when you see her leaning to the side, is she basking? mine wouldnt use her tongue even a month before she laid and now shes still not shooting it more than an inch and its been a month since she laid. she would spend most of her days basking. a visit to the vet wouldnt hurt though. itll be good...
well its been a while since i posted and i was having doubts that she wasnt going to get better, but shes still alive and back to her normal self. she ended up not needing x rays. the vet felt the small lump in her belly and he thought it was too little to be a fully formed egg that would cause...
do you think thats related to calcium loss? or could it be mouth rot? shes has white spots on her tongue. i tried to get a better look at them but she doesnt stick her tongue out at me for long. i have an appt. for friday. its the earliest i can see my vet because hes at a conference. i hope she...
flap-necks are great. my first chameleon was a flap-neck and i bought her as an adult from a family owned petshop and had her for close to two years. she died of mouth rot which she had signs of when i first got her. she was roughly the same size of my current female veiled but i kept her in a...
so for a while thalamus has not been using her tongue normally. she just laid a bunch of infertile eggs and hasnt been eating ( https://www.chameleonforums.com/female-not-eating-after-laying-eggs-47841/ ) i wasnt aware that she was producing eggs about two months ago so i didnt up her calcium...
i would love to breed chameleons to be able to see so many chamelebabies but the saddest part must be putting them in a box and shipping them away. :( you and clea must be very proud! :)
i have superworms but the main reason im giving her the crix is because the calcium sticks better to them than the worms. maybe ill see if she will eat some collards for me for some variety. im going to schedule an appt for next week for xrays. do you think that might be too late to wait? im...
i have only been offering crickets since their movement really grabs her attention. ive been meaning to get silkies for a month but the site i get them from has been out of larges for a while and they keep dying on me when i buy mediums. i managed to get her to eat two crix today by putting them...
thanks guys for the advice. i might have to find some liquid calcium since she isnt getting much without eating. i felt her belly and it felt like one egg was still inside if it wasnt any other organ or food in her belly. if it is will she expel it or will it get re-absorbed into her body? or...
my veiled female just laid a clutch of infertile eggs friday night and since then has only volunteered to eat one cricket a day but now shes not even interested in them. she doesnt look too terribly starving but she is noticeably thin in her casque and tail so im a bit worried. is it normal for...
thanks miss lily! i wish good luck to amy and you when she lays her first clutch. i think its funny how both our girls laid a single egg before laying the full clutch! maybe amy will do the same? :p
shes finished laying! 52 eggs. :) now shes resting and getting a good drink. she ate a bit too. it was pretty stressful for both of us but im glad she finished under 24 hours!:D
ok so i took thalamus to the vet. he says shes looking pretty healthy and that shes full of eggs! right now i have her in a temporary cage with a big bucket full of sand/organic potting soil. i took some long vines from her pothos plant inside her normal cage and have them going into her temp...
i got an appointment to see my vet tomorrow. this morning she wasnt interested in food which is rare for her and she was climbing around her cage. there aren't any signs of her digging in her laying bin, so im wondering if she knows where it is. she looks really thin since she hasn't been eating...
is it strange for a veiled to lay just one infertile egg? she didnt dig in her laying bin and she was showing no signs that she was carrying eggs for the past two weeks. she hasnt been eating as much as i usually feed her and her urates are getting yellow which is crazy since i have my mist king...
sweet, thanks guys. ive actually made a paste of greens in the past that i froze into cubes but it tends to get messy and mold quickly. i guess theres no easy way around it though!
laurie, ill have to try out that recipe. thanks for the tip! :)
can collard greens be frozen? if so how long do they last? i always buy too much than needed and end up wasting most of the bunch. ill be feeding the collards to crickets and superworms, and only the fresh collards to my chameleon.
