Hey all! I can't believe how quickly my boy Ryu is growing. This is a picture of him at 2.5, 3.5, and 5.5 months (we missed his 4.5 mo pic :/) I think his colors are coming in quite nicely. His head is frequently a very whiteish color (kinda visible in the last picture) and it also gets...
Sooooo.... not that I would ever dream of ordering Dubia to ship to FL, But my ummmm "friend" ordered some a couple of months ago and "his" chameleon just started taking a liking to them recently (and has lost all interest in crickets). My "friend" can't remember where he ordered them from...
My boy Ryu started shedding the day before yesterday (actually I could see a couple of spots of cracking skin the day before that, but 2 days ago was when he went into full shed)
Normally he sheds pretty much completely in one day with maybe a little bit left on his tail or feet that he...
My girlfirend and I just spent and hour and a half tediously combing through and pruning our veiled chameleon's Benjamin Ficus. The reason? I found a cluster of small (roughly flea sized) bugs on one of the leaves.
After some impressive Google-fu by my girlfriend we identified the tiny...
Chameleon Info:
-Your Chameleon - 4.5 month old male veiled, I've had him about 2.5 months
-Handling - I only handle him about once a month long enough to take him out and put him in his small temporary enclousure for an hour while I fully clean his normal enclosure
-Feeding - He eats...
So, we've decided that a cricket colony is in our best interest. I've read the how-to's on breeding them but still have a couple of questions. I have my main colony in a huge bin... I separated out 25 females and 5 males into a smaller bin for breeding, I put a dish with an inch of moist...
Hey there, this morning my male veiled (almost 5 mo old) had an unusally large bowel movement. The feces was much larger than normal, other than that it looked perfectly normal. It was well formed with normal color and such.
The urates however looked abnormal. It was very watery. It was...
I'm sitting in my Chams room reading near his cage right now, I looked up to see what he was doing and he did something that looked exactly like yawning. He tilted his head back slightly, opened his mouth as wide as it would go for a second, and then closed it. I've never seen him do this...
Okay, so my veiled is almost 4 months old, I've had him for nearly two months. For the first month he ate a moderate amount. Maybe 5-12 1/4 to 1/2 inch crickets per day. Over the past couple of weeks though, that number has been revving up. All of his crickets are about a 1/2 inch now and he...
Hey folks, I want to start introducing the occasional hornworm into my veiled's diet. He is just shy of 4 months old and he is an extremely healthy eater. He eats 15-20 1/2" gut loaded crickets per day and is growing like a weed. He also eats the occasional meal worm and wax worm. We should be...
I have a male veiled (Ryu) he is almost 4 months old now. I currently have him eating almost exclusively 1/2 crickets (feeding them potatoes, radishes, celery, and bug burger) he also gets some meal worms on occasion, and the rare wax worm. I gave him a little mango the other day which he...
This is our boy Ryu. We've had him for a little over a month now and I absolutely can not believe how much he's grown. The composition shot was taken exactly 1 month apart (2.5 months and 3.5 months old).
His dad (Driskel at FLChams) is the biggest veiled I've ever seen and with one of the...
My baby veiled, Ryu, was very dark in color this morning before I left for work and the skin around his mouth and feet was white. I assume he is starting to shed. I've never been through shedding before so I just want to know that to expect, what is normal behavior and what is cause for...
Hey, I've got a 2 month old male veiled that I've had for about a week now. He appears to be very healthy. He is in a 54" x 24" x 24" enclosure with 1/4" mesh sides and a real ficus, he has a reptisun 10.0 uvb light, and an incandescent heat lamp, as well as a mist king automatic misting...
