My exotic animal vet warned me that chameleons are difficult and you may do everything right and they still may die. While upsetting, it seems worth the risk to enjoy your girl as long as you can. So sorry for your loss.
Thats what i am trying with Etosha. She is 86g and i am feeding her 1 silkworm 1 hornworm and 5 med crickets every other day. Is that too much she is quite full of distain on non food days. She had one clutch of 45 in oct. If this regimen is holding her will she just not ever even get...
