I want to share how chameleon forums have changed my chameleons life for the better! Below are pictures of before and after, in a period of 1 week how my cage has transformed.
Food:
Before:
just crickets with a huge dust of calcium:rolleyes:
tap water
After:
crickets, mealworms...
It is my christmas present from my boyfriend. A 50$-80$ vet visit, it will be ours and her first. I dont think there is anything wrong with her its just we want to make sure she is going to be happy and healthy. Will they touch her roughly? Will they inject her with anything? I might have to be...
What is it like the first time you go to the vet for your chameleon?
What should I expect? What will I tansport Molly in? Will I be worried about how the vet is handling her?
Thank you for the reasoning. I appreciate the help. I removed the smaller UVB and left the other 2 big ones . I also turned on the side clamp light. She didnt wake up during all of the comotion and shes also sleeping upsidedown LOL! i dont know how or why she got into that sleeping position. Its...
This is tricky also because the size of the cage. Remember it is 6 feet tall, and 4 feet wide and 3 feet from front to back. By that i mean, one 18 inch bulb and 1 basking light in the same area covers 1.5 of 4 feet. That is a little under 1/3 of the cage. The temperature of the cage with all of...
well....considering she needs to be within 12 inches of the light to get the rays, it was also suggested by the owner of a store that specializes in rare chameleons that she'll need at least 2 side by side UVB's in a cage that is 6 ft. He said that there is no way she was getting enough with...
Ok, so like i said before, im no expert. BUT! i found this stuff that zoomed makes that is called "REPTISAFE". It is a blue solution that conditions water for your reptiles. It was only like 5$ and i use about 15 drops per day. It saves a lot of time!!!
ALSO!!!

Should I keep the side clamp light?
There are 2X 24 inch (8.0- reptisun/10.0-reptisun) and one 18 inch (5.0 reptisun) on the top of the enclosure. The humidity remains 50% because of the 3 ficus, spider plant, hibiscus and 2 other pothos plants. The temperature reads 70-73 at the top. What...
OK so i'm back and i bought $80 worth of folliage...including some huge ficus plants perfect for my huge enclosure-also i have expert gardener organic soil to repot the plants, at the petstore i bought a zoomed repti-sun bulb that has a warning about UV rays which makes me feel a little more...
Thank you all again. I have had it for about 3 weeks now and i guess you could say i am a little attached, especially when i see it sleeping it that adorable position. So, here is the shopping list for today...
TUBE UVB bulb(preferably zoomed)
Vitamin supplement(preferably zoocal, zoomed)...
I am no expert at all but what i have heard is that chorine and other mineral in human tap water is bad for chams. Apparently you are suppose to use distilled water, which, you can either buy at stores or boil your own tap water. Distilled water is to be used on the drip system and the misting...
Thank you all so much!
However, there are a few more questions now there is a hint that it...she is a female.
Q1: I've head more than 5 crickets for an female could be potentially hazardous to her, due to eggs?
Q2: I have a huge pan of sand for her when its about that time, Some say that...
And just in case u guys didnt get enought of the backfoot
I gave it a "mist shower" after these, it helped a little.
Also, yeah, thats duck tape in the cage.It is a preliminary safety step i took before i moved "it" in. I didnt want "it" to hurt itself climbing on the cage, although it...
I am extremely thankful to anyone who replies!
I recently got a new veiled chameleon.
- I got it from a pet store, yes i know shame on me, but i had no idea what i was getting into and now that ive invested my rent money and entire life savings theres no going back
-The store had "male" on...
