Since she has owned the Chameleon for over 4 months now he has grown a bit since she first brought him in. His main diet consist of crickets, superworms, and the occasional mealworm. Eat insect is gutloaded with a variety of leafy greens such as spinach, Roman lettuce, celery, mustard greens...
I just received more detailed information.
Here is another curve ball to add as well. Sometimes her chameleon does not always eat all 5 crickets in the first day and he may or may not eat all them during the "by day" in the schedule. There may be 1 or even two crickets left in the cage...
^^ Many experts who deal with Veiled Chameleons including Brad a member of this forum, say that it is best to feed them every other day as opposed to every day to prevent obesity.
Let's say if all cage requirements are perfect and temps and etc are as they should be how often should an adult 7-8 month old veiled chameleons poop? Also, what can cause them not to poop as much or as often?
I'm very sorry for being vague, it's just a question I was wondering about.
I have arranged a much larger 8in deep pan for her to be able to lay her eggs.
As I said I have filled it with coconut fiber, spagnum moss, and a very little soil in the nesting box. The good news is that the little girl is eating and appears to be doing just fine. She is due sometime this...
So today, we had decided to take her Chameleon over to the vet to see what's going on. After about an hour of question asking and examining. We have discovered what was the cause of the odd "sleepy like" symptoms with the Cham's eyes. The pictures below pretty much do the explaining :)...
I just got off the phone with my friend and she said that she has just started noticing it over the last 3 days.
I managed to get her dusting schedule too.
Here's what she is using..

I wanted to get everyones opinion about Zoo Meds 75watt and 100watt "Repti Basking Spot Lamp". Are these bulbs known to cause eye problems or possibly might impair the vision of a Chameleon? How are these bulbs if you are using them working for you and how long have you been using them? If you...
I was over at a good friends house of mine just the other night. She had just bought a juvenile veiled Chameleon.
chameleon Info: Veiled Chameleon, Male, About 5-7 months old, She has had her for about 3 weeks.
Handling - Here is the funny thing about this. When ever my friend opens the cage...
Your saying that I would get better gut loaded results for feeding my crickets Veggies and Greens? Can you please list a few good food options for my crickets that would best suite me Chams? Thanks!
I personally treat meal worms as I would wax worms and feed them to both of my Chams sparingly. I look at it like eating Burger King or McDonalds. Yea it's good and all but you really do not want to eat that regularly because it is so fating same as the meal and wax worms. But, once in a while...
The really should offer Cheeleon 101 at all the major universities :P
I actually do offer him other various greens as well to munch on such as Mustard Greens "I really hate the smell of them". As for gut loading my crickets I strongly believe that I do an excellent job in that. LOL my...
Today I noticed something a little odd with my male Veiled Chameleon. I have a few Pothos plants in his cage and I had noticed that he's been munching on them quite a bit lately. I've been seeing bite marks and sections of the leaves missing so I know he's eating them. I know that Golden Pothos...
