I am pretty sure the general cause of a bend (or big curl) is MBD (metabolic bone disease) which is probably due to the chameleon not being fed properly (poor nutrients / gutloads for feeders) or due to it being raised with out a UVB bulb.
Sorry my mistake! :-P I just don't think people should discuss things without proof. I've studied genetics and biology and could not say that there is no way that a green variation of Nosy Faly couldn't exist in the wild. If you can show me proof that there is no possible way they could exist...
Texas is nice, the difference between my hometown, Katy (near Houston), and where I go to school, Lubbock (panhandle), is night and day. It snows here in Lubbock in the winter and is 105 in the summer. I like Texas weather. Only down side is... it takes forever to drive from on side of Texas to...
Everyone needs to take a step back. Chad just wanted to show everyone his Faly (a very pretty one imo), and it seems as though some of you are trying to discredit his pet. If you don't like it, keep your comments to yourself. You know that golden rule... If you don't have anything nice to say...
Recently I was at the vet with all four of my WC chams and all of them need meds to get rid of parasites. And, he said that the best way he has found to open an unwilling chams mouth is to use a dull credit card's rounded tip to gently open the mouth or to gently pinch their neck flap to open...
What the people on this thread are trying to say is, Pet stores sell products that claim to be good for chameleons, but that isn't always the case. I know along with everyone else here that you would never intentionally harm your chameleon. But, some of your methods of keeping are a little off...
I literally had to tell the lady one the phone, "YOU ARE GOING TO BAKE MY ANIMALS!!!" That was the third time we called, and she miraculousy was able to get ahold of the driver in less than 3 min after that call.
It was a stressful day for us, BUT the wait was worth it!! They are GORGEOUS!!!
That is awful. :( The nerve of some people... I'm sorry for both of y'alls losses. I hope you get them back safe and sound. Maybe the people who took them will grow a concience?!
I LOVE SALT WATER TANKS!!! Ever since I was a kid, my Dad and I have always had a fish tank. He downsized about a year ago from a huge tank with a massive lion fish and a big powder blue tang to a small coral tank with just a little maroon clown. :) Your old set up is beautiful. Is that a tomato...
The chameleons I care for are not the same as yours, but I thought I'd let you know my experience. Moose, a Veiled, defecates rather regularly at about two times per week. He is 1yr old and eats 8 med/large crickets every other day along with occasional treats of fruit and other insects. Adonis...
Dog food for two 65lb + dogs gets expensive. I go through the largest bag of science diet in less than a month sometimes. Its beneficial to use petsmart coupons.
