At Pet Paradise, we currently feed our Veiled Chameleons crickets. As they grow, they can also enjoy dubia roaches, hornworms, silkworms, black soldier fly larvae, and the occasional waxworm or superworm as treats. Adult Veiled Chameleons may also nibble on safe leafy greens such as collard greens, dandelion greens, or hibiscus leaves. Calcium and vitamin supplements should be dusted on feeder insects regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2763\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2388\"\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2388\" data-end=\"2391\"\u003eVeiled Chameleons require a tall, well-ventilated enclosure with plenty of climbing branches and live or artificial plants for cover.
