    Feeding vegetables to veiled cham

    Has anybody has any experience with feeding sweet red peppers to a Veiled Chameleon. Been giving him small bits on a stick, dusted, for a week now and seems to love it. He also loves strawberries. He gets a good diet of insects. Does this seem OK. Thanks for any input.

    Getting cold

    Tell me about it! I live in Chicago are and my guy can only spend a few short months outside. I think if he did not get at least that time in the sun he would be dead or at least in poorer health. Pray it's a short winter.

    How permanent is Great Stuff foam? Anyone use on reptibreeze screen?

    They have Pond and stone GREAT STUFF. I think it is less toxic-safe for fish. Use it in my pond. Pretty much the same stuff but black and a little easier to work with. It will stick to your hands for weeks--be careful

    I made my cham a cowboy hat.

    My guy stresses out when I just get near him. I sure he would bite me if I tried to put a hat on him. And i would not blame him-if some one tried to put a silly hat on me I might do the same.

    Any ideas for a simple large outdoor enclosure (renting)

    Made a simple one one out of regular 2" x 2" wood and some plastic garden screen. Going into third year and still looks good. Was pretty easy to make. Cut and screw wood together and staple on screen and plywood piece for bottom.

    I'm sad. I'm failing.

    I have made a "free range" for my guy by using a five gallon bucket, filled it with the magic stuff foam. Get some doll rods or branches stick them in and tie in the cross branches. Put it on a solid table or stand open the cage door and put in front. He can free range in and out of his cage...
