I have both my bulbs on a timer and this is the third time the lights have come on and the basking light has blown out. The other bulb (on the same dual head dome) has never had this problem. The first time I bought the same exact bulb again and it blew out, the second time I tried a different...
I would try to feed her crickets with feeding tongs, they are more active and may get her attention better. This is how my cham got to know me better and eventually let me handle him. Let her taste them first to understand they are food. I think it would be okay to let her go a day without...
I am not very experienced, but from what i have seen so far on the forums maybe a picture of his enclose could help? and a picture of the surroundings of the enclosure (if that makes any sense) maybe some of the experts can help if they have a visual :)
I made the mistake of buying from a pet store (petsmart) because I was also very new. I say mistake because the enclosure is literally just a display case and does not meet the requirements for a chameleon. As soon as i got him he had problems (with his eyes, still does sometimes) and we don't...
I too almost gave up!! I added some vines attached to the door and the walls and would also take some vines out of the enclousure with the door open when I was around. When he got close to coming outside I gave him a cricket :) with lots of patience he started to accept me more and now loves to...
Yes, I mist him by hand and he also has an automatic mister. I make sure some of it rolls off his head (which he hates, lol) I will try switching suppliments!
I hand feed, so I pick them out individually and tap them a bit to shake off the dust a little bit. I try not to overcoat them. Could it be possible that there is some sort of allergic reaction happening? I'm thinking I should change brands of powder
I have taken my cham to the vet multiple times for an eye closing problem... but i just noticed that my cham closes his eyes the days I give him prey dusted with calcium! I have all the right supplements, and its NOWHERE near as bad as it was but sometimes when I give him plain calcium he will...
Male Veiled
Sinbad :)
Upon researching chameleons before getting one I read a lot that they have attitude problems (I would say more like character) and thought the name was perfect. I call him Sin for short :)
My chameleon has been changing colors when he explores his enclosure... i will attach a picture. Is this normal, or a healthy color for him to stay in when he is exploring? Srry the picture is flipped lol
My vet called an "experienced" reptile shop about my chameleons eye problems (he keeps his eyes shut during the day for long periods of time) he is being observed by the vet, but the shop seems to think i need more vitamins, and to keep his enclosure with heat at all times. Basking is 80-86 low...
What have the vets told you so far? My chameleon is at the vets overnight today (veiled, young) and they don't seem to know the problem. I keep the lights off at night and they think the temp is getting too low. He looks rather healthy and eats well (only after beginning him to open his eyes...
