I have a 16"x11"x11" Rubbermaid-type tub that I filled with moistened play sand (I did a test tunnel to be sure I had the correct dampness). Cami's enclosure is screen 24"x24"x48", so her laying bin takes up a good portion of the bottom of her cage (about 1/3 of the space at the bottom). I had 4...
I have the AquaZamp Rain Dome. My cham was not a fan of hand sprayed mistings at all, but since getting the AquaZamp, she will make her way to the branch smack dab in the center of the mist/drops when it cycles on. Yesterday I watched her drink for one of the entire 5 minute cycles. She has even...
Setting up her laying bin today. We just got everything for it last night. JannB replied to this previous post of mine https://www.chameleonforums.com/photos-our-beautiful-girl-126480/ which includes pictures of Cami, saying she looks like she's ready to lay eggs & gave me very helpful links...
Can you tell based on color changes as chams age how old they are? There have been very distinct color pattern changes as my approx 8 mo old female veiled, Cami, has gotten older (I think she may be older, but am uncertain).
Do her eating patterns/amounts have anything to do with her age...
Jann your chameleon family is gorgeous! Tate does look so sweet, Cooper's blue is so beautiful & Sage definitely looks like a king! All of your pictures are outstanding!
Yes, take a stool sample, fresh if possible. If not, refrigerate the most recent sample.
Cami's visit was a great experience for us. I felt like our vet was very thorough. He wanted to know all the specifics about her enclosure: size, glass/screen, ventilation, branches/vines/plants...
Very handsome guy! Great colors! Stunning pictures! I know you are proud. Amazing to me how these little creatures can totally make our day. They're the best!
Thank you Jann for the links! Great, detailed information! I will definitely set up a laying bin for her. I thought (probably lack of knowledge) that if she were looking to lay eggs, there would be more "signs" like wandering/pacing the bottom of her enclosure.
We got her 12/14/13 (we were given IMO a large age range 3-6 mos old). On 1/11/14, we took her to a recommended vet (not because anything was wrong) just to have her checked out & make sure we were providing her with the best possible care. The vet estimated her age to be 6 mos at that time...
