Oh, well I wouldn't neglect a chameleon just 'cause vet care is expensive, don't worry. If I get one, it will be because I know I can afford him and his bills. And I have done the other three things that you mentioned!

True, but somehow I find that with panthers... it’s almost too many, so that even though all locales look different from one another, it’s hard to digest I guess? Comparatively, with a veiled, they are simple enough that I can actually pick out each one’s unique traits; taller casque, fatter...

Makes sense. Sometimes it seems to me that veileds are like gum with how they go from long and thin to short and hump-backed! That might play a part, too.

Alright, good to know. I will look through those articles once more, I didn’t think of that! The sizes given must include the tail, I suppose, otherwise they’d be massive. Even then, though, a max of 24 inches for veileds and 20 inches for a panther is still bigger than many pictures and videos...

Hi, everyone. Some might remember me from before I stopped posting, but I’m now back with more questions! Just a bit of background: I’m pretty confident that I have enough knowledge now after so much research and support from this forum to at least set up a chameleon cage. But, I still don’t...

I've checked that one out before, but it was hard to add up all of the numbers and figure out how much I would need to buy and when.

Thanks for all of the number, guys, I should be able to figure this out soon enough. =)

Good to know!

As I am just a young student, one of my concerns with owning a chameleon is the ongoing costs. Does anyone have any numbers that they can throw at me for what the yearly price of owning a veiled or panther chameleon is? Ideally from a Canadian buyers perspective? And, for that matter, what the...

Every second day.

Aright, good to know!

Does that mean that I will have to add more or is it sort of complete?

Oh, yay, alternatives! The Suriname roach sounds good.

As for a feeding plan, I don’t have a ton to go off of, but I guess something like this for an adult male Every second day, two-to-three crickets, two-to-three BSFL, one superworm and one silkworm or hornworm. Then waxworks or butter worms maybe as an occasional treat? Usual dusting and...

No..? Unless I’m mistaken. Could you elaborate on what types? Maybe it’s only dubia roaches that are illegal.

I am aiming for a panther or a veiled male, four months old or so when I get them. Maybe a Jackson’s, also male, but that’s not very likely, so I wouldn’t factor it in. I’m going to figure it out more when I have my enclosure set up and then make any necessary changes. This is because I don’t...

Roaches are illegal in Canada. I will probably use BSFL and crickets as staples. Then silkworms, superworms and hornworms in addition. Is that too few?

Would BSFL, crickets and superworms for staple feeders, and then hornworms and silkworms in addition, be enough variety for a cham? I can’t do roaches, though, because they are illegal in Canada.

COMPLETELY forgot about that! o_O Thanks for the reminder.

Hi everyone, I'd like to know how to properly feed either a male veiled or male panther chameleon at each stage of their life, assuming I'm getting one at a responsibly young age. How often should I feed them, how many insects in one serving, what do I gutload and dust the bugs with, how often...
