I got my panther from them, only issue I had is the overnight shipping turned into around a 4-day ship in chilly temps so I was a bit nervous. FLChams claims it was a FedEx error, and FexEx claims FLChams delivered the package too late to meet the cutoff for overnight.

Definitely need some more branches and foliage in there. You can use thumb tacks to secure the branches through the mesh screen. Or you can do what I did and use expandable trellis to give you plenty of options for vine and branch mounting. Here's a pic of my recent cage redesign

Congrats, it took me around 6 months to get to that stage.

Because I won't give him a hornworm...he's stuck with the healthier/staple stuff and then he gets a treat.

It depends on the basking bulb wattage and type/age of uvb bulb. 12" from a 90w is much different than 12" from a 40w. Provide branches at multiple levels and maybe put the vine or branches in the top side of the cage not directly under the bulbs.

Yes there is, give him branches that are closer to the top

And when you snip zip ties, sand down or heat up sharp edges to smooth them out.

I would add way more branches, vines, and foliage. The cham will thermo-regulate so if some areas are closer to the basking bulb than others, the chameleon will move to get warmer or cooler.

Do you have a Solarmeter? The distance from UVB basking branch to UVB bulb depends on the strength of your bulb. My current bulb is around 15 months old now and I have the branch in the back at a distance where around 3"-4" above it (the top of the chams back) gets a 3.5-4.0 UVI.

I think I think it's more don't use ALL glass. 2 or 3 sides glass with door and roof mesh is ideal IMO to help with humidity and ambient temps.

I use this film on the 2 sides and it helped with both ambient temps and humidity, it adhere's to the black metal and creates a seal. It's crystal clear and can be removed/replaced. IIRC it was like $5 for this package.

I've always gotten a few extra in my orders, in one case double. I'd contact the vendor and ask for it to be corrected, and then order elsewhere.

My fault, I missed the whole 'veiled' mention in the first sentence.. Just ignore me

Half inch are pretty much still nymphs. Maybe do 12-14 roaches of that size every other day? Don't worry about them breeding if they are that small, your cham will likely snipe them wayy before they can grow and mate. My cham woke up this morning before the lights turned on and he was crunching...

I've ordered from here twice. I like the smaller quantity since my chameleon never goes through all of them before they begin turning into flies...

You can use expandable lattice to give yourself options for mounting vines/branches. I used a single 72"x48" piece made by Master Garden Products for my 24x24x48 reptibreeze. You need to lay it flat so the height is ~46" and then cut 4 pieces around 22" wide.

I've never tried to breed them, and have no plans to. The noise and smell is enough to keep me from buying them, let alone breeding them. Though, I do buy them once in a while just for variety.

Yeah, it's way too many for a single chameleon, I am looking to sell some. This colony has been going since November 2018 and my chameleon has been on a dubia hiatus since pretty much November 2018..he only recently started eating them regularly again. I removed the heat from them so they don't...

Agreed, I wouldn't bother with crickets, definitely go dubia (or anything but crickets!). Roaches have little to no smell, do not jump, do not make noise, and are nutritious. I can help you get started

As I mentioned before, I would re-evaluate your husbandry with someone knowledgeable on veileds and make adjustments as needed. If the living conditions may have led to the illness, it makes no sense to put another chameleon through that.
