Wow that’s odd! Although, giving a treat item as a staple is usually not recommended. But I understand that the availability of bugs is not optimal at the moment. Have u tried to squash it to see if it could be a fake plant? Hopefully it’s just due to the waxworms but I would monitor her poops...
It would be hard to tell for sure from a picture, but fecals are usually less than $100 and that will give you a sure answer. Call ahead for an experienced chameleon vet. Use a feces that is less than 24hrs from being excreted (the sooner the better) and refrigerate if it’s not brought directly...
I hope someone with more experience will chime in soon but it looks like an odd position for her to be in for that long. Does she change position during feeding? Or maybe bait her to a different branch to eat? My chameleon goes into that pose to defecate, could she be impacted? Has she pooped...
On this topic, I wonder if anyone used a poppy flower? I don’t know if it would have similar issues for reptiles as the marijuana plant. Maybe not since the active chemicals for poppy are different and located in the seeds, but I would think the best way to know for sure is if there are wild...
I’d only consider growing in my enclosure if it were best for the plant and if my mother needed it I would try to grow for her since I’m her caregiver and the dispensary prices are extremely high here. I don’t think I’d be successful with the high demands of cannabis and with the comments here I...
Oh and btw, you may want to keep that calcium with d for a “rainy day” if you ever have a problem getting your UVB bulb or fixture replaced and outdoor sunning isn’t an option in your climate. But for the most part you won’t need to use a calcium with d when you have a multivitamin with d, as...
Very talented! It’s a beautiful drawing! And thanks for the warning, I’ve never grown such a plant and knowing this makes me a bit hesitant. And I’m sure any type of smoke near a chameleon is a big NO. ☺️
Hello there! You’ve gotten some really great info from the forum members already. I’ll just add that CaskAbove.com has a plant safe list with plant care and positioning, supplement schedule info, enclosure setup and checklists that may help you a lot. Hope this helps and Welcome to the fam! ☺️
I have wondered the same thing myself. I have been looking into plant toxicity in chameleons but have not seen any mention of such plants being used or being harmful to chams. I can’t imagine it being great for the health of the plant tho.. 🤷🏻♀️
Is she crawling on the screen? After the first few days adjusting to her new renovation she should be back to her normal self, if still screen climbing there may be something off in her enclosure. Theres info on screen climbing in the chameleon health section of CaskAbove.com and I’ll add a pic...
I’d love to see a pic or your little one and the enclosure too! You’ll probably want to post a pic that includes the lighting for correct distance. Your form looks pretty good, although 90 seems a bit warm for his age but someone with more experience with your type of chameleon will chime in...
