I've had my veiled chameleon for a week now, he is almost 4 months old, he has been eating and drinking since I brought him home. He seems happy enough and is active during the day. I just have a few questions..
He has been eating crickets, and I have got some hoppers for him ( let him try one and it was gone in seconds), also have given him a couple of waxworks which I won't be giving him alot. I have also ordered calci worms.. What is another good stable for him ( silks, butter worms?)
I haven't been handling him much at all as I feel he is super nervous ( I would be if I was his size) but I do want to get to a stage where he can allow me to handle him ( if we have to go to vets, or outside if we ever get sun in Scotland, etc) what is the best way to go about it? He has stopped hiding when we are near his viv and now sits looking at us... I know they are not the type of animal that enjoys being handled but sometimes you have too.
Any help or advice will be welcomed...
