Yoda's been with me for 3 years now! He's recovering well from his liver infection (still on milk thistle supplement 2x daily) and loves the sun. He didn't love the phone today, hehe.
Hi all,
Took Yoda in for his annual checkup with Dr. Bruce here in Orlando. His bloodwork revealed a liver infection so he's on 4 weeks of Baytril (2x per day) and going to get milk thistle supplements to help with his liver function.
He's been such a great boy for his meds. I credit you all...
Hi folks! I'm selling the cage and lights that I was using for Sabine, my carpet chameleon who passed away from cancer.
I'm in the Orlando, Florida area. I can drive to meet folks partway to sell the cage, depending on location.
$150 OBO includes:
18x18x36 reptibreeze screen cage
Reptisun UVB...
Hi everyone! Since I moved to my new home Yoda has been feeling more confident and has come out for some free range / outside time almost every day.
Trouble is that once he spends a bit of time in his money tree he makes a run for my guinea pig's enclosure. Which has resulted in some...
Hi everyone. I took Sabine to Dr. Bruce at the Animal Veterinary Hospital of Orlando today because she looked frightfully ill this morning. Eyes closed, sunken in, lethargic. The only warning I had was that she didn't eat yesterday and I caught her with a raised head for a moment. I clocked that...
Wasn't sure how it would go, but both chameleons are safe and sound in their enclosures at our new home!
Lots of disassembling, cleaning, and assembling today but we did it! Phew....
Hi all! I'm moving to a new place in Orlando and tweaking my husbandry as a part of the move. I have a top fill Pets Pioneer fogger in great shape that I've modified with PVC pipe to fit over a 2x2x4 cage. The horizontal part of pipe has lots of holes so that the fog comes out as a curtain...
Our landlord pressure washed out duplex and sadly our laundry room window was ajar and some of the bleach mixture sprayed inside. There was a fine mist on everything including the top of my roach bins.
We caught it almost immediately and pulled the bins into the part of the house that has...
Hi all! Breeding has commenced. As moths pair off and then lady moths lay their eggs, shall I put them in a new container? Last time I had eggs within this critter carrier. I'd like to get them into smaller containers. How do the rest of you manage that?
I'm waiting in the vet's office. Yoda's almost due for a check up and I'm making sure he's healthy because he's been lethargic the past week or so. Waking up late and roosting earlier than I'm comfortable with.
Getting him out of his enclosure was a tussle. Had to remove plants, branches, and...
My grasshoppers from NorCal grasshoppers hatched this morning!
Any advice folks have on keeping them happy and healthy is welcome. For now they're in a small container so thinking of moving them to a bigger one. I've got a heat pad under it and adjusted from 85 degrees down to 75. They have...
And I snapped a couple pics from the top of the cage while switching out his heat lamp. Here's Yoda not quite ready to start the day.
I feel like I just pruned and the plants are are already taking over!
Has anyone experienced this before and understand why it happened?
Essentially my hornworms pupated and a couple have emerged as hawkmoths really quickly. This one seems to not have fully emerged...I'm not sure if I can help it remove the cocoon off its face or if I just put it out of his...
Hi all! I think it's finally time for me to get a portable ac unit for my office. The central air in the duplex I rent just isn't strong enough for my two chameleon cages and guinea pigs and me and my think fumes as I'm working all day.
Can you share product links? Or advice as I try and decide...
Share pics of your chameleons shedding on Sundays. 🌞
Here's Sabine. She's growing!
Here's Yoda! His sheds are usually a mess. I am working on his humidity situation to try and improve that.
Hi all! I'm shopping around for a laybin for my new chameleon. Her name is Sabine and she's a carpet chameleon. Frank Payne's care sheet says he uses a 5 gallon plastic bin with 6-8 inches of a sand/soil mix for his carpet cham laying bins.
The laybin will be outside of the enclosure and I'll...
