Hi all,
3 weeks ago I figured that my veiled cham (Lenny) wasn't getting enough water and humidity during the day. Because I was going away on working experience for a while and that my (very busy) girlfriend was going to take care of him, I was going to have to make something automatic...
Well might I suggest taking him out to bring him on another part of your home like a big plant or something. My veiled sometimes speeds out of the cage to get on my hand cause it's like a taxi...I usually put him on the big plant in the kitchen and have a hard time getting him out because he...
haha...cool thread
Since I'm such a big Simpson's fan I named all my pets Simpson names:
Our cat is named Jasper Beardley (Abe Simpson's friend)
Our male veiled cham is named Lenny (Homer's co-worker)...so of course my next cham is going to be named Carl.
Good to know, thanks! But the bulb is actuallly a repti glo 5.0 from Exo Terra. The vet told me that this brand is actually only good for 4 months rather than 6. I just forgot to ask about the percentage of UVA/UVB.
Hi,
Yesterday I bought a new UV lamp for my 8 month old veiled cham since the old one was 6 months old. When I got home I noticed that it wasn't the same model. The last model was 3% UVB and the other 7 %, the new one is 5% UVB and 30% UVA. This seems to me to be quite a difference. Can I...
My girlfriend's cat is very interested in Lenny, but we taught him to look and not touch. And Lenny rarely sees the cat...so it's working out for me. Cuz I like 'em both!
Hi again,
I've been refraining from misting Lenny before his lights come on in the morning (since we get up before him) because I assume that he might get cold or something, and that misting should only happen when there's a heat source. Am I wrong?
It would be practical if I could mist...
Welcome Gordo!
You've come to the right place...there's alot of knowledgeable cham-lovers here (I'm not one of them....haha). Get ready to know alot about these little guys and gals.
Well seems I have asked a question with no real answer. But I would still like to know if its a good idea to take your cham out of his cage to roam in the room with supervision. Lenny does seem to enjoy just perching on my fan (which is no higher than his cage) and observing me working on the...
I was wondering there is a reason why chameleons feel compelled to come out of there cages to explore. Is it to see if there are other chameleons in his territory? Is it just for the heck of exploring? Is it to hunt? Do you guys let your chams out to climb around (with supervision).
Was just...
When I started out with my little veiled (he was about 4 inches then...maybe less) I put him in a 65 gallon cage too in which he still lives. I'm glad that he turned out ok. But what's exactely is the problem when a cage is to big? Isn't the wild just one huge cage?
It's a Pothos Marble Queen (Scindapsus Aureus)...It's pretty good because it has alot of relatively strong vines and will creep up the piece of wood I put in there. As for the cup, I use to put it on the floor until I read from some threads that it's better higher up. I just let it hang mid-way...
Lenny's cage make-over
Well after seeing everybody's cage setups I've realized that Lenny's cage was pretty pathetic. So I've added a pothos plant, a bamboo stick and rearranged his vines. Seems to really make a difference! what you guys think?
