Okay so I put a cricket in her cage just 5 minutes ago, she ate it then started choking, she got it to hang out of her moth and I pulled it out but she didn’t get any better and stopped breathing, I’ve been trying to do cpr on her, but I think she’s gone... there’s no heart beat anymore...
Yes, the crickets are small. I’ve seen her eat bigger ones than the ones I just bought, and yes I only put it in the tip of her mouth so when she bites down she only crunches the head, then she starts eating it and it goes down fine.
I bought a temperature gun, I just haven’t removed the other gages. I want to get a pothos, but I don’t known how I’m going to put it in my cage because the cage isn’t not tall, I would rather have real plants, I’m just not sure how I’d set it up. And that is what her fecal looks like, I meant...
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions?
Zoo med open breeze screen cage.(threw the box away so not sure of size, I’ll post a picture)
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule?
100w daylight...
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. Howlong has it been in your care?
Veiled chameleon, sex is unknown,I’ve had her for a little over a month now.
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
I really never handle her, she isfriendly and has never snapped at me...
She’s a veiled chameleon. I bought a temperature gun and measured her body temp and it was 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit, but she was in her basking spot. She hasn’t been eating really anything so I was wondering if maybe the temperature in the cage isn’t right for digestion.
If my cage is too small to put a lay bin in it, could I add more eco earth dirt? And make sure it’s deep enough? Would she still lay her eggs? I’ve seen her go to the bottom and walk around before
