying. Then I called him back and told him to give me the antibiotics anyway.

My goodness he looks skinny! He is lucky to have found you! I'm new so I'm not the best for advice, but you are certainly in the right place to get it. Veiled care sheet is here - https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/ Go browse around in the chameleon food section. There are...

He really is beautiful

So the anxiety thing doesn't go away?? Lol! It's killing me :-) I was hoping there was a time limit on that. It's like having a kid. He is fab. Wow what a difference a year makes!

Thanks. We are all in love. He's remarkable expressive. Because he totally has a grumpy, pissy face too!

Ha! I do a lot of Cham watching. Some would call it obsessing. Charlie - he's about 6 months old. I'm so curious to see what he is going to grow up and look like. :-)

Also, I know this is counter intuitive, but the more cover he has, the more likely it will be for him to feel comfortable enough to come out to be seen. At least most animals are that way. He's totally out of his element. Give him some time and don't take him out. Building trust has to be on his...

I can see why you do it. Outdoors is out of the question for now, but will definitely be a regular part of life once the weather permits. I worry about oversupplementing. In general, mucking around with vitamins too much can really get you into trouble with most any animal. All things in...

It's beautiful. I've seen people do this for dart frog enclosures. Nice work

Start hanging out at whatever goodwill has housing stuff. We have a habitat for humanity store that sells old household stuff. Also, post on facebook yard sale pages. Wanted: humidifier. Wanted: house plants. Watch your local craigslist for reptile supplies then call and wheel & deal. Never...

This is great, thanks. Do you still dust w/ a multivitamin then? Maybe I'll drop that back to once/month once I'm feeling confident on the gutloading. I have 3 brands of multivitamins I'm rotating, outside of calcium. I've got a pretty beastly food processor. Thinking it would make short work...

It seems that most are based off an alfalfa base with a variety of dry superfoods mixed in. Shooting for around 20% veg based protein, and low, high quality fat. This could be fun. :-) Other important guidelines when making your own?

I have been thinking that there are advantages to having a steady, large quantity easy to feed dry gutload you make up on huge batches. Then feed lots of fruits & vegetables, with the dry as your kind of baseline nutrition in the background.

Seems like commercial would get crazy expensive at the rates colonies consume.

@Andee i didn't mean to imply your responses were impersonal. I try not to ask questions that can be answered by a forum search. And the "what do you dry gutload" question was one of those where I should just do the search, put in the time and learn it myself. Not that I don't really...

Yep heard that. No chicken feed. Do you guys just have a list of links you keep on your desktop for all the 100s of questions you answer again and again and again and again... Thanks for all you do. You guys are making a difference.

Hmmm, never mind. That's a loaded question... too long to answer and too many variables. Going to require some research on my part
