One option would be to offer a free class on basic reptile husbandry thru perhaps a locally owned pet store. It kills me not just when chameleons suffer from poor husbandry, but the bearded dragons and leopard geckos. I think they are probably the most popular and so are more likely to suffer...
Agreeing 100% with @Beman but also something for you to take into consideration. Those who need the guidance the most are less likely to be willing or able to pay.
Mango threw himself to the floor (laminate on concrete) last week when I tried to take him to get an extra silkworm. 😱 No matter how slow I move, he freaks out as soon as we approach the living room. I used to think it was the dog that scared him, but the dog is gone, so the next suspect is the...
I’ve often looked at my dried mango and wondered, but I love the stuff too much to share with my bugs. I’ve also looked at nuts and wondered. A few weeks ago I had dropped a cheez/peanut butter cracker and was curious so gave it to my adult roaches. I thought they might like the peanut butter...
The way around that is to have different species. ;) My girl panther is Nosy Be and my boys are Ambilobe. I do have a male and female veiled, but I would never put Stella thru that. (Her one and only love was Hammlet and he’s passed)
I have both of my panther boys in my bedroom. Not sure which of us spends more time staring at the other. 🥰 Unfortunately I have Mango nearest the door, so every time I walk in and he sees me, he rushes over to his door, thinking he can come out. Makes me feel bad, so I often do oblige him.
How many insects are you feeding to her and how often? She does look a bit thin to me - her casque is a bit concave along with being able to see her ribs so prominently and her spine. Mealworms aren’t good feeders except for maybe in a pinch. Attaching the feeder graphic along with the ‘gutload’...
Hi. Nothing in your husbandry is really standing out to me except what you are feeding your bugs. Yellow and orange veggies are high in (proformed) vitamin A. This is the type of A which is water soluble and easily excreted and is the one which we are unsure if chameleons are able to utilize it...
I’m in Florida and can’t get my temps below around 74 unless I want to go bankrupt. My electric bill is insanely high enough. I had tried a room ac but it just wasn’t enough. My solution is not to boost humidity at night except for a very slight amount. I run the Mist King for 15 seconds, twice...
I’ve heard of it being done in more southern Florida and find it totally irresponsible, amongst a few other negative things. It’s things like this that give reptile keeping and keepers a bad name and reputation. These poor animals are considered invasive here in Florida and like it or not, they...
