I'm so glad you took your chameleon to the vet and got some advice, I hope he is doing much better now!

I used to have some chameleons- they are extremely picky, can be labor intensive to care for and unfortunately it took me a few of the little guys to get the hang of it. We had a Senegal cham (he lasted about 6 months, died after getting a tail wound he couldn't quite recover from) a Carpet cham (I think we had him for about 3 months, couldn't get his living conditions just right and he bit it) and then a Parson's cham (he was sick when we got him and died within a week, those bastards).

Then I got a 3 week old Panther cham and raised him from about an inch long to a robust healthy 10 or 12" (plus tail). I still think of him as one of my greatest achievements
He loved to eat anoles (small lizards, I just let it go in the cage and let him hunt it) pinky mice and lots of crickets.

do you have a good drip system to get him water?
Dust his food w the supplements?


good luck with him, post some pics
TX Girl Reviewed by TX Girl on . Anybody know lizards? I got a veiled chameleon that's not really eating. He kinda likes being hand fed live grubs and roaches and stuff. But I *^&%*(&^%)&^)*&%^)_(^) hate bugs. I hold cups of grubs in front of him but he seems to get distracted a lot by anything but his food. So I was wondering if any of you guys might have any feeding techniques you might use for your reptile or whathaveyou. He's getting in pretty bad shape so suggestions would be very much appreciated.
