Thats awesome that Petco did all of that. Buyer beware... if it says all sales final then stay away. Just from my personal experience. I do <3 my chameleon just wish he was in better spirits. Sadly, i dont have any control what the reptile shop did with him. That is the risk you take if you dont...
If he doesnt get better than i have to take him to qualified reptile vet. If anyone knows a good one around California that would be great or a list of reptile vets. I literally just got this chameleon about a week ago. When i was holding him he was rubbing his eye/head on my hand while i am...
Thanks for sharing the medication. The vet only gave me eye wash and some ointment but i feel like that wont be enough :( I am also going to be doing what you suggested @K_Wolf since i have a screen cage too and as soon as the misting is done, all the humidity leaks out of the cage. Please keep...
@jajeanpierre Thank you for the information. I have reptirain system at the moment and just ordered the fogger off of amazon. Since i live in dry hot climate area, i figured both are needed (Mist System and a fogger) Please correct me if i am wrong. For hand misting, just been using warm water...
Awe, Django is cute! Were you able to figure out what was wrong with him? My Cham has been doing the exact same thing. Wondered if you found the problem or what caused it? Thanks! :)
Yes, he is a male. The reptile owner said he was and i do see the spur on the back of his feet. For basking bulb i use " 50W clear bright" and for the UVB, i use Zilla 24" Strip light:120v, 15w, 60hz. Ive been trying to feed him more crickets but he doesnt take them.
I took Cammy to the vet just a couple of hours ago although i am pretty sure he is not trained in Chameleons that much since he did not try to do anything while i was there. Cammy keeps one of his eye closed... and also sometimes both of his eyes now. I'm just concerned as I'm sure any of these...
Hey everyone! Currently, I am using a Zilla 24" Strip light: 120v,15w, 60hz. Is this the correct one to use for juvenile chameleon? This is what the reptile shop gave me so being a new chameleon owner, just want to get your opinions on what you use. Also, he was climbing on the screen right...
@Chameleon+Cody Thank you for this information. Do I just leave the fruits and veggies in the Kricket Keeper holder and just let the crickets feast? Then when ready take some out to feed to chameleon?
I just got my chameleon not to long ago and want to know more on gut-loading. I am totally new to this technique and was wondering if someone can explain how to do to this. I have approx. 1 month year old chameleon and the reptile store says just feed him the baby crickets and sprinkle some of...
Thanks for the tip. Also, is it recommended to get a fogger as well? Or will the Reptirain misting be enough? I was also thinking of getting shower curtain to put inside his cage just on a couple sides to hopefully keep the moisture in. Just want to make sure hes well hydrated and has the proper...
@jajeanpierre You are right about this. I was actually looking at his fecal matter and it was a tad yellow/orange. Now his fecal matter is white. Once i got this thing up and running and just mist a good minute or so in his cage allowing him to get to the leaves and most importantly feeling...
*Update* Hes doing much better everyone. Thank you for your input. I got him the Reptirain automatic misting system (https://www.lllreptile.com/products/21035-zoo-med-reptirain-automatic-misting-machine) and that seems to help since i don't have to keep manually spraying him. He actually enjoys...
@inkdguy35 I understand they do not like to be held or have any contact and just be left alone but i have seen him do this several times and hear him when im not even around the cage. Having a visual/audio is a lot better than me trying to describe and could be so many variables.
Hey everyone! I am new here as well as being a new chameleon owner. It has been very stressful as i am trying to gather as much information as possible. I just got my young veiled chameleon this last Sunday ( 4-23-17). His name is Cammy. He is super adorable and he has his cute moments. Of...
