I’m a whole year late to reply, but..( just in case you or anyone else is still looking for a high white locale!)
Fellow lover of white chams and went through this myself. For a while there, it was extremely difficult to pin down a breeder (seems to me there wasn’t anyone regularly breeding cap...
Thank you so much for that man!! My first boy is a locale cross. PERSONALLY, I love locale crosses but I totally get that not everyone feels the same. Just based on that (AND the fact that everyone seems to want pure lineage in a female), I won‘t be breeding him. A year from now however, I’d...
Absolutely seconding this. It’s going on nearly a year ago that Beau came back positive for coccidia.It was a nightmare tossing all his thermo/hygro probes, branches and plants, nuking his entire cage with 40 volume peroxide and THEN scrubbing the entire thing down with soap, but it was so worth...
Really enjoying everyone’s responses. Just goes to show you how unique each individual chameleon is! @ChamelaChameleon your boy Carmelo is beautiful (and funny)! @suprdude I cannot imagine going to check on my cham and seeing that in person. Sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen. I’d...
So eager to breed, but difficult to keep viable. Interesting.. I don’t have any personal experience in breeding panthers (or any species of chameleon for that matter) YET - I’d like to breed my cap est - but I would have definitely assumed breeding F. verrucosis is similar. Very sad to hear...
I spoke briefly with someone breeding furcifer verrucosis after acquiring my first panther. Not sure how far they got in their breeding project, but I’ve taken an interest in this species ever since. Glad to see you intend to breed and I hope you are successful! Would really like to try my hand...
Wondering what everyone else’s chameleons are like when they settle down for the night?
Does yours regularly settle down in the same spot, or do they change it up? Beau has taken to sleeping toward the back of his cage lately. Last night I had a difficult time finding him, so I grabbed the...
How is he doing today? I wouldn’t think that eating something normally not digested by his body would do any harm, especially if it only happened once (it may have upset his tummy a little). As far as I recall, hornworm food is just a mix of wheat germ, powdered milk and yeast. You might notice...
You really are going through it. :(So glad you got some good news and all your girls were found! Veiled chams consistently surprise me by escaping and surviving in a climate most would assume aren’t suitable. I’ve heard several stories of veileds getting out and being found safe and alive well...
Cher was beyond precious. I so wish it had turned out differently for your sweet little girl, but I’m so glad she got to spend her last days with you. That last picture of her is especially sweet. ❤️
I so hope sharing what happened does help someone! Genuinely. Also, @Sonny13, I am so sorry about your sweet girl. Heartbreaking for sure. :( Sudden losses like these leave you feeling gutted and completely unsure of yourself. That said, your husbandry was spot on and I don’t think there was...
That’s hilarious! Especially considering that, in that last pic, he was still new and unsure of me. Definitely not thrilled by my presence. Maybe it was him saying “If I give you a high five or something, will you go away?“
I never noticed that until you mentioned it lol
This is a really rough thread, but I’m so glad that this topic is being discussed. I lost my beautiful blue ambanja male, Bastion in July. I could still cry just typing that out. Talking about him and looking at pictures of him have been especially difficult.
Bastion was a special case; I got...
Thank you!! He’s actually quite a sweetie. He’s only minimally rude when you first open the cage door (he’ll gape maybe once). Beyond that, he‘s a pretty easy going little guy. I’ve got really lucky with my chams as far as temperament goes 😂
Just wanted to share some pics of my cap est boy, Marzipan! Not always the easiest locale to come by. He’s flashed ghost white at me a handful of times since I’ve had him, but he’s pretty acclimated as of late and hasn’t been doing that much (he goes pretty white when the food comes out, though...
