    Crickets keep dying

    Ah ok so the fresh veggies can take the place of quencher? I didn't know that, thanks. For gut loading I've been separating the few I'm going to feed him the night before, feeding them the monster-gut-load I was given when I was given the chameleon. But for keeping the other ones alive I...

    Crickets keep dying

    You change the water gel daily? oops I have not been doing this. If you don't use water gel, what do you use instead? I'm having cricket issues as well, I've switched to dubias temporarily for variety and they've been hardier lately.

    still free range

    Mr. Swyft is going to exercise all his weight off if he doesn't slow down and eat more. He has been shunning the dubias lately, I don't know what his deal is but he's assertively eating the superworms. The last few days we've had a storm roll in so I've been able to keep the temp down...

    Full circle didn't work

    Swyft was wary of the rope, and rightly so. I can't seem to get it taut enough to be safe for him so I took it down for now. Maybe bf can help me on his next visit. Swyft has been free range since Friday. His lights are set up for his plant area but now he has taken to hanging out on the...

    Yum Yum Dragon Fly

    Awww, I couldn't do it. Dragonflies and Praying Mantis I just can't bring myself to feed to Swyft. Too pretty!! An giant attack of grasshoppers killed my hibiscus, though, those are fair game, grrrr. Great pic!

    Full circle free range area

    I did it! I created a full circle around the room of climbing area for Swyft. He hasn't tried all of it out yet, he's been half way around several times and just today I finished the other half but he was too tired done exploring by the time I finished so I tucked him in bed instead. He was...

    Still learning

    So now I've learned that if Swyft was startled when I go to put him away the shock could be really bad for him. I'm trying to put him away earlier and earlier each time, watching to see when he gets "settled in" and thereby putting him back in the cage for the night. He's a tricky one. I am...

    HELP! what just happened?!

    Thanks for the info. If he falls asleep, do they stay asleep all night? I am usually awake in the morning to turn on his cage lights before he is awake, so if they sleep all night I could just leave him on the tree the days I don't get to him fast enough, rather than risk startling him. The...

    HELP! what just happened?!

    I don't know why the original poster was waking his up, nor why Silky wants to wake theirs up, but Swyft falls asleep on his free-range tree and I prefer to put him to bed in his cage before I go to bed myself. I have put him to bed at 9 p.m, moved it to 8 p.m, now sometimes he dozes off at...

    HELP! what just happened?!

    Wow. Um, I would take it to the vet. Like, immediately. But I am very, very new to chameleons so that would freak me out and I'd take it to a vet.

    New chameleon owner (Pictures + Set up)

    I would remove it until you find out its toxicity. Why risk it?

    my chams free range

    I've got the tree, lots of bridges and highways, but the room isn't foolproof safe yet. Among other things, the computer needs dealt with as twice now he has chosen to climb up the keyboard cord to check his email. The last thing I need is inappropriate chameleon web surfing.

    Planning the feeding

    I am really struggling with planning out his feeding. I ended up with over 20 superworms and nothing else. I think some dubias escaped as I found a dubia in the superworm house, hahaha! Oops! No clue how he managed that. I finally took a calendar and just wrote crickets, superworms on...

    New outside cage.

    Oooh pretty! I'd have to bike-chain it to my porch or someone would walk off with it I think. Its too nice! :)

    my chams free range

    Hahahhaa, this made me laugh because I'm dropping crickets and superworms and mine are still not free ranged and I'm cup feeding. EEEEK!! :D I'm SO CLOSE to free ranging! I'm making Swyft stay in his cage while I'm at work so he has his UVB and heat lamp, then by 4 p.m. I'm home and...

    2 nights in a row of handling!

    For two nights now I have put Swyft to bed at about 7:30 p.m., he has slowed down and perched but not fallen completely asleep. Both nights now he has let me use my hand to remove him from the tree!!! Just my hand, no stick, nothing else. YAYYYYYY!!!! HE IS TRUSTING ME! I don't plan to...

    If you give a mouse a cookie...Swyft will eat it.

    LOL oh! All of the above. I'm an avid reader, I work in a school district, I have kids, I have nieces and nephews, so in general I just know the book. Lately its been a running joke at work as well. (if you give a customer a cookie...LOL)
