I have had males that were not receptive, I think it comes down to the chameleons personality. Some males are just wimpy and refuse to mate. Try leaving them alone where they cannot sense you watching them. Chameleons act differently when there isn't a human around. Another option could be to...
Just buy some extra water at the store for emergencies, I think it can store for about 2-3 years. Check the expiration date. I don't think it can really go bad though. I mean in an emergency when the Apocalypse is upon us and your choices of water are crud-infested mud-water or expired bottled...
It was meant as sarcasm, directed at you. If you want to continue debating, we can move this to 4chan or Reddit, I think you would feel more comfortable in that type of a forum. This forum is about offering advice for chameleon care. I will stop with my posts here, it is unfair to the OP.
My...
I'm giving advice, if you disagree...deal with it. I hate to burst your bubble kid, but the forum is full of people with varying ideas. You know, I even heard that there actually people that don't have the same opinion as you...gasp...I am as shocked too.:eek:
I'm sorry my chameleons should...
The pics are pretty low res, I can't tell. From your description though, black marks can be bruising, they can also be burns. A clear pic is needed here.
Geez, its okay...if your convictions on the subject are so strong then just switch to a Jamaica field cricket. I mean, I can see why some people would be scared. I still know some people that think you can "catch the cancer" from hanging around someone with cancer. For a Densovirus to be able to...
Sorry to hear about the rats. I had a few kittens years ago that were mauled and chewed up by rats. They snuck into my garage through a tiny slit and went savage on my kittens that were only 2 months old. My dad gave me a pug and he had been my garage guardian for a long time. He would make...
A fast hands perk, haha. Really even with the quickest of hands, one is bound to escape. Keep them outside in a plastic bin. I use 24 gallon bins that I got at Target for like $5 on sale. Keep the crickets in a bin with an egg carton or two. When I need to feed my guys, I use a small cup that...
Oh man, the feeding is a real legit concern here. I hate to burst your bubble, but roaches and/or crickets area necessary staple food for the chameleons. Mealworms are not only fattening, but their chitin can cause impaction. Superworms, while nutritious, are not meant to be a staple food...
Hmm, a tough situation there. I don't know of any auto-feeder besides the cheapo exo-terra ones that are not really automatic. I would suggest having your friend go there once every 3 days and give your chameleon a load of crickets or dubia, maybe a double serving in a cup so that they won't...
Based on markings I believe it to be a male Veiled, although I have seen females with heavy banding. You can confirm this by checking the rear of the foot on the hind legs. If there is a tarsal bump or toe, then it is a male. If there is nothing, then it is a female. It could be 10 months, it...
What-evs. Ill let the space cadets toss around their fears all they want. I'm sure its productive. Ill leave it to you ladies and gents.
Just so you guys know, the whole study is based on a hypothesis that the viruses originated from the insects and not the other way around. If it so happens...
