It's been awhile since I've posted in here. So let me just say I've spent the last 8 months stressing about eggs since I rescued my female chameleon, Hela. I was honestly starting to wonder if she was ever going to lay eggs. But I got up a couple days ago and heard her digging! She's still very...
Hi all!
So my little girl Hela is now around 14-15 months, and still no signs of eggs at all. She has a little bit receptive colors showing, but that's it.
Hela is very small, she had a very rough beginning before coming into my care (she lived in a travel carrier, no heat/lights, no...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - female vieled chameleon. Approx 11-12 months. I've had her for about 4 months.
Handling - I have literally only held her twice. Once when she got her new cage set up and I had to move her, and once when I took her to the vet.
Feeding - mainly crickets...
Hi everyone! So my little rescue baby, Hela, is now about 9-10 months old. She's my first female, so the whole egg laying makes me anxious. Her colors have changed a bit, mostly dark bars and not so drastically that I thought she was showing receptive colors, but then again I only have what info...
It's been so hot out I have to limit our outdoor time to shorter periods. I live in Arizona so summer is not our friend when its 100-115 outside, and it's just too hot. I'd really love to build an outdoor enclosure for them to take turns in.
Right now I just take their cage outside once a week...
I was on a business trip for a week, my reptiles were left in the care of my husband and son but I still worry like crazy when I'm gone. I got back Friday and yesterday Hela started her first shed since we got her. It's like she waited for me to witness it lol and I get way too excited over...
How can one little lizard make me so happy :love:
Life is funny ya know, I didn't want to do rescue chameleons because I was scared of the heart ache, but this little girl has filled me with so much joy!
My girl, Hela, has officially moved into her new enclosure today.
I know it still needs some work, but mind you, she came to me unexpectedly and has been living in a temporary cage until I was able to get a new one set up.
I have some more branches for her and her very own hibiscus that will be...
I have never heard of spaying a reptile before. When I took my female veiled in for her first ever check up my vet played on the scare tactics thick about egg laying. He said she's most likely going to get MBD, regardless of husbandry and supplements, due to the toll egg laying will have on her...
Hela Update: So it's been 9 days since I rescued my female veiled chameleon, Hela, from the miserable conditions her previous owners had her in, she's been doing really good, and she had her first ever vet appointment today! I am so relieved to hear the doc says she looks great, especially...
Hi all, I just rescued a female vieled chameleon from pretty terrible conditions. The information I got from the previous owners was that she was a 2 year old male, definitely not a male and honestly due to her small size not sure if she's really 2 years old. (If she is 2 years old she's a true...
I just want share my frustration with like minded reptile enthusiasts. And to vent a little.
On Friday I was tagged in a Facebook post about a chameleon that needed a good home, by my friends daughter. I had no intention of doing any type of chameleon rescue because I know it can come with lots...
Hi! It's been awhile since I've been on here but I know this is a place I can rely on for great advice!
I'm looking to get a hatching panther in the near future, and am shopping for a new enclosure for him. What size would you recommend for a hatching? Should I start small and work up to...
Hi so I just got my vieled a new bigger and better cage, it should be arriving within in the week. I've been using paper towels at the bottom of his current cage, when they get soiled I just replace them. It's convenient but not exactly economical, or environmentally friendly. So I wanted to see...
I took Loki to the vet for the first time, I wasn't able to get a fecal sample done because I did my routine poop clean up the day before, forgetting I needed to save it, and he didn't leave any presents before leaving in the morning. My bearded dragon also went to the vet and his fecal test...
So I know this very general because of course all chameleons grow at different rates, but after looking at so many pictures of all your different chameleons around the same age I feel like they they much larger and.more colorful then my Loki. I was guessing he was around 6 months.
(I got him...
Hello everyone! I've been reading all your threads for the last few days and decided I should join :) my name is Amanda and as of last Thursday I am a proud veiled chameleon owner!
I'm still new in the world of reptiles, but I found my calling to them when my sister bought my son a Leopard...
