The vet sent me a sympathy card. How thoughtful of them, it was signed by everyone there. :-) Now that's a good vet.
For y'all that don't know, my male veiled passed away a few days ago. I buried him in my garden with a piece of his branch from his cage.
RIP El Chamino, I miss you!
Hi guys.
I'm devasted. I woke up this morning to find El Chamino, my 7 month old male veiled died. He was still holding onto a branch, but down at the bottom of the cage.
I am so stunned. He was doing great. The vet had nothing bad to say, he was eating, drinking, and everything was right...
Hey guys
So searching through the forums, the only thing I consistantly find about silkworms are that they are good for dehydrated chams. I feed my veiled cham (Male) crickets and silk worms, and I'm just wondering what makes silkworms good, and what do they offer?
My cham loves the silkies...
So i decided to start feeding my cham El Chamino silk worms. I've had him for about 5 weeks now.
He is quite agressive, probably because he doesn't like me rubbing BNP cream in his eyes everyday, but anyway, he hisses and freaks whenever I get close or mist him.
I bought silk worms...
So El Chamino, today, was drooling. I walked in and he had a nbig spit bubble, and ten is popped and it was drooling and such. It look thick and sticky.
Any help?
So we took El Chamino to the vet today. Disappointment is around.
1) He is perfectly healthy.
2) He is only 6 months old, Petsmart sold him to us for $200 because he was an "adult."
Guhhhh
My cham is pretty much sleeping all day...he usually wakes up somewhere around 9am, but it's 11:50 and he's still sleeping.
He is easy to wake up at this point, my misting woke him up, and when I put his crickets into the cage he woke up as well.
What should I do?
My chams eyes are closed. What do I do? Why are they closed? I'm very worried.
How do you feed them when they're eyes are closed?
Edit: Only ONE eye is closed.
So his first shed in my care is finished! He now has beautiful patterns on him! There are pictures below :-) I also bought him a nice Ficus tree!
Alrighty, questions...
From the pictures, does he look good? Hydrated, and everything?
Meal Worms. I bought 'em, but he shys away from me...
Can I let my cham ride my doggy?
Haha, I'm joking, but I do have a question.
Does is stress out chams to have a dog walking around every so often?
The enclosure is in my room, and the door stays shut during the day, but whenever I walk in the dog is sure to follow. He's a medium-ish...
YAY!
My cham (veiled) is shedding his first shed in my care! I'm really excited, but I must say, it's a weird thing to witness! Haha. I already see more colour in him, and he's been acting weird, but from reading the forums I see it's typical for them to act weird during a shed. he just hides...
Hey all!
Just a general question for when summer gets into full swing.
How do you go about keeping the humidity level down on those humid days? I would think a dehumidifier would work, but any other ways?
Is it normal for a Veiled to remain brown all day, and then turn a nice green when he's sleeping? He is new, I've had him for 4 days now, and I would think tht he would be used to his surroundings by now? I put some pictures below, apologies for the quality.
Hey everyone!
I've had my new Veiled Chameleon for a few days now, and I'm having problems keeping the humidity up. I mist like every hour/hour and a half to keep it up, but it never seems to go past 50. I am going to add in a sac of ice cubes that will drip into a bowl, and I'm debating a...
