I have a male veiled that HATES red!! I have had him over 3 years and you can go into his cage with any color except red. Actually he isn't crazy about orange either but not to the same extent as red.
Welcome to the forum!!
Do you know what the temperature is at his basking spot? The reason I ask is it looks like a "red" heat bulb. These really throw off the heat and could burn your chameleon if it gets too close. Most on here just use a regular incandescent light bulb for basking. He looks...
It's been said on here a hundred times before and I'm sure I'm going to sound like "the bad guy" but here it goes...
When you buy a cham from these stores it just shows "head office" that they can make money on these. Next month there will be more. Until they realise they are more trouble then...
I hope you don't mind me posting some pics in your thread for comparison?

Some people use a thumb tack through the screen and into a wooden branch. I do this but use small stainless screws instead of tacks. I also pre drill small holes in the branch so it doesn't split.

I know alot of the European keepers feed ALOT less...
When you are talking dubias it depends on the size. I have never let my chams eat till they stop. Do you think they get 14 locust a day in the wild?
My two year old Panther eats about 4-5(almost full grown,about 1" long) dubia every other day and has been on this for over a year.
