Yes, he's a Nosy Be! He usually has more of a "bluish" tint to him, but not on the day I took those pics. I'm glad he looks okay to you...very good to to hear! I like the yellow highlights as well. Those highlights used to be very dark, which made his mouth look dirty, lol! I'm very pleased to...
Here are some pics of my 1st chameleon who just turned a year old. I also added one of him hanging upside down as a baby for comparison! Please let me know what you think.
Also, I'm not sure why some of the spike tips on his back were dark... I've never noticed them looking that way except the...
UVB, D3, Calcium
I think that it goes something like this (please correct me if I am wrong):
UVB exposure --> Stimulates the production of D3 --> D3 aides in calcium absorption --> Both calcium and D3 are necessary to maintain healthy bones, etc.
*** I read that captive chameleons are not able...
Thank you!
I think you're right, thanks. I've been using 'Repashy Superfoods Calcium Plus' to dust the insects, which has Vitamin D in it. I was told that supplement would be sufficient. The insects are also gutloaded with"Repashy Superfoods Bug Burger', so hopefully the combination is all...
Calcium with UVB?
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! What did you mean by calcium with UVB once a month? I dust his food with calcium and have a 5.0 UVB bulb on for 12 hours daily. Sorry, but I'm not sure what the calcium with UVB monthly means...:confused:
Hello there! My little guy just had his 1st birthday and is ready for a new enclosure (he looks like Godzilla in the current one!). If possible, I'd like to address a concern I have before making any purchases...
I have a male Nosy Be who just turned a year old as I mentioned before. I am...
Thanks! I know they're not the best, but he's not eating very well and seems to like them. He's never received more than 2/day along with about 4 or 5 crickets. He rarely eats the crickets and I feel like he should be eating more overall. He did eat a wax worm yesterday, but they're still a...
I am a 1st time owner of a male Nosy Be panther chameleon (approx. 2-3 months of age):
The breeder recommended gut loading my feeders with Repashy Bug Burger and to dust them with Repashy Calcium Plus prior to each feeding. For those of you with experience...do you feel this is a good method...
That's good to know! He actually seemed to like being handled but I may be totally off considering this is my 1st chameleon. He ate a mealworm from my hand which is the only thing he's actually eaten in 3 days (at least that I have seen unless he's eaten some fruit flies). He has not touched the...
I decided to move him today to the area of my home with the least amount of traffic and I am going to not handle him anymore. I certainly don't want to cause any further stress. Sorry to hear about your male Nosy Be, but thank you for the advice.
