My 14 old wants a vailed chameleon. Before we say yes I have been binge watching everyone of your videos. Your like a chameleon whisperer. So helpful!!!!
May I add Hornworms should only be offered as a treat? They’re chock full of gooey nutrition however overfeeding a chameleon hornworms will result in gout from the high level of protein hornworms provide.
Northern Maryland Geckos Very true! Too much of anything isn’t a good thing. That’s why I wanted to make it clear that variety is so important! Thanks for adding this though!
Hibiscus is such a nice thing to know! Because I actually grow hibiscus naturally, no pesticides. I love hibiscus and chameleons. I also typically garden lots of the veggies you said I also have apple tries. My future chameleon will definitely be fed proper food.
My Veiled loved green leaf lettuce. Your guy is absolutely gorgeous ! Love the fact he has weight. That plate of food looks like me going to feed the crickets ✌🏻❤
I'm planning on getting a veiled chameleon pretty soon and these videos are genuinely so helpful to me because I cannot find anyone who explains in detail like this!! I have about two pages of notes just from your videos about them on how to take care of them just so I get everything needed for my little guy 😁
Your chameleon looks gorgeous. Wow. He's so puffed up and beautiful. Just like my Georgia. The t5 HO uvb linear lights are the best, as is bringing them outside and letting her play in the garden, but I have to stay close.. She gets fed superworms and crickets, both with reptivite.. she also eats her vegetation sometimes inside her terrarium, which is devils ivy, and I just got an umbrella tree and spider plant for her..
Can they eat watercress? I know that leaf is good for hydration but is it safe for them?? EDIT: Thanks for the informative video, great job! I've been looking into buying my 1st one. Been researching for a while now :3
My daughter brought home a veiled chameleon. He wasn’t eating, didn’t open his eyes and was losing weight fast. He refused to eat so I started syringe feeding green veggie baby food and wax worms. He has gotten so much better. He moves around, his eyes are open now and he has put on a little weight. I want him to eat on his own now but I do not know how to get him to eat on his own. He will not do it. Any suggestions would be great plz. I have added a potho plant to his enclosure to help keep moisture in. I want to rehome him because my daughter has lost interest. But no one will take him due to not Eating on his own.
Came home from a trip to find my 14 year old had gotten a baby veiled chameleon. Trying to catch up on the care. What was the light bulb you said to use? Can I give her wax worms along with the crickets. Where is the best place on line to get crickets. Can i leave the crickets in the cage with Yoshi?
I just got a chameleon today and I was wondering if they eat the crickets alive or if they want them dead? I saw at the end that his insects were alive but I just want to be 100% sure. Thank you so much!
I suggested this :)))))) thank you! I got a rescue chameleon and haven’t found a good source for a guide for his diet so I’ve just been doing salads and crickets
I heard that feeding super worms is dangerous for chameleons because they can eat through their skin and they are too high in phosphorus... is that true? Or can I still feed super worms
I just got a chameleon two days ago and I plan on putting him on a veggie diet, this is my first time owning one so any and all tips if very very helpful
I always offer my Jackson Chameleon veggies but he always wants nothing to do with them. Luckily he isn’t too picky with insects. His favorites are crickets and Dubia roaches. He’ll eat hornworms whenever I offer them and he’ll eat superworms, wax worms, black solider larvae, ect when offer but here and there he’ll turn those down. Luckily I have my own Dubia roach and superworms colony so that helps. I rather not breed crickets so I just buy them in bulk and keep them in an enclosure where they’re fed and taken care of until they all get fed off. I’m also getting a Panther Chameleon soon which is exciting.
Can I not feed my chameleon crickets? I'm really scared of insects but I can deal with worms and your chameleon looks so beautiful!! This video is so helpful! Back to the insects that the chameleon eats can it eat variety of worms and get enough nutrients and occasionally roaches that you talked about?
I’ve tried giving leafy greens or veggies and he doesn’t eat them. I’ve only had my veiled cham for 3 weeks but it’s been much more stressful than anticipated. He is just the biggest scaredy cat and “faints” anytime I mess with his cage so it’s been so hard because I have to get him out when his cage needs cleaning but I’m afraid the stress is going to kill him 😔 Should I keep trying to offer greens in hopes he’ll try it?
I have never cared for a chameleon or lizard and I really want one. So if you have any tips on which ones are good for a beginner or any other tips for me that would be really really great!
It's good to use live plants, especially with veiled chameleons, so they can munch on the leaves. Check FL Chams for a safe plant list. Otherwise, focus mostly on insects and use carrots and other veggies to gutload your crickets, etc! Also, the BEST feeder for a chameleon is BSFL because they are chock FULL of calcium.
