When I first go Pi, I was buying her food from a popular chain pet store, but the distance was a bit of a pain, so I looked for a local place that might be a little bit closer and I'll be darned, I found one that was pretty close. They had all the supplies you could ever need for any reptile or...
Congrats on getting new babies soon! By three jobs I assume you mean employment? Might wanna' make sure you have some finances in order to spend on these little guys. :D
I'd suggest if you're getting a "pair", then you need two different enclosures. From what I hear, they don't do well together and will constantly be stressed, which isn't good for any animal. If this is your first cham, I suggest getting one so you learn how to take care of them, what the...
Complete cage cleaning.
I'd say every few weeks ago, I do a complete cleaning of Pi's cage. Clean carpet (her 'mess' is picked up every day though), rearrange sticks, vines, even get new ones to replace the older sticks.
Although to do this, I feel it's safer to remove her as I do all this...
Yeah, I tried that and she just turned away from me and started heading the other way. It's been two or three days now. Any time I should start worrying?
Thanks for the tip.
I like when they try to decide whether or not to move. They put one foot forward then start to put the other one forward, but move it back and forth. I'm sure there's reason to that but it's still funny.
When I first got my baby, she would walk on top of the inside of the cage, so she was...
My chameleon just experienced her first shedding. Since then (and during) her mood has changed. She's been much more avoidance. I don't handle her often (unless I HAVE to) since she's so young but usually when I stick my hand in to feed her or something of that nature, she doesn't back away, and...
Gosh, I can imagine the heartbreak you must be feeling right now. I'm starting to leave my chams cage open while I'm in the room, I left for a minute to attend to something and I thought she had escaped. After frantically searching, I realized she was just hiding deep in the leaves where I had...
I searched for threads before this one, but I found one from 2007, and didn't want to bump that one.
Situation: I came in to see my chameleon with her mouth gaping. There was no one/nothing else in the room to pose a threat, so (I'm assuming) it wasn't a threat determent.
I've read maybe...
She's so camera shy! Every time I try to get a picture she turns away, like she's trying to hide an embarrassing mole or something. I'll try again to get a picture.
Maybe he doesn't like being handled after he eats?
I assume like any other creature they get curious. Maybe he wanted to have a look around the world outside of the cage. ;p
Pi is about just over a month old now and she has this black spot on her. Thing is, she's had it since I got her and I figured the people that had her previously just didn't take care of their animals.
Now it still hasn't gone away or gotten any better. I know they can get fleas or ticks, but...
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I think you should just spoil your baby rotten. With all that you have going on, you don't want your chameleons to become a chore rather than something to enjoy.
He's adorable! He looks almost exactly like my little girl. The last picture made me laugh, I love their eyes. The first picture looks so pro. :D
Let us know when he gets a name.
It does get humid and muggy sometimes. Recently in my area we had 3 straight days of rain. But most of the time, if you like sunny weather, that's what you'll get.
