Incubation
Just an update.
She laid 38 perfectly goodlooking eggs (white with the slightest hint of pink)
I have taken the addis bin i used for her to lay her eggs in, took out the leftover sand and turned it upside down.
We placed the eggs in a 2 litre plastic ice cream box ontop of...
I'm not sure really, i started a new thread in the breeding section asking about incubation tips - as this thread is now beyond the scope of the topic.
She only laid them throughout the night. she is till on the floor covering the hole.
I will be patient and just wait until she sits on her...
Hi all,
I had some issues getting my cham to lay her eggs, and she finally did so during last night!
Please can someone tell me how to incubate flap neck eggs?
What to do in what etc, as i have no idea what to do.
Thanks
Just an update, i bought a 60 litre addis plastic dustbin over the weekend, removed the flap on the lid and replaced it with plastic mesh. i also went to the pet shop and got some advice from the pet store owner, i bought "dune sand" (two packs). the pet store owner also told me that when i...
Thanks.
To also answer your previous question regarding calcium intake, i dust about two crickets every second day with a calcium and vit D3 powder.
She has been digging trenches, but it might be because of the depth.
I'm going to have issues getting the soil to that depth as i have a...
Thanks!
I think the soil is roughly 13cm deep. I have to measure the depth to be sure.
I will take a pic and show.
She has been diggin for three weeks.
Hi there,
I figured i'd only give an update when she had laid her eggs.
But she still has not lain any. I have placed a sort of dome like object in the bottom of her cage, and wrapped the lower pert of her cage with a blanket. She has started digging, but still no eggs. I'm not too sure what...
I'm not sure as to how much i should feed her to be honest.
here's how i fed her the last days:
Saturday: 2 crickets - with Calcium and vit D
Sunday: 5 Crickets
Yesterday : 6 Crickets - one cricket coated in clacium and vit D (gutloaded)
Sofar today 2 crickets. (gutloaded)
I feed the...
My Chameleon looks alot more like the Senegal, as she is usually that kind of green and also does not have the head like the common cham.
I will post a picture tomorrow i just need to take one.
Can they be overfed? (I'm sorry for the millions of questions, but as you have probably realised...
Thanks for the advice!
I am pretty sure it is a common Cham, as she doesn't have any distinctive horns or features, she just looks like an ordinary chameleon.
I am from South Africa, and fall is busy starting here. - So that's good right?
I also put her in the sun everyday (Only half of the...
Ok i will try that. i think the soil (it's not dirt) is deep enough, but i will close the lower part of her cage during the day tomorrow.
I am extremely worried as to what might happen if she does not lay her eggs.
Thanks will try that.
Sorry, here is the rest of the info required:
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - It's a big tube shaped cage made with plastic mesh and two lids.
* Lighting - I have a 60w reptile heating lamp
* Plants - I am using live plants
* Location - Cage is in my study the lowest traffic area...
I just received a common Chameleon (i think) on thursday.
It was a wild chameleon and is responding pretty well to being in the cage we built for her.
She eats well, even eats crickets out of our hands when offered.
The problem we have is that we can clearly see lumps on her belly. And her...
