I recently had a seagull steal a whole slice of pizza out of my hand. Took everything but the paper plate :)
In my opinion I also doubt your chameleon likes to travel with you. I'm sure they like to free range but I believe it is probably experiencing undue stress when you are carting it around.
It's very possible.
"The oldest part of the brain, shared by all vertebrates, is the brain stem. In 1977, Allan Hobson and R McCarley discovered that electrochemical pulses from the brain stem create the stage of sleep in which most dreams occur."
Has anyone noticed their chameleon...
My male veiled did this on the weekend. I wanted to move him to his outdoor enclosure while I was changing his plants. He was running along the top screen of his cage trying to avoid me and in his desperation jumped 3 feet to the bottom of his cage!? Although worried for him it did seem a little...
Thanks for doing such a good job raising them. I just moved her into a larger screen enclosure so she's adjusting but doing very well. My male is also doing really good.
I have a male and female veiled that are the same age and the male is 3x the size of the female at 4.5 months old. They both eat about the same amount everyday. The male has a florescent tube UVB source and the female has 2 compact florescent bulbs as a UVB source. That is the only difference...
I got the shelves at Ikea, about $30. I knocked out a couple of the wood planks that the cages sit on so I have a clear path to the drainage tub and use the planks on top of the cage to rest my drippers on. I found that if you spin the valves a bunch on the Zoo Med Drippers they loosen up and...
Speaking from recent experience, if you do get a chameleon don't put him in a glass enclosure unless you drill drainage holes in the bottom. Do yourself and your chameleon a favor and buy a screened cage. Makes looking after a chameleon so much easier and you'll worry less about RI.
I use a Zoo Med Big Dripper that I fill everyday (1 gallon). It lasts the whole day, lights on till lights off. I also have a Monsoon mister that runs four times a day for 18 seconds and my cage floor remains dry. I drill 3 small holes in the bottom of my cages and keep a rubbermaid container...
My baby girl was doing this when her basking spot was 30 Celsius, I dropped it to about 27-28 degrees and she does it a lot less. I suspect your basking is a little to warm.
