I was feeding my cham this morning and she went to shoot her roach and her tongue got stuck on a branch and she had trouble retracting it cause it stuck to the branch. I tried to feed her another roach and she couldn't shoot her tongue more than half way out. I haven't tried to feed her since...
I too own a female chameleon from petco. I bought her a few months ago with little to no knowledge of the hobby. Like you, I also bought the starter kit and did everything you are talking about. The eye problem could be a possible infection and you should continue to mist her a couple times a...
Yea I have that with my girl too. She will come to the door when I open it and wait for me to give her some crickets or worms w/e... but I want to know how to get her to want to come onto my hand! the only way she will is if I hold her food away from the cage and let her use my arm as a way to...
I'm curious about training chameleons and how it is done. Like how to get your cham to be comfortable enough to walk out of it's cage onto my hand or to just come to my hand whenever I want it to. I know they are solitary creatures but I would like to believe they can be trained to not be the...
I gutload my crickets with kale greens and flukers calcium gel. she also gets a mix of other worms like super worms, wax worms, and butter worms for added nutrition. I dust her crickets and worms with calcium without d3 nearly every feed and a dusting of vitamins with d3 every other week or...
Okay thank you! That's what I figured but I wanted to be sure. I think my girl might be ready so I'm going to try and cover her cage with a sheet and give her constant privacy. I haven't seen her digging yet but she's been gravid for over a month now and I'm worried it's my fault she hasn't felt...
I know my chameleon should have complete privacy when ready to lay but what about her lighting schedule? Should that stay the same? I usually run my lights for 12/12 starting at 7AM.
I have one of these hoods. Awesome light! it comes with 3 different lighting modes for plant growth if you have real plants, moon light (probably shouldn't be used for chams) regular led light and a UVB tube light. I combine this light with a double fixture with basking and a second uvb just to...
My girl is the same! I literally have an identical cham, looks exactly like yours and is around the same age. I worry that she is egg bound too because she started getting her gravid colors over a month ago and she still hasn't used her egg laying bin that I set up for her underneath her cage...
My veiled was going crazy for awhile before I changed the way she was getting hydrated. I don't have drainage in my cage so I don't use a dripper like most people. I was wetting my kale greens significantly so she could get a good drink whenever she ate the leaves. However, I tried my mister...
Yup, calcium without D3 each feed, D3&vitamins twice a month or every other week or so. Give your cham a variety of foods so they can get a good mix of different stuff. They get different nutrients from different bugs. I also give my cham a vegetable "salad" most days. It contains mostly kale...
