She's not quite 3 months old. Her cage is 30x16x16 but actually like 22x16x16 because I lifted the floor to make it easier for her to hunt. ChuckG delivers again. This time next year I may be getting some eggs ready to cook! :)
Coming soon, 1.1 red bar Ambilobes! My collection grows by...
Around 5 months I believe. I'll try to find the exact hatch date, but he's looking like he will color up nicely. I have a younger unrelated female coming in tomorrow.
I understand where you're coming from, and when I first got into chameleons, around 1999-2000, I was told d3 every feeding and a multivitamin once a week. Then I took a break through high school and college. Now that I've gotten back into it, I was surprised to find out how the status quo of...
That's what I was looking for, thanks Olympia. Even with keepers that have a larger diversity of feeders, it would be impossible to replicate closely enough a chameleons natural diet to the point they wouldn't require any supplementation.
Thanks olympia that helps a lot. It was one of those instances where I knew what was right, I just semantically couldn't entirely explain why. One thing though, do you still provide daily calcium? Do since straight calcium and d3 are different and they don't get calcium from the sun, where do...
So I spend a lot of time lately bouncing between a couple local pet stores that specialize mostly in reptiles. The topic of supplementation came up and Larry, who is an older gentleman, just couldn't understand why I needed a calcium supplement without d3. He thought that was for chams you kept...
My male ambanja finally showed interest in Dubia roaches by eating two half grown ones this morning. This makes things so much easier I hope he continues eating them.
So I'm breaking ground today on my Cham shack. Which will be 20x30 insulated, climate controlled, plumbed building for my growing chameleon(and probably ackie monitor) ventures. Im starting to hand dig the footers today. So at this point not much to see, and I plan to invest a good deal of money...
Man my friend and I were talking about the same environmental controllers the other day. I even thought about the feeding thing, but I'm thinking getting those darn crickets to be predictable could be an issue. Maybe the tube is dark and box is dark, and a small led comes on at a determined time...
What is this? People can't hoard chameleons like they do cats. Because they don't tolerate substandard husbandry very long. If you want to interview nuts, go to a peanut farm.
I use a plastic 30 gall long vinyl terrarium. No escapes because it's very tight fitting. Door opens in front, no escapees. I can show you and sell it if interested.
I pinch the legs off my crickets so they don't escape, and the rubbermaid tub k keep them inside minimizes escapes. A breeder bin outside is heated but I just pull them from that and gutload them properly in a rubber maid inside and clean it regularly, little if any smell.
My panther is a six month old and he is in an adult cage. As long as you have plenty of pathways for him to get around and cover for him to feel secure you should be find. Also deku I will update you if I find a decent price on materials to build my own. Right now I'm getting some mid sized...
