    Flapneck Eating leaves?

    Do flapnecks eat greens? Or are they strictly insectivores? There are what looks to be bite marks out of some of the leaves of my plants. I was under the impression that they didn't eat greenery?

    How to get him to cup feed?

    Ivan is a 5 inch flapneck chameleon. He will only eat crickets so far, I've had him for I dunno, a month maybe. Anyway, he will only free feed and its kind of annoying because it makes it difficult to know how much he is eating. He doesn't like to eat in front of me, so I put a few crickets...

    Chameleons and natives

    Just writing about things here, not trying them lol. I would never do anything to hurt Ivan (my flap neck)! My thesis is that indigenous cultures normally either have taboos surrounding certain reptiles, or have customs surrounding them (such as in brazil using the golden tegu for medicinal...

    Drinking

    I put him in the shower for about half an hour. He didn't really like it, but definitely seemed better afterwards. I also got a misting system from the pet store. A mist king is on the to buy list, but I was worried and wanted one today so just got one from the pet store. I also got a...

    Just got my first

    I haven't seen him poop. As of today he hasn't eaten in a few days. I just got a misting system from the petstore (I know not the best brand but its what I could get asap) he already seems a bit happier. I also put him in the shower on his plant for half an hour (in the mist, not the direct...

    Drinking

    Thanks for your quick reply, I will try not to freak out lol. He doesn't LOOK dehydrated to me, his eyes look good not sunken or anything so hopefully he is drinking when I am not around.
