No sap comes from any of the plants, I checked all the plants were safe before I got them. I researched 6 months before I got Isambard. Nothing abnormal on either shed. The only thing I can think of is the skin, during both sheds, didn't come off the toes properly, that's the only abnormal...

Only had him a little while so he's never been to the vet. Vit deficiency is unlikely either because he was showing signs of over supplementation (white crust from nose) so I cut his dusting down for a bit. He's also been chowing down on plants! and eating roaches like there's no tomorrow! I...

His toenails are fine, the normal colour (I dunno how you determine the colour of toenails!) but they're the same colour as a health chameleon. It's only 95 sometimes, 95 is the hottest it gets really. What temperature should a chameleon be? when the light is on the probe it reads between 90...

I got some pics. Apologies for the awful quality but I only have my cell phone camera. As you can see the toes are actually black and not brown. He has had this since his first and second shed. He appears to be in absolutely no pain at all as he's very active, grips fine and can climb with...

MBD or broken, either way that leg doesn't look right to me. Personally i'd take him to a vet.

Horn worms are unfortunately illegal in the UK due to them being a pest for tomato growers. Thanks alot DEFRA :mad:

I can't get a pic but my veiled has brown looking skin round his toes. I know this is due to the skin not coming off the toes properly. I doubt it's anything more because this has happened both times he's shed. He's absolutely fine, active, eating and drinking well. Is there anything I can...

Tales such as this are precisely why I never bothered with crickets in the first place. Roaches are more nutritious too I believe.

Yeah I definitely get the impression they prefer the dark. I keep mine in a plastic tub with black bin bags taped to the side and the box is kept in a cupboard with a very low bolt heat mat underneath. I bought 100 of them in July last year, I now have around 1000 :D it's the box that keeps on...

Personally I buy a roach diet from the guy I bought the roaches from. It has tons of nutrients in both plant and animal. On top of that i'll give them an apple once or twice a week. The food is so nutritious that my cham has shown signs of over supplementation so i've cut his dusting right...

Ah now this is better. Mine is coming up to 5 months old and i've had him coming on 2 months so I shall persevere with the bribery :) I'll give it a go with a glove but he doesn't hiss so I think i'll keep trying with my bare hand. Do you know me!? :p

Aww i'm sorry to hear that :(

See this is what I find strange, he has absolutely no problem hand feeding and he did it straight away without any difficulty. He even comes right up to my hand but if I go that much closer he moves away as fast as he can. I put my hand underneath him and lifted like in the videos posted on...

I'm trying to handle my chameleon for the first time since I got him about 8 weeks ago. I don't wanna do this regularly but as you all know you need to handle them eventually for health checks, viv cleaning etc. Was wondering whether leaving a green gardening glove in his cage would help him...

Seconded. I assume it's the thickness of her back leg and thinness of her front leg? I don't like to assume though, we all know what happens when we do that!

You need to get one that looks like this You also need to get a starter for it and i'd recommend a reflector too. I use an aquarium reflector hood for it and it works very well and spreads the UV all over the viv so he gets the rays wherever he goes, and has the option of hiding under a...

I wasn't having a go at you pal. It's just what i've read in books and care sheets from very knowledgeable breeders, noticeably chamelonsonly.com who have bred chameleons for 20 odd years. Yeah it is fun and satisfying too, knowing you're making the comfortable and keeping them healthy...

If i had it i'd bet you $100000 that your cham didn't adjust in a day. He may have appeared to have done so but I bet you he didn't. Adjusting means giving them space to be left alone, exploring new territory, finding a comfortable place to sleep, finding where their food is etc. This isn't...

No that's not what I meant at all, Brad. Joining a forum is all part of the research and is the reason I joined it. I guess I was taking little bits of things i've read from people in other forums and on you tube and applying it to what I posted here. I sometimes see people almost...

I second what everyone else says but I have to ask, why do you turn the light off for an hour? this is probably not helping matters either. Get yourself a separate basking spot light and UV tube, reptisun 5.0 is best and leave both on for 12 - 14 hours straight, there's no need for the hour...
