Okay, so for anyone else who hadn't bothered to look up what hornworm pupae looks like because your cham just gobbles them up too fast for them to last that long... here is what I found after transplanting my ficus plant.
After thoroughly freaking out that some unknown cocoon-like thing of...
Congrats on entering the world of chameleon keeping! I've only had mine a couple months, but it is honestly one of the best creatures I have ever kept! And it looks like you have a cutie! My cham certainly doesn't eat every day, so I wouldn't get too worried yet! :)
Different option all together
Woahhhh! You arent wasting water, you're wasting money!! Most things that will be in your water system can be eliminated by filling up a jug/bowl/something up with water and leaving it out (and open) for 24hrs. Then, since you mentioned its fairly concentrated, if...
Firebelly toads! (Technically frogs~)
I had a 10G tank that was empty since my fish died a while back, so I decided that today was the day to get it back up and running! Just wanted something simple that wouldn't outgrow the tank - thus, this little guy! Since I've never had one before...
Woah O.o are you buying in bulk or containers?? I'm in Kelowna, and no way do I spend that much!! Not sure my shops would be much help to you, cuz they are all little shops, but try to find smaller pet stores in the area! (One's you'll probably have to drive around and find - not find on google)...
Also, this is the list I reference when finding non-toxic plants. But I've looked at quite a few of these in garden centers only to find that they would NOT be strong enough to hold a cham, but its a good list if you're scavenging branches and such from outdoors or whatever - so this might be a...
Ugh, since I'm lazy and don't feel like copying and pasting, I've put up quite a bit of info I've collected particularly on Ficus plants; but also Purple Wandering Jews, and some minor comments about Dracaena plants here. Partiularly troubleshooting dying Ficus plants, because they are a finicky...
Forgot to mention...
I guess as an additional note, since I posted a photo of me holding him (which was a quick snapshot as I was bringing him out of his box the day he came home) he is only handled when needed - cage is thoroughly cleaned (everything taken out and wiped down) once a month, and...
Minor concern, but following his shed, I've noticed some color changes... which I KNOW is normal, but I figured he'd get brighter... not like this. Maybe I'm just being over critical, but I've been noticing that there is a white line developing on the back edge of his casque. (I'll attach a...
There - so it's still somewhat hard to see, but theres 4 rope-looking things below the thermometer, and those go around the base of the pot so there's about a two inch gap below it, and then the lines trail a bit on the bottom because its been growing so freaking fast. The lamp holder, which you...
Yes the purple wandering jew is the vines. I need to get a picture of my current set up... but I took out the bin cuz it was taking up too much space and got one of those lamp holder things and got the rope things for hanging plants and did it that way - that way it takes up less space, crickets...
I've used natural branches that have fallen off of outside trees. The concern here are the pesticides you might be exposing your cham to. I chose an area to collect them from that I knew was not cared for by anyone - thus would have less chance of pesticides on them. That said, I did soak them...
