Hi i was wondering if it was ok to put sand as a substrate for a veiled cham. And would it do it anyharm if it got any in its mouth whilst hunting? i have him on bark at the moment but it doesnt look right in a desert set up.

any ideas please?????

thanks

First if im reading this right, veilds shouldnt be in a desert setup, they should have a nice tall cage preferably 2foot in length, 2 foot in width and 3 foot in height, setup in rainforest conditions, also they dont need substrate as they never come to the ground, you can feed them by fixing a small feeding bowl fixed near the top in one of the branches and they will take crickets form it.

Don't use any substrate at all; yemens don't go on the floor of the cage at all, but if he/she fires at prey on the substrate there is a high risk of them ingesting it and dying of impaction. Not worth taking any chances.
Hope this helps!

I use compo/sand mixture, holds moisture well, that's the only reason i use it, my cham stays up top.
