Hello:
Due to the nature of what I do, I come in contact with a lot of parents who see my reptiles and say "Ooooh, he is so cute! I want one for my child!" I decided to make a hand-out with questions they should ask themselves first as something I can give them. I have seen a lot of sad cases...
I am wondering what is the best way to transport our Veiled Cham. There will be times we will need to transport her for vet visits or other reasons. Obviously it is not practical to transport her in her 3 x 4 foot enclosure. Does someone have any ideas on how to set up a chameleon version of...
Wow! Thank you a bunch. I did not think they were great. I just wondered if there were some innovations on it recently because the pet stores seem to really be pushing these rather tan the long tubes.
We are designing a new enclosure for our new adult veiled girlie. She came with one that is ok, but we want something a bit better for her. Right now the walls are wood and window mesh. The top is 1/2 inch metal mesh. Everything is attached to the top mesh which I find very limiting.
I am...
I would love to switch to roaches, but they are illegal in Canada.
Ok, I will dust the supers. I just always worry, because the supers seem to have this Teflon-like covering, that she is not getting enough.
I did adjust the container a bit, so I will see if that makes a difference. Maybe...
Hello.
I am wondering if a mixture of hornworms, silkworms (I breed my own so have an almost endless supply), butterworms (she is not too keen on these), and superworms with gutloading the superworms is enough calcium for an adult veiled female who does lay eggs, or is it still best to give...
I put a nice plant into her enclosure, but of course she is pooping on it. Is there a magical mystical way of removing the poop without damaging the plant and going leaf...by leaf...by leaf?
Thank you. We have other reptiles so I know all about lights, feeding, humidity, temps, gutloading, etc. I breed my own silkworm. But just like any new critter, there is a definite learning curve, and this one just happened to be at a much steeper angle. This is our first cham and the...
Our newly adopted veiled laid her eggs yesterday. We thought she was finished, but this morning we found her sleeping in her vines and apparently she loved her last egg so much, she did not want to let it go. :D
She laid 40 all together.
She was the only one, so there will be no fertile eggs. She laid 40 eggs all together.
She did take two medium size hornworms today and a superworm. Is that a good start for food the day after laying? I also put a bunch of dusted crickets and butter worms in her feed container.
My veiled female finished laying her eggs and now she is burying them. They are not fertile. Do I let her finish burying them and use up even more of her precious energy, or do I gently place her back on the branchers and take the container away? I do not want to stress her out by moving her...
We just adopted our 20 (estimate) month old female veiled a couple of days ago. The adoption happened very quickly due to circumstances. I have to admit, this is my first time dealing with a gravid female cham. I put the proper container and substrate as suggested on this forum. This...
Thank you very much. She did eat some butterworms this morning and I did see a poo. She seems bright and alert and seems to be interested in her surroundings. I love the eyeballs going in two different directions LOL!
So you do not recommend the Reptifogger for her at all?
The Little...
Hello:
Before I start, I know that many of my questions are probably answered elsewhere in the forum, but I just want to make sure I have the basics covered until I have a chance to browse.
We adopted a veiled chameleon very late last night. We did intend to get one in the next little...
