I dont remember the brand of temp guage I have, i bought it a long time ago, and yes I have a UVB light I have a zoo med uvb bulb and 13W . But I dont think it would be traffic in the morning as we are far from the road and there isn't anything outside the window.
I dont hear a popping or wheezjng, sometimes j hear him snort, and then i have seen him perching his head up before. I had my mom check on him periodically yesterday and she said he wasn't doing it at all, he only tries to come out of his cage, i took a picture kf him today, he didn't have his...
I noticed he was awake about 20 minutes before his lights came on, His colors and general health seems fine, behavior I have noticed him raising his head sometimes. I noticed he stretched his mouth for a little while and closed it when i approached. be appeared to be in a defensive posture as...
This morning when I woke up, I notice my chameleon was awake too before his lights came on, and I saw him stretching his mouth very wide, as if he had a very strong yawn. But chams dont yawn, and his Temps were low as it hadn't turned his lights on yet. What is this a sign if as it couldn't have...
Yeah, I thought it could be pesticides too, I have another batch of crickets from petco. Nothing moldy in there, and the last time I cleaned the tank it was only with soap and water. Thanks for the info! If nothing goes wrong with this batch, I'm just going to assume that the issue was that I...
Thank you!! I'll try this. I contacted Petco by the way, and the guy I talked to was a new employee, but has multiple reptiles and has shopped there for years without this problem. Before my strange incident with crickets, I had never heard of the Cricket Paralysis Virus, and neither had he. But...
Hahaha, yeah that's too many. But I'll check it out anyway, thank you!!! :D If anybody knows if my cage for them is contaminated now, is it still usable?
Hmmmmm.... I guess I'll contact the Petco and let them know of this issue I had. I can try to look into online ordering some different cricket breeds, but nowhere around my home sells them. The only pet place for miles around is Petco, so I'll figure something out. Thanks for your input though...
It's totally fine to put a cover on a side for your cham! I wouldn't cover more than two sides, but if you don't want to move your cage to another less traffic area then that's is definitely a good idea! I have two sides covered on my cham's cage, it help hold humidity and it makes her less...
Hello,
So recently I bought some crickets from Petco. My area has no other reptile or pet company around that I can buy crickets from, so Petco is my only option. This batch of crickets really worried me though, they were dying rapidly and appeared to be having seizures. I found four dead, and...
My chameleon normally doesn't have a stiff tail when she's on the move, but I'm sure some chameleons so. Sometimes her tail is curled a little at the end, but it shouldn't be limp while they walk!
Thanks again! I never thought to use the bird part of the store, but it makes sense. She has natural, cleaned and baked sticks in there now too! Will do, thanks again!
I think their tails curling has to do with whether or not they are comfortable, and when their tails are straight as a stick, they are stressed or aware
Chameleons can decide not to eat in protest of something, but I'm guessing she's young based on her thumbnail. Depending on how long you've had her, she may just need time to get used to her environment. It could also be stress, as jajeanpierre said before, it really could be many reasons...
Thank you!! that's actually very helpful! I'll try doing those things. I've already zip tied what I have in there so far, I'll probably continue to do that. I'll also consider getting pothos plants, that seems like a useful plant for her to climb and eat. This was really useful, thanks!!!:LOL:
She has a UVB and basking bulb. Her temps range from about 90 degrees at her hottest point, 80 in the middle, and around the mid-low 70s toward the bottom. I had laying bin down there for about a month and she didn't lay eggs, or dig. She walking in there a couple of times, but I decided she's...
