I have a one year old veiled that i rescued from the pet store i worked at ( she was brought in by someone) i did not know much about chameleons other then the scare easy,need water,light and food. Her name is caydon so you know who i am talking about. She is housed in a decent size screened cage with plants hung around a water bowl and wood chips as beeding. For the first six months of having her ( i got her at ten weeks old) her uvb 5.0 bulbs were on 24 hours a day and i did not have a basking lamp and did not know i needed one but i knew her temp in the cage needed to be higher so i put her in a room by herself with a heater to keep the temp in the room at 85 24 hours a day. at about 7 months my old boss started asking me questions he thought i knew more then i did and told me i was crazy. so i know turn off the lights and turn down the heater around 10:00pm and turn them back on around 10:00 am. i feed her about ten crickets( they are gut loaded) a day but she wont eat them if i dust them. so instead when i feed her greens i put the calcium ( rep-cal calcium with vit.d3 ultra fine powder) on them and she eats it up. she is very happy and has great color and is getting very big i know i did not do everything right but i seams to have worked for her but now i have brought home a gracious and want to do everything right this time so if anyone could give me advise on how i should have the cage set up and feeding that would be great i want to give her the best life possible no idea on how old she is i have pics of her and her cage under the health forum under low energy low food intake put up be me. right now she has a hood with two 5.0 uvb bulbs and a home made basking light she gets prayed every few hours and is given crickets as she needs them going to get her worms today. she is very time need to fatten her up and would like to see better color thanks for any advise you can give
Even if you don't buy anything from him, he
