Hey again guys, I'm back again.
Sadly my last flapneck chameleon died from kidney failure :( due to the vets prescription of baytril was too strong, and he lost his little fight for life 2 months ago this sunday.
I thought it was time to move on and adopted a new little Yemen chameleon on...

She isn't wild caught thank goodness she was bred by one of the petshop's owners.
Dont have any soil her house i did have vermiculite but...
Yeah already know that which is pretty tricky sometimes!
I havent mated her so do i just throw them out?
Makes me feel like i'm being wasteful haha, she took all that time and effort to make them and i just throw them out lol poor girl
Last time she pooped & urate was last week? maybe last monday/sunday night
cant remember cage temps off hand, in oC what should they be reaching ideally?
i throw around 5-7 dusted crickets every other day in her house - which i am going to stop doing and offer her one at a time in a tub or...
Oh no you must be joking lol! so i have a he she chameleon haha! i have an egg laying box in her enclosure so i guess i'll just have to wait and see if she lays eggs or not.
as for the light - i'll sell of it give it to a friend and buy a new one for her new house :)
Thank you for the...
Oh wow thats soon.
Good gob she has a build in egg laying box in her new house.
what do i do with the eggs? will she be protective over them or does she just leave them?
Also do i feed her more as she's "brewing" her eggs haha and after aswell?
Thanks for the reply :)
My flapneck cham doesnt seem to poop much?
is there anything i can do to get her going a little bit?
i've heard warm misting and warm baths/showers helps
is there anything else i can do?
she drinks alot - from the sprayer atleast twice a day for a couple of mins
Thanks :)
Basically the title says it all haha
When do flapneck chameleon's start to produce eggs?
i have a 5-6 month old female flapneck chameleon
she is rougly around 4" long (havent measured) not inlcuding her tail
Thanks :)
I have a work document with pictures but its too big to upload on here?
i could email it to you if you send me your email in a private message or something?
I am giving a special calcium dusting powder on his crickets once a week.
which i was told was really good for bones.
I unfortunately do not have any other suppliments what ones do you suggest?
his MBD has not changed in months and he is not in any pain.
I gutload my crickets and insects...
Thanks for the replies :) feels good to talk to people in the know.
she has a repti sun 10.0 so definately wayy to strong!
Would it be suitable for her bigger house or should I get the repti sun 5.0?
The bulb i have is a compact bulb I think? its not a tube one.
where can I buy the light...
Well what an eventful three weeks! my "little boy" is a little girl!
but is still going by the name Merlin :) - Not that I mind its just hard to remember he's now a she haha.
Merlin has MBD which he had a slight case of when I bought her but has developed slightly but is still under control...
