Second time unlucky, I have tried all the suggestions and no luck. Soaked with warm water and also used tissue oil to try soften the old skin.
I will try again tomorrow, but i'm not too sure what i'll do if i can't get it off
I have soaked his tail for between 10 and 15 minutes and nothing. I am also having a hard time trying to get him to stay still while trying to remove the skin. tried using a qtip and nothing.
Seems like he still has feeling on the tip.
Need more help. Please.
My male veiled has a piece of shedded skin still on his tail tip. The problem is that it looks like a rubber band is on his tail tip. Do i need to get the skin piece cut or should i leave it ? :confused:
Because egg laying is so taxing on a chameleons body, i would like to limit this. My female veiled is about 5 months old and is eating large amounts of insects (crickets, superworms, silkworms). At what age do i start limiting the amount the number a insects i feed her ?
The method i use is to put the container in the freezer for a minute or two. They slow down or freeze, then you do what you have to do and they thaw out in a few minutes.
This is my second attempt to culture fruit flies, and in both cultures i have had mite problems. I am not sure where they are coming from as my superworms and cricket don't have any.
Any ideas and help is needed
Well, I live in South Africa and if i needed silkworm chow it would have to be imported. Does anyone know if i can get it locally from South Africa?
I read the article and it helped lots, for the moment i have ordered some chow from Costal Silkworms.
This was my first try at raising silkworms from eggs. Of the 500 eggs i removed from the refrigerator only about 200 hatched and of the 200 that hatched only 10 now survive. I don't have access to silkworm artificial food so i have to use leaves.
Any ideas on how to get a better rate to...
My baby veiled also stopped eating when i placed her in a new cage. What seemed to do the trick was some sunlight and fruit flies. Even now that she is a bit big for fruit flies she still goes crazy when i let a few loose in her cage.
She is a veiled, and is mostly indoors. She only does it when she is basking so i'm sure it is only too hot for her. I just want to make sure if the ambient temp is high, it is fine to keep the basking lamp off and just have the lights on.
