Luckily I've never seen a cham at our petco. Everyone is really friendly though and the store and cages are super clean. They ARE building a Petsmart also. I got my Senegal from a local pet store. I didn't know anything about chams and I could tell she was being mistreated horribly!! I got her...
OMG! I didn't think she would like worms so much! She's eaten 4 little calci-worms and 3 or 4 small superworms. I let her eat alot, because she has been on a hunger strike for like 4 days.. DOWN WITH CRICKETS! So I figure I will just feed her a variety of worms, since she seems to like eating...
Patchouli didn't seem too interested in her crickets, so I went and got her some small superworms, calciworms and flightless fruit flies. Put a couple of each worm in a little dish on top of her hibiscus plant and she went right for them! It was SO cute watching her nom the worm!!! Now she's...
Looking for some good places to order hornworms, silkworms and a variety of feeder bugs other than crickets. Apparently no place in town feels the need to have any other feeders than crickets. Any suggestions?
Yesterday I took Patchouli to the vet. Luckily he was honest enough to tell me he didn't really know enough about Chams to be able to give her the best exam possible. Anyway, we were in the waiting room and she was on my hand. Everyone was Ohhhhing and Ahhhhhing over her of course.. It was like...
Just a minute ago I lifted the cover on my Cham's cage to check on her and she woke up and looked at me like.. WTH? What do you want? I was like... Sorry... LOL! BTW I cover her cage at night because it's in the office of the house and either my husband and I are almost always on the computer...
Thanks all! Yea, I want to make sure she is happy and healthy. She's already had enough mistreatment in her short little life and I'm going to make sure it NEVER happens again! She seems pretty happy in her newly remodeled home. She climbs all over the place and basks and all that good stuff...
Patchouli update!
So here is Patchouli in her newly remodeled home! I put 3 live plants in there.. A Pothos, a Ficus and a Schefflera (or however you spell it). Got her some Rep-Cal Herptivite multivitamin to start off with and got her a Reptisun 5.0 UVB lamp. Here are some pics!!! :D
True about the insects.. I thought about that today. She won't be getting more. I will be posting pics tomorrow when I am done redoing her cage, so you all can tell me what you think. :D BTW, I checked out those 2 articles you posted Trace. REALLY informative, thank you SO much! :D
Yea I noticed the marks on her and wondered what they were. Poor thing was in a TEENY enclosure with NO climbing, with like 10 other chameleons AND they would spray mist directly on them for like 30 seconds, 3 times a day. AND the guy said he had had them for 2 weeks. All the other ones were...
Couple more pics of her. She was in the sun in the window for awhile, then we sat outside on the patio. :) So all I need is a UVB 5.0 bulb for her and some live plants and she should be good? I also need to get stuff to dust her food with...
