there isnt a care sheet available on this forum for that type of chameleon but i did find this old post that has some info https://www.chameleonforums.com/sailfin-chameleon-97885/
if you mean the one that's leaves look like a fern and the flowers are little pink puff balls then yes it's safe. JUST the branches, though. I would either bake them or quarantine (for like a week) and scrub them down before putting them in. If it has bark, leave the bark on. I was told just to...
thanks! good to know how far down i should go. Gonna go tomorrow and start the "excavation" lol.
a friend and employee who is in the reptile department said if my breeding is a success, he will let the owner know and she may want to buy from me :)
eggs aren't toxic. there is a huge thread on breeding them in this category and they were successful. as long as i don't feed the hatchlings tomato/tomato plant, i'm good
i am planning to breed them lol otherwise i wouldn't be trying to dig them up while they are pupating. this will be my first attempt so i need to know how far down they dig themselves in
So in the state of NC we naturally get hornworms on tomato crops. Our landlord planted a row of tomato plants in the nearby field. I decided that i would go and look for some worms, eggs, whatever i could find. But it seems i am too late, the plants are all laying on the ground now, not a worm...
I repotted every single one of my chams live plants. I put a layer of eggrock gravel on the bottom, filled with organic pesticide/fertilizer free soil, and have larger eggrocks covering the top. I hand mist twice a day, i do not water the plants directly. I have a 6500k grow bulb mounted to the...
i got all of my plants at lowes. i originally had a ficus and two umbrellas. now just pothos. the ficus dropped all of its leaves, they do not tolerate the chameleon climbing in them very well. i just removed the two umbrellas yesterday as they have root rot.. they could not handle me misting...
im no expert but looks to me like shes just puffed up, and showing receptive colors. every gravid female i have seen is bland in color like browns and greys
I am curious to know how often other's chams are shedding. If you could leave a comment stating the type/age and how often they are shedding that would be awesome.
I have a veiled/12 months old and sheds about every 20 days. Leaving him in a constant state of shed.
good idea. they only just started selling them in my LPS. i havent really read any positive experiences with it just complaints about it needing frequent cleaning. i stick to the dripper and heavily misting 2x's per day. Some people prefer automatic misters but i didn't bother buying any of...
either that or whyd you stop feeding me. fatty still eats 5 crickets, 2 superworms, and a bowl of veggies daily at a year old. he eats better than anyone in the house.
i would say if it gets like 78 degrees and up in your house that could be why she doesn't want the lights. generally their basking area should be 85-95 but my veiled doesn't like it that hot. i shut his head lamp off now if its 78 or up in the house. Leaving the UVB on because it doesn't emit...
omg.. when a cricket gets on my cham it is the funniest thing ever. i don't help, i just laugh until he manages to catch it. i'm horrible lol. its hard to believe some chams beg to be let out but they really do. mine doesnt paw at his cage door but he nudges it with his head to see if it will...
well i mean, it was funny. i was laughing in pain. beardies are drawn to shiny things. being bitten by the cham was more of a shock. he also frequently targets my nailpolish when i try to hand feed him. he'll shoot at my nails so i have to sometimes point the food out to him by making it move...
that is scary... his casque is very sunken in. i wouldn't call that minor. by the time MBD is noticeable it means its very far along.. id be very worried. id be stuffing him with hornworms dusted with calcium every other day. i recommend reading the sticky on MBD and possibly taking him to a...
supplementing with powder. dusting his live feeders with vitamins. feeding his crickets and feeders lots of healthy veggies to gut load them so they are chok full of vitamins when the cham eats them and with a veiled they can eat fruits and veggies i suggest exposing him to veggies asap. ditch...
ooo they definitely have teeth. let one chomp on you and you will never forget it.. mine bit me by accident (hand feeding, got my finger and the cricket) and it hurt. they have a very strong bite. few days prior i was bitten by a bearded dragon that is the same age (11months at the time) and...
