Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? Zens hybrid 2 by 2 by 4 Very nice. I hope it helps with your humidity issues.
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? I follow typical ambient...
Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care?
Female veiled- (Milagros-Millie) made the cardinal sin of buying from petco. At time of purchase (late Sep) she was labeled 7 months I got my girl Stella from a Petco in a time of weakness and have...
Very nice! As the weather warms up, you may want to start scavenging for some natural branches to add in. It’s ideal to have a variety of diameters for your chams to better be able to exercise their feet and leg muscles. They don’t need to be able to fully wrap their feet around in order to have...
^^^ 100%! I would suggest doing a full husbandry review and see if we can maybe find a reason that your chameleon has stopped using his tongue. If there is a problem, things will only worsen for your cham if they go unidentified and corrected. What uvb did you ever end up getting? Can you post...
Have you tried https://framschams.com/ for silkies? Or https://www.coastalsilkworms.com/silkworms.html and https://www.lindasgonebuggie.com/page/397479218 although I think both are currently out. Josh’s frogs is another place for good feeders.
You can definitely feed the silk moths to your...
I should add - both of my panther boys are ‘friendly’ and almost always will come out onto my hand when I open their enclosures. However, every now and then for no discernible reason they will fire up and karate pose like they don’t know me or are scared of me. 🤷♀️
I haven’t heard of nor witnessed jumping without cause. When feeling threatened or very stressed, they will jump/fall as a last ditch attempt to escape the threat. A couple of mine have done that while walking thru the house to take them outside. (I rarely take them out as a result). They do...
I most definitely would use only safe (veiled tested) plants with your veiled girl, since veileds do eat their plants. Panthers are much safer to use silk plants with, if you must.
I don’t sterilize my natural branches. I do give them a wash and gentle scrub with Dawn dish soap to get bird and...
Of course we need to give our critters some holiday treats! I didn’t have hornworms and I’m waiting for some baby bugs to get big enough, so most got superworms or another appropriate yummy.
Thanks @Motherlode Chameleon and @Carlton for your feedback. I’m really hoping it is a cyst or something fixable. The almost eroded-looking appearance of the surface has made me quite nervous. My beloved Dr Bogoslavsky recently retired and I just don’t have the same faith in the other Orlando...
