(S)he looks better today, Nice white urates, although the worms don't look fully digested.. I didn't clean it up yet just spotted them from the cage. I'm just glad they passed after reading those articles, I was afraid feeding her dehydrated would cause a big problem. I haven't fed anything...

Thanks for the links- they were very helpful. She had access to the plant's soil, and now I have repotted them and replaced the top few inches with sand.

Okay, where he is hanging out is about 87 degrees, but his highest basking spot is 95 degrees. I soaked him in pedialyte for a couple minutes today and fed another wax worm. He is actually looking better, I don't think he was drinking before! so he is probably filling out a little from the...

I thought it was a C. chameleon, but now i'm not sure it isn't C. africanus. If so, it is a female- no spurs. Supplements are Ca 3x week, Ca+D3 2x week, and vits- 1x week, one day off. I'll get the temp tomorrow when the lights are back on..

Ha, sorry! I'm sure there will be re-runs. It was all in Madagascar. I don't remember all the species but he said they showed the largest cham in the world and the smallest, and there was a pair of panthers at the end. Pretty neat.

It is 6:24 and Steve Irwin is checking out lots of chams :)

My cham hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks. I offered roaches and crickets (he used to love crickets!) he has never tried to eat worm-like feeders. So, he hasn't eaten in a while, he will sometimes come over to the feeder cup and watch them, but doesn't try to catch them. He is getting skinny, I can...

I think crickets are able to chew through fiberglass screen. So metal screen would be better if you have free range feeders.

Special plant lights are not necessary. Regular full spectrum "daylight" bulbs will work for plants. If the plants in the enclosure are high light plants, or you have a large enclosure the addition of another bulb may help. Daylight bulbs (tubes anyway) are safe for chameleons. I have a 2...

I'm breeding dubia, lobster roaches, and turkistan roaches.

I have read that chams WILL eat them. Now, how often they should, i dont know. here is the nutritional info I found on a fish forum... Crude Protein-62.2% Crude Fat-17.7% Calcium-1.72 the thing with earthworms is, they are filled with dirt so you would probably want to squeeze them...

I use two plastic cups, a big one inside a smaller one. they both have pin holes poked in them, but because the space between the cups creates a vacuum it drips out slowly and all the water still comes out. It doesn't hold as much as a bigger container or course, so I just fill it up 2 or 3...

I found them to be easy to gut load as well. I kept them in wheat germ as bedding and they totally devoured all the apples and carrots I put in there... Too bad my cham won't eat them!

Hmmm, It might look nice on a stand beside, or on top of the cage, heh.

My first ( and only) cham is a C. chameleon, lately I'm starting to think (s)he is a C. africanus if so, its a female :)
