Thanks :) as soon as I got him (he was a christmas present) I made sure i read up on everything he needs and obviously joined this forum, which has been the best thing I've done! There's so much useful information here. To be fair though my boyfriend did a LOT of research when building his...
Thanks! That's really helpful. I didn't really want to just stick to crickets so i think i'll vary his diet as much as possible.
I'll probably be the same with feeding him too much. My boyfriend recently told me off because my female leopard gecko was looking a little tubby so I cut down on...
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any advice on feeding? I have an (aprox) 1 year old male veiled cham. I've only had him since christmas so I'm still trying to figure out what he likes.
Obviously I know a lot of people stick to crickets as the main food source, is that the norm?
At the...
LOL...with the pound to dollar rates at the minute it would probably cost me a years wages!! OK, OK, maybe that's a little over-exageration on my part, it'd still cost lots though. Definately more than i can afford straight after christmas :(
You're right with Calypso, I've just googled it and that's a calcium only supplement so I'm ordering it as we speak. Thank you so much, you're being a massive help for a cham novice!!
Wow thanks for all the advice guys - ok answers to questions!
Firstly for RichardTexasHerp - Thanks! My boyfriend built the enclosure for me, he's a joiner (I have a feeling that in the USA you don't call them joiners, maybe a carpenter would be a better description?)
Brad Ramsay - The...
Oh right! So he shouldn't grow much more then? I do have a Ficus plant to put in there with him I just didn't want to overcrowd him. Thanks for the advice though, I'll put it in for him shortly!
Ok, here are the pics of Cassius and his enclosure. Any opinions, tips etc. will be greatly appreciated as I still have a lot to learn. In the enclosure pics he has wood chip substrate...I have since found out (from this site) that that's very bad, so I've removed it...now he just has paper towels.
Hi,
At the minute my cham's enclosure has a wood chip substrate on the floor. I've only had him since xmas. Since joining this forum I've seen that most people think that no substrate at all is best.
Just now however, I came accross a fleeting reference in a post to wood chips causing...
I got my first ever chameleon as an xmas present! He's a male veiled called Cassius. Best present ever! I'm working on getting some good pics so I can show him off :). My boyfriend bought him for me and rescued him from his rubbish enclosure at a nearby pet shop, now he has lots of space in his...
Hi,
I got my first chameleon (and his amazing enclosure) for christmas. He is a male veiled called Cassius. I was just wondering if there's any way to estimate his age?
Apparently the people at the pet shop weren't very helpful information-wise. He is about 11" long including his tail, his...
