Helloo everyone!
Dante, my veiled chameleon is about to turn 1 year in a couple of weeks...
And he is looking happy, great and healthy. I will upload some pictures when he turns 1 year xD
I just would like to be sure Im doing ok with the feeding amounts...
The care sheet says that the amount...
Hey everyone x)
I just have a question on dubia roaches...
I bought about 50 to 70 small dubias, 4 months ago...
They have all grown up and they are adults.
The thing is that it seems to be that I have a ratio of 1:1 male to female...
I know I should have a ratio of 1:3 male to female ...
Helloo everyone!
So... I decided it was time to get an extra feeder option for Dante....
So... I got some lobster roaches.. I actually hate them... but thats fine as long as Dante has more options..
So.. I have this question... I dont really know how small they are when they are born, and I...
Hey everyone! x)
I have found some of this insects in my cilantros...
Does anyone knows if they are safe for my cham?
that way I can get rid of them and Dante would have a little snack every now and then x)
Oh.. by the way...
As far as I know... infrared heating lamp its supposed to be used at night.... It provides heat for nightime...
You dont want to provide any heat while he is sleeping... chameleons like a temperature drop down in the nights...
I would recommend you to get a regular basking...
5.0 linear bulb uv its fine...
I havent heard about the infrared heating lamp...
I use zoomed basking lamp... but as long it works for you, it would be fine...
trust me... all the information you need is in this forum... I have found that forum works much better than most of the books, since all...
As for the wood....
what does it looks like?
some members bake branches to get rid of bacteria and stuff...
I did it once and it didnt work well for me... my house got all smoked up, and I ended up with a smokey smell all over the place for a couple of days...
We recommend not to use any substrate at all...
substrates are ground for bacteria and all your feeders will get lost in there...
We also recommend to have a full mesh cage... you see... chameleons are arboreal, that means they live high in the trees, so they get good ventilation...
If they dont...
By the way... dont use many waxworms and mealworms..
they are too high in fat, and thats not good for chameleons...
And.... about vitamins and calcium.
You want to make sure you have this 3: Plain calcium, Calcium with d3, and vitamins.
Plain calcium should be used everyday... and calcium...
Hey!! welcome to the forum x)
you will find a complete caresheet for jackson chameleons in here:
https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/jacksons/
How old is your jackson?
maybe you could try to skiping one feeding day, and then offer him some crickets or dubias... its better if he...
my cham used to do that when he was young too...
You could maybe attach the vines to the sides instead of having them at the top?
I cant see the whole terrarium, but it also seems that it would be better if you fill it with more foliage/ plants...
here is a picture of my enclosure...
I would think of it just like a coincidence..
My chameleon has his favorite sleeping spot.. but he changes sometimes..
it also depends where he was before lights went off...
Im just like you... I lost my first chameleon and now I overprotect my cham...
he is about to be 1 year old now :)
dont...
Its just matter of time..
give him time to get to know you are the good food master.... he will start to get to know you.. and you will start to know him and see what he likes and doesnt...
dont push it.... just let it be... you will get to hold him when its time...
The first time I got to hold...
Nice! post them so everyone can see x)
Chameleons love to spend time outside, and they do show up beautiful colors..
My veiled Dante.. HATES to go outside... he gets really nervous and he gets high contrast colors... So I can easily tell he is just not having a good time...
Jish... it will be very helpful if you fill in this...

Caclium with d3 is toxic if you offer everyday...
IT should be used just like Justin18 says...multivitamins and calcium with d3 twice a month..
I use them on sundays... and I alternate them... one sunday d3... next one vitamns.. next one d3... and it goes and goes...
Plain calcium is used...
Great I will keep that in mind...
He seemed normal today..
I was really worried because I saw him with his mouth opened today in the morning..
but sometimes he yawns and stuff like that, and keeps his mouth open for a little time..
he has always done that, but today I was really paranoid..
I...
Thank you... I will calm dow a bit..
sometimes I get really paranoid with my pets...
I will just calm down and see any strange signs..
This happened yesterday...
I used to do something like that to teach him...
I dropped drops of water in the front of the head and he started to drink after a while..
after a couple of days he would just get close to the syringe and start drinking from it...
but yesterday I was giving him water and something really...
