Raising baby Oustalet's

[pantherchameleonpal]

Hello all fellow chameleon lovers,
I have recently required a baby oustalet's and I would like anyone's advice on how to give the best care for them. I have raised Jackson's before, but the oustalet is a new species for me that I want to make sure that I am giving the best care. Information on these impressive animals is very scarce, so if you have had success with these reptiles please contact me!

Thank you so much for all your help! - Zac

HUGE
Treat like a veiled but with a panther diet(no veg). They dont seem to drink as much water as the rest either.

Yeah I know they get really large, mine is still under six inches. Do you know how much food they should be consuming in a week?

at 90 days mine was consuming 2-3 dozen 1/2" crickets a day. I think he was 8-9" though(he is 14" at 8 months). Before 90 days just make sure they get their fill (has a few left over) twice a day. Before 90 days they may not cup feed though.

Wow! That's a lot! But so far that has been the story of my life. Feed him till he's full every day. Thanks for all your help!
