Short answer- ask a vet! I have stories I can tell of people dosing their pets with meds only to end up killing them.
Other short answer- might be worth checking Linda Davison's book, she covers stuff like that. Might be in there. I can check when I get home if I remember (fair warning: I am...
Well, you could chop it up and make a milkshake out of it but it seems that would spoil the fun!
[Edit]
Oh wait, she named it! She officially cannot feed it to something! It has a name!
Problem solved.
AllFallDown,
Saving the world one giant moth at a time!
I have no idea if those are safe to feed to a chameleon. They look like the large moths we have around here (I do not see them very often). I guess I am wondering why you want to feed it to your cham. Seems like with all of the alternatives which are proven to be safe, there is little advantage...
If nothing else- invest in an RO system, or get 5 gallon jugs and fill them up in the vending machines in from of the grocery stores. Seems like tap water is almost never your only option. Costco has some RO systems for pretty reasonable prices- they seem to be of pretty decent quality too.
I...
I know my veiled goes nuts in the morning when I mist his cage. Sometimes he does not like it and gets mad- usually he runs (whatever that means for a veiled chameleon) right up to the front where I am spraying and gets in the path of the mist.
Side note: I still owe you some carnivorous...
Agreed, especially if it is done respectfully (sounds like it was) and if you do not feel comfortable with caring for a female. I would just caution that you be careful not to view them as products or merchandise. But of course that is based on my own personal philosophical view of things.
What...
I can relate. Only thing keeping me from having a reptile zoo is that my g/f would kill me. She got mad when I got the bearded dragon. Didn't talk to me the rest of the night. Now she loves him- even got a baby blue belly lizard for our daughter. That surprised me since she has stated multiple...
Sounds good to me. I did not mean to suggest you should not rehome the babies, not by any means. My point was simply to make sure you are diligent about starting a breeding project- there is a lot to know.
Pull that light up a could of inches. Check the temp and make sure it is in range. It is best not to have the light fixture rest directly on the screen. Even if you lower the basking area, he is likely to climb on the ceiling from time to time and get burned.
If that blister is in fact...
Ok, here is my thought (this is going to tick some people off, fair warning).
Lets assume that the video is in fact real. I am not condoning their husbandy practices- quite the contrary. The video with the 3 chameleons in one terrarium is enough to convince me they are bozos.
Now, what is the...
Yeah, that tail is bothersome. The fact that it is hanging like a limp noodle just seems a bit weird. I am wondering if it is a toy and they shoved it into its mouth.
