I've noticed lately that there are a lot of members out there having success with Mt. Meru's, and even lots of babies!! I just wanted to try to get some group input from all of those members on your husbandry and keys to your success so that I can offer mine the best possible care. So... I...
I'm not sure on that, I think that the 6% is the same as a 5.0 and the 12% is more like a 10.0. Send them a message and they'll be happy to help you decide.
I would suggest doing your own research on them. Maybe if your dad see's that you have taken a legitimate interest in chameleons and are able to tell him about them, then he may change his mind.
I would be interested in at least a pair, depending on cost. I actually purchased the group last week off of KS, but by the time everything got sorted out there was only a pair left. When I got the pair the female was in really bad shape and only made it about 24 hrs, but the seller was great...
From the picture he looks completely healthy, doesn't appear to be dehydrated or anything.
Some more info from you on his setup and how you are caring for him would help so that you can make sure you are doing everything right.
Look for the How to ask for help and copy and fill that out if...
If you could fill out that how to ask for help page that would be great. Also is you have any pics of him and the set up.
I see some problems with his care but need more info, like type of supplements and so on. The biggest problem I see right off the bat is that he should be eating way more...
Yes, I think they do short you sometimes. I've order boxes of 1000 before and gone through them so fast that I swear that there was no way there could have been more than 500 shipped. Although today I opened a box of 500 and there has to be at least 1000 in the box. I guess the only thing you...
LED's require a driver to make them work, so you either have to buy a fixture that is already set up to run led tubes or change the ballast to one that is compatible with LEDs.
It is not an air pump! It is a power head, meant to be in water. If you use an air pump you will shock yourself pretty bad. You need to check your facts before telling someone to do something. Water mixed with electricity is a potential for a very bad shock and possibly death.
First off, get rid of the water dish and substrate, they will only cause problems.
The basking light needs to be at the top of the cage, chameleons like to bask from the highest spot available.
No lights at all during the night!!! They need complete darkness and she will be fine with the temp...
Heard of what exactly, that she doesn't like to be near your veiled? , yes I would say that is completely normal!
I almost have to throw the BS card on the eating baby ducks though, I know she is big but so is a baby duck. I'd love to see some proof of that.
Just let him go, he is probably still checking out the cage and getting familiar with it.
Give him a few days and he'll calm down. When I first got my jacksons and put him in his new cage he turned black and didn't move an inch for 24 hours.
