Search results for query: reasons for screen climbing

thank you so much! I was thinking to get a smaller enclosure first and upgrade. would a cham kit be ok if i didn’t really use most of the things it came with, and just bought it for the terrarium as the size of it is good for the smaller chameleon?

A g pig is different, as it squeaks and runs around. My cat, who is a Bengal and will leap straight up four feet to snag a fly/stalk a spider for hours/go mental when our resident skunk goes by the door, completely ignores the chams. (that said...I only feed flies when cat is asleep in the other...

Yeah I have some red runners in an escape-proof (literally water-tight with a gasket with window screen over air holes too small for them to escape from to begin with) enclosure. I will occasionally feed them off. I had a larger colony last year - I culled it because some roaches started showing...

unless he can climb glass we won't get to the top. heres his cage so far (not done)

I see now what you mean with the 9 inches. I cannot mount anything from my sealing though... Do you know of any table or off-the cage mounts that would work with 24 inch fixtures? Switching to household incandescent bulbs will be no problem. Also, should I be concerned if my cham is rubbing her...

Your Chameleon - Veiled, Male, 8-9 months. Since Jan. 1st Handling - I don't very often if at all. He has quite the additude and doesn't like to be bothered. I mainly enjoy sitting on my couch and watching him for sometimes hours. I find him fascinating. Feeding - Dubias, crickets, snacks...

i think its because of the little fibres but i'm not a hammock expert

Thank you so much! I'm so glad I don;t have any major errors, I spend so much time researching and reading (full nights) to make sure I provide a good environment. Didn't know about Rephasy Calcium plus LoD when I bought all the supplements, which was way, way b4 I got the cham. I followed the...

OK, but don't "they" say that about nearly everything? :eek: Claws/nails could get caught in hammocks, branches, screen mesh, fake vines, bark, bamboo (or other) screens, fixtures, other chameleons' mouths, and just about anything else they climb on... It doesn't seem to dissuade folks from...

No offense, but I think you may have been scammed again. Depending on your ambient climate (and where you live) a hybrid enclosure may have been a better option for maintaining humidity. The LEDs are bells & whistles for keepers—they do nothing for chameleons, and aside from UVB, white is the...

Wasn't aware of Alabama, but I know they're strict with roaches in FL. Lobsters are interesting. I've recently started using them more to feed. Chams seem to enjoy them a lot, like red runners they're pretty soft and active, makes them enticing for whatever reason. They are very prolific, good...

Sorry I don't always remember everyone I help since I am active in quite a few threads at once. So I would suggest you get the 24 inch fixtures. Reason being a 14 inch fixture only has a 12 inch bulb. So you have just reduced their basking area for uvb to one place and then digging further...

So based on the photos, upgrades are in order, and I'm glad to hear you've gotten a head start on it! Most recommend a larger cage size for this species than you currently have, and may be part of the reason he is screen climbing. Most people recommend the linear T5 HO 5.0 for UVB. The compact...

Okay thank your for always being so helpful and informative! I would also probably start in a smaller enclosure for the reasons you said. I would never leave unattended feeders in the cage anyway, the risk of them being bitten always frightens me. I’ll start doing some more research before...

If you go to Josh's frogs web site, they do not ship to Alabama.

I have a 5 month old veiled female and she keeps trying to escape. I have her in a cage I built where the highest she can get is about 6’6” and the cage is filled in with 5 plants and plenty of sticks. I’m trying to work on getting her more comfortable with handling and feeding from hand so I...

Arcadia bulbs are the same, the world over. What might be different is the commonly used screening material, but I’m a bit doubtful about that too. Do you have a solar meter? In any case, so much depends on your setup. If you have foliage that casts dappled shade over part of your main...

I appreciate your feedback! That's great that cats benefit your immune and stress systems! Thank you for your feedback! ❤️ It helps! Thank you! 👍🏻 That's great! I appreciate it! 😃👍🏻 I am planning on getting a cat around a year old. Thank you for your input! Wow! Awesome input! I am wanting...

Hello guys! Antecedent: I moved my chameleon to his final enclosure. He is 5 months old now. In his smaller enclosure ( i add image both of the enclosures) he ate everyday from my hand without thinking. I fed him so easily. And then the move happened about 3 weeks now. You guys know when a...
