    How to tell if a veiled is carrying eggs?

    Awesome, thank you for the pictures, they are very helpful! :D Our cham is as I stated, over a year old (guesstimate 3-5 months over the 1 year mark) and hasn't had any eggs. She still has no indication of anything happening in places where eggs should be visible (if she was carrying) so that...

    My, what a lovely blue boy :D Maybe that's exactly the reason he's suggesting to get another! ;)

    in a screened VV how do you support

    The light looks like it might be resting on top. Depending on the screen, it could be strong enough to hold (you just have to make sure the screen does not get too hot under it). Either that or hanging it from the ceiling could work. The branches I heard are possible to hold in place with...

    How to tell if a veiled is carrying eggs?

    Since I am inexperienced in the world of chameleon moms, I would like to know what I should look for in order to determine whether of not a chameleon is carrying eggs. Is there a way to tell... either be feeling her side (or near the back legs?) or looking or in general some typical behaviour of...

    Final touch to my viv one last plant.

    I find this kind of amazing really, just how alike this terrarium setup is like my own! Left I have a Ficus, in the middle my umbrella and on the right my pothos :D The only difference is that I also have a bromelia in the front ;) My terrarium that looks so houses a mini-Eliotti (He's mini...

    New Uromastyx (Spiny-tailed lizards) - Naming Help!

    I'll post some pics tomorrow, the little ones are sleeping right now.. ;) We got a pair of Uromastyx a couple of days ago (male/female pair) and we're having a bit of trouble naming them! I would be most appreciative if you guys could give us a couple of naming ideas for them :)

    Aquarium Snails Good feeder?

    I've read various times that you shouldn't risk it with aquatic snails. A land snail is something that might be found in the wild, but a cham would never really go swimming to get an aquatic one. I also read something about them housing all kind of bacteria and parasites. Maybe someone with...

    Small bugs in chameleon housing

    This is true. I only have substrate in one of my enclosures, and getting the ecosystem right was annoying at first. Now I have plenty of "life" with bugs that eat poop and dead leaves in there (worms, springtails, earwigs that I discovered yesterday). I got some soil that doesn't seem to mold...

    What Kind of Hibiscus?

    I have 3 hibiscus for my veiled's enclosure. They aren't all in there at once. I rotate them once a week, putting two outside at a time. I have a red one, pink one and orangey yellow one :D They're doing good so far. I used to have a white one, but Yuki vandalized it really quickly and it died...

    Male or female baby panther?

    After having looked at some pictures on this forum about sexing panthers, I would have to say female. On the last picture, and the second in the first post, I can see what would look like "the dent". I am by all means no expert on this matter, but that would be what I think :D ::EDIT:: I would...

    How much to feed? and how old is he?

    Well, it's great that you asked sooner, rather than later! Too many meal worms can cause problems :) Snacks, yes - staple, no! I'm sure you will do fine :D I hope someone else will chime in on the amounts however, as I said, I'm not 100% on the values... You should also post a picture or two...

    Not eating

    If he doesn't like the phoenix worms as worms, he might love the flies that hatch out! :D Marimo is picky and refuses to eat and icky wormy-things... but he will go wild for black soldier flies :)

    Jackson+fruit and veggies

    I'm sure they CAN, it's just a matter of their willingness to eat them! :D That's why gutloading is so important - Without it, chameleons wouldn't get the nutrition they need from fruits and veggies :) So if your jacksons is willing to eat fruits and veggies, let him/her! If not, don't force it.

    How much to feed? and how old is he?

    I am VERY bad at age-guessing... but he sounds like he's over the 4, maybe even 6 month mark. Yuki is roughly 4", maybe a bit more(I haven't exactly measured her) and likely 6-7 months old. So I'm going to GUESS he's 4-6 months old, as he is male, and they're usually bigger than females. I would...

    Not eating

    If he's all over anything that wriggles and worms, try some phoenix worms! Yuki goes wild for them, and they're really healthy too! Packed with calcium :D As camimom said, silkworms are also a great wriggly food. If you can't get either, and crickets are one of your only options, don't feel...

    The Things we do for our Chams......

    our chameleons actually helped us get the right 'push' we needed to eating healthier :D I used to be fairly lazy - only cooking when I felt I had no other choice... But now we juice a lot, twice a day on average, sometimes more, and eat tons of salads! The only reason we do that really, is...

    Vegetables and fruits!

    My veiled starts going wild on her plants if I don't give her some fruits or veggies every now and then... she seems to feel the need to vary her diet with a bit of plants. (I had to remove all dry leaves form her free-range tree... for whatever reason, the browner and crunchier they are, the...

    I HAD to open up the last picture to see what your chameleon was "holding".. i thought you had made a tiny rolling pin for it! :rolleyes:

    Cricket with yellow eyes? (Warning: Creepy cricket image!)

    The cricket scientific name is Gryllus Bimaculatus (African Crickets). When I look for information of them and yellow eyes, I don't really find much in terms of information. It might be an abnormal eye pigmentation, as I do find images of them with yellow eyes on google images (Although rarely)...

    Storing food

    Not a problem! If your first chameleon ends up being very young, you might want to feed it some of the following choices: Fruit flies (If you buy one pack, it should last a while. These also depend on how small the chameleon is, since the fruit flies are very small), blue/green bottle flies...
