I would opt for a permanent feeding station, like the shooting gallery. https://tkchameleons.com/products/shooting-gallery?variant=30018608595032 Attach it, leave it in place and put the feeders in. It may take a short time for your guy to get used to it, but once he does, you’ll find him every...
The reason I was tagged - doh! Unless you are setting up a bioactive enclosure, it’s best to keep the floor bare, especially in an aquarium-type tank for a chameleon…which shouldn’t even be in this type of tank, but…. Wood chips, moss (real and artificial) and things such as this pose serious...
I’ve had a problem with pests getting into my feeders, even when I had them in the house. Yes, I’m also in Florida. I took some lids from my biggest storage bins that were extra, flipped them upside down and put a nice ring of diatomaceous earth in the dip near the edge. This works great for...
Hi! :) You’ve gotten some great feedback for your precious guy. I do have a few comments and additions for you. The first is have you taken him to a vet yet? He does have significant mbd, and a vet can help greatly with his recovery…vitamin injections, special more potent calcium, etc. He will...
I love that purple snail vine! I’d love to plant it in my backyard, but I don’t have a good history with that. Everything usually either dies or very literally takes over the little wildlife area behind my house.
I have to wonder if Spooble has been born with the tendency to accumulate or form the plugs. It’s not really anything that can be proven/disproven other than if they continue to recur in spite of your best efforts to prevent them. I do hope that this is not the case and that your handsome fella...
I try to keep a nice thicker layer of leaf litter and some decent sized pieces of cork bark for the isopods to hide under. Just this morning I caught my two girls hunting their clean up crew. Occasionally I’ll give the cuc some of whatever I’m feeding my feeder insects - I put it under their...
I have to disagree about the silkworms. They are quite nutritious and make a great staple feeder, and yes, they are hydrating as well. :) I’ll provide info to back this up later…no time now.
Lightly dust with phosphorus-free calcium without D3 at every feeding.
At one feeding every other week, or twice a month if you prefer, lightly dust with either Repashy Calcium Plus LoD OR ReptiVite with D3.
This regimen is great for panther or veiled chameleons and when used in conjunction...
As has already been said much better than I ever could, we need to be very cautious and responsible about the info we put out here. A new keeper could read this and think they don’t need to give supplements. Something like this would be better suited to starting a conversation of, ‘this is what...
