Hello! New owner of a Veiled Chameleon!

[Evinin]

Hello! Can you help me to know if my chameleon is a he or a she? Also we are new chameleon owner and we are a little confused on how to feed it. We currently given superworns and crickets but we are now changing to waxworms and dubia roach. How many a day should we feed it. Our chameleon is about 7 to 8 months old.

thank you

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Could you post some pictures of the back of his/her back feet? In one of the pictures I am seeing a tarsul spur but I’m not completely sure. As for feeding you should be feeding about 10 bugs every other day. You can cup feed, hand feed, or free range your insects. I would suggest cup feeding so you can keep track of how much he/she is eating. If you would like us to do a full husbandry review just ask.

Congrats on the new addition to your family. Lots of great information on this site to get you started. Looks like a female but hard to tell without a clear pic of the back of its hind feet. I have a female veiled. I mostly feed crickets. Sometimes I cup feed, other times I dump them in the cage and let her hunt. I occasionally feed BSF larvae or a super worm.
