Hey guys I got an older chameleon from some one that couldn’t care for them any longer. Don’t like to say rescue because I feel he was well taken care of. He is 6 -7 years old and lately has gotten very slow moving and hanging out at bottom with sunken eyes. He never was a big eater and still...
So my veil this morning tried shooting crickets and tounge came out short. First time I ever seen that with him. His supps are good and uvb is fine. Just wondering if temps got lower if being cold could be reason. It’s all controlled by muscles and wondering if not warmed up might be reason
I have an older ambanja that I rescued. He is doing fine with eating and everything. He developed this red bump on his upper lip that almost resemble a pimple. It almost looked like guts from a hornworm dried up or something like that. I tried using warm water and a a tip but no luck. His mouth...
Building some knew cages soon. Was wondering if anyone has ever used culture marble for bottom. I have a store bought cage with plastic on bottom and was going to build similar but use a piece of cultured marble for bottom instead of plastic.
Hey guys having to leave home do to lack of power and hurricane ida. May be traveling by car for 5 plus hours . What’s the best way to reduce stress evacuating with my panther and veil.
Rescued a panther chameleon recently. Brought to vet to insure his mouth defect had no infection and over all health. My vet said he has some metabolic bone or had some bone problems and was likely due to poor supplements either during his development in egg or recent care. She thinks he is not...
bout to rescue a panther and currently have a veil. Want to get ideas of what people are using for a barrier between free range areas. Literally my veil has access to entire room and going to cut in half to give the rescue the same setup. They will be in cages except on weekends. Will have free...
My Tito head real white and appears to be shedding . Does anyone know if there vision gets cloudy which may cause lack in activity? He still eating but seems scarier then normal.
Just had a series of days and serious lighting and thunder especially over night. Seems my little guy is not as active and mostly chilling in one spot. Morning routine seems good just he will usually come out in evenings when I get home and lately he just stays put. I know they don’t hear but...
Been using reptisun t8 10.0 uvb. Just bought 36” fixture and looking for 36” bulb. Best place to buy bulbs? What Arcadia bulb is best r compatible to reptisun t8. I have a veil now and will be getting a panther soon.
Usually do a bunch of research but final decision usually made through info from this forum. Just finished up my outdoor planter/ enclosure for my Tito. 2 biggest hobbies are bonsai and chameleons. Plan on incorporating both hobbies into this outdoor cage . Looking for some possible...
I have a veiled chameleon and going to eventually get a panther. I know humidity and temps are slightly different. I hand spray my veil and humidity usually no lower than 40. Was wondering if a misting system would be significant enough or does the floggers do a better job raising humidity?
Just reordered some supplements. Ordered rept cal calcium without phosphorus and d3. Also ordered the calcium with d3 and there multivitamin. Was using Repashy and want to switch cause I heard not good for chameleons. Curious what brand y’all find best for supps
Upgrading cage and looking to get some bigger light fixtures. Beside aquarium hoods does anyone have any suggestions on light fixtures for uvb? I currently use 18” old aquarium light fixtures and the bulbs are way more.
So my boy Tito is getting about 9 months old. All looks good with him but seems his appetite has decreased. I usually put 1-2 Dubia with black soldier fly larvae and a couple of crickets. Usually trying to feed 10- 12 insects daily. He use to run to me for horned worms but just seems...
Curious and only a little concerned. Tito is about 5-6 month old and has been mine for about a little over a month. He has seem to finally find the best basking spot . Temps seem to be like 85 in basking spot. He is green in morning and in evening when closing him down. He is lounging on this...
Was told by a local pet shop when I asked for Dubia roaches they were expensive and difficult to feed to chameleons cause they are burrowing insects. Suggested to feed baby meal worms. Need some info please or suggestions. Want to offer my lil guy a variety. Not sure about meal worms cause of...
Just got a baby veil! So awesome!!!! Trying to do a lot of research on advantages of hand feeding and allowing the chameleons to associate human interaction with feeding to decrease looking so much like a threat . So this morning at feeding time I put the crickets in cage one by one close to...
