I used to be more active here but real life has been all over the place. Some things lately have me concerned.
Long post. Bottom will be simplified to the point if you dont feel like reading it all.
Last month Argo was showing signs of a uri and somehow also burned his tail. I live in Ohio...
Ok so i have an old tv shelving unit that my aunt gave me and im going to turn it into argos new cage. Ill add photos as i can but righ now i just have the stand and a head full of ideas.
First off i know im going to use aluminium bug screen for the ventilation sites of the cage.
I also want...
So next month i'll be getting married and we are going to vegas for 10 days. Its the longest i've ever left any of my fur/scale/and gill babies. My father-in-law is going to be staying at our house to watch over everyone. He has watched the dogs & cats before and the fish are simple, just put...
Not sure gow to word the title, but I have a jackson whos basking temp is supposed to be 85, but outside and in my house it reaches the 80s. If i have his heat bulb on it makes it like 90 and sometimes hotter. I have a dimmer and turn it all the way down and it still gets to 88+
My question is...
So last night again I couldn't find argo sleeping. just figured it had to have been a new sleeping spot and didn't want to turn light on to disturb him. This morning I noticed that He never made his way up to his basking spot. now I'm looking through his cage, get my hubby to look around it as...
So for the past few nights Argo found a new sleeping spot and i could never seem to fund him when it was bedtime. I figured he couldnt have escaped so no harm, he found a good hiding spot for bed time. Tonight i was dead set in finding him and spent like 15 minutes looking around the cage than...
Your Chameleon - Male jackson. About 6-7 months. I've had him about a month
Handling - only about 3-5 times in the last month.
Feeding - main food is crickets but I do give him the atleast one of the following along side crickets dub/spotted roaches, superworms, meal worms, wax worms, and stink...
Or atleast his first with me. He must have just started while I was at work. I gave him a good mist a little bit ago and just turned the lights out. Anything else I should do to help him? Just extra misting? Should I give him reptivite or other vitamin other than cal? More than the monthly dose...
Just looked over at Argo and he was dancing on the vine showing the brightest green I've ever seen on him and had his mouth wide open. I'm guessing it's some kind of display for mating, but I have no other chameleons. Is this just something that they do on their own sometimes?
Took a bit of time I know, but finnally glad I got one to keep Argo happy :)
It's nothing fancy, just a starter till I can save up for a mist king. Reptirain system that I got after A mis price match online. Works good for the starter cage. Argo is once again mad at me for invading his space...
So when I originally set up Argos cage I was a dumb blonde and forgot to set up proper drainage for the cage.
On saturday I had to look for a way to fix the issue. Had a temp fix and found an idea on here using a shelving unit. Yesturday i took him out of his cage to fix the drainage system and...
Didn't know if I should post this here or in another area, it's not really health related or cage related. When you fill your drippers/sprayer/misters ex. do you use treated tap water or bottled water? Or just tap?
I'm currently using bottled drinking water for everything including the cool...
So I work at a petstore and a pair of jackson chameleons came in (not something we get often at all) and i fell in love with the male one. So now I have a chameleon named Argo.
So far he's settling in well I think. His first day he wasnt fully green, showing stress colors. Today hes green...
