this CAN happen a lot with OTHER reptiles. i've seen this on a few seperate occassions with water dragons and iguanas. the problem is, these other reptiles are fast, they like to run, and they will keep running and running even if they arent going anywhere. i've never seen this in a case with a...
thank you so much guys for your awsome comments. she is realy is my beautiful little girl. and she has always, and keeps on shinning a neon green colour. she looks like a green leopard at times!
thank you, and yes she does. she never gets mad or stressed, but i wanted some pictures of different colours, and ive never had a hissing pic from her before, so one time wont hurt.
haha thanks carol, i know, i call her a slothmeleon sometimes :rolleyes:
i'm sorry to say, but no enclosure tends to be big enough for two in captivity. some chams have been able to do that, but it is always advised never to do this. 4 months old enough to claim territory and in my beliefes, should be seperated as soon as they reach juvenile age, around 2.5-3 months...
i've built 3 wood cages before brad, one 2x3x4 and two 2x2x4. ive also built matching stands, and when you're all finished the project, and everything is in perfect working order, it looks nice and it is holding up your chams great and your chams love it, then it surely pays off. its a longer...

It is very important to have the new habitat cage set up with all of its husbandry settings where the need to be BEFORE you buy the animal. Making sure the cage is sufficient enough, and all of the temperatures are set right is a must do. Getting a chameleon cage set up...
so i am on this facebook forum for herp keepers in my city and it's district. There is a person on there who has just recently gotten a chameleon, and because of my interest and pics, more people are getting interested, which i dont think is a good thing lol. anyways, i took it upon myself to...
as long as they are cleaned regularly, they are great for glass tanks with ventalation. pygmy enclosures is what it could be used best for, its leaning towards a waste of money if being used for screen cages. it has settings from low to high, you wouldnt want it anywhere past half point for...
for bigger cages like this, and from experience before, you are going to get extreamly tired of hand spraying a cage that big. you need to mist the whole thing down to get your humidity levels up and stay up for a little bit. i suggest you do get an automisting system. as far as live plants...
i did have a 5g painters bucket filled half way with play sand, but that started to flood with the mister. i now just have a 3g in the same diameter as the 5g filled to the top with playsand, in the back of her cage hidden from all sides by plants for privacy
500 is a pretty large amount in my opinion, you dont want to feed mealworms too often, or have it as a staple food for that matter. but they will last quite a long time refrigerated. im not sure about minimeal worms, but mealworms are harder and too much can cause impaction, they are also a...
LLLReptiles actually has an awsome deal for a pair of juvenile veileds. if you raise your female up correctly, you can totaly avoid an infertile clutch or reduce an infertile clutch to a very small one, then with experience with raising them to adults, you will be able to breed them! just my...
i cannot choose for you, find a chameleon that fits your budget and fits your personality. or just look at different chameleons of a specific species you're interested in. ambanjas and ambilobes are popular for first timers, but it is a locale that is more popular in petstores and pet trades, or...
