I have my rescued Camie baby and I don't see her eat too often. I'm obviously not home all day to watch her but it seems that when I'm not home that her and my boyz are always just sleeping and when I get home and turn on the lights they get active and eat and stuff.
I'm curious to know if...
Sometimes a see my boyz twist backwards. And back legs seeming to twist completely around. It kinda freaks me out. They are about 6 months old now. Are your guys very, very flexible and seem to fold in half and seem to spin their legs out of their sockets?
Under General Discussion there's a great thread called Odd Behavior which speaks all about this. Currently it's on the second page in General Discussion. Seems like it's normal and about heat regulation.
I'm also interested in this too as one of my guys also basks with his mouth open. I don't a a thermometer in the tanks as I haven't been able to find one here yet. The basking light bulb is about 8.5 inches away.
Looking forward to what others say.
I know this may be weird but do you ever Gut Loading with Calcium and Vitamin Powders? I don't really mean gut load but just add. Sometimes after I have worms in the enclosures for a few days I'll throw them back into the main tub of worms to fatten up again and pick out new ones. So I often...
They deserve to be spoiled. I think they are defo the coolest lizards I have ever had. So glad my ex bought them for me for my birthday this summer. I originally thought, 'Thanks. Something else I have to feed and pick up sh*t for.' But now I see how friggen cool they are and I guess if it...
I'm new to all of this too. Had my boyz now for 4 months. One of them liked to hiss and would put his mouth on me. They have tiny, sharp teeth but very little problem. I think since they are 'tongue' hunters they don't really snap or bite like others might. i used to have a Savannah...
Will these guys never cease to amaze me?!?!
I have a dish in the bottom of my enclosure to catch the water from my homemade dripper. My shy boy, Nacho, I noticed yesterday goes down and licks it with his tongue then bites at the water then settles his mouth in it and seems to gulp it down...
Well, Baby is still hanging in there. Haven't heard from the pet shop owner and it's been over a week since I took Baby. Ya, that's her name.
She is moving around everywhere and is eating fairly regularly now. She just went down to get a worm and ended up with 3 or 4 in her mouth. She...
Baby hasn't eaten the last two days but this morning she seems to be moving towards the two containers of worms. Fingers crossed. At least she seems to be more mobile today. I have to work all day so I won't be able to keep my eye on her.
They are veiled Chameleons. About 5 months old. Nacho seems fine with the heating bulb but LG is still sitting around with his mouth open. I moved the bulb away farther and now he has gone over to where I moved it and still sitting with his mouth open.
Also he has been drinking lots of...
A few things.
1. My shy Chameleon, Nacho, often walks swinging to and fro like you see them do in the wild when they are trying to mimic the movement of leaves blowing in the wind. He's been doing this since moving him into a new big enclosure. Seems reasonable to me. He's kinda shy. Is...
About the plexiglass and UVB. i do know that. It has some slots in the side where I place the lights. Unfortunately these plexi-glass enclosures are the only options here. My new big enclosures for the boyz have a screen top so i have the heat lights and UVB up there.
She has already...
Okay I got the baby. It's a little girl. She wasn't looking on deaths door when I got there today but I still wanted to take her. The man wasn't there, his mom was. She was under the impression that I was taking a tiny, tiny baby but i took from the tank the one i saw yesterday so she let me...
Chinese...I'm in China. Can't give him a care sheet but I think I can speak Chinese enough and he English enough and seems to care a bit. Perhaps I can give him and EDGE and help about animal love and care. Perhaps not as much care given.
The baby enclosures I have from my two boyz are...
Thank you for your encouraging words. There is a lot of ignorance here, especially in the far, far North where I am. I love my life and the changes I've seen over the last 9 years but this whole world has a lot further to come. I can't blame them for what they do as it's very traditional...
Prolapse...poor boy. Terrible condition but yes we have our big hearts to care for all.
yes I have calcium powder and multi-vitamin powder too. I, of course, also have a UVB bulb I will put on him to help absorb the vitamins.
You guys are great to suggest stuff to me. Although I've...
ha ha ha....not fruit juice..bug juice. I'm not squeamish so i'll do anything i can do to save the little soul. Who knows maybe too late but I gonna give it my best try. I'm a rescuer and I'll gonna do it!
Thanks for responding. It's about the size of a hmmmmm, about the size of my pinky finger. No way to know or ask them. They get their Chams shipped in from Beijing and I have no idea how they do it. Train? Who knows.
It's body is about 2 inches long. Not a tiny, tiny baby. Just very...
