I bought ficus at Home Depot is was about 3' tall and it was full and healthy. I even had to trim it a little. The problem with ficus is watering. It does not like a lot of water. During the Hot month I misted 2 min 8 times a day. Two month later most of the leaves have fallen off and it is a...
My cage is the mess. It was not like that before. I had a very beautiful ficus about 2 month ago. Unfortunately ficus's don't like a lot of water. During the hot months I was misting the cage 2 min 8 times a day. Log story short I need to replace the plant. I was looking for Schefflera but for...
So this is my cham.
He is 5 month old.
When he is fired up there is noticeable white line around his mouth. I notice that at the edge of the mouth the line is yellowish-green. So initially I though it could be a start of mouth rot. However, after reading the symptoms for mouth:
"Symptoms of...
Yes they are and thank you.
I checked on the cham later he did not went up on the tree and he was sleeping on the side of the cage clinging to the mesh.
Obviously I don't think it is good, but maybe this is their escape behavior. We had a very hot temps in SoCal this week, it was 106 degrees in my area. My cham has ficus in the cage. The cage is in the pool house where sometime it gets warmer than usual. Today I took him inside and placed him on...
Whether I want to feed him or not, he only ate 2 crickets and maybe a medium size dubia. Maybe he is ready to go through another shed, however, he went through one about a week or two ago.
Take a look at these maybe you can tell me if he looks healthy.
Sorry for the large images. I want...
Can I stop feeding my 4 month old panther for couple of days?
This is my 2nd cham and with the 1st one I learned not to feed the chams the same food everyday. With this one I am trying variety of foods. I feed him dubia and blatia roaches, superwarms, crickets, (praying mantids, silkworms and...
I have a ficus. Can anyone suggest what is the best way to keep it alive? I bought it about a month ago and re-potted it. I have mistking and it is on 5 times a day 2 min a time. In addition to the mistking I have a dripper, which drips on the plant. The plant was OK for couple of weeks, but...
It also depends how hot it gets. You want to mist more when it gets hot. Also what kind of plant you have. Too much water may kill the plant. I have my setup 6 times a day for 2 min each time with two nozzles. I also have a ficus and I think i am over watering it. I see new growth on the tree...
The color at night is always greener then during the day. However, he is not supposed to be very dark during the day. If he is dark, dark green then he probably stressed. He maybe too hot.
Also couple of more things:
If you can get him some sun basking that would be good. I usually did it...
I, until about one month ago, had a WC Jackson. From my experience I can tell you this:
1. Make sure it does not get too hot during the day. 85 degrees is max. Jacksons like cooler temperature.
2. Try to feed him something other then crickets and meal worms. Get some dubia roaches (or any other...
I second that, I also recently bought a 3 month old ambilobe. On day that I brought him home he was actually chasing dubias and mantids, then next couple of days he was not interested in food, may be ate 6 to 7 crickets. Now he is a lot better. He eats a lot. In fact in the two weeks I had he he...
I had a WC Jackson (which runaway), I wanted to re-use the branches, but was afraid that my new cham will get parasites. So I replaces the plant and bleached the branches for 3 days and then air dried for 2.
Yes, they are a good feeders. I always trying to get an ooths and get some mantids. So far I have been unsuccessful so I bought already hatched ones. For a big chameleon the small mantids will do nothing so you would need to feed them and get them bigger. It will take about two month to raise...
