Yes, shortly after that post and this morning I looked and have it set for almost 30 seconds spray time and close to the every 4 hours mark. Humidity was around 70% earlier right around when it sprayed again. Saw it at 90% as well today. I have plans in my head for building a bigger cage when...
I have used the toilet paper/paper towel roll in the past, and they chewed up the roll. That was a while ago and maybe before I fed them oranges, but it does work. Also, I got 1/2 in crickets...but are a mixed box, so I have to hand pick them since he is still fairly small. There are some big...
So far, mine has missed the plant, then again, it is small and centered away from the perches. Only issue was today when I went to dump the water from the drip catching dish, he bombed that with a floater so had to take it out and wash it well. I also have large river rocks in my schefflera in...
If by catching you mean outside, be careful pesticides they might bring with them. If you mean in a keeper tank, I think we all know the feeling. I try to get some of the smaller ones every morning, grabbing individuals by hand. You can also use a small amount of mealworms a week, since they...
I can only hope Fingolfin turns out like this. I did finally see him nail a mealie again today, but didn't eat it til I left the room and hid outside the doorway. Was going to give him another but the mister kicked on and he went for some cover then.
Sorry to hear about this, I would be pretty upset as well, if I were in your shoes. All the time I spent researching and getting stuff ready for him/her and dead in hours.
I have it going off about every 3 hours or a bit more for over 20 seconds spray. It really mists nicely. My setup isn't as nice as some here. It looks better now and I do leave the feeder cup in and usually refill it when I come home. I take out what is left before or gingerly after the...
I got him to eat one today, following some of the info on the taming blog. I did some re-arranging of vines in his tank today. I came home from work, he didn't touch the mealies and ate all the crickets, I twisted up the small and large jungle vines I have and also bought a grapewood or...
My guy did sleep the first day I brought him home, he had one hell of a day and was sleeping at like 3 or 4pm in a hiding spot. I figured it was becuase his day was hectic, and haven't seen him sleeping like that again, goes to bed at times around 8 pm, the lights go out at 9pm.
I have looked at the care sheet, and I found a place that had some yesterday. I have to return my habamister since it is like a squirt gun instead of a mister. I have been gutloading cor years with the beardies as well. I gave him a few mealies in a shallow dish, and some crickets in another...
I gave my lil guy some mealies and he really wasn't interested, then again I did have them lower in the cage, but I will try up where I usually stick the feed cups. I also tried waxworms and saw him with one in his mouth but I put only 5 in and 5 were left, so he either didn't like it or spit...
Also, for veiled juvies, should I use the calcium with d3 every other day or use the without d3 every day? I have been looking for the without and several places are out or don't carry it. I will be going to a place that has it tomorrow. I have heard/read for juvi veileds either way, feed...
Thanks, I kinda thought it would take awhile. I try to move slower when getting the cup in and out, especially in the morning before the lights come on to put the cup in with crickets since I start work at 7 am. I gingerly open and set the cup in, trying not to wake him. I did see some...
Mine is probably about three months old (look at avitar) he feeds from the cup and usually goes on top of the hanging plasitc plants, the highest perch in the cage, or he hides in them and comes back out to check the cups. I use a 2lb clear deli salad container. I'll get a pic tomorrow for...
Calciworms look just like waxworms. Are they the same, just gutloaded? I was looking at some today, I hit petco looking to see if they had any calcuim without d3 and they didn't and looked at the calciworms. Maybe the one down the street from where I work might, will have to hit there on the...
I'm not sure of a link but books wise: older but was good, Essential care of chameleons by Philippe de Vosjoli; Chameleons care and breeding of Jackson's, Panther, Veiled and Parson's by Gary Ferguson, Kenneth Kalisch, and Sean McKeown; Chameleons in captivity by Conni Dorval.
Hey all, been posting here for about a day now, and should have hit here first. I got a juv male veiled over a week ago he is probably about a month or two old. He is only eating when I leave the room, I have caught him angled toward the feeder cup/dish, and other times he has stopped running...
No idea on the breeding thing, but just a guess, perhaps once rejected by a female, that is it. He may remember her anyway and not want anything to do with her. I have done no reading/research on breeding so that is just a guess. I skipped that stuff for now becuase I have little interest in...
