Hey everybody!
George has had what seems to be a patch of skin that hasn't shed for about two months. It doesn't seem to be constricting or painful for him, but it definitely isn't budging and is quite noticeable.
Any help greatly appreciated, a vet trip can happen pretty much any time...
Apologies for the double post but I guess nobody has any tips! I've decided to stick with the one unless I can find one within the next week. He's settling in nicely and I've gotten him/her to eat some fruit and silkies.
If anybody has any good experiences with these animals, please share...
Hey everybody! Has been a while since I've been here. Hope everyone is well. George has essentially grown into a perfect Chameleon, and I've decided to... "Expand" my hobby and get a Giant Day Gecko. I actually want to go into breeding them, however.
Today, I bought a young'n from a good pet...
Gotta admit I've seen some upsetting stuff on this forum. But that's part of the reason this forum exists, correct? We need to help educate people. Seeing posts from people who have bought a Chameleon impulsively, or clueless parents buying their kids Chameleons and so on is quite upsetting but...
Sorry for the bump, but he just shed yesterday and I thought I'd bring up that he seems to be striding towards going much more orange. Almost half of his body is orange now.
Full of surprises this one.
Hey guys.
I'll throw this one in too, it was from just over a month ago but hes still turns this sort of colour when flared, like I said, pretty much yellow/orange and the blue isn't quite blue.
It is really strange. I have this picture of him from 3-4 months ago.
Much different, he still has some blue but it is turning a much darker/green colour. I've heard they don't reach full colour until quite late, so he probably has some more surprises for me, but the yellow/green he turns...
Hey everybody! Thought I'd drop by and give you all an update on George.
He's now, presumably, 9-10 months old and precisely 15" from nose to tail tip. He was probably around 5-6" when I bought him. His growth has decelerated rapidly and he only sheds once a month now. He weighs enough for it...
I'm quite lucky that a lot of my friends seem to like reptiles, most really hate bugs though so they get a bit creeped out when I'm handling cockroaches/locusts like they're a separate pet (I love all animals).
But yeah I could totally see people being creeped out by reptiles... But...
Chameleon pricing is a bit odd. Down here in this part of England, only one store I know stocks Panthers and they get them from a reputable breeder. The males cost something like £125 and the females £90-100. These are young ones too, adults go for much more. Veileds are about £60.
It must be...
Something I forgot to mention was the misting system. This arrived about 3 weeks ago and we finally got it set up.
It isn't entirely done yet. I need a water heater for it really, as I don't want to freeze the poor guy. He has plenty of space to escape the rain as well. We set it up so 4...
He's a little spoiled man. Hopefully he'll remain friendly for his whole life, I feel that he misses the outdoor adventures we used to go on during the summertime. I know I am :P Can't wait for the temperature to rise again, here's hoping the UK has a good summer in 2012.
Hey guys, haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd share some more George news :)
George is now fairly large. Heavy enough that his grasp is quite painful on my skin. He's still the friendliest chameleon in the world and while there have been some days of worry (Knowing me, just a bit of...
Actually it's quite simple to put custom ringtones on the iPhone without buying them. You simply convert 30 seconds of any song you want into a ringtone, sync and done.
I thought George was constipated (He hadn't pooped for 5 days) and went to check on him in the morning... Biggest poop I'd ever seen. There were no survivors.
No cause for concern currently I'd say. Hopefully a shower will work :)
