Hi!
My veiled hasn't eaten now for 7 days. I took him to an exotics vet for deworming 2 days ago (the vet did did deworm him, and gave him an appetite stimulant, medicam) but did not see any problem, and was more than happy to suggest hundreds of dollars of tests, all to be performed at...
To response back to your questions:
1. In an all screen aluminum cage: 36 inch high.
2. Basking temp: Around 85-90 degrees.
I did bring him to an Exotic Vet. Turned out she really didn't know much about C. although she would never admit it! All she wanted to do was to take his...
Hi!
Question: What time frame should I allow before taking him to a Vet when my Chameleon shows no interest in food for the last 3 days. If you recommend me that I take him to the Vet, should he also get de-wormed just as a pre-caution. He's not WC. but maybe he has an upset stomach from...
Hi!
When you mentioned that you have a Sugar Glider, I have a pair of them! I wonder how many other Chameleon owners also have Sugar Gliders as pets, too! Sorry to other Viewers that this is a diversion from the topic.

Hi!
I was just at this Berkeley Reptile store 2 weeks ago and they had the most awesome full grown adult Ambilobe Panthers selling for only $349.00 and yes, they were all exceptionally healthy and had the most beautiful coloring!! I definitely know next time where to buy my next Chameleon...
Hi!
Is it O.K to use purverized high quality dog kibble as cricket gutoad? One web site suggested doing that instead of buying expensive high-quality gut-load thru the internet. However, other sites suggest it's not a good idea to use kibble and instead, either make your own homemade...
Hi!
Has he always sucked in his body during the day? Is his tail curled and relaxed during the day?
How long ago did you acquire him? For your Veil to be now 3 years old, you must be doing something right if you raised him from a juvenile!

Hi!
There are so many gut-load cricket food out on the market and on-line to buy. Need your recommendation as to a specific brand that has worked for you and would happily recommend to anybody else!
Thanks,
Christine
Regarding making the chow yourself-Easy!
The packaged mix that you make yourself is very easy to make, too! Just put in large microwave container mixed with hot water, microwave for 2 minutes to almost bubbly state, stir, microwave again for an additional 1 -2 minutes, stir and you're done...
You really are an excellent picture tak! By your pics, both your J. Chameleons look gorgous and seem exceptionally healthy!
Would love to own J. Chameleons but since I live in CA, the humidity is nothing like living in HI or in the Southern states where they can thrive in full humidity...
Hi!
Phoenix worms are great for even young 2 month old Chameleons because they are extra small and easily digestible and supply a lot of natural calcium! Even the large phoenix worms sold on mulberryfarms.com are small enough for a young Chameleon to swallow.
My Veil started off on...
Hi!
Now that my 5 month old male Veil is reaching sexual maturity, he is getting a bit more hissy and will try and lash at my hand when try and get him out of his cage to hold him.
My remedy, I use a small dish towel rag to protect my hand and fingers when I take him out. He puts up a...
Hi!
I am a huge fan of Mulberry Farms! Best mail-order company that I have dealt with so far and the insects are active and in top condition!
I like the fact that you can specific a particular size of silkworm in the container by noting it in their comment box and that the crickets come...
Hi!
Regarding expense, I think a big consideration is the live insect expense especially starting off and buying a baby C.! To buy extra small silkworms and crickets appropriate to the size of the C., it will mean mail-ordering insects because pet stores don't carry silkworms and only pin...
Hi!
The crickets at the pet shop are usually to large to give to such a young juvenile C. unless they are pin-head size.
The best way is to buy crickets on-line from a company that specializes in breeding crickets of various sizes.
Just a recommendation: At Mulberryfarms.com, you...
My junvenile Veil loves those Phoenix worms! (The small size is perfect for giving to young Chameleons.) I get them from Mulberry Farms.
They are very convenient to store. No refrigeration needed and odorless. The other benefits are that they are reasonably inexpensive to buy, have very...
Hi!
Is your Chameleon still drinking water and pooping normally? Hopefully, that's a good sign if everything else is going O.K.
Can I suggest an excellent food stimulant.....It's Phoenix Worms and you can order them thru Mulberryfarms.com. (You can order both the Phoenix worms and...
