Just wanted to reply to this.. so much this! I too have PTSD and am "retired" as a result and keeping a Chameleon while being stressful at times has definitely given me a focus and wonderful hobby, it's also very peaceful just watching my boy.
To the OP I would trust Kinyonga He/She has never...
Aww thanks! I thought it was super adorable too! Chams are not cuddly pets but sometimes I just want to boop his lil snoot. I really love that little boy <3
Not sure where the OP lives... but where I live Silkworms are done... no availability for at least 3-4 months. Black soldier is scarce.
Unpopular opinion... My Cham existed on small meal worms for several months and had zero digestive issues (I also gave him fruit and greens which I know is also...
Hi!
I kinda suck at this quote/reply thing lol
Here's my input and hopefully more knowledgeable members will chime in/correct me
I have no idea how old your lil boy is but he sure looks wee <3
My boy was so much bigger than the pic of your boy when I brought him home.. and he ate around 9...
Gotcha, I was initially confused as I am not familiar with your breed type, I AM familiar with Jacksons however, as good friends of mine have one. I still stand by my personal experience however, my Cham also became very picky about his feed when his vision started to fail (unbeknownst to me at...
Haven't read all the replies but a few things immediately struck me.. the waving arm motion is what they do when moving and trying to secure footing on a branch or sussing out what is in front of them when they are having some vision issues (That is separate from when you remove a healthy Cham...
Hey guys! Pm Kinyonga, but was hoping for some quick feedback.
Male Veiled in a 24x36 enclosure (Not open to suggestions it should be bigger right now) It's well populated with a mix of live plants and synthetic plants and plenty of real branches and faux branches has optimal basking and UVB...
Interesting I was given one of these and its sitting in a box somewhere, it seemed too "fussy" to me to mess with LOL I'm lazy, I use a monsoon (which also isn't popular here but I only run it with distilled water and my guy loves it. If anyone reading this wants a large dripper plant PM me!
Pretty sure in that enclosure the 10.0 is too strong, I mean search my posts and see what the "experts" here have told me. This person needs a 5.0 strength and needs to lower the plants so the chameleon has at least 6 inches from the UVB.. I mean Im no "expert" but just brought a veiled back...
He's had butterworms before and dislikes them, he really digs mealworms (unfortunately) when he ate crickets he only liked the small ones not the large ones, I have heard about the fly larvae and I will need to research this.. I think coming out of this health fiasco though should I stick with...
UPDATE..
I sent Kinyonga a PM, but going to post here in case anyone is around, so I've been incredibly busy the past several days, but the new lighting and Monsoon has been set up for days now & I've been continuing with his eye wash and eye lubrication 2x a day and he's been drinking droplets...
