I have created up some of the same thoughts as you Dave. I imagine myself in a house and connected through a series of two slider doors is a beautiful greenhouse that looks like a jungle with chameleons climbing through the branches and a little pond in the middle with beautiful koi and leaping...
Vitamin D allows the chams body to utilize calcium. Chameleons will naturally produce their own vit. D. if they are exposed to natural sunlight. That being said, not many chams will produce enough vitamin D in captivity so it is a good idea to supplement vitamin D in small amounts at least once...
Dave I am jealous!! He is so cute! I almost bought one at the local pet store a couple years back. They just have the cutest faces! Your son must be excited, he has some of the coolest animals!
Sorry about your loss Catherine. I don't think it is ever easy to lose anything. I have already informed people that I will be a complete wreck if anything ever happens to either of my chams. A lot of people think I am crazy for being so attatched to a lizard but it happens!
That is actually a good price and a very nice looking cham at that! Your local pet store probably sells them so cheap because they are maybe a month old and they are just looking for a quick turn around. And nothing against screameleons, because they have some truely amazing animals, but the...
I just bought some a couple months ago. I heard so much good stuff about them so I ordered some. They are very healthy but very small. My female wouldn't even touch them, and on top of that they were very hard to feed. You either have to hand feed or cup feed them. They are called worms, but I...
Good! I dont know much about gout, and the more I looked at the pic I think his leg looked a little funny just because of the way he was holding on. But I guess it is always a good thing to cover all bases. Like I said he is definatly a beautiful cham!
Don't mind at all!
1) get a fake plant that is very stury, you can also use a live plant, and put it into the shower.
2) turn the shower on and aim it at the wall. Feel with your hank where the water bounces off and make sure that is where you put your cham to perch.
3) Make sure the...
He is very handsome! Are you sure he is only 4 months old? He seems big for his age, but I have never had a veiled so I have no clue how fast they grow. As for the back leg I remember hearing something about gout and it resembles that a bit. If I remember correctly gout is from a high protein...
Thanks Kosmo! For the time being I think I am just going to leave him alone and continue to keep a close eye on his vent. There isn't anything protruding out, and I have seen sperm plugs in the past on his branches. I was just getting worried because he hasn't been defecating very often. I have...
