Alright, so I just finished at the vet a few days ago. We did a full check of my husbandry stuff, so I'm not going to bother giving any of that. We've also done an xray to eliminate any possibility that we misread my cham as female in case eggs were a problem. He's male for sure. There is...
^ For the above note, the superworm heads can be squished to make it easier for them to stay in the mouth, if you are still having problems in that area.
I was given carnivore care (a powder you mix with water and feed directly into the mouth 3x a day) while mine was in recovery from some...
I just had this problem! First vet appointment was today! I got a plastic tote and put a screen lit on it. Then put that in a bag (like one of those reusable grocery bags, large bag purses or whatever) to limit his visibility, so he wouldn't have to be stressed about being lower than me (buckled...
^ You've already got the solid answer you'll get from any of us. That is the size of my enclosure that I have for one. They need space to regulate as well, so not only is it the problem of them being together, but its a problem of each individual not having enough space without being forced to...
Ive noticed they are a bit likely to go on a food strike if they see food every day though... So while I agree, and I would continue feeding every day (just less amounts each day - cutting it in half in a similar way), there may be cons that come with it. Just know that if he does go into a...
The build looks good, except for the above mentioned stuff. I wont bother repeating. The wood really will need a sealant or all your hard work will be over! If it's not already occupied, I would highly suggest a stain (which will help maintain the quality of the wood) and then a cham-friendly...
Hello, I have my boy going in for an exam (he's showing signs of MBD and hasn't been eating to get the vitamins, he has proper lighting etc...) I'm concerned. Thus I have him in for this Thursday. It will include a fecal and a full exam at a Vet which I have heard great things about from the...
I'd try variation. Superworms actually arent good as a staple, but as a treat. I'd get a few hornworms (my cham normally finds them irresistable!) and put them on a branch within his sight. Chances are he'll snatch it up right away. I don't really agree with the force feeding thing either...
I have begun research into another chameleon. I currently own a veiled. Without going to the US the only other species I have access to would be a panther. (Though I would much prefer a carpet, I'll slowly expand... Maybe one day in like 5 years I'll figure out how to get a chameleon across the...
I know there are a bunch of things against petsmart and stuff on here, but let me just add another... The petsmart in my city has only ever carried veileds. And not to say anything against veileds - but its just a little bit better than carrying other species due to the fact that they are of the...
Though alfalfa is listed as a staple on the above iguana list I highly caution against feeding alfalfa sprouts. I had some extra and put them in as a gut load for my superworms and crickets, and they all died within two days... I hadn't changed any of the rest of my normal set up for them, so...
Okay, so its my first time leaving the house since I got my boy (9mo veiled). I'm only going to be gone for 3 days. His lights are all automatic, and (though hes currently on a hunger strike anyways) I'll have some crickets in the cage, in addition to the praying mantises that are already in...
