During the day I try to keep it around 50 and at night I think it remains the same. But some days the humidity can drop to 30 and I have to mist constantly and I mean unleash a tropical rainstorm in his viv every few hours just to keep it at 50. Sometimes it will spike to 70-80.
I also have a...
I have recently set up a fogger in my vivarium as I am struggling to keep the humidity up even with misting. I've been instructed by the vets that the chameleons branches shouldn't be wet all day round as the constant walking on damp branches is very bad for chams feet. But now reading this...
I have 10 month old panther. His sheds sometimes last as long as three days. Small amounts of shed are allways left on his head between his eyes and on his tail. They are not a problem unless they are looped tightly around a limb. This is very rare. I have been to the vets in the past about his...
I have two tubs of spring tails and two tubs of woodlice. Probs about 15 woodlice. Live moss to top it all off with. I recently had to up the amount of CUC as I was noticing a backlog off poop. I had only had 1 tub of spring tails in to begin with. Simply wasnt enough. Hopefully this will work...
Hello again.
Impaction turned out to be mild and he passed lots of poops.
However he is struggling with his shed.
And I catch him laying like this (see new picture) on one of his vines.
Should I go back to vet.
A vet told me that chameleons often go to the brightest area in their cage for heat as in the wild they associate sunlight with heat.
I recently had to put a day light heat lamp in during the day instead of my ceramic because my cham kept going to the uv for heat. Now he goes to the day light...
I really think it's a mistake to get a juvenile/hatching chameleon knowing that you are going to move in 3 months. They suffer alot of stress from stuff like that.
Picking up a chameleon from a breeder and placing it in a cage takes no time at all. The 3 mists a day , morning feeds, buying more...
You can get all set up now ( cage bio active if your doing one etc..) and pick up your cham when he is 3 months old. If your too busy to pick him up surely your too busy to own him.
The vet did say it was not something to do ever. But she said it would help with the impaction specifically to help moisten the vent.
I have realised now after watching a couple of videos that I need to keep pascal dry for his shed.
Been to the vets. Very slight impaction. Not worth worrying about at this point. He has pooed. And the vet has asked me to keep up his humidity( my humidity of 75 was spot on she said) and misting for hydration and to give him very shallow baths twice a day supervised. This is to moisten his...
