Search results for query: reasons for screen climbing

Little ones love to screen climb! As they get older and gain weight, they will stop. The UVB is probably the most important thing right now so you are off to a great start. Just do what you can, when you can. As per the coconut chips, many pet stores don’t have up to date info on the care...

Welcome to the world of the Veiled Chameleon. They are munchers.

I like that you put him in a corner. That eliminates two windows where he could feel exposed and threatened. Maybe use some Velcro strips and attach some coroplast sheets so no water gets on your walls. I did it for $30.00 with the sheet from Home Depot. I think that’s the main issue...

I used to dump crickets in and let them do their thing. It turned out to be a mistake. Cleaning requirements drastically increase, to say the least. It's highly recommended on here to NOT let crickets roam. we usually runs cricket runs or screen feeders. I am using this screen feeder that...

These are all in the same so if you are wanting to let’s say offer a 7 at the screen. The animal isn’t getting the full picture as in heat, LUX,UVA and so on. The spectrum is incomplete so there in turn the animal with basic instincts does not understand that that light is only giving off high...

There’s a few things in here that give me pause, and lead me to believe you may have found outdated or incorrect husbandry info. When a chameleon closes its eyes during the day, it’s a sign of illness usually. When a veiled chameleon doesn’t want to eat, that’s a sign that something is going...

Hi! I am a first-time cham owner and have been struggling to find accurate info, I swear every question I ask has twelve different answers and the pet store owners are clueless, some cham breeders I met at a reptile expo all had different advice for me. Now Pascal, my cham, isn't acting herself...

Cage Info: Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? All of it it glass except for the top which is metal mesh and a piece of cardboard to keep it up so jalapeno won't burn himself. That doesn’t sound too safe. The lights can get really hot and I’d be...

I always check but they're usually mushy. I wait a bit anyway just in case I missed one that is actually a fly. He LOVES silkworms and will eat the mid sized and smaller, so going smaller might get him to eat a bit more volume. He also loves wax worms, luckily not as much. He has eaten crickets...

Thank you so much for all your amazing help! I'll take everything into account, I already removed the moss because of your recommendation, and I'll make sure to remove the lucky bean plant! Thank you so much! If you think of any more tips I'm all ears<3

I really only put my hands in when putting in and taking out food. His hornworms are the only thing I hand feed him. I put my hand in slow and after he eats it, I leave my hand in there for another few seconds, then take it out slowly. I always try and look away when he's eating. He has had to...

Update on this little guys name, it took me a while to land on a name but zuko just didn’t feel right for some reason. From now on he will be known as Luka😎

I have built trust with him, he barely gapes at me, he hand feeds and climbs on me as an elevator sometimes and other times he climbs on my head. I decided to leave him alone for a while so he would hopefully eat, but I got him out yesterday and he seemed to enjoy it as much as he can. I agree...

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for getting back to me so soon, I really appreciate it. :) I realized my error in supplementation and I was going to address this first by replacing the calcium I had, this to me was the most apparent issue at hand, and one that I know leads to health issues. I...

The barium was to lubricate his stomach, I assumed that’s what would be best, so they gave him some. His poops have been normal since, and his rates are even batter, so I am glad about that. I am not sure of the type of mold, but it was most likely because we used grapevine and the hygrometer...

WOAH. I didn't know about the moss thing but thank you so much for that😭😭 the tank I had came with some materials for an animal, including moss, so I put some at the bottom but I'll take that out now that I know! It has become clearer and clearer to me the breeder I got him from knew absolutely...

I mean if you can get him to reach for something. I dunno... The reason why I am asking for picture is that he would have to be screen climbing the top to get burns on his feet. Most mature males will not do this because they simply weigh too much to hold on to the screen upside down. So if it...

he latly has been on top but when i see it i hurry and get him down i dunno how much he ways but he is small for what age i think he is

She was receptive when I found her and acted insane for about 5-6 weeks before she calmed down. She's had a lay bin since the second week (I actually panicked thinking she might be eggbound and ran to the hardware store before it closed and then tried to carry the 55 lb bag of sand home🤦‍♀️)...

Hi and welcome. :) I haven’t read the thread - only the posts since your initial one. Please do not take any offense to what I am about to say, as I don’t mean any. Nor should you think I have anything but good intentions. I am wanting to help both you and your chameleon. While there are...
