Jd, you constantly ask for good breeders but then get so defensive of the ones we say are bad, or don't take the answers we give. Why ask in the first place if you wont listen to the advice? If you need the evidence of why these dealers are bad, there is a search at the top of the page. We can't...
They also are really bad with communication. And some have had bad experiences with them in general. It's something you use your own good judgement on honestly.
My boy was healthy when he got to me aside from possibly coming to me with coccidia, which has seemed to be the case with a few other members chameleons as well (bought from flchams). If it were me I would look elsewhere first. Coccidia is no joke. But it could've been coincidence. I believe you...
Personally I pick 8-12+ different greens, veggies (and a few fruits) and blend it all up. Then I add some bee pollen and bug burger (commercial gut load), measure into ice cube trays and freeze. Just dethaw for use. Lasts for months especially if you don't have tons of bugs. If you cant do this...
Anytime, as Becca said tail tip looks good. Appreciate that you are willing to do everything. I personally use critter depot (because they are cheaper for the amount of bugs I need), but I've heard good things about josh frogs, lindasgonebuggie, and rainbowmealworms. Make sure you aren't too far...
Chameleon - Male Chameleon, around a year old, not exactly sure. He has been in my care since he was about 1-2 months old
Handling - Every 2 days or so, really just to put him on his tree.
Feeding - Wax worms, Super worms, Dubia Roaches. Feeding Every other day, sometimes a little treat in...
Ok so he can get way too close to that 10.0 uvb. You should switch it out for a 5.0 and the distance from highest branch to the 5.0 should be 8-9 inches. Until then you have to put 11-12 inches distance between him and that 10.0. Him being able to get so close to a high power bulb is giving...
just ducking in to say that the vast majority of chameleons (especially veiled) do not tend to be 'friendly'. My boy is about to turn 3 and still has a special kind of hate for me, lol. They are very much a look-dont-touch type of animal. Most people can form a trust between them and their...
Jann has been keeping for years and years, very far from her first rodeo. Believe me, she knows what she's doing! Those pics with Lily's eyes closed are from when she first acquired her. :)
Lily is so beautiful. Looks way better then when you first got her! She will live out the rest of her...
Also this is an amazing resource, definitely use the crash course! https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-husbandry-program-getting-started-with-chameleons/
The first few days or even up to week of decreased eating is normal at first. After about two weeks of having him I'd expect him to start eating as much as a young chameleon should though. Where did you get him from? Id recommend getting a fecal test on him. Better to catch this earlier than...
Mars is 5, turning 6 this November. So a decent bit older than Spike. He was much more active during 'mating season' when he was younger, around the 1-3 year old mark.
Mars had 2 surgeries a couple years back due to tail complications, he's my stumpy tailed boy (used to be 19 inches long, he is...
Mars prances around the front of his cage every now and then in the spring when he's looking for ladies, not usually as 'severe' as @MissSkittles described. With the exception of when it's a bug feeding day. In which case he seems to forget there is a barrier between me and him as I sort out his...
