Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Female Veiled, she is about 7 or 8 months. We have had her for about 2 months
Handling - She is handled almost daily to treat a possible burn
Feeding - She is currently eating about 7 or 8 crickets daily. They are dusted with calcium without d3 daily. Crickets...
Sorry unfortunately I'm horrible with guessing ages lol but here is a link to a video that talks about how to set up a laying bin, it's really informative. You can also post her picture on the identification part of the forum and senior members would be able to tell you about how old she is...
How far away from your bulb were you measuring? If I get really close to my light it goes into the 100's, I got the low ratings from 12 inches away because I read that that is the standard for measuring. Thanks for the reply
I am using Zilla Slim Line tropical 18 inch with a 25 uvb that comes with it. I recently did reading on all of my chameleon cages with a Solarmeter and it ranged from 7-18 (from a foot way) over the 4 different cages that I have. Does anyone have any idea what the output should be? The one that...
I did a multi vitamin dust today they seem to be doing better. And I was wrong it is a 50 watt bulb not a 60. I do have it on one side and I added some sticks. They seem much happier. Thank you so much for you're help, I only wish that I had posted sooner. At least I know for the future.
I'm using a calcium without D3 supplement, it's possible that the palm frond has something on it I suppose but i washed it before I put it in and it's from my yard and we don't treat them with anything. The first one died about a week ago maybe a little longer and since then more have died. As...
Thank you so much for such a quick reply, I have them in a 40 gallon tank with a palm frond (they hatched sooner than I expected so I wasn't completely prepared) I use a 60 watt day light that I keep on one side of the tank and a slim line UVB. I mist them twice a day lightly and it dries out...
My female veiled laid 41 eggs, 34 hatched, but now the babies are dying. I've read lots of stuff on here and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is it common for the first clutch to have a relatively low survival rate? The weather got pretty cold here but I used night lights (I couldn't find...
I have a clutch of baby veileds and I haven't been able to find anything out about supplementing them. When should I start? They hatched on January 1st and they are eating fruit flies for now and I will be getting 3 day old crickets by Tuesday. Any information is helpful thank you!! :)
Does anyone have any tips on caring for a blind chameleon? I have a feeling he isn't going to be opening his eyes. I'm still hand feeding him and trying to get him outside as much as possible but it's been chilly here the last few days. He has put on some weight and seems to be doing better but...
I don't have a small cage now but I can get one, I will try to let him get some time outside. Thanks for your help. I hope he makes it. I'm growing very attached to him already.
Your Chameleon - Male Veiled, he is 11 days old (He hatched on 1/1/14), He has been in my care his entire life.
Handling - I haven't really been handling the babies until I noticed that his eyes weren't open and that he is skinnier than the rest of his clutch mates. I took him out today and...
