As we all know feeders cost, also take a lot of work now that many of us are getting into warmer weather what do people do to perhaps offer more variety or supplemental feeding options?
I was thinking of collecting native pill bugs/wood lice/ isopods..
Collecting or setting up a FF culture...
I know there is a bunch of factors, but how quick of a response do you see to improved husbandry, or CA supplementation in the Adult MBD issues related to neurological/muscle symptoms.. Tounge, grabbing legs, wobbly gait??
Hello.. I like to put the word out the Salem NH petsmart has a good sized adult WC Male Jackson up for adoption..
I take the handsome fella myself, Yes I work there.. but do not have the resources or space, to add another cham of a different species I currently have.. sigh..
He does...
I started with a enclosure, set It up, was doing well, but then added the trio, and lost a few plants :( no sign of isopod acivity sadly, but TONS of springtails :)
Anyhow also noted the girls seemed really happy but he male was spending a bit of time at the top of the cage.. perhaps just...
I am curious, yes shedding issues can be a humidity issue, but how about a indication on overall health?
So why I ask a observation..
I have a three year old cham.. Veild.. Before I noted some changes in weight and activity.. and appetite.. he stopped shedding large sheets like he did as...
With summer coming and a constant battle on these guys in my tomato garden.. Who figured I want them LOL
"IF" one finds the eggs, hatches them out and does not feed them tomato, but pepper.. or commercial food.. is it safe to feed them off?
Figured I ask.. buggers take a toll on my...
I have a trio of bearded pigmy's, WC and just arrived.. two weeks, settling in.. however..
SO I have a question.. I have seen the male chase down each female, try to mate.. get tossed off.. so breeding in these guys is either, very quick, I am guessing they are not receptive, As he is...
Adult WC Cham, received with a really swollen area on leg..
This is not my own animal, one at work and I am frustrated!
Vet felt was a abscess, sedated lanced no fluid.. took culture.. eating well, doing well urrates nice and white..
Dispensed antibiotics.... Culture came back neg...
Ok, Only three gallons, but thinking it may be a good recovery/isolation cage for the girls after laying to let them recover.. So they wont get pestered to quickly by the male..
Or at least a ""possible" baby grow out cage.. THIS IS FOR PIGMY CHAMS :) Just in case someone does not...
OK I was pretty darn careful with plant processing or so I thought.. but discovered some slugs in my Pigmy viv..
So question.. as they must have been introduced by something stupid, (me)
other than doing some damage to the plants, any issues if they get eaten by the pigmys? I...
OK I know chams really don't change color to match their environment..
BUT is this true for all species??
I have noticed with my pigmy chams.. not just the usual color changes.. But really looks very suspicious that they are matching the background..
Also noted, they develop a little...
Well thanks to Melissa.. as I wait and struggle with a order, possible been screwed issue..
Placed a backup order yesterday.. With a vendor she had luck with and just got some.. yup.. They came in the mail today.. been a month on my other order :) still nothing shipped..
So happy...
Ok I have tried a search and not having luck, think I am using the wrong terms..
What is the gestation length on Brevs.. Gestation length = Time where they are receptive are bred and when to expect them to be laying?
Do brevs retain sperm? Is there a timeline where one can be somewhat...
WC animals.. breeding records
So how long in captivity before one can be sure your female clutch is sired by your male? Is there a specific clean out timeline? Number of clutches? or the first clutch always a unknown sire? I believe some species can retain sperm.. is there a general...
Still waiting on my Trio.. So talk about cart before the horse, situation :)
however, as this is going to be a trial possible breeding project I like to find out who has Bearded pigmys and if there is any trading of offspring going on?
I ask as I choose pigmys as They are charming little...
I am curious.. place a order online, pay via pay pal.. at what point does some things become a concern??
as pay pal only has a limited buyer protection.. just curious what communications or not are kind of standard?
heck may make a good sticky.. or more of a expand on what is already on...
OK I feed raw but also on some days a dehydrated premix food to my dogs,
So looking at this, seems like may make a decent dry gutload - perhaps not super cheap but I have it.. To be honest, its would not be anywhere as expensive say as bug burger... or perhaps used with Bug burger...
As not everyone has access or info on what reptile vets may be good or heck experienced with Chameleons, thought may be good to make a sticky on what to expect on a CHAMELEON vet visit? Both Normal healthy check over, to when ill examples?
I ask as it may be helpful to have a idea of kind...
as I am between reptile vets at the moment.. did a fecal, and need to worm (first positive I had)
how do vets normally dispense panacure? powder? liquid? then how do they normally give it, force fed or inside a feeder? just curious..
I don't need dose, form.. but like some feedback as to...
As it seems in the glass, after a month of monitoring and such.. low humidity due to winter.. To keep humidity up, I need to spray more often.. problem is, this also adds a lot of extra water to the cage.. Not swamp or mud but very very moist substrate..
It a exoterra cage, drainage layer...
