PLEASE take your heating light off that damn schedule, and read a care sheet. I am sincerely doubting that you ever have.
If you HAVE read it then you are not understanding parts of it. We would be happy to clarify anything that is confusing to you within them.
I also have a very crabby veiled, hes about a year and a half old now.
His grip alone can draw blood, he is so big. He tries to kill me for the crime of putting bugs in his bowl. I accept that he is a "look don't touch" animal :) It's just the way some are :)
I feed crickets, horn worms, silk worms, an occasional horn worm moth, wax worms & moths, phoenix worms and black soldier flies occasionally, butter worms - I personally do not feed hard worms such as meal or supers. Meal worms are garbage, and supers is just a personal choice :).
I don't have a...
Nicky, if you refer back to this thread you were advised by this forum in January to raise your temperatures. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/fasting.146270/
We can't help you with your mother. We warned you about needing them on your side about lizard care before you got the chameleon...
Is the lower 60's a night or day temp? I remember some members chatting with you about the low temps not long ago. Did you rectify since then?
If low 60s is a day time temp that is too low and could absolutely contribute to her eating, or lack of.
Re checkups:
For me personally, I take one of my cham's for check ups yearly. My other boy I do not. I only take him if there is an issue but I take his fecal's in. The reason being is he is very large (his grip draws blood), cranky and does not tolerate handling unless absolutely necessary, so...
As earlier requested multiple times, please fill out the how to ask for help document. Perhaps there is something we would be able to pick out like we've been able to in the past for you.
Nicky my dear, I am certain I could look up multiple threads started by you during your rough beginnings with us where many of us let you know that you would need variety in your feeders. I'm not going to spend my time doing so, but I know it's out there and that you've likely argued it.
Silks...
Huh, interesting. I've never heard that before but that makes sense! I don't feed harder worms but if I do I'll for sure do that.
Phoenix are so squishy or chewy already ^_^
My boys eat a LOT of phoenix worms. I went and bought a little tiny strainer (the ones that you use to keep food going down the sink) and I dump a spoonfull in and sift the dirt off that way. If the medium is moist and not coming off then I run that under warm water, which makes the worms super...
Likewise. When I said aggression in my post, i meant the attitude that he displays due to being afraid of me and being defensive. It's not downright malicious, he just doesn't like people.. He hasn't been mishandled, it's just the way he is. He's a look, don't touch animal in my house and I'm...
