if you have a sample it always helps to bring it in for the vet but I think it may have to be a fresh sample....Someone correct me if I am wrong....Also with the temp of 85 is that through out the whole tank? Is there any cooler parts of the enclosure for the cham to cool down? This probably has...
I am not sure what you expected by making this thread....Even if you do not agree with what everyone is saying you knew the only answer you would get is take him to the Vet. Did you think someone was going to call you and do a step by step surgery over the phone or something? It seems you are...
First off I would not accept that from a vendor because that is an unacceptable product to sell IMO. I would personally throw that away and go to petco and get a new culture and start making news ones. If petco by you don't sell them then work with a new vendor or someone here...I would be...
The slime in the first pic is fine it maybe because your keeping the culture to hot. The second pic shows mold and that's bad....that will cause the culture to crash. It is ok if you have no flies because it looks like you have old larvae on the walls which means you probably have them in your...
I have pygmies as well and love them...They are easy to care for and are great in groups....if you ever have a question I am in NJ as well I can always try and help just PM me.
I actually think pygmies are a great first Cham for beginners because of the enclosure they are set up in. I keep mine in an exo terra which make it very easy to regulate temp and humidity. I feel feeding is pretty straight forward because they are so small you really do not have many choices. I...
I don't know about anyone else but keeping cham's makes me a paranoid person all the sudden....I find myself waking up worried....Did they poop? what color was it? are they eating? what color are they today? how's my humidity? Am I misting enough ? to much? .....I almost feel like knowing to...
I have a new pair of Jackson's as well and here in New Jersey it's pretty humid but was having trouble keeping my humidity up for these guys needs so I wrapped the sides of the cages with a clear shower curtain. I have found that this forum will give you almost everything you need to know with...
I just made two of these exact feeders yesterday thanks to the OP and this awsome idea. The only difference for me was I used screen instead of the gutter guard because when I used the gutter guard the small crickets didn't seem to want to use it. I have small Jackson's so I need small crickets...
I do this for my Pygmy chams too....I have tons of dart frogs so I have springs and ISO pods all the time. I didn't want to drill my exo terra so I took a bottle and cut the top off and poked holes at the bottom. I made a false floor with that white plastic grate stuff you see in floresent light...
So I went to feed my pygmies yesterday and noticed one of them is hanging his back left foot instead of using it. The leg is not swollen it's just the foot. She is eating and drink regularly and uses it if she has to but mostly hangs out in one spot just letting the leg and foot hang. I know...
I am by far an expert but my experience is I have kept two different veiled chameleons with this as my main plant and I had both chams for years. They only ate the leaves a few times that I know of and it never seemed to be a problem. I also use it for my Pygmy chams but I have never seen them...
I will try to snap more pics....I have been leaving them alone so they don't get stressed through this first couple weeks....Thanks for your help with this
