Welcome back. :) Just have to ask how your beardie is doing. They are often said to be good for beginner reptile keepers, but from my own experience, they are just as expensive and as much (or even more) work than chameleons.
Rather than list everything, the best way to get the basics is...
If we’re all a bit weird, wouldn’t that make us ‘normal’ for being reptile keepers? Maybe we just all have our own unique types of crazy. I apologize to my silkworms and roaches before feeding them to my animals and reassure them that it will be quick.
Defintely modify his environment to help him move around and be safer. When one of mine was failing (she had cancer) I moved her to a smaller enclosure and made a little platform for her, making sure to provide shaded areas and a lower platform to catch her if she fell. In some areas where I...
:unsure: I don’t know about this one. I’ve hatched out my share of (hornworm) hawk moths and have found even the smallest a bit too large to dare to give to any of my chams, or even a beardie. The only cham of mine that I would even consider would be my big male veiled. All of my panthers are...
This is what I’ve been getting. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X4Z8GQK?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 I like that it sprinkles nicely on my bearded dragons’ salads.
Yay! 🥳 The allure of the green gummy worms always wins out.
You might want to hide your fingers or he might someday try to eat them. I have to make a fist and put the worm on the back of my hand, especially for my lady Stella who thinks fingers are just fat worms.
I swear my roach nymphs have been watching the original Jurassic Park and think I’m a T Rex . As I’m hunting for them in their soil, they hold absolutely still, thinking I won’t see them. Rawr! 😂
That is strange that she refuses everything but crickets. Have you had her tested for parasites? Both silkworms and hornworms do move slowly, so it is harder to attract attention, but I would keep trying. Mine, who all love silkworms will hesitate is the silkie isn’t moving much. I will pick up...
You should probably invest in buying or making a feeding station of some sort. I like and use the shooting gallery. https://tkchameleons.com/products/shooting-gallery?variant=30018608595032 While nothing will be 100% escape proof, it does and excellent job holding feeders (except bsfl who...
Usually, as long as your husbandry is correct, your girl shouldn’t have any issues or problems with her eggs. Of course there’s exceptions to every rule and things beyond our control. Knowing what to look for and taking prompt action if problems noticed will help your cutie. If you want, we can...
If you can go bigger than the 36x18, I urge you to. Our little ladies are just as active as the boys and will use as much space as you give. I have upgraded each of mine to double wide (4’ long, 2’ deep and 4’ high) and seeing how they use the room, wish I could go even bigger.
Well, I can tell you that she hasn’t yet reached sexual maturity since she hasn’t developed her colors or patterns yet. I’ll guess that she’s maybe around 5-6 months old based on her size. She still has some growing to do.
Yes, that is a bit on the small side. She will definitely appreciate having more space. She may be in her receptive phase also..she is sexually mature and her hormones are kicking in and telling her to find a handsome guy to make babies.
Hi and welcome. :) You have a beautiful little girl. Do you have any questions about her care or anything that we can help with? Here is my blog on caring for our sweeties. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/
