Hi all, I had a few left over horn-worms that my male Veiled chameleon "Chubbs" didnt eat and decided to let them pupate. After weeks of research and husbandry , i successfully hatched several hawk-moths and had a couple breed after hand feeding them. I now have hundreds of horn-worm eggs...

My boy Chubbs basking.

Thanks for sharing, I guess I'm gonna go ahead and just build something like this.

Think this will work as a drainage pan?

Yes I plan on getting some isopods, springtails, etc. And will be adding a layer of hydroton, mesh screen and leaf litter on top. I just threw all of this together today. But by the end of the week I'll have the drainage layer finished and will be loading it with branches. Thanks for the input!!

Chubbs and his new home, 4'x2'x2' All live plants At the bottom I have some organic soil and moss in a drainage pan. I did all this in one day so I will be making a few adjustments and will post progress pictures. Hope you all like it.

Yes he will be 3 years old September, but so far he has been calm and I've never seen him grumpy "fingers crossed ". Definitely makes it easier for them to be comfortable around you getting him at a young age.

Lol sounds like my male veiled, he always wants to come out every time he sees me moving around and I've also had him since he was 3 months old and he just enjoys exploring and hanging out with me. Here is a picture of him basking this morning after his breakfast.

I have a mistking, reptifogger and drip system so he will always stay hydrated. Let me know what you all think/ if i should change or add anything. His diet consists of, crickets, dubia roaches, superworms and blueberries which are his favorite. Occasionally he'll eat collard greens and munch on...

I would get a couple more varieties of feeder insects like, superworms, silkworms, waxworms, hornworms or whatever you can get at your petstore. Chameleons love a variety in their diet and will be good to have extra food incase something happens to the crickets. Congratulations on the wedding...

I wasn't trying to imply that it was the breeders fault at all. Atleast i did not mean for it to come out like that. All I meant is for anyone who wants to get into breeding make sure they take the time reading on the subject. I was very sorry that the breeder had this happen. I know this wasn't...

Sorry for your loss this is really sad to see something like this happen. To anyone that ever plans on breeding, please do your research and ask questions before attempting this. You dont want this to happen considering most chameleon eggs normally have a high success hatch rate if done correctly.

My chameleon loves the golden pothos, he also eats the umbrella and dracena, but his favorite is definitely the pothos.

Here is my veiled chameleon "Chubbs" upgraded set up. Added a nice sized pothos, umbrella and dracena plants for humidity and for him to munch and hide in. He has gotten very friendly and when i open the screen door he climbs ontop of the door and goes right to my hand. Lol he wants to come out...

Make sure you change your uvb light every 6 months and also be sure your humidity and basking temperatures are at the correct levels. Any updates from the vet ? Also live plants help with humidity, just be sure they are safe/ non toxic and also be sure to change / re-pot them with organic soil...

Thanks Jann, they grow so fast. This is him at the end of December about 3 months old. :)
