It does sound like woolly aphids. I have them on a pothos sitting in a fish tank that I have at work. It really has not seemed to bother the plant at all. Every so often I wipe the leaves off with some rubbing alcohol, then rinse the leaves before I put it back in the tank. None of the leaves...
I would stick with the smalls. You can judge feeder size by looking at the space between her eyes. If the mediums are not wider than this space then they are ok to use. If you choose to stay with the smalls just double the quantity. For instance if you would give 10 medium then go with 20 or...
Private pools are a lot different than public pools. A public pool often has a much higher chlorine content because of the sheer volume of people that use it. My pool's chlorine level is only a little above the chlorine content of drinking water which many of us use to water our chams.
Your welcome. Like the others have said everyone here is passionate about their chams. Some but not all the posts were a bit unkind but again mostly because everyone here cares so much about these animals. I hope you don't let this cause you to leave the forums. There are so many incredible...
I am glad you have taken the advice to heart. No one wants to see such a beautiful boy get injured or worse. You obviously care for him or he would not have developed into such a beautiful chameleon. I hope you have many more happy days with him and remain part of this community. It may have...
Calici worms, phoenix worms, reptiworms all the same and all very good for the cham. I order them by the hundred. I put them in a small critter keeper with fruit or other veggies and let them have at it. I have grown them to be almost an inch in length. They cannot climb smooth sided...
Just because an animal can swim does not mean it should swim. I have seen numerous videos of chameleons swimming in the wild if they have to they can. Your chameleon is beautiful but please do not subject it to pool water. I have a pool and I keep my chlorine level on the low end; there...
There are 3 or 4 different kinds I think all with different cycles. Some come back every year, some after several years and some for the 17yr cycle. If you google it there are different schedules in each state as to when certain species will emerge from the ground. Even if you wait a year for...
No need for snarky and I don't think anyone was being sarcastic. As was mentioned you should only use reptile formulated vitamins and calcium or calcium with D3 unless specifically directed by a knowledgeable reptile vet. Human supplements are not necessarily formulated with the proper calcium...
I think it may be a sperm plug as well. You could put him in a shower. Place a large plant in the shower/tub. Turn on the water and direct the spray onto the wall and then it will bounce off the wall onto the plant/chameleon. Try to increase misting his cage as well. Do not try to pull it...
Awesome video. I am going to read the article tonight at work. I feel privileged to be in such knowledgeable company on this forum. Thank you for sharing your love, passion and knowledge with us.
I am not sure you can breed cicadas. It would depend on what kind it is I think. There are different life cycles I think. Some comeback every year and others not for as long as 17 years. Not entirely sure how it works with those bugs.
This is one of the easiest feeders to raise but of my four chams only my latest eats them on a regular basis. I got CJ when he was about 5 or so months old and he had been raised with roaches being part of his diet. The biggest problem with them is getting the cham to recognize them as food...
