Hello,
I have a female Jackson's chameleon who gave birth to 18 baby chameleons out of the blue last Thursday. She was from Petco (where I work) and was cohabited with a male for a long time and had a round of babies about 5 or so months ago. I was not at all expecting to come home from...
Thank you for the support, it means a lot. On a brighter note, I just used my new exo-terra combo meter and found that my chameleons' basking spot is at 77.4 F and my humidity is at 51%. I also just fed my remaining three and they all ate (one even twisted around and ate one off his own tail...
I'm pretty sure he's gone now, he looks all shrunken in and his face and legs are black. I will wait another hour or two before I put him in the freezer just to make sure though. I knew he wasn't doing as well as his siblings and that he was probably going to die, but actually losing him was...
Ok, I'm having a bit of an emergency if anyone can help! My smallest baby isn't doing well right now, his grip is just gone and he keeps falling all over the place. When I came back from getting the light bulb I found him on the floor of the cage. What should I do with him?
Oh it's ok... sort of. I know the manager meant well, but I just wish it hadn't happened on my first week there. I even remember telling my manager two separate times before the chameleons happened that the only animals I wasn't really at all confident with were the reptiles. Now with having...
Thank you! I'm so glad I found this site, everyone has been super helpful and nice so far. Thanks for saying that about the nature center, it's made me think and I'm going to ask them more about their future living situation before I hand them over. I would like to make sure they're equipped...
Ok, I know I've let my self know from the beginning that they might all die so I'm prepared for that. Thanks for being truthful about it, I don't want to get my hopes too high. There's one baby I have that I've been fretting over since day one that might die. He's half the size of his three...
Ok, I guess talk me through it first so I really know what I'm getting into? I know the cage I have them in now (a Zilla Fresh Air Screen Habitat, 18x12x20 dimensions) will not cut it for an adult chameleon. I started looking into some cages for when the chameleon gets bigger (assuming he...
Thanks for replying! Three of them are definitely going to the nature center. I don't have the room for four big chameleon enclosures! And I know, Petco did literally everything wrong based on what I read. They kept groups of three or four of them in those little betta fish cups with a wet...
Hello!
So I need some help in making a decision. I just started working at Petco in the beginning of May and on my first week of working there, our female Jackson's chameleon gave birth to 19 babies. After a week passed, our animal care manager asked me and another girl who works there to...
