I got them from Northampton reptile centre, they call them "edible snails", they are human grade edible. I hope this helps

He is either stressed/unhappy or cold, have a read of the caresheets here and ensure his temps are as required.

Brilliant that's great thanks! I put one in his tub this morning along with a bunch of locusts, I didn't realise that one of the small locusts were dead and caught the snail eating it? Do they eat bugs that are dead? Is this OK for Pickle to eat the snail now that the snail has eaten a dead...

He was about 3 weeks old there and had no hassle with him at all, hes always loved being handled even when he was that young and always had a very big appetite! I gave him a day or two to settle in when I first got him but since then I pretty much handled him a small amount of time, every day...

Hey guys! Been a while since I've been in here. Pickle is doing soo great! He's huge now! He has just had his first snail! I am new to snails and want to know the best way to store them and what people are gutloading them with please Many Thanks in advance

Thank you! It looks to me as if he is starting to get a tad of light blue stripes on his tail? He's such a handsome boy already!

Pickle is getting big so quickly now

Also a good thing to note, I usually see my Cham do this when he's reaching to get some free ranged food. So either way, hes stretching to get something or somewhere

With regards to your comment on handling, this is a statement said to new owners to warn them off handling just incase the Chameleon is acutually getting stressed. This is actually a case by case judgement. If the Chameleon is fine with being handled and is showing no signs of stress, daily...

I think shes a bit young for a vet trip bless her, at that age you want to avoid stress as much as possible. Shes a bit dark, probably due to not feeling secure and safe enough, defintatley get some more cover in there for her by adding more plants, preferably live plants like pothos or...

Luckily she has a dedicated owner to nurse her back to health! With the treatment advised to you, I'm sure, over time she will be just fine. Good luck to you and your cham

My Cham recognises me as his chef, he is very comfortable with me and handling but gets very weary with people he hasnt seen before, he knows where I put his food tub in the enclosure and will wait by the branch anxh it is usually placed whw he wants food, so I would say they have fairly good memory

Beautiful boy!

Im sure the vet will understand haha, maybe try bringing a treat for Paul to try had feed before handling, he may not take it but just knowing the hand has held a treat for him should make him feel a little less threatened

Oh brilliant thats good! Ive not heard of them, if he's specifically has experience with chameleons you should be good, let us know how is goes
