I have a female Yemen, now 7months old, heavily pregnant, shes now been moved from a 3x2x4ft vivarium to a 45x45x60cm Terrarium containing a bucket full of soil, a few branches and a plastic plant, but shes not been digging, was drinking a hell of alot and now her eyes are sinking into her head...
Probably a stupid question but will a male Yemen live together in peace with a female Yemen?
I have been given a female around 5months old in amazing condition, but my male is a giant and over 2yrs old so I can imagin my male would swallow her, or should I do the sensible thing and keep them apart!
This is the one answer i feared as it has run by me that he's unhappy in his enclosure and wants out all the time, but after watching sdheli420 video, there not even enclosed and still feel free to climb straight on as if we are some sort of walking tree to them haha feeling great now i no its...
I'm used to handling my Yemen once a week (if that) as he's not the friendliest, and i respect the fact that he will never bond with me but my Panther on the other hand is far the opposite, i carn't get my hands in the enclosure to muck out and feed without him making it his mission to climb...
They carn't see eachother unless one or the other is taken out, i'll have to be swift n sharp out the room when handling which isn't so often anyways, is it fear of loosing territory thats the problem?
Ok, so i recently got my new Panther (Draco) around 3months old, and still have my Veild/Yemen (Yoshi) at 3yrs 6month, anyways Yoshi changed from Green to Black once he had spotted Draco and Now hates his encloser, constantly trying to get out, and once out im really struggling to get him back...
I was told in the store 3months old and I've only had him 2weeks, I did think he was rather large for his age but I've never had a young Cham before so thought nothin of it.
Ok, so im now on my second Chameleon, and ive just recently bought myself a 3month old Blue Bar Ambilobe, so far he's been AMAZING :D
Thought i'd share some pics....
I have the height at 4ft and the depth at 2ft next to my current viv and wanted to no whats the minimum width advised to keep an adult panther, i only have 26inch to play with.
So despite what im told they are a worth while investment, only £30-£40 for a pygmy that will only live to 6months sounded a little steep specially sein as there probably already a few months old before there sold im assuming.
No species in particular, just been playing on my mind, tho my next project is hopefully a panther cham and i am toying on the idea of buying a youngster and raising him/her for a change.
Ive always been under the impression for all reptiles let alone Chams that they should be raised in small enclosures as youngsters to make sure they receive adequate lighting and food, then to slowly upgrade the enclosures as the animal grows larger, am i being stupid???
Ok so ive decided, im going to use the Exo Terra for something else, saves me messing around with the lights, im getting a vivarium made to the same sizes tho 45x45x60cm for now as he's still only a youngster, my issue is what lighting should i use seing as the viv is enclosed and the lighting...
