First, check and see what kind of plants they are. That is important. Can you post a few pictures of the chameleons, the plants, and the temporary enclosure setup? The calcium D3 should only be used every few feedings, maybe twice a month. Other than that it should be the standard D3-free...
It would be beneficial if you filled out this form real quick:
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the...
I am told that incandescent lights are better, so I made the switch. But I don't think a chameleon's life is long enough for it to do any long-term damage either way, unless an owner makes the mistake of having to small of a distance between basking bulb and basking spot.
Well, I would suggest getting a proper veterinarian diagnosis. As for the part where you said he mistakes your fingers for worms . . . my cham does the same thing. Anything that moves, especially the tongs, she will run after with her tongue cocked.
Maybe fill this out so we can get more...
I make sure to keep a close eye on her. In other news, I saw some blue coloring on her casque today so perhaps she is finally maturing, since I have never seen blue on her before. No sign of it today, but hopefully it shows up again. Thanks for all of the help, it eased my stress a bit. If I...
Do you think that could potentially shorten her lifespan? I never know what to expect with her but I make sure she has all of her needs met. A few weeks after I bought her, she wasn't drinking from the mist and she was severely dehydrated. I knew for sure she was going to die before morning one...
Oh my apologies, I didn't see that previous post. Her cage just has sticks and stuck on the bottom, and it is hard to get a laybin down there. Even if I could put one in there wide enough, the depth wouldn't be enough. I have a pothos hanging that reaches a few inches above the bottom.
That is...
No one can figure it out. I mean, I have asked before. But she randomly just changed colors permanently and I don't know if she is just finally maturing, or it's something more worrisome.
I just thought that combined with her new colors it could be eggs. Why do you think she wanders around? I...
Also, she NEVER wants to sleep. I turn her lights off around 6 or 7, and then it takes her literally an hour of wandering the cage to find a spot. I know this means she wants to lay eggs, but she has been doing this for over a year and no sign of eggs. She will go to the bottom of the cage and...
Edit: I bought her from *ugh* Petco on In February 2, 2016 so she should be sexually mature, but she doesn't really show mature colors. I think there were some health complications from Petco. I will always regret that. She just grew a whole lot so her growth was definitely delayed. At her one...