At what age/time you recommend to start feeding fruits and veggies to Veiled Chameleons? My baby girl it's almost 2 months now and transition from small crickets to medium size.
Most of the nicer bugs like dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, Phoenix worms, silk worms, etc you can order online from different feeder companies. Even crickets usually come in larger amounts online, and online stores will usually sorts each by size which is great just to feed and start colonies.
I only just started looking into chameleons so I won't get one for a while but does this also apply to panther chameleons? Like are there any foods she talks about that Panthers can't eat or are they basically the same diet-wise?
I live in Arkansas and we have high humidity naturally, before misting his take is around 55-60. When misting he tank can get up to 80-90% very fast. What can I do about this?
Daily calcium without D3 where can I get that and what kind? I am new to this, and just want to make sure that I give my chameleon the right stuff to keep it healthy!
Shannon Tanke Panthers are usually more colorful, a little more friendly, but have a higher and more challenging humidity requirement. Veileds are known for being very feisty, they’re cheaper, easier to find, and are a little easier to care for because of the lower humidity requirement. So it’s totally up to you and what you’d like
So if the roaches get out of my enclosure will it infest my home ? I mean will it be like as if i brought regular roaches into my house? Serious question by the way..I have been avoiding feeding my chemeleon roaches because i dont want to infest my home with them if they escape.
I know you love feeding your reptiles superworms. Yesterday I heard that superworms are meelworms with chemicals, so that they can't become beetles, but instead grow into larger and larger worms. Is this true, how humane is it to do such thing and will those chemicals affect the reptiles you are feeding the worms to?
@@reptiliangarden no problem! Would you be able to let me know when you found out more about it? I find it kind of hard to find sources that I can trust, but I do believe you.
@@reptiliangarden false alarm! Someone in the comments of the video I saw earlier, explained that they are two different worms and that sprinkling chemicals on the mealworms won't make such changes. I couldn't find anything about chemicals while searching online either, but I did read that they are different from each other. Thank goodness for that!
Esther1897 those are called giant mealworms, they are given a hormone that prevents a normal mealworm from turning into a beetle so that they will just keep growing larger. Superworms are a different type of worm and can turn into beetles. They look very similar though because their appearance is the same and their size is about the same too.
Genessa De La Garza I would recommend getting at least a 4 foot tall enclosure right away. They are full grown at about 6 months. They grow very quickly
Hey I just wanted to know what food to get if you could send me the link to the best food to get that you know that would help me out a lot thank you ❤
Great video and very informative! Thank you! 😊 Got a question though, my veiled is about 5months old now, pretty good size but I don't think quite full grown. But he is quite defensive when I try to take him out of the cage for cleaning and all that and do you think hand feeding will still work when he's this old? I just don't want him to get pissed everytime 😅 I hand fed him once as a baby, which I should have done more. Think he'll still go for it?
What if variety’s of insects are scarce in your town? I’m scared to try online shipping but if someone like you recommended a site I’d try it because all I can get is crickets and their tiny
In her description she has a Josh’s frogs link, which is also used by another really good chameleon account (Neptune the Chameleon). You can order there.
I posted this question on another one of your videos. But I thought I would ask here too. Okay, so I have the Picture This app. It said that the Golden Pathos is toxic to pets and humans. Google says that you can use it for chameleons. I’m so confused.
Hi, we just got a maybe 2 months or a little more veiled chameleon, he doesnt seem big enough for super worms. When should we increase his bug size? He is about 8".
warkingnavas118 It isn’t necessary to remove the seeds. Just cut it into small pieces for him and that should be fine! Fruits should only be given as treats every once in a while though since they’re very sugary.
Nvrm..sorry I commented before I continued watching (: but when you say no pesticides,can I grow hibiscus? Or will the seeds from the store have pesticides on them?🌺
Whatever you're doing for that chameleon, keep at it! He is one of the prettiest and healthiest looking chameleons I have ever seen!
Caroline Kelley Thank you so much!!! That’s the greatest compliment 💕
I totally agree he looks so healthy !!!
What kind of plant life can I put in the cage with my baby veiled chameleon my baby veiled chameleon to help with its digestive tract
He is beautiful 😍😍❤️❤️❤️

