if that is 5 months then I am seriously doubting my cham could be as young as 7 months... I adopted her from a friend who rescues all sorts of reptiles so I know nothing about her...
suffice to say, your cham is so small and adorable! Love it! Mine five times bigger and I cannot touch her at...
I can't tell you these things because she does not allow handling. I can guess she is about 5-6 inches long in body and her tail might be 4-5 inches, it's hard to say.
The crickets I buy are called 'large' but they are really only 'medium'. when I first started feeding my beardies large...
I was feeding her 10-12 crickets a day with supplements, and the crickets were all fed with various vegetables I have around for the beardies, as well as orange cube, and high protein cricket diet. Also I bought her wax worms a couple times and would give her 4 or 5 most days til they were gone...
Thank you Trace. I have been spoiling her with plenty of food. I will tune down the feedings, even though she's been really super pissed at me this week and hardly eats now anyway. I was kinda hoping that was laying attitude so I wouldn't feel so guilty.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I will be looking for a planter or something over the next few days.
Does it have to be opaque? What's the purpose for that? Where do you find play sand these days? If I use potting soil is the vermiculite safe? Or is pure vermiculite safe? Are vermiculite and...
Even now, 10 or so minutes later, she's un-plumped and is really slim again. maybe she was puffed out. Arg, she's drivin me crazy, hahaha.
What do you say now?
I took this picture seconds ago, to show you her body. She seems pretty relaxed and non patterned right now, but can anyone tell me if this is how a normal chameleon is sized? I am learning as I go.
No she hasn't been with a male, that I know of. I adopted her from a friend who has a reptile rescue, and he had her and her brother. But as far as I know they always had separate cages. I've only had her about a month.
I haven't seen any lumps yet, no, but she does have a beer belly when she's lounging around. I look at the spot behind/above her back legs every day though.
Yikes! I guess I'm going to be buying some playsand ASAP.
I have a bag of it somewhere, but it's not enough to fill a 12 inch bucket...
Hey all! I've been working closely with my chameleon to get to know her and how to keep her happy. And over the past week or less, she has been almost constantly wearing a pattern.
I made her really angry trying to capture the pictures, and she has been showing it by being difficult around...
Well, as of today I rustled up everything I have in the house and gave them a selection. They have their orange cube, their gel (because I have always given them both) some bok choy, and some cricket mix that I assume is mostly bran. I don't know what else. I was going to give them matchstick...
that ingredient list is really daunting. I don't know where to start. my boyfriend brought home this chameleon but everytime I tell him something new about it, he thinks I'm taking the internet too seriously. where do I start with that :/
I asked at the local non-chain pet store, and they are actually ordering some calcium without D3 soon, so I'll be checking in there every time I buy crickets, hopeful I can catch it :) For the time being I am just dusting every few days with my usual calcium.
Hi guys. I want to properly take care of my chameleon, and know from my experience with my bearded dragons, that my calcium with d3 won't do every day (or will it?). I have looked all over town even prior to owning a chameleon, and it is just not stocked.
I spoke to an older gentleman who...
