mines definitely taken a spill or two. but he usually sits on the ground like as If saying "aww crap..." and then he just looks at me until I pick him up. it feels like he is trying to tell me, alright... I'm done for the day, can you give a Brotha a lift?
but u might just want to...
just got a ficus for my chameleon and he really loves it. the only thing is that it looks like it's losing its springiness. it's wilting a tiny bit. I was just wondering if I really need a plant bulb. why are they labeled indoor plants if they die indoors...
so since I basically have to hand feed my cham water, is it ok to get a syringe and inject water into the crickets bodies before I feed them to my cham? Obviously I could really care less from the bugs point of view because I'm feeding them to a dinosaur anyway but he's not going to get over...
ah yes. ill just share some of the things I figured out when I got my cham.
1: humidity is much harder to sustain than I ever imagined
2: your chameleon won't eat right away so don't be alarmed
3: some chams don't drink from a dripper on their own so pay attention
4: research...
so after reading this of and on, it seems like you guys are stuck on the problem that chameleons might not be able to stay a captive species for long if wc chams aren't introduced. but are the chameleons falling to survive? I've read a lot about their clutches getting smaller but if it's...
interestingly enough, I put a paint tarp around his cage too keep humidity in better, and you can't really see through it and now his eyes have the typical sun patterning, I haven't been home since I checked but I'm assuming all the traffic was stressing him out
did you click on the photo? I've seen orange urates before, there is a brown, a white, and in the middle of the two, is a long deep reddish orange. its not normal. I make sure he drinks everyday
Currently the only real sign ive noticed of him acting out of the ordinary is his appetite has slowed, but that could be me just looking for a problem, and he seems to be slightly duller clolors lately. other than that he is extremely active, drinks, eats two LARGE crickets usually daily, eyes...
Your Chameleon - Panther, Male, i think 5-7months, ive had it for a month
Handling - everyday 10-15minutes depending on mood
Feeding - Crickets gutloaded with carrots, and superworms
Supplements - Dust with calcium without d3 everyday, and d3 once a week, same with multi V
Watering - I water...
So ive had my Ambilobe BB for about 3 weeks maybe? maybe like a month? but ive just got a couple things i would like feedback on.
1: is humidity/drinking. right now i don't really mist the cage much, i live in cali, and humidity is posted at like 15%, so its very hard for me to maintain 50%...
Armstrong crickets has always been the cheapest site ive ever found. 20$ flat for 500 crickets shipped to your door at any size, plus they have supers and i believe others.
He could be just getting used to being around the other lizard and the cat. i know my panther has his days sometimes where he is just a nasty black, and hes in my room all day alone, so sometimes they are just in a bad mood and sometimes its the surroundings
Hey have you emailed them or let them know what happened? im sure if you told them immediately about what had happened they may give you a refund or another chameleon. Most big breeders like LLReptiles will have at least a 30 day guarantee, and you only had him for not even half that. so thats...
I've found that moving very slow as to not give him any chance to suspect your going to hurt him and also approach from below him. if he gets pissed just keep your hand there and let him know that his bad behavior won't be rewarded with what he ultimately wants, which is you to leave...
