I went to every other day feedings when my male veiled was around a year old. Monty now eats 10-12 crickets or ~8 medium to large (not adult) dubias every other day. On some inbetween days I'll give him 2-3 superworms.

Anyone using this product for adult veilds? I just used a very small amount last time I dusted and fed my 1.5 year old male veiled.

I use Repashy calcium plus LoD. I dust and feed staple feeders every other day. On inbetween days I'll lightly dust a few superworms as a treat. I have superpig too but I have just started to use it.

1. 16 months 2. male veiled 1.5 years I dust with Repashy calcium plus LoD at every feeding. He now eats staple feeders every other day. Crickets or Dubias. on inbetween days he eats 2-3 dusted superworms. I don't dust hornworms or silkies when I have them

I've found a 75w bulb will produce plenty of basking heat (~90F) while still being 8 inches from the top of my veild's casque. He's 1.5 years old. During warmer months I switch it out with a 60w bulb. Still plenty of heat.

Good luck. She will turn up. I accidently left the door open on my enclosure one time and my little guy was two rooms down the hall on our babies changing table. It was hours later that he was there. Don't lose hope you'll find her.

Shipping and handling to Rhode Island using FedEx for a large keepers enclosure. $35.59. Not bad at all.

Get a mistking. Why even bother with something else. Many of us on this forum will agree. Keeping chameleons is not a cheap hobby. Buy the best equipment you can and it will treat you well.

What kind of enclosure do you have?

You should have saved up for a proper enclosure before purchasing a chameleon. This will help you out immensely as you are in need of some guidance. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/

They make chameleon specific gut load (superload) that would be more beneficial to your chameleon.

Warm water will breed bacteria which will require you to clean your misting reservoir frequently. When my Cham is shedding and the humidity is low I will hand mist warm water. He doesn't like either. Some chams, it seems, don't like being misted directly.

Go with a screen enclosure. People use coroplast, shower curtains, and plastic to maintain humidity in winter then remove the coverings when needed. Dragon Strand makes excellent enclosures. I got mine from a site sponsor FLchams. Very good quality as well.

Monsoon misters are all junk. They have an almost 100% failure rate. Some last a few days, some last a Don't waste your money on one. If you already have one sorry. Get a mistking system. Sooooo much better and much more reliable.

Most crickets stay in the cup. Some do inevitably jump out. If they do get out my Cham seems to hunt them down before lights out. I put my "cup" in 30 min after lights on so he has plenty of time to feed at his leisure.

Just cover the soil with rocks. Any rocks big enough not to be injested will do.
