Currently I have a male veiled and a jackson and am thinking of giving up the male veiled for adoption because it eats too much and poops a lot more than the jackson. I don't really have the energy to feed both anymore.
The veiled is about 8 months old and healthy. I bought him from petsmart...
Mine too. He never eats when he's out. I figured it was because he was stressed when I was around while he was out. He probably felt more relaxed when he was in his cage and would eat from the cup in my hand. So far, I haven't seen any effect of free ranging on his aggressiveness. But it has...
After reading about the positive impact free ranging can have on chameleon, I finally decided to start one. But I really don't want to spill water all over my place and reinstall lights and mistking, I set up a semi free range connected to the cage.
My chameleon stepped out of his cage only...
I have been thinking about setting up a free range for my chameleons. But I really don't want them to run all over my room. I am thinking about building something like dog(baby) fence using PVC boards surrounding the free range area. I think PVC boards should be smooth enough for chameleons not...
I remember when I first got my 3-month-old male veiled from petsmart, there was one day in the evening around 7 when his eyes were slightly closed. Nothing happened later on as he is still healthy now that it has been 3 months. So I guess your cham could be just tired. But try to keep cautious.:D
Thank you for your replies. I probably will have to cut some leaves to clear out the view for him. I just got this guy today. Jacksons are just so cute (mostly because he doesn't hiss when I go near him, unlike my veiled:D)
Hi guys, I just got a jacksons chameleon from flcham. He's 9-12 months old. I put him into a 18 by 18 by 36 enclosure full of foliage.
Here's the problem, he is still a little frightened probably due to the new relocation and doesn't know how to eat from a fixed cup (I put a cup with crickets...
I feel ya. This is also my first time ordering online. It will definitely arrive tomorrow before you even realize. I just received my supplies from Amazon today and bought some stuff from Homedepot and finished building the cage today!:cool:
I will also get my jacksons tomorrow from flcham. Here in albany NY is 28-35, snow in the afternoon.
BTW, did you get any tracking number or confirmation email from flcham after placing the order?
I called Mike and he said he would send out the package 6-7 pm today and would send me a...
Good to know! definitely keep us updated. I'm gonna rush out to buy a fake tree tomorrow right away to start this semi-free range too. Sounds like fun!:D
I think this is a very good idea! I have thought about getting one of these set up too. Have you seen your cham going back to the cage for water/food/UV and warmth? That is one thing that holds me back from setting up this type of free range.
Thank you for your response. Now at least I have something to look forward to haha. I am not even thinking of handling him right now because it is simply impossible to get my hands near him:eek:
