Ok, so about his eating, he might not be interested in the works, or he may not see them all the time with them being in the dish at the bottom. I recommend trying to mount the food dish to a branch in the cage just because veileds are arboreal, meaning that they live up in the trees and rarely...

Great, hope that your chameleon will start eating more, I don't think that it's too bad that he won't eat much other than superworms, though variety in a diet is key, as long as you use proper vitamin suppliments, I don't think it's too bad. But remember that it still is very important to try to...

Awww, he's so cute! I love the little baby chams!

If they are legal where you live (meaning not Florida, Canada, and a few other places) try getting some BABY dubia roaches, if not, try crickets, or locust. Try these out if you haven't already.

What all have you tried feeding him?

My veiled has been trained to eat from my hand, and every one in a while I'll get him to shoot at a few blue berries.

I'm glad to hear that (about the tail), but that isn't good that she is eggbound, I don't know how often you dust your crickets in calcium, and I'm not saying that you don't give enough calcium, but You should try to give her extra calcium. She will need all the calcium she can get.

I believe that Dragon Strand, one of the chameleon forums sponsors, has a product that is a drainage tray for the bottom of your chameleon cage. If I'm not mistaken, they come in many different sizes, so they will fit most chameleon cages. Hope this helps

Judging from the picture, Mario looks like he might be a she, If you could post a picture of the back of Mario's back feet, we might be able to help you out. But either way, it looks like your crickets have eaten Mario's tail, and you should probably try to get those crickets in a cup, so that...

I think that he should be able to get to his food. In the wild they must search for food across a very large range of space compared to their cages in captivity. When chameleons get hungry, they will hunt. If you do worry about him finding food, you can always use a feeding cup to put the food...

With veiled chameleons being an arboreal lizard who live in trees and other plants, as long as they have room to get around, and a basking area that is a little more open, I don't think you can get too crowded. Your enclosure looks beautiful, and looks to be like a very good setup. Just as long...

In my own opinion, as long as you do too much research. You will do perfect keeping a baby chameleon.

I'm sorry, I didn't see it. Thank you though.

Green bannana roaches!

You said that he needs to learn about chameleons on his own. This is his choice of learning about them. Asking people who have experience with them. Also, how do you know he is 13 and has "already lost a chameleon"? He never said this as far as I have seen.

Also, if you have some extra time, check out The Chameleon Breeder Podcast. They have a ton of great information on keeping all types of chameleons. Hope this helps!

That's so exciting. If you are looking to get a baby veiled chameleon. I should be able to help. If you decide that you want a baby, I highly recommend purchasing an exoterra 18x18x24 inch terrarium just because they are glass and easily hold in humidity and heat( which is very important for...

Lizards have better eyesight than many other animals and can more specifically see color more well and vibrant than humans. Putting a light on your chameleon at night only disturbs their sleeping patterns. Most houses (not sure about your specific situation) are warm enough at night for...

I know you already made your own drainage system, but I know that Dragon Strand makes great drainage trays in many sizes to fit any enclosure. They are just set at the bottom of the cage and collect any water...
