She certainly looks a little thick..its so hard without physically seeing her. I am begging of you...PLEASE REMOVE THAT DREADFUL BARK SUBSTRATE!!! silly chams sometimes eat that stuff and it causes all sorts of problems. I know you said the previous owner has passed. Question being, Has this...
Chameleon Forums see's many of these posts. Chameleons can be the kings of Bi Polar. Its the only way to explain it. I have worked with chams for over 20 years and have found that it ultimately doesn't matter what you do, sometimes your chameleon will tolerate you, and other times, they wont...
I have worlds of experience with female veiled's, and to the best of my knowledge, judging by her colors, she is not currently gravid. The beauty of female chameleons is that the colors will actually tell the story. Female veileds tend to get very dark with yellow spotting banding..etc when...
I would second that what you have is a Kinyongia Vosseleri. The Actual species of Kinyongia Fischeri (The Fischer's Chameleon) is rare, and judging by your pictures it is almost impossible to tell due to the fact that several other species are also mistaken as the Fischer's Chameleon. Never the...
This is usually caused by extra fluid of some kind. And it may very well be a allergic reaction to something. Its extremely hard being as they store fat in the casque, that of course looks like either a really well fed boy, or it very well could be one of the following. Fungal...
When it comes to a laying bin, dont feel you have to rush out immediately and have it all set up within the next 24 hours, but in the next week or so, definitely offer her one. Females can be unpredictable sometimes, and since the breeder you purchased her from was mistaken about the sex, there...
Chameleon moods vary so much its best to just honor the mood of the day. our male ambanja can been a social butterfly, trying to get your attention like no other, allowing a brief jaunt on our hands etc.. and other times, he will rip your face off if you get close enough. Out of all the...
As long as you have your lights on timers, and a sufficient source of water (dripper/etc) you should be ok for a two day excursion away from the chammo kiddo. Chameleons in the wild are opportunistic feeders, and although they probably wish they could find 16 items of food a day, i'm sure it...
Some chameleons need a adjustment time frame when coming home before eating. I would really focus on ensuring she is drinking, for that is a very important part of a homecoming. As for eating, continue to offer her feeders. Pick a spot in the enclosure and leave the feeder bowl, hanger...
Like many older chams, they often shed in pieces rather then a entire body shed. He must be well fed and needs to stretch outta that tight skin :D no more skinny jeans for him
Dont be alarmed!! often younger chams can pop a shed like no other. One minute they are in appearance perfectly normal, the next, it looks as if the chameleon is wearing a white smock. Just make sure during this time you periodically mist, and then let everything dry. The moister helps with any...
