I was just talking to someone today about looking for a new place JUST to make more room for my chams and a few extra cages! I admit it... I too am an addict
It is possible she's still got some eggs, but most likely she would've laid all of them. Frequency of laying depends on many conditions; temperature, lighting, stress, etc. I think it is common (depending on your species) to lay only 2-3 times a year, but if you give the right conditions, she...
I feed mine usually every other day. When my female is pregnant I usually feed her everyday with higher calcium doses. She gobbles me up at this time, never had to worry about her not eating.
I would not suggest it. Pay someone if you need to to shadow you and take notes on exactly what you do. It's a short enough time to where they can follow a routine and call you if something weird is happening. 12 hours will cause them a TON of stress, not to mention if that's only one way. If...
Hand feed all the way. I do this with silks as well. My thought process is this: they love them, they hydrate rapidly(in case of dehydration), and mine eat anytime there's something in my hand. It's like a dinner bell when I put my hand in for them and triggers their reaction to find the food. I...
If you got her recently and she could possibly have been with a male, incubate them and you'll know if they're fertile within the first few weeks depending on if they go bad. Be sure to give her tons of water and high calcium dusted food. She'll be thirsty and hungry
That's a very interesting topic. I wonder if there is a certain amount of in breeding due to the amount of offspring per chameleon and a hobby breeders urge to keep going. It seems to me that most chameleons would come from the same bloodline at some point or another
There are much more experienced owners than myself, many of which that I respect greatly have already chimed in, but for my routine for my pregnant female was silkworms almost strictly, with dubia dusted in extra calcium (for egg bearers) once a week to add a "ruffage". Of course there were...
He's spoiled... 2-3 worms every other day seems really low. I take it you give home crickets too? You can stop the strike if you offer nothing but crickets for 4-6 days. He'll get hungry and continue eating like normal.ive got 2 picky eaters... Oy vey I know your pain
As I tell my brother; "it's not the lesson itself, it's that we adapt and learn from that lesson", so don't beat yourself up. He's probably ok, just keep a close eye on him and be aware of the potential risk in the future.
Happy herping
