hey there everyone! i was wondering if there was any such thing as like a cricket dispenser that can automatically put crickets into your chameleon's cage without having to touch the crickets? reason being is in case i go on vacation and my grandmother has to feed my cham,(she HATES bugs) and if...

thank you!

yeah

your welcome! good luck and keep us updated

yep. she also had slight mbd from the pet store we bought her from (this pet store luckily had an experienced cham keeper as he manager and they had a mistking calcium without d3 uvb and basking bulb etc and that's the only reason we even considered buying from a pet store) but the mbd was from...

this was my girl when she was gravid

no it's alright, i understand :)

and no problem!

the larger one with the brown/orange coloring

those are gravid colors, which means she has eggs and needs the bin ASAP so she can lay

don't worry it's not your fault, pet stores give awful information. it's just frustrating to some members that people go into cham keeping without research (mostly from big box pet stores) and they don't know how else to get the point across.

i don't purchase chams from there no matter how sick they look, that just gives them the opportunity to torture more chams

unfortunately a lot of cases here on CF are sick chams due to impulse buying. at least the OP has lights and a lot of foliage, of course there are mistakes, but they did the right thing coming to this forum to learn.

it's a 12 inch deep sand/soil mixture that you can put in a container or trash can (clean of course) with a plant and it is where females lay their eggs. i will post a link to how to set one up :)

they're adorable girls! the dark pattern is from stress, could very well be the other female stressing it out, but it could be multiple other reasons

my pet store disgusts me. they keep 2 adult females(around a year in age) in the same cage, no lights, bark on the floor, they don't mist and just have a sad little bowl on the floor. it's so sad and that's why i don't purchase from pet stores anymore

chameleon's should never be kept together, unfortunately pet stores lack knowledge in chameleons and do plenty of things wrong. they don't understand that chameleons don't drink from bowls, that substrate causes impaction, that they need calcium, sometimes that they need uvb lights, etc.

also ditch the mealworms as they are all shell and fat, no nutritional value :) do you have a laying bin set up for them by the way? females can lay infertile clutches of eggs without ever seeing a male and if they don't have the proper place to lay them, they can become eggbound and die
