It's been a looong process and a lot of dedication but we don't think he is going to make it. It's been almost 2 weeks now
(2yr old male Veiled chameleon, got extremely constipated when a cold snap came through)
He's been to the exotic vet twice, X-rayed, and there is nothing more we can do...
Current Problem - I am almost positive he is constipated. Bloated, grouchy, not moving around as much, not basking and has not pooped in 3 days ( ive checked). Is still willing to eat but don't want to over feed if he can't pass. (or should I continue feeding?)
Already tried: warm tub soak...
My 2yr old male veiled cham started acting very weird (weird as in not his normal routine) Now the temperature in my house did drop unexpectedly (we got an unexpected cold front) I do have a 100w heat lamp on his cage so he still is warm but of course its still an open air cage. He started...
I got him at the NH Reptile show back in March as 2yr old and he is looking as handsome as ever outside! His change of colors is phenomenal to me, enjoy!
Just went to my local awesome pet store and they always have cool new rep stuff.
In their plant room they had these two plants that I liked. Both hanging. Would love to put the first one in my cham cage cause its thick and would handle him climbing on it.
BUT are they SAFE for my veiled...
I have been noticing some interesting behaviors the past couple weeks. My 2yr male veiled is going through a shed and I heard a barking noise. I thought I was crazy until my BF ran into my work room saying he just heard the chameleon bark. Cham was totally content.
Is this a mating behavior...
Fell in love with chams and so far my male veiled is doing fantastic and my feeder insects are breeding great.
Looking to get a juvi male Jacksons.
Going with reptibreeze. (My male is in the XL)
What size would be appropriate? I heard they don't need AS much room as a adult veiled.
Also...
My male veiled cham is doing great, got him in march at an expo. Hes still eating good and is even drinking out of the cantina. He gets pissy when we take him out but after a minute he calms down.
If we feed him every other day, the second day he will start scratching at the cage door like...
So when I got two containers of MD hornworms for my cham they have now doubled in size! Some reaching 4"
Still some smaller ones to feed (feeding a full grown male veiled)
Can he actually eat those big ones if I let him? Or would those be too much.....
Thinking of setting up a breeding...
I just got my cham, a 2 1/2 yr old proven breeder male. I take him out every morning and put him on a bird playstand (the wood is big and gnarly so my parrots are afraid of it) so now its a cham stand hahah I feed him either from my hand or on the stand (for slower moving bugs)
This guy eats...
I'm SOOOO Excited! I finally got the cham I was looking for! Went to the reptile show and saw lots of baby chams (most which I was unfamiliar with) they did have some panthers, nosey be females, and a jackson but I found the Jewel!
Perched on the display rack of supplies was a big and handsome...
With only 7 exciting days left till the rep expo in Manchester NH, it leaves me thinking a very important question that may sound silly!!
To those who have been, do most vendors accept credit cards? I'm guessing they must judging how much some of these fancy herps cost (who's carrying around 2g...
So I finally got some awesome plants for my cham setup (reptibreeze 24x24x48) with a mistking. So far I have everything under the sun for him when I get him. Of course cage will be setup fully.
I bought a mini pothos to go in my magnetic rock ledge plant holder. Also got a 3 1/2 ft tall ficus...
So I know this is going to vary as I have read through a lot of the posts on the exact amount/type of food for chams.
Plan on getting a mostly fullgrown male vield. How many crickets should he be eating a day? (Let's just start with the simplest food source and I'll ask the breeder but outside...
After a lot of research I will be purchasing a Mistking system for my veild cham (who I do not have yet, getting all the supplies first)
I've seen a lot of vids of it in action in glass enclosures, what I'm wondering is how it does in the screen cages. Do you notice water getting sprayed...
This has probably been covered somewhere along the road but I find it easier to get a clear cut answer than searching for hours finding Maaaaaybe what I need.
To start, I am getting a male Veiled Chameleon at the end of march. Not sure on size, hopefully a juvi or semi adult. Hope to find a...
