Yeah i don't understand the Slow worm name because they where pretty quick at evading. They have some other names which are not very PC too which I wont mention on here.
Sadly in UK the diversity of reptiles is quite low i think i have captured all the lizards (3) i have spotted 2 of the snakes...
Here in UK when I was young and full of adventure I used to find deaf adders aka slow worms a species of legless lizard (Anguis fragilis). They can drop their tails if handled incorrectly.
Shes patted down the hole and back up on top level basking and filthy from digging a few holes.
Didn't want to drink much but was washing out eyes when misted. Definitely prefer more soil than sand its like only 20% sand at most in laybin.
Not interested in food yet and going to leave it a...
Charlotte is in process of laying her 2nd clutch of infertile eggs bet you cant spot her:
Hope it's another small batch like last time exactly 12 weeks ago. Always a worrying time with female egg laying chameleonse.
Edit: she has turned around going to totally leave her to do her thing now
Inkbird do them not a recommendation mind i haven't used it personally, was researching into one before getting a mistking.
Was also looking at programming a couple of raspberry pi i have laying around to make one which is likely similar to what i think these start ups are doing.
Also...
Looks to be Salt build up to me but could be from hard water i suppose but take a while to build up. Definitely doesn't look like mycelium which is another white substance that can appear on potting soils
Yes if it is cricket bites, I'm not familiar with brand neosporin someone else can tell you what one it is with or without pain relief I'm not a vet btw.
What i can suggest though Is to try to catch out all crickets of enclosure & keep them separate. See if you can get your chameleon to cup or...
That certainly gives you confidence about the living conditions given, its like a nod to the abode😃
I would be concerned if my Charlotte was rushing up my arm checking parameters untill find something to change😅
This method of giving uvb via a mercury vapour bulb is difficult to achieve for chameleons. The bulb often heats up basking area too much in the usable uvb range. I would highly recommend you don't go mv bulb route without a solarmeter to measure uv radiation they're also not dimmer able.
Easier...
Perhaps these salivary enzymes increase the uptake of other supplements given.
It's hard to find anything negative about pollen would seem it is a miracle substance except when given to chameleons who are already supplemented. Could be a cue that the supplements given aren't quite on point, and...
The further processing of the bee pollen (pollen collected by foraging honey bees) to produce bee bread is carried out by the hive bees that add further spit, nectar & honey.
Honey is produced by the bees passing around nectar mouth to mouth untill its moisture content is reduced.
Yes it is stuck to the hair on leg hairs or scopa. They mix it with there saliva as they go along, Which makes stick to the hairs and waxy rather than fluffy & powdery like pollen is found naturally before bees add their spit
The more yellow in a veiled gives an indication of its dominance it would seem
