Not sure how obesity plays a role in this. But they are most likely mis informed on care, and are not phased by the issues the cham has.
And Beating the kids? How does that relate in any way to the video?
Im not sure if its worth it to get a setup shipped out to you.
But i always find myself looking at garage sales, or even petco, when they have their "1.00 per gallon sale" which is definately cheaper than going out and buying them full price. Also, Craigslist, and Kijiji. I found my 12x12x12...
Due to unfortunate circumstances, i lost my last Pygmy bearded chameleon.
Im looking for a new one, but do not want to deal with shipping.
If anyone is close to the central Fl area, or FL in general, and is breeding/ selling these guys, i would love to give 1 or 2 of them a home.
If near, will...
an adult already?
this ones about an inch in a half.
i read they can reach almost 4 inches.
i think the pics are a bit decieving. ill do some research on them though.
thanks so much for all the help
Ok. thanks for the heads up
here are the pictures i promised :D
the cage has been changed a little.
no more background. and i added a few more sticks, and twigs.
but i havent majorly changed it so my cham doesnt get stressed.
and the cham :D
Aww. thanks.
im hoping for the best.
im probably going to wait a while before i get another one.
but i do plan on getting one in the future.
i hope my little gal lives a long time too.
i will post a few update pics of her in a few minutes.
i have to let camera charge
Well.
like i expected. the male didnt last.
he passed this morning.
his eyes were sunken in. and he was as thin as a toothpick.
this is so disheartening.it was weird because last night he drank some water.
and explored a bit. i was seeing improvement. but i guess i was wrong.
at least the...
Thanks for the response.
the larger one actually ate today :)
that was a good sign. i didnt see her catch it. but saw that she was chewing.
and biting down on a small cricket.
the male isnt to good. ive left him alone altogether. other than spraying and adding a cricket. although the ones in...
Well my larger of the two chameleons has been doing better.
i saw poop in the cage. so i know shes eating. the male on the other hand isnt doing to good. i moved him into a smaller cage with similar furnishings. im sure hes full of parasites. he refuses to eat. and barely drinks. i placed him...
Ok. thanks for the advice.
i feel much better. i know its hard to not do anything.
i feel like i cant do much. but ill just sit back and let them do their thing.
when i feed, should i let the crickets out? or in a cup, so i can count if any have been eaten. the females are as far away from...
I spray their cage for 5 mins 3 times a day.
and the other one drinks happily.
im worried about the skinnier one.
im not handling them so i dont stress them out.
but its skin and bones. and i think its super stressed out.
thanks for the advice though
Well ive had my two pygmy chams for 2 days.
i know they need to settle in. but i have a weaker one.
it was given to me in a trade. and i moved them into an acrylic atrium.
i have a gravid one. and a not so healthy one. ribs and hips are visible.
and shes looking weak :(
i dont want to lose...
Ok. thanks :D
i cant wait for her to lay. but waiting is going to kill me, lol.
ill post updates on how there doing.
the other female is skinny. but im hoping that tlc will cure the issue.
the other female is fat. and is on the move, she wanders the ground quite often.
its only been one...
the two chams. pics arent to good. but ill get more.
and their wonderful abode.
im going to add some vines tommorow.