Me and my partner feed our rescue pied fruits and veggies. Blueberries, apples, carrots and peas are some of his favorites.
I also have no clue how your not terrified of the bugs!! I hate bugs.... but I am slowly getting over my fear of them since my chameleon needs them 😂

thank you so much this vid helped a lot, our vailed chameleon was not eating the crickets that we gave him so
we tried out this and it worked!
would it be okay to just feed a cham different types of worms because i really really want one but my sister is TERRIFIED of jumping insects
Do you use a feeder dish? How do you get him to eat his greens??

Where do you find the tropical linear bulbs ? And what recommend watts 5.0,10.0,25.0 my chameleon is around 6momths

Do you need to put calcium on the greens ?
Oooo do a turtles diet 101 please! That would be so fun to watch :3

Thoughts on locusts as food ?
Thanks very helpful
how often should you feed them hornworms? i know feeding them hornworms too often they can get gout
At what age/time you recommend to start feeding fruits and veggies to Veiled Chameleons? My baby girl it's almost 2 months now and transition from small crickets to medium size.
Should I give it freeze-dried insects?
where do you buy different insects. I only have PetSmart and Petco around me but there always out of stock
Most of the nicer bugs like dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, Phoenix worms, silk worms, etc you can order online from different feeder companies. Even crickets usually come in larger amounts online, and online stores will usually sorts each by size which is great just to feed and start colonies.
would i be able to do plants(food/veggies) and just worms? i have a thing about roaches and don’t want to buy them, but have no problem with worms!
Today sir we have this lovely salad topped with bugs and dusted with calcium powder.
Can you feed your veiled chameleon only fruits and vegetables?
I'm shocked your arm doesn't hurt you from keeping it up so long lol
xotic marvel reptiles I am a trained professional and I do my own stunts. 😂
Is it same for indian chameleon? And you haven't said anything about feeding water.
So please tell, how much and how?
i am getting a baby chameleon tomorrow and i was wondering if i could feed them the same thing you have listed,because they are so small
I only just started looking into chameleons so I won't get one for a while but does this also apply to panther chameleons? Like are there any foods she talks about that Panthers can't eat or are they basically the same diet-wise?

Where do you buy the wax worms alive? I go to the pet store and they’re always black/dead.

Do you have any advice on getting a juvenile veiled chameleon into eating dubias ? I bought some but he just doesn’t seem interested at all :(
Hello there, do you know a good breeder to get my first veil chameleon or where did you get bamba from?
Which Chameleon is better the panther chameleon or the Veiled chameleons? I'm having a hard time picking

Veileds are known for being very feisty, they’re cheaper, easier to find, and are a little easier to care for because of the lower humidity requirement. So it’s totally up to you and what you’d like

Is it healthy to skip out on uvb and just give them calcium with d3?
Julia Vazquez NO! Do not do that plz do not feed them calcium with d3 and use a uvb light your Chameleon well get sick

I just don't want him to get pissed everytime 😅 I hand fed him once as a baby, which I should have done more. Think he'll still go for it?
Yes, but mostly use tongs . If your chameleon is pissed try to tame them, most pet shops / reptile shows sell untamed chameleons.
Is it necessary to keep the light ( nightlight ) on or can the chameleon sleep well without it ?
Chameleons should not have night loghts
What if variety’s of insects are scarce in your town? I’m scared to try online shipping but if someone like you recommended a site I’d try it because all I can get is crickets and their tiny

Can this diet be used for a panther chameleon?

When you got your baby chameleon about how did it cost? I was just wondering.
I know this is 9 months ago haha but I got mine for 79-80 US dollars. But it ranges depending on where you buy them

Hi, we just got a maybe 2 months or a little more veiled chameleon, he doesnt seem big enough for super worms. When should we increase his bug size? He is about 8".
You can always feed them insects that are about the same size as between their eyes! They can handle larger prey items here and there too!
How do you feed your chameleon fruit ? Do you dice it ,sliced it , or whole ?
warkingnavas118 Dice it into small chunks without skin
What about the strawberry do I take off the seeds and use the in side of it ?
