My veiled has been showing some darker colors and I want to make sure he’s alright.

I looked up brown beetle with 6 spots on it.

Quick internet search led me to believe it’s a masked chafer beetle. Unsure of feeding it to chams, if you get them from an unknown source I wouldn’t

Well, I know where I'm going to be living out my glory days.

If he wants to drink, let him drink. As long as he isn't showing any health issues and you're just seeing him drink a lot he should be fine.

Are you actually from Weed, California, or is that a joke because 420

Careful with waxworms though. They aren't nutritious at all for chams

My cham never had a problem eating from my hand. Must be lucky.

I use incandescent house bulbs and I have no issues.

They'll dream about vacationing in Hawaii..Or retirement.

I forgot to post the new pic. Kinda weird looking cause I have a popcorn tin from Christmas holding the pothos up high but it works (y)

Do you have any real plants in there to keep the humidity up and give him some water droplets to lick?

My cham walks on me no matter what I'm wearing. I don't think he really cares, he just wants out so he can look around.

Chameleon suicide. Never heard of that one. Also, if you didn't mean to offend, why'd you go about such a rude way to tell him his current setup isn't adequate for his cham? I think that it just needs a bit of revamping, and then it'll be a-okay for Slappy.

I gutload my crickets with carrots, potatoes and apples. Makes 'em more nutritious.

I personally think keeping a wild caught chameleon is a bad idea. I've also heard glass enclosures are a no go for chameleons and that screen cages work much better. You shouldn't be using a humidifier as a substitute for misting. Get a Mist King or mist the enclosure yourself at least 3 times...

Currently don't have any cash, and if I did, I'd be buying a Mist King. Lol.

I got it from Walmart. Made sure to wash it in the shower and repot it with organic soil. Then I covered the soil with rocks. Now the humidity in his enclosure has jumped from 50% to 70%. Definitely happy. Figured this would be a good time to ask about my husbandry: am I doing a good job...

Sounds cute. It really depends on the chameleon but I still think you should be very slow about it. Don't rush things. Be as gradual as possible with your advances to keep him as comfortable as possible.

I've heard from a lot of experts on the forums that veileds seldom let their owners handle them. From personal experience, my veiled loves when I hold him and it's become a part of his daily routine, but he is still a juvenile so things most likely will change once he's reached adulthood. The...
