Don't give up hope on all chams! I had a veiled that hated me for no reason (except when he was really ill one time and didn't have the energy to be a brat). That was 9 years ago and after he died I took a break from chameleons because I thought they were going to be friendlier. Well I got a...
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you posted this though. I didn't realize this was such a big problem! I might also have to rethink having my chams outside :( I'm not sure if you will be wanting another cham soon or your location, but I have a female Jackson that I'm trying to find a home...
Alternate and hand feed
I've noticed with my Panther that he doesn't like just silkworms. I have a glass bowl that curves in at the top that keeps crickets from escaping (along with a couple breadcrumbs in the bottom) and I keep crickets in there all the time. In addition to that I give him a...
Thank you for replying. When I got her back in February she had been kept in a habitat with 2 other larger chameleons and she was tiny and terrified. I immediately separated them and she started putting on weight. When she was housed with the other chams she was either dark, hunter green (almost...
Thank you for the reply. I'm not going to panic quite yet, but I seem to be hyper aware of every hour they've been alive. Hopefully, as I get more experience I won't be as nervous with newborns. First clutch and all :)
Does anyone know what subspecies this is? I think she's a female Jackson's, but her colors are wrong for the Jackson's that I see everywhere. When calm she is grey/pink with orange and when she's mad she's purple/red....?
I had a litter of chameleon's born 48 hours ago from my female Jackson's. She was bred by her previous owner (on purpose) at way too young of an age (imo) so she isn't very big. She gave birth to 23 babies. Luckily, I found them right after being born and was able to help those that didn't drop...
Update 3/14 3 pm
Thank you for the feedback so far. I have gotten the temps down about 5 degrees over all. I'm using gauges on the side of the cage in several places to take temp and humidity. I switched my mister to go off for a couple minutes ever 8 hours. I will adjust that as needed to make...
I got a male, juvenile Jackson's chameleon on Tuesday morning. He came from FLChams in Florida. He seemed fine on Tuesday. Was exploring his terrarium and ate a couple crickets. Yesterday though he started seeming lethargic and today he has slept pretty much the whole day and not eaten. He did...
