Title basically says it all. Any reasons why this could be? is he just getting old now? nothing changed. First his tongue stopped shooting out (maybe he needs viagra? :P) now he misses everything and he's just moving really slow and seems to be losing weight.
First off i'm going to tell you the details of my cage
-100w Incandescent light bulb for basking (85f) (75f ambient temp)
-reptisun uvb tube 5.0 zoo-med
-2x2x4 screen cage
-little dripper (constant drip) I mist once in the morning and at night
-carrot gut loaded crickets/dusted with...
Urgeant!
Nothing has really changed from when I first got him back in march. He had a great appetite and now he rarely eats and always wants out. He always poops at his basking spot too.He doesn't seem as strong as he was and i'm just really worried about him.
Your Chameleon - The species...
So I bought my veiled a 2x2x4 cage and right now im using his old basking light fixture and I was just wondering if now that the cage is bigger should I get him a bigger fixture?
don't worry I am using a bigger uvb tube too.
I had a hibiscus in my chameleon cage and it was practically dead...now that I've moved it outside its growing back fuller than before.
Is there something wrong with my uvb??
my first guess would be he's outgrown his cage.. everything else is fine
before I go and buy him a bigger cage right away I want to know what's a decent size cage for him at an adult size.
here are some pictures of him in his cage...he's always trying to get out and he goes around in each...
My veiled cham is growing so fast that I already need to buy a bigger vivarium for him. Just had one question that I think I already know the answer to. I know he needs a screen cage...but how bad would it be if I bought him a glass enclosure? I figured if I bought a glass one I could re use it...
my veiled chameleon's stomach has turned white! I always noticed it was a lighter shade of green and now I don't know what to do! his mouth is open like he's going to vomit. I fed him boiled mushed up carrots earlier today.
I think my exo terra thermometer might not be working. The tempt is right but the humidity part is definitely not. It will shoot up to 50% when I play around with it, then drop right back down to 16% which I know is not true at all.
Any way I can fix this without buying a new one? it it just...
I have geraniums outside and I was thinking of putting my veiled in just for when outside.
There are no pesticides on it or thorns. How bad would it be if I did? I'm not leaving him in it or putting ghim in it all the time.
I have no real plants or anything growing in my cage but it seems like they hang around it and near my baby veiled's uv light. I've only got a few fake plants...vines and some of that moss carpet at the bottom...alos noticed some small black bugs but im not sure if they came from inside the cage?
