alright. i could afford the weekly/monthly cost of crickets, so i think im going to make this a project as i am very, VERY fascinated by the chameleons and definitely arent finished with them yet. Ill start by sterilizing his cage and adding a few vines. remove the heat lamp and fountain , ill...
Ok. first off (dont take this personally this is to everyone) I PUT THE TINFOIL UP 2 DAYS BEFORE SO STOP SCREAMING AT ME FOR IT THE EXOTICS SPECIALIST TOLD US TO PUT IT UP BECAUSE HE WAS COLD
2. Give me a list please of everything i need to add, and everything i need to completely get rid of...
Thank you. I seem to have very bad luck with chameleons. I've had 2 and neither has lasted very long and I don't know why. I followed everything by a book I got and I don't get how this one got sick. the other one was sent from Florida (...
I didnt know that their eyes sunk in when they werent hydrated. i noticed it a little when he was dying (we couldnt burry him yet it was dark outside) so i just left him in the cage in the heat and when i went to take him out his eyes were completely sunk in to his skull. creepiest thing id seen...

ive decided im going to force feed him, he was on the bottom of his cage (still alive) but hes only getting worse and i think forcefeeding is my only option right now.
Thank you. I forgot how bad stress is for them. i set his mister to go for 1 minute instead of 15 seconds every hour. i pick up the nozzle and spray his whole cage and him. is there anything else i should be worrying about at this moment?
i put crickets in his cage whenever they are needed, like i said today or tomorrow (as soon as i can get them) i will switch him to silkworms. and i dont know how to get him to drink? i usually dip his nose in his fountain thing to see if he will start drinking and he hasnt been. im sure he...
How much bigger do i need his cage to be? i cant really afford anything bigger right now, the actual chameleon is just about 5 inches from the tip of his nose to vent.

I know he's a Male because he has spurs on his back feet, from what i read that means its a male.
I also have "Zoo Med Reptivite Reptile Vitamins With D3" to dust crickets with, and if thats not enough i have "Repashy Superfood Calcium plus LoD
I will start turning off hit heat bulb at night...
