Hi all,
I'm moving from Illinois to the Boston area later this month, and was wondering if my moving plan for my Oustalet's is a good idea.
Since it's a long drive (18 hours) that will have to be split into two days, I was considering keeping him in a dark and hopefully comfortable...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Oustalet's, male, roughly 8 months old. He's lived here since December 2013.
Handling - Only when necessary. When moving plants out of his cage, when moving him outside for some sun, etc.
Feeding - Mostly crickets (10 or so) and superworms (5-8) daily. Very...
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a cage larger than 2'x2'x4' for my growing male Oustalet's. I live in the St. Louis area, so if you happen to be nearby, I'd be more than happy to come pick it up. I'm also moving to the Boston area in June, so I'd again be willing to pick it up if anyone in the...
Searching for a young Oustalet's took me months, they're definitely not easy to find at the moment. I'd give Pet Paradise in Virginia Beach a call, ask to talk to somebody in the reptile department. They shipped me a 3 month old Oustalet's, and I live all the way in Illinois. I'm not sure if...
Fantastic, as a first time chameleon owner (but not reptile owner, cared for plenty of reptiles over the years), I definitely wanted to go with a male for my first cham. Dealing with egg laying sounds... stressful.
So, if he is under developed at this point, what sort of problems (if any) can I...
Here you go! Sorry, couldn't get the rest of his tail, he was in a bit of an awkward position. If he is malnourished or under developed, what do you recommend?
I tend to doubt it's a female, simply because he (or she?) has quite literally no green in him/her, 100% brown, whereas all of the females I've seen display a mostly greenish hue.
Here's another pic of his arms, I think part of the problem was the angle of the first shot, his skin on his arms...
Just got done with the first misting (have a Mist King installed) and he's drinking fine too. I was getting a bit worried after FedEx delayed the shipment by 6 hours, but luckily he appears to be healthy as can be.
Now, about that name...
He's here! Still don't have a name, but he's doing great. The pics are a bit blurry, but I was obviously a bit more concerned about getting him into his cage along with some crickets. I happened to turn around just as he was snapping up his first cricket, he's a beast! :P
If you're wondering...
Alright, hopefully the last time I have to say this, but the final ship date is this Wendesday, so he'll arrive Thursday! Super excited, can't wait to post pictures.
