What greens do you offer?
Are Kale and Spinach OK? I heard they might be bad because of oxalic acid causing problems metabolizing calcium... And have always been told to avoid any lettuces with reptiles, as they are mostly water and no nutrition...
When misting my screen cage, alot of water gets through the screen and onto the walls behind my cage.
Does anyone have any solutions for this
Is there some type of plastic I could use? What is the best way to cut and attach it?
I am having a difficult time getting my 5 Month Old veiled chameleon to feed from tongs or from my hand.
I have tried crickets, dubia roaches, hornworms, butterworms, and superworms-- He eats all of these when they are loose in his cage, or in a feeding cup.
But when I hold food in front...
Is it OK to use Powdered Bug Burger (not mixed with water and cooked), to Gutload Mealworms, Superworms, Roaches, and/or Crickets?
I just wonder if you dont add water, will the "Gel" portion of the powder cause a problem or dehydrate the feeders?
I tried hornworms for the first time today...
My veiled was interested in the first one I put in his cage, right away.
But, the first two times he shot at it, the Suction Cups on the Hornworms Feet were stronger than my veiled's tongue, and he couldnt pull it off the floor of the cage...
I have had my baby veiled in a smaller screen cage with a CFL 5.0 UVB Bulb.
Tomorrow, I am upgrading him to a 2'x2'x4' screen cage, and plan to get a Tube UVB Light, for the bigger cage.
Is it better to get a 10.0 UVB or a 5.0 UVB?
Is there any reason not to get the Stronger 10.0 UVB...
Hi,
I have had my male veiled chameleon for about 2 months, and he was about 2 months old when I got him, so he is now about 4 months old.
Today, he is pacing all over his cage, on the ground and all over the vines.
I have read that when they are "teenagers" they will go through a period...
I bought some Silkworms and Dubia Roaches for the first time, and have a few questions:
Silkworms:
Each day, I am finding 3-4 silkworm dead, in their container, each day.
-I am keeping them in the same container I purchased them in, which is a deli-cup with ventilated lid, and a filter...
After misting his enclosure, my Baby Veiled (3 Months old, Male) likes to wander around his cage, and seems hungry...
I often see him "shoot" at the bottom of the cage, when there are no feeder insects in the cage-- Maybe he is shooting at water droplets or shadows???
Is this normal, or is...
