Upon waking, his left eye was closed, he was rubbing it on a branch and it just overall looks different than the other. I’m very worried. it is ONLY the left eye however. I ordered a mister and it will be here first thing in the morning, hopefully he can use the mist to clean it himself...
This is what I’ve been using. I used the d3 twice a month only, and the regular on every feeding. Currently making all the changes that you suggested, my pet smart doesn’t have many options for chameleon food (sad for Miami) but I feel I need to correct the food a bit. The crickets at the...
Your Chameleon - veiled chameleon, male, 5 months old, has been in my care for 2 months.
Handling - 1-3 times per week depending if he crawls towards me on his own will, sometimes for morning sun outdoors
Feeding - small crickets, 6-12 a day depending on his appetite (which has slowed) he...
Hello, so a few days later and this is what im left with. His appetite is definitely back, he is moving around and being lively, but i am still seeing him close his eyes during the day and often. What else could be the issue here, is he just on the way up and healing but still dealing with the...
Just an update for anyone who is curious. OJ is back to his normal self it seems. He ate 12 baby crickets today covered in non d3 calcium supp, his basking light is new, better leaf coverage, I made cricket run for him, he is climbing all around and being very lively, even crawled out of his...
that went through my mind. It was my panic decision this morning but I have since replaced it.
Update: since this morning he has pooped, eaten a few baby crickets, tried to eat his pothos leaf, drank a bit and is being very active around his cage
Alright I switched out the basking light this morning, got his vitamins and supplements one without the three and one with, I made him a feeder cup, lightly dusted small crickets he is watching them but he doesn’t seem interested in eating.
Last night when I was misting, he put his head. In the...
Right. I meant when it comes to poop, I haven’t tested for parasites, only observed consistency and color. This behavior is only two days old and this blog post is my first line of action so far and reading information from others who have experienced this.
Fecal test, calcium supplements and...
Okay I will do that asap. 70 watt or should I do something dimmable so I can adjust temperature? I turn lights on 7am and off at sunset about 8. Everything goes off and the room is empty and peaceful
I purchased him from pet smart at 3.5 months, he was healthy and an avid eater but has definitely slowed his appetite down. Maybe his crickets are too big, but I’m definitely missing the nutrition side. I will go to pet smart right now and get everything for his supplants. I’ve been tong...
Currently I am using an Arcadia T5 6% linear bulb with a ceramic basking lamp in an aluminum housing. Not an actual incandescent bulb (arrives in the mail this evening)
His day temp is 80 - 85 in Miami Florida, he get morning sun from his window when I open the glass, humidity is 50% in the day...
My veiled aboit5 months old, when I got him he would easily eat 3-6 crickets a day with haste. Now about a month and a half later he seems to be slowing down drastically. He’s even started refusing super worms which is not like him at all. I’m also very concerned because I saw his eyes closed...
