I kept having the same problem with our walls too. I went to the store and bought a cheap clear shower curtain. Our cage sits in a corner, so I covered only the two sides that touch the wall. I attached the shower curtain to the outside of the cage with zip ties and tucked the bottom part of...
Heika - "There is no way to keep these little bugs from invading even the cages, and I have seen some of the chameleons shoot one.. and then promptly spit it back out."
My family used to live in Washington and we would always see the box elder bugs everywhere. These little buggers would...
1. Go to the website www.raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.com. It has all the information you will need for raising a veiled chameleon.
2. Pet stores are not really the best place for purchasing chameleons. Try a breeder such as one of the website's sponsors. A breeder has tons more...
My green iguana loves dandelion as a treat with his/her other greens. Anything I feed to my iguana, I simply toss in my cricket container and they munch away. Iguanas have a very healthy diet filled with lots of calcium and other vitamins. It is very convenient not to have to but separate...
I am dying to go and am asking everyone to give me money for Christmas this year. I have my heart set on getting my first panther. Can't wait :rolleyes:
This contest had me laughing so hard at my desk that it confused my boss. He was like "what's so funny" and I said "nothing" giggle giggle. I love to laugh and the entries were all very creative and it was very hard to choose a favorite. Overall, an awesome theme :D.
More Pics...Yeah!
I couldn't resist adding some pictures of my sweet little iggy as well. He/she is about 7 months old and named Delano. I am leaning towards a female, but it is way too soon to tell. Gosh I love my kids :D
Some Pictures of Buddy
In the second picture you can really so how much Buddy's puckered lips have improved. He had a really bad case of mouth rot and his lips were always open. He has, in my opinion, fully recovered from his terrible case of MBD as well. Now, I see nothing but improvements...
I live in an apartment as well and it is very very small. Space is very important and I wanted my stand to be the same size as my cage to save space. I bought a cheap laundry tub from Lowe's and cut holes in it to zip tie my cage onto. My 2'x2'4' cage from LLLReptile fits perfectly on top of...
ToniandGizmo - "I turn my chams basking light off first. It begins to cool the cage down and also signals him that it's time to find a sleeping place."
I do the exact same thing with both my chameleon and my iguana. It lets them know it is time to go to sleep and takes away the shock of all...
Watch out for that lip pucker! My male veiled developed a pucker just after I took him to the vet for MBD. On my next trip to the vet, I found out he had mouth rot and a bad case of it too. Months later, his mouth is still a bit puckered but thanks to medication is no longer infected. You...
Is he totally laid back like the second photo shows or a mean little bugger like the first photo? I love the way the second photo almost looks like he is smiling for the camera "Cheeeese".
In the bedroom - a 2'x2'x3' glass cage with a juvenile iguana. My little baby is growing like a weed and has pretty much outgrown its current cage. I hope to have a backyard one day, dream on right (I live in SoCal in a one bedroom apartment)?
In the living room - One eight-month-old male...
1. My new custom cage with a drainage system (so much easier than setting up a cup everyday to collect water)
2. My home-made cricket keeper that makes cleaning up after dirty little crickets that much easier
3. My hubby for giving my little Buddy his medication for me every night. I gave...
I'm not sure about feeding for juvi's, but aren't wax worms very high in fat content? Should they be fed everyday? I was under the impression that they should be used as a weekly treat. Someone else chime in on this please :)
My apartment in SoCal charges a pet deposit for cats only ($300!). My manager was more fascinated with my juvenile iguana than worried about it when I moved in. Now, I have added my juvenile male veiled to my collection and the fascination just grows. My 2'x2'x5' cage is setup in my tiny...
