Any solid ideas on what wire mesh works best for a Chem? I have about a year old veiled and am going to construct a cage for him to have some more room. I want to make it pretty big and put it in front of my sliding screen door to the back yard. This way I can put a bunch of plants in there...
Nice
Very nice play area. Just be carefull though becuase yesterday I let my year old veiled out of his cage and onto a plant in my living room. (like i do once in a while so he can play around)
I usually check on him every few minutes or so to make sure he is still there and not going...
gloves
I used a pair of gloves to handle my aggressive veiled last weekend. It worked really well. I took him outside on my hand for a bit in the sun and he was changing colors a lot. It was really cool but after about 5 min I put him back.
He did try to bite my hand when I picked him...
Veiled
My veiled is grumpy too. I used to try to take him out once a week but now I don't even do that. I havn't handeled him in a few months except the time I left the cage open and found him climbing up a bookcase on the other side of the room :( ... when I picked him up he was really...
feeding?
I love your cage... I want to build one myself but unsure about feeding. How do you feed with so many plants in there? I have a smaller cage and just put the crickets on the ground. Rodney either comes right away and starts to hunt or he relaxes for a bit before he hunts. I guess...
Grinder
A grinder has nothing to do with Chems. A grinder is something you use to gride... For example, if you wanted to gride some dry basil leaves you could put them in the grinder and gride away! Once you open it up it is in very small flakes that could be used for many different...
Yep
Nice! I totally agree. Like I said before I didn't think that I would be able to take him on walks... and not holding him is fine.
The only issue is when I want to clean the cage and NEED to take him out.
I like the idea of having him walk to the food. I'll start doing that...
I was having the same issue
I went online and ordered 500 cickets and put them in a large plaster storage container. I put holes on the sides and duct taped screen on there so they would have air-flow. I put a bunch of egg crates and empty TP rolls with a bunch of food for them.
It works...
After his last shed a couple weeks ago he has been a complete grump! He is about 6 months old and each time I walk into the room he starts to hide from me. I hand feed him all the time had he has no problem with that but he REALLY dosn't like being picked up. I was trying to clean the cage...
I have a 6 month old Veiled named Rodney Dangerfield. He is doing great.
I was sick of going to the pet store a couple times a week so I ordered some crickets on-line. They came and were bigger than I thought.
I read that you don't want anything much bigger than his eyes are across...
Rodney Dangerfield, my almost 6 month old veiled, hates it when I put my hand in his cage. I hand feed him with at least one cricket each day and I only hold him every other day or so.
I've noticed he really doesn't like sudden movements. I'll sit by his cage for a long time and he...
I have a 5 month old Veiled. I've had him for a month now. Yesterday in Sacramento we had a 90+ degree day so I decided to take him outside for a bit.
I walked outside with him in my hand and as soon as he felt the sunshine he stopped squarming around. It looked like he really...
Rodney Dangerfield
My girlfriend and I just got our first Chameleon, a veiled. He is great. We named him Rodney Dangerfield becuase of his eyes and his grin. :)
We have had him for two weeks now and he is doing good. Only stressed out a couple times when we tried to hold him. Trying to...
