The bulb is attached to the side of the cage pointing down, I'm afraid if I put it too close he'll burn because he climbs on the top all the time (upside down). The branch is about 4 in from the top of the cage. I measured with a digital thermometer in different areas and even on the top of...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
Male, Ambanja Panther Chameleon, age about 8-9 months, in my care most of that time.
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
Not often usually, lately a little more...
That's a lot of Red-Ears! I hope you are preparing for when they get BIG. I had 2 females before one was about 16" and the other was 12".
I have a Painted Turtle and Peninsula Cooter now.
He was punished for "... forgery of a public record certificate, fraud and introduction of pests affecting plant life." Although the roaches are a problem, he was so harshly punished for the fraud and forgery lol
Same here. He was a little upset with me because he couldn't see out of his eye, but when he got in the water he turned such light colors and I could just tell he loved it. He even moved so he could be more under the water.
The plant wasn't actually hanging from anything, it was sitting in the tub, as I didn't have anything else to put him on. I'd probably get a taller fake plant next time...
Anyways, I positioned the shower head so it was bouncing off the wall behind the plant. My shower head has like a...
So my Ambanja, William, has been having something going on with his eye for a few days. He kept having one eye shut, but he would move his turret around like he was looking around, and sometimes would make it bubble out like he was cleaning it. It wasn't constantly shut though, he was opening...
Yesterday I took this video of William, my approx. 10 month old Ambanja cham. I originally was taking the video because his one eye was closed and he wouldn't open it. There must have just been something in it because when I started filming he opened it and it looked fine.
So I trimmed...
I cup feed my Ambanja. I don't hold the cup, I attach it to the side of the cage. Most of the time at least a few crix escape, so I see him both hunting them and cup feeding. It's worked for my baby, but like some people say, the chams can get lazy. I some times hand-feed him wax worms, but...
LOL, Laurie I will have to give him the rest on Christmas. :) He loved it. Wax worms are definitely his favorite treat...he hated roaches, so normally he just gets crickets.
Occasionally I get my Ambanja, William, a treat of wax worms. It's been a while since the last "treat" so when I gave him some today he got extremely excited! He turned the most amazing green/blue color and literally RAN for the food container. It was funny to watch, I wished I had a video...
I sent flowers to my grandma one Christmas, from a reputable flower company. It was snowing where she lived and they arrived frozen. It all depends on the shipping company really. If they let the plant sit on the truck and it's not temp-controlled it can/will die.
