10 months, sleepy =)
This is sniper. I hoped he would be more like his sir frank jr. but I really like his colors at 10 months. He only shows them off while sleeping right now. I havent been able to get him to fire up while awake. He maybe waiting for the right girl ;P this is him when I woke...
tong feeding is hard. take your time and be prepared to be very still and slow with moving. cup feeding is IMO easier becuase they see about 15 crickets scrambling in the bottom of a cup they go nuts.
well in the mornings my chams yawn. its pretty cute. but from what im told when they gap they are thermoregulating. Maybe try a lower wattage bulb? and are you keeping the red bulb on at night?
I was told it was a no no becuase the dont grow back. if im wrong please let me know oh my chameleon forums great ones. I never asked becuase I assumed that was the answer
Poor girl most def has MBD. I would first take her to the vet and have her tested for parasites. They will prescribe any medicine needed. What i do when i dust is take a little pinch full and put it in a cup. Then in goes the feeders like crickets, dubia, or worms. then i shake it all around so...
first things first. red light 24 hours doesnt need to be on at night if your house doesnt drop below 70. the color red seems to stress some chameleons out. *edit* Also if the turtles heat lamp is on and its a accross the room it should NOT bother him. the darker the better but I have a space...
this is the only way I was tought how to get my chams to open up with out force. cradle the back of his neck with your thumb and finger. he will gap just becuase he doesnt want to be eaten. doesnt hurt them or cause harm. my vet tought me so im not to sure if I have the right to eplain to...
I use photo bucket. its what i use to post on here =)
If you are talking about what i think you are talking about.
I do the same thing!
my box turtles paint(slide) on canvas with paint on it and they creat their own art!
i do the same thing with my chameleon sniper. he walks all over it...
he is fine. He fell asleep on his free range the other night and I woke him up to move back into his cage. he was so pretty I stopped to take a pic. He looks like that because I woke him up from his beauty sleep, and it was really bright in the bathroom haha. With his weekly shower and his 6 two...
My panther only uses his tounge when a branch wont reach the feeder. other than that he walks up to it and from about two inches shoots his tongue. when the feeder is way up in the corner he will use his tongue to full lenghts. my cham is perfectly happy and healthy according to my vet. he is...
dont feel bad! In my experince with my female veiled the marks like yours has whent away. I am no vet for sure but just sharing what happen in my case.
Thanks you two. steve has so many different color variations. when he is free range sleeping he is white as a ghost. in the show he is white with red and white stripes. When he is in his cage he sleep with this crazy urban/navy camo scheme.
I love sniper. His personality is so calm and...

like others say we are not experts but I think you will need a wider cage in the next 3-5 months the heat lamp is a little much. in a cage that size depending what the ambient temp in your house is, a 60watt-75watt bulb would be fine for direct heat. you might want to run mesh across the top of...
