    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..

    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.

    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.

    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.

    So you only want to use hornworms once or twice a week because it will start to affect the bowel movement of the veiled chameleon. Silkworm is you can give to them as much as they can eat but absolutely do not give them as many hornworms as they can handle, strictly one or two a week. They are low in protein and you're mostly giving them water.

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?
