He's looking great Kat! I'm glad he's being so friendly! It took my boy a while to come around for me.
Vigilant lets see her! I have not seen a kandiroo girl yet!
HAHA! That picture of naboo! Its just like my boy I thought he was a little strange cause he liked to be tucked into branches like that but it looks like its a chameleon thing!
My panther is ~7 months old and he eats the branches of his hibiscus.. he actually has grape vine in his cage but he has never tried to eat it even though he loves the hibiscus branches.. I've tried to get my cham to stop but he wont so I've learned to live with it. I think it's fine unless he...
You chameleon does not have a genetic disorder just because he does not show the same coloration as his parents or siblings. Your chameleon can show recessive colors that do not show in the parents or offspring. To say that your chameleon will have other mutations because of that does not make...
Your video does not work but does it look like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyJsiTXmAwY
That's a very strange behavior but the owner in that video said it was a one time thing
Edit: At first it said your vid was unavailable and now after watching it, it looks like your cham just looks...
Yeah I agree with what you're saying.. I should do my college research project on chameleon genetics :D I'll be like Mendel and his pea plants lmao.
I found an old topic that helped out a little with understanding and what other people think...
That's what I thought at first but I though there had to be a dominant and recessive allele. So there is no dominant color? This is an interesting question
Okay what I first wrote was totally wrong.
The problem with this question is that I dont think anyone knows which is the dominant gene/allele Red bars or Blue bars. If you have a 100% Red bar (homozygous dominant) mated with a 100% blue bar (homozygous recessive) and red bars are the dominant...
If you have already moved it up and he is still opening his mouth I would move it up more and just try to find that perfect point where the temperature is perfect for him and he stops opening his mouth. What watt bulb are you using right now? Almost everyone uses 75w & 60w bulbs. And using a...
I think it's too hot, Chameleons will still sit under the bulb even though it is too hot for them. I'm pretty sure they lack that judgement. I would either move your lights up or lower his basking spot. Also how are you measuring the temperature of his basking spot? A temp gun,electric gauge, or...
If he's still hungry then keep feeding him IMO. If they're 15 small crickets that is normal, when people say only feed him 5 a day they may be thinking in terms of large crickets. My panther was the same at that age, he'd eat 10-12 small crickets 2x a day. But when I made the switch from small...
It's definitely normal..I dont think chameleons really think about edges. it makes me laugh cause the same thing happened to me.. I let my cham climb on the table while I was on my laptop and he just took off and fell right off the side of the table. I think it's because of how their eyes are...
Yeah I would feed my cham 8-10 small crickets when he was younger about an hour after he woke up and he'd usually eat them all up and then around noon I would give him probably 8 more. You want to make sure your chameleon has time to bask and digest before going to sleep. Now that my cham's...
It is awesome, but that may change once he grows! Renly used to have his sleeping spots but now he's too big for them! And now that I've rearranged his cage he's been sleeping in random spots.
I'd say your cham is getting curious and is just going through a stage. Do you free range your cham? Does he come out of his cage a lot?How old is he? And when did he last shed? My cham refused to eat and would kinda pace around the bottom right side of his cage trying to find a way out. Last...
