And the fact that his tongue doesn’t work means he has to actually run for things before they get away. It’s sooooo entertaining to watch him hunt. For anyone out there who passed up a cham with tongue shooting issues, watch Jack. You may think again.
It would be so cool to set that right over top of an existing bush in the yard and use landscaping staples to anchor it down to the ground. Then you know they’re having a blast in a big bush with natural sunlight and can’t run off anywhere
You said, “humidity levels are good, in the low 60s during the day and 90+ at night”
No, that daytime level humidity is not good and this is why I don’t like hybrid enclosures with permanent solid sides. They hold in moisture and you can’t remove the panel to make it a screen. If you have a...
Also. I don’t know where you are but horn worms and silk worms solve all my hydration problems. They’re mostly water so it’s like feeding your cham a bag of water. I give my chams either a bunch of silk worms or one horn worm a week so I always know they’re hydrated. They drink too and...
I think a lot of keepers wayyy over do it with bee pollen. I stopped using it.
Your branches are too thick. Get some branches that are the width of your index finger and pinky. Otherwise his hands and feet are splaying out completely and he’s struggling to grip with his nails. You need...
How dare you assume I would send my baby without his luggage. lol he’s like a rich aristocrat on the Titanic with a large luggage trunk carried by porters in white gloves.
@Beman I shipped out all of Jack’s lights and they’re arriving today at Yungzerk’s house. Two Jungle Dawn LEDs and an Arcadia 6% UVB. They shipped out after Jack.
Jack is so entertaining because he eats frantically like a juvenile and with reckless abandon. He took down two mature female grasshoppers with zero problem. Fully grown hornworm? GONE. Fifteen silkworms at once? BURP. 15 large crickets? PLEASE. He’s in excellent shape with textbook...
if you want a chameleon, get a chameleon but only if you follow the advice on these forums. Get the right enclosure, lights, plants, and learn to keep bugs and you will do fine. Make no mistake…Chameleon enclosures and equipment are a $1K initial investment. Then there’s the cost of the...
And I’m just putting this out there for any forum members or lurkers, if you have a chameleon, even if it’s in poor health that needs fostering, consider hitting me up. I have the equipment and space to care for them and find them a good home. No questions asked, no $ needed.
I really and truly only love Tony my veiled and Herbert my ambilobe. But seeing this guy sickly with a lazy eye and dysfunctional tongue, about to be homeless just killed me. This is when I learned about fostering vs adopting. I absolutely CAN take on a challenge like this, help an animal...
The question may arise…why not keep Jack? He is my wild child and he’s freakin adorable. BUT…my Camiezone panther baby Herbie is turning into a big dinosaur and needs a double enclosure. And I just don’t have room for one more enclosure.
