Thanks! Switched to smaller worms, got bad advice from one of the staff at the reptile store. Talked to the other guy their and he showed me the proper size.
might not wanna over do it I've seen mine eat a large meal worm and it vomited shaking its head really quick scary shit seriously good thing hes okay looking better then ever too he's a jethro blood line veiled chameleon
Mealworms and hornworms are different I suggest not feeding them that because their exoskeletons are really hard to digest for chameleon so maybe that’s why it threw up
I'm grossed out by these Hornworms. I don't even want to feed them to my Chameleon, but he has to eat so I'm giving a few small ones to see if he even likes them.
Rayneger01 The new generation glass terrariums are built with air vents so that they maximize air flow and can be used for chameleons. Glass aquariums are bad for chameleons, glass terrariums built with suitable ventilation are fine.
If you provide adequate climbing branches and cover, chameleons should spend very little time (if any) climbing on the walls of the enclosure. Some keepers go so far as to use climbing on the walls as a diagnostic of illness.
Hey you shouldent feed your veild chameleon or any chameleon for that matter any thing bigger then the middle of there head because it is a choke hazzerd
That rule don't apply to soft bodied insects like hornworms,silkworms or any worm for that matter. Only if the width of the worm was thicker then his eyes not length.
If he lives in a cold climate area, then a glass enclosure is perfectly fine as it will help keep temps where they need to be, as long as proper ventilation is provided.
No you use screened cages i get if its colder to use glass but i had mine in glass temporarily and he started to attack his reflection. They're supposed to be in screens for ventilation and so they can climb better, they use the whole cage to move around. Plus they can get up to 2 feet long and glass tanks are more expensive than a screen cage. Mine has the biggest you can get and i got it for $115 shipping included so not only is it cost efficient its also better for your chameleon. If you search for chameleon cages you'll see they're almost always screen ones so yeah the original commenter is correct
