New owner

[Chefcarlos]

Hello I am a new owner to a veiled Cham. I actually found it crossing the street, I rescued her bought her a new terrarium lights,fogger,water system the works. She eats well I feed her crickets( crickets are dying before I can use them) her tail is damaged it crinkled up a bit I’m assuming a car ran over or it got caught in something. She is very aggressive, how can I tame her?

It' that little bump on heel in first picture there's so many thing you need to research to properly care for it before you tame it you can start by feeding it with a cup in your hand then just your hand and get him to come towards you they need so many things or will be better off left outside you can try dubia

If you just got him you need to let him settle in for a couple weeks before you start attempting to handle him.

He is extremely stressed which is why he is showing dark colors. Fill out the forum so we can make sure you have proper husbandry so you won't cause more stress for him.

Ok thanks for filling that out. Here's a care sheet for veileds: https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/
You should be feeding more crickets, and you should be dusting with calcium without d3 every feeding and calcium with d3 every 2weeks. You should also dust with a multivitamin every 2 weeks as well. You need to be gutloading your crickets with fresh fruits and veggies, you can do a quick search for what to use. Make sure you're misting multiple times a day. On the last question it wants to know what area you live for example: Central America, the U.K., etc.
