hi all, so, this morning I sprayed my boy, Alfie's, vivarium, and he pushed out his hemipenes. So I shouldn't worry initially, but wait and see? They have gone back a bit. I was told if it didn't retract in a few minutes to soak him in sugar water. However he hates being handled and gets...
Well I guess it's a sad fact that some people put money before welfare of animals. Sadly learnt this too late for my little Freya. Stupid when you consider how much the cost of the viv set up was. It's not like I was trying to save money, I was going on his recommendation. It was never about...
Well hello anyway. I've bred (purely hobbiest level) corn snakes and would like to try with panthers at some stage but won't get another female til I'm sure of my set ups.
Hi Andre and Davecameos (wayhey someone else see U.K.)
Thanks for above posts. Yes retrospectively I think the shop prepared supplement may have contributed to the new problem, maybe the light too far away, not sure but I'll certainly ensure zero room for error in future. My vet recommends...
Well hello Jillian, Nick here. I bought my male cham from a different pet shop - much more trustworthy. In fact he was one of the first people that told me (from pics) that Freya was female rather than male. I'd love to meet up with a UK breeder for advice and check their set ups.
No, trust me when I say I'm at Homer Simpson's level of "where's the "any" key?" Ok so I've just read lighting for chameleons 1 and 2. Twice. Thank you that was what I was looking for, and sadly or happily it showed me that I was pretty much doing the right thing so it looks like the vet might...
Bulb changed 3 months ago when u moved her to bigger viv with laying bin plus the readings given in my post were taken today with my new UVB meter. will check link now thank you
UVB µW/cm²/strength questions and positioning: hi all, I've lost my little darling female panther chameleon, Freya, aged 10 months. After a few days intensive care at the vet's, the vet recommended putting her to sleep. She had MBD and was egg bound with her first infertile clutch. Now, yeah...
µW/cm² and strength questions: hi all, sorry to jump in here, but this seems to be the most recent threat. I've just lost my little darling ultra friendly Freya, aged 10 months. After a few days intensive care at the vet's, the vet recommended putting her to sleep. She had MBD and was egg...
To be honest I think quickest is the best way. But I'm "taming" Alfred Lucifer but by bit, he still does all the puffing up and changes colour to yellow and red patches (still not mature enough for full colour) but I spend 5 or 10 minutes a day with him in my hands. Let him walk up your hands...
He's fine. But made a rookie mistake yesterday. Was cleaning out Freya's viv yesterday afternoon and left the door open, half hour tops. Not even that. Went back in and she was gone. I'm on the 2nd floor and have a balcony with loads of plants but she'd have had to climb across the chest of...
If only it were mine, sadly at the tender age of 48, life events and dodgy health conspired against me for getting on the property ladder. So it's just me and the chams, Freya and Alfie (aka Lucifer) and Bathsheba my female royal Python. I'm also an indoor/balcony gardener, hence my place having...
