I feed cuttlebone to my turtles and use it in gutloads from time to time. I know it helps my turtles get more calcium, but I have never crushed it and used as a supplement for chams or other lizards. Im pretty sure it will work though. I would try it if you cant find anything else. Goodluck!

I and many others keep chams outside in FL most to all of the year. FL is a large state with many different niches. If your cham seems pleased with being outdoors, then you should keep him/her outdoors. Nothing beats natural sunshine and FL's high humidity. Remember to keep an eye on it. If it...

Pretty! Could she be gravid? Also, all Hawaiian Jacksons are Xanths.

I dont think you would catch much in saltwater unless around a marsh or near brackish water. Even then. I highly doubt a fish in the north Atlantic off a pier would have any interest in them. Now freshwater is different. There are probably lots of different freshwater fish in all kinds of...

Well eating lizards helps keep these populations strong, healthly and reproducing. How is that not factual? Silkworms, superworms, crickets, dubias etc. etc. etc. are alien to chams but we feed our chams them. They live and reproduce just fine dont they? Introduced, alien, whatever there eating...

Ferret, so your saying no boned animals at all? You know best? Im not doing your homework. Give google a try... You will find some creditable something on the subject of chameleons natural diets. Try Parsons Chameleon. That should put you on the right track. Remeber there isnt just one way to...

Just picked up my copy of "The Veiled Chameleon" by Wolfgang Schmidt. Page 82 has a great photo of a veiled eating a leopard gecko. Then on the opposite page 83 theres a photo of one eating furry mouse....

Im pretty sure about every basic cham care book has mentioned this. Also here in south Florida we have two documented species chameleon (C.calyptratus and F.oustaleti) that consume large amounts of lizards regularly. Maybe you should look into the subject a little more. Theres lots of great info...

It is a fact that some chameleon species do eat lizards, frogs, small birds, small mammals etc. They shouldnt be used as a staple by any means, but they do and should have a boned snack from time to time in my opinion. Ive feed veileds and panthers lizards before multi times with no problems...

Cool. Just keep in mind that there are at least two other species of anoles that look a lot like carolinensis in south Florida. Goodluck with your project!

She looks gravid to me! Goodluck with her.

Avoid toads! Some animals eat toads but I sort of doubt most chams do. Toads are generally terrestrial and chams are generally arboreal so they probably wouldnt cross paths. Also toads especially bufos are posionous. If the toads are Bufo marinus, it would sure kill your chameleon. No toad snacks!!!

Stefan, are you sure your catching green anoles? There are a couple of non-native species that are becoming more common that look a lot like greens. Heres an old thread of mine about anoles. Theres a photo of a green that looks a lot like the native but isnt...

Thats "variegated" Ivy. Not sure if its safe. It wont grow where I live so I have no experience with it, but I'm 100% sure its ivy if that helps.

Very nice veiled! Thanks for sharing.

Yup! A few here and there dont hurt. They can be gutloaded.

Will do! Its been a while since I've set it up. Down to only two chams and my other herps dont really eat flying critters. But I will still set it up and show you what I get. Just give me a few days to a week. Hopefully my cheesey camera will let me take some night photos.

Could you post some photos of them? Are you S.A.? Just curious.

Hilarious!!!

Whats up with the photos? Thinking of buying my self a Mako!
