Well time for another update. For those of you who remember, I had 10 baby side-stripe chameleons one night. I am so excited because they are 1 month old now, and all 10 are still doing good. I hear that is good for them to all be alive :).
I met a cham breeder who wants all 10 of them, so I...
My Chameleon, Daisy, won't eat crickets or mealworms. She loves flys so that is what I've been feeding her, but now winter is coming and flys are quickly disappearing. I've tried feeding her less often, but she still won't eat anything but flys. Any advice about getting her to eat crickets again?
I have an adult female side-stripe chameleon. Her body is about 4", so she is pretty small. She had 10 babies and I would love to keep one. Is it possible for an adult female and a juvenile female to live together? My enclosure is 18" x 18" x 36". The adult, Daisy, doesn't like to be touched...
Chameleon update
Well my little chameleons are 2 weeks old now. I still have all 10. They love their fruit flys and 1 week crickets. The crickets however seem to die so fast, I'm focusing on the fruit flys. Nummy Nummy. None of them are showing aggression yet. Once in a while they do walk over...
One of my baby side-stripe chameleon is acting funny. He is less coordinated today and fell off his branch twice. I separtated him so I could watch him closer. The rest are all doing good. One week old today, yah! Any advice?
basking
This morning when I got up a few of them had themselves all spread out just soaking up the warmth. They are such cute little guys, I'm glad their all doing good so far.:cool:
Uvb
I do know that sun won't pass through, but its always good to hear again. I didn't used to know that when I had a beardie, but I learned. They have a 5.0 UVB light, the sunlight just seems to be enjoyable to them. :)
I don't overheat
I've been watching to make sure they don't overheat, the sun goes through glass. There is a thermometer in the "sunny" area as well.
:mad: On a bad note though, I ordered my pin heads and well over half are dead. I was here when the UPS guy came, so I know they weren't...
enclosure
it is partly screened and partly glass. I know they need an all screen enclosure, so I am working on building one. Hopefully I will have it done soon.
just a little update
All 10 babies are doing good. Eating soooo many fruit flys. I ordered pin heads so they should be here today. Nummy nummy. Around this time of day, the sun comes in to their enclosure and they all move over to it. It is so adorable watching them bask in it. I've been...
Thanks
Thanks I will try to sex them when they are a little older, they are so fragile, I don't want to upset them. They are eating so much :) I need to go get another fruit fly culture tomorrow. They are eating them faster then they are hatching.
All babies doing good
All 10 babies are eating and drinking.The temp is 73. Its cute watching them drink. I've never actually seen Daisy drink, but I know she must. How often should I feed them fruit flies?
Update on Daisy and babies
I found another baby this morning, so she has 10 live babies. :) The babies temp is 73 degrees. I have attached a picture of mom (daisy) and a baby. Daisy is in her "happy" color. When she upset she turns almost black. Her body is just under 4" long (not including...
My chameleon just had 10 live babies. My local pet store that I got it from doesn't have any advice. Do you know anywhere I can find reliable information regarding raising them.
I now have no idea what kind she is. The pet store sold her as a spotted chameleon, but spotted chameleons lay...
