    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Fly right what kind and where can they be found or if i can find some crickets how small should they be?
 
That is a just hatched veiled (if that is full length with tail) and will need 1/8 to 1/4" crickets and or fruit flies. Its normally the width between the eyes is how large the food can be.

If that is a Snout to Vent length then the food items will be a little larger like 3/8" crickets and no fruit flies.

You can also use butter worms, small silkworms but no mealies til they are at least 4 weeks old.

I use Ghann.com for crickets
I use Josh's Frogs for fruit flies
 
She said they were 1 1/2"-2" snout to vent and 7 week old vields, would 1wk crickets be ok, I can get these at my LPS.
 
At tht age you should be able to feed 3/8" crickets and some small mealies, butter worms, small silks and some greens.
 
Wow, thats really small to be selling already. If you haven't purchased one yet, you might want to concider waiting until they are a little older just to be safe. That size can be a challenge for even an experienced chameleon keeper.

Veileds are pretty hardy, Ive bought many 10 lots at 3 and 4 weeks old and never had any problems, you just really have to stay on top of their care. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask, even if you read all of the books there is always something smallor large unanswered.
