Yeah just put the feeder cup in his cage and dont feed him any other way. Its gonna take a while for him to eat out of it but he will. I promise you he wont starve himself. I was having this problem with my jax and finally he just gave in and started eating out of the cup.
Yeah they are not huge chams like panthers or veileds. Mine is prolly 10 months old and has barely grown since 6 months. Just try not to check on him as much except to water and feed him. I promise he will be fine
He is a really good looking jax. But anyways just give him his space. I give mine at least 2 weeks before i really try to handle them or anything. As far as eating he might not want to eat in front of you thats just how some chams are. But give hime space and time so he can get used to his new...
well its up to you. if you want him to cup feed then leave them in the cup. if not let them roam around the cage. although it may take him up to a week to eat cause he is getting used to his new enviroment. and also he might not want you around when he eats. my male jackson will eat from my hand...
thats enough to just buy the chameleon. for everything i would set aside about 400 to 500. your gonna need a cage, lights, plants, supplaments, food, some sort of misting system (auto or manual), and the cham itself. this is not a cheap hobby by any means! oh and you should also set aside money...
she is beautiful. thanks everyone for the input. how long do you guys think it will take before he can actually tolerate me? as soon as i walk in the room he runs and hides. my jackson was never like that. he always let me handle him and never ran from me
so here is my new male veiled that ive had for about a week. i was wondering how old yall think he is and if yall think he is healthy. he is still very shy but is always roaming his new home
i would definitly place it on a higher surface such as a table, dresser, ect. also i would def add more foliage and more vines to give your cham more places to climb around and more places to hide. that will mae them feel wayyy more comfortable
you need a diaphragm pump to make it mist. pond pumps do not have enough psi regardless of how many gph you get. it may say it can pump up to 6 feet but like i said it still wont push enough psi. i have tried countless times to make a diy "mister" and it always ends up a diy rain system. and btw...
i actually made a diy system. the thing about it is that it isnt really a "misting" system. it was more of a spraying system. to make it mist your gonna need a diaphragm pump which is pretty expensive. i ended up just buying a mistking system which i shouldve done in the first place. honestly it...
well congrats on the cham! okay for the humidity there are many things you can do depending on where you live. you can get an automatic misting system which will keep the humidity up which i do recommend. i personally use the mistking. another thing you can do is get a simple cool mist...
