My Veiled Chameleons

Hi All,

I finally got a chance to take photos of my Veiled Chameleons.

Big Female Angel:

Medium Female April:

Small Female Pink (Pink was the smallest one at the Pet Shop and she's got webbed feet I just could not leave her there and its been quite a struggle to get her going, but she is very special to me and a real survivor):
Image

Last, but not least my Big Male Felix:

These Photos were all taken at about 9:00 so they where sleeping and i just had to wake them up for the photos.
In my world everybody are Ponies that eat rainbows and poop Butterflies! :)

Cool stuff!

Do you keep them all in different setups...? or can keep more than one female in the same setup.

Wow, your male is nice and big hey! Flip, my male veiled used to be an eating machine, but he hasn't been eating at all recently, he's getting so thin and weak... I'm trying everything to get him eating again and get him big and strong again.

How much do you feed your male...??? and what do you feed him...???
My veiled would take from my hand, but also has cups and bowls in his setup that always has some crickets or superworms.

Have You Tried Exposing him to some natural sunlight? Might help him out!

Clay I leave my little boy outside in his avery all the time during summer, just bring him in on thise colder nights where it drops below 15, and then in winter i bring him inside at night! So you can basicalyt leave him in there perminently and aslong as he has places to hide and get out of the rain he will be fine!

Cheers thanks.
I'm hoping a bit of natural sunlight and weather will bring his appetite back.
He hardy eats anymore, getting way too thin and weak.

Hey Clay don't give up hope just yet!! I have a little male that had MBD but he is now doing great!! I think wht helped was the natural sun light that he recived, just give it a go and I sure you will see a rapid inprovment!!

Good luck and hope you little dude picks up soon!!

Coz right now he just chills on the bottom of his enclosure, drags himselve around and lies with a bit of his tongue sticking out.

I'm going to try force feed him a few gut loaded crickets with as much calcium powder and the t-rex dust product as possibe, and yeah, will get in outside in the sun... just need to sort out some kind of cage for him.

Gosh sorry asmit for hijacking your thread.

If treated early enough, he has a good chance to survive.. Just give him lots of natural sunlight and calcium. Strongs man. Please keep us updated
