Got the new cage setup. Still waiting on one more larger ficus. He seems comfortable. He still hates misting though. As soon as I start misting he runs for cover.
On the ground! Weird huh. I was walking to the back of my truck when I heard some rustling in the thick leaves on the ground. I looked down to see a bright green/yellow lizard. At first glance I thought it was an iguana or somthing. He tried to bite me so much I had to pick him up by his tail...
I appreciate the honesty. Its not that I cant afford a new cage, its that Ive been mis-informed twice. The first time a small pet store in east county sold my a friggin fish tank. After some reading and talking to another pet store I bought a screen small cage. Ive also bought two uvb's, another...
Thats awesome Kent! I dont know if you saw my other thread "found cham" but I talked to a near by neighbor today where I found the cham and he said theyve seen it in the trees before. That tells me its been out for a while, or there is more than one. I tried to ask when the first time he saw it...
Is it normal for a cham to turn very dark while in the cage? Once I get him out he really brightens up. He is definatly still very timid when I try to handle him, but once he is climbing on my arm he brightens up and is pretty kick back.
Before I found him , I had no idea how to take care of a Chameleon. i feel like Im pretty educated just after a few days of reading on this forum. Pics of my setup are posted on the other thread I had posted. I know the cage is a little small and the bark isnt a good idea. Ill be removing the...
I visited the site where I found the Cham today and knocked on a few doors. The home closest to where I found him said they have seen the Cham in the past up in the trees. The home owner wasnt excited that I came to his private home to ask about a lizard so thats about all the info I got. I also...
Thanks for the kind words. Ive been scanning craigslist "lost &found" and evan googling "lost chameleon san diego" and nothing come up yet. Maybe I should start a thread here. I definatly have the "bug" and I wouldnt want someones family heartbroken.
Man I would be super bummed to let him go but I guess this guy would be more happy with his rightful owner than some newbee like me. I guess Ill consider it foster care untill someone speaks up.
oh he wasnt chill when I went to grab him! He was hissing and trying bite and running pretty fast too. Now that he is here at home he super kick back. Ive only seen him get dark and frustrated once when I moved to fast with.
Wow I had no idea I would get such a response so fast! Thanks for all the help. Ill be visiting the pet store tomarrow to pick up a few things. The cage is going to have to do for now since I just bought it but Ill be saving up for a larger one. Im so curious how long he was in the wild for...
Heres the cage setup. Im a little confused on the lights. Which light to be on when and for how long? Ive noticed she likes to slep from about 6:30pm to 8:00am. Should turn both lights off when she is asleep? Im refering to it as she because I dont see any spurs on the rear legs. How often and...
