Leon passed away recently. A week before it happened he was being his normal self, but as soon as i noticed that he wasn't drinking as much as he was, i took him to a chameleon vet in my area. I gave them his poop and pee from that day to see what was wrong. He was being very lethargic all of a...
Welcome to the first post of the World Chameleon Species Tour where we are exploring the chameleons of the world with our tour guide, Jurgen Van Overbeke! Today we have made landfall on the western shore of Africa in a country called Cameroon. The Republic of Cameroon
Introduction to Trioceros...
Good Morning! I am working with Jurgen Van Overbeke to give a tour around the world to introduce the community to the world's most prominent chameleon species! So every week we will feature a new species. Jurgen will be offering his insight as one of the world's most active breeders of different...
All Time fly’s when you’re having fun! Within the last month Camille has really come out of her shell, she has taken three showers in the sink ( don’t worry we traded the water ). We have gotten her out of her cage more than two hands Can count; she has even trusted me to take her outside...
First off, if you haven't already heard this, you've got to do lots of research about all aspects of chameleon care before you're really ready to get a chameleon. If you're thinking, "it's okay, I can just get one and figure it out along the way," then you are doing it wrong and you will most...
It’s been too long and boy how Chamlie has grown. She definitely shows us her personality and she is definitely a desert chameleon, she gets so upset when it’s not hot hot in her cage and she just loves the heat. I have been working on getting more in her home like the other plant and continue...
I'm just picking up from part 1. No need to re-introduce everything. For funsies skip to the story above the last picture in this post!
Branches - I got a bundle of sticks/branches from the woods and spent a whole afternoon cleaning them up. I like to take a sharp utility knife and whittle off...
The past few months I've been focusing my love for Pepe towards his cage upgrade (and a few other small details), and I think today I finally reached a point of completion. I'll definitely give the details (and pics) needed for anyone who might be going through the same stages in chameleon care...
It’s been awhile. My sister moved out of our house and I got to take over her bedroom. This means that I finally have a window that works! Which also means, Leon can climb on the new pothos plant that hangs right infront if the window, all on the curtains, and if he wants he can climb from there...
Chamlie has definitely let her personality shine, she does not like us much unless we have food. She adores the dogs and will go where ever she can in her home to watch the dogs it’s actully quite funny.
I would say her favorite things to do are hang/watch the dogs,eatting and when it’s...
Today Chamlie actually ate some worms! She was all over cage exploring looking for the crickets, this is the only time she is truly happy. No cal worms just not her style until this morning I think she was starving but she is eatting crickets like crazy. I know she’s growing so I’m doing my...
Chamlie was moody today, she was caught hanging out over her laying bin serveral times so I don’t know if she was hunting or actually looking lay eggs. She was not into worms at all I think she prefers crickets . I added more ivy to her home but I don’t think she likes it she stays far away from...
3rd Day:LOL: was a success as far as getting some new things in Chamlies home. Still not hand feeding and more interested in feeding then anything. She gets sad when she eats all 9 small crickets so I gave her four more and that seemed to peel her right up. I got one of her two plants placed in...
:pChamlie was a little more sensitive to the dogs, more like she knew they where there.
She has jumped on eatting Free range crickets but, still has not taken to hand feeding yet; maybe tomorrow fingers crossed . After she had 11 crickets she climbed half way up her home and showed off her...
Our 1st day together was a little bit of a rough one only while she was at the petstore, which she did not want leave for the life of her!
Literally took us three Days :p:cool:
*I’ll explain below*
:unsure: 1st day we went to get it was to late and we had nothing set up.
:oops: 2nd day we...
Well my baby girl Clyde passed last night in her sleep after waiting for me to get home from work she had tons of eggs for 3 days and was exhausted and weak despite. Refusing to eat she always drank water was loving energetic and cuddly unlike most chameleons she was one of a kind I can't...
I've now had little Pepe for 4 weeks and we're still working on building trust, very slowly. Here's what I've tried so far:
A few times I've left the door to his enclosure open while I sit about 5 feet away, facing away, but occasionally turning to check to make sure he wasn't trying to escape...
Naturally, the new cham (name STILL undecided...I'm so indecisive on this it's ridiculous) and I are till setting into routines, still getting details tweaked, and improving the environment.
I have been continuously sealing my reservoir bucket for Mistking with silicon, waiting patiently for it...
