My Chameleon has rules. If I play within them, then I get kisses and all kinds of love sounds.
First rule, Don't try to feed or bother me first thing in the morning. I need to get warm and when I'm warmed up, I'll need to get a drink of water. That is my ritual for a nice morning.
Leave the...
I think my two Jacksons are good examples of sweet and easy to handle chameleons. My male always comes to the front and climbs right onto me. My female is becoming the same.
My veiled love me to pet him (in his cage behind the large mesh), but he's not comfortable riding on me. Or outside the...
Perhaps we should cultivate a list of cham safe care strategies against natural disasters, like these killer ants? Safe ways of preventing or abating situations before they come to the attention of others who will use harsh chemicals and injure our chams. ?
I have been very diligent about my chams and my crested geckos as I fear for them. So far, I've been ahead of any beginning disaster. I'm neurotically cleaning everything constantly. Not getting much sleep these days. The poison my landlord did yesterday has affected my chams appetite today...
I laid 6 of those combat things last Friday before this. Didn't even phase them. I won't spray. I just keep cleaning.... wiping them up, vaccumning and moping.
Don't know why they are in my computer room, but they're here
The battle continues...
And yes... it sucks... and they bite!
Although the landlord was told that I needed to know so I could remove my delicate chameleons, I did not have it in writing. So deep down, I guess I knew I dodn't have a leg to stand on. I did not ask him to spray poison for ants. I am using cinnamon as my repellant. Chalk is another natural...
Is there a part of the cage that you can poke half the worm through and hold onto the back half? This makes them wiggle like crazy and the cham feels like your hand is not involved if it's on the other side of the mesh. Might make a worm hole in the cage at the end line of his major perch, the...
Ants that prefer meat, and attacking me, my crickets and worms. They've found and killed hundreds. They even attacked my house guest, racing up her and biting her for killing a line of them at the front door. Real They bite me a LOT. "Twilight Zone" stuff here.
Anyway... I've been cleaning all...
I've been using the zebra silkies for a few months or so. Unfirtunately, they are as volatile as the originals. The only difference being that my guys don't seem to care for their taste as much. They have that little spike thing I see on hornworms backside, when they are bigger. I miss the old...
I have a picture of my Jackson butting a big rock with his horns trying to flip it. I believe it's a
natural form of hunting for them.
I'm sorry about Big Red too... :{
My male Jackson's sticky doesn't always work, so he has learned to take directly from my fingers. I hold the cricket by it's back legs. Just one leg and the cricket can usually break off from the leg and escape. Anyway.. the main thing is that by holding it by the back legs you still get the...
So I went to take today's fecal picture and there's only a tiny bit of musus. Nothing to really show what I saw before. But to better describe the [I]item[I] , it was if you were to see a tiny egg, (1" diameter) where the yolk was the urates. Very shiny, nearly that same consistancy as the white...
