i am making the tough decision to rehome my 2 year old male veiled chameleon. this is very difficult for me because i love him and care about him so much. i am a college student and will be moving a lot, and i have already moved with him once. i live in southern california right now and am...
thank you! also would i be able to feed 2-3 everyday instead of 5 every other day? why do people feed them every other day? i feel bad when i cut back on his food because he walks all over his cage looking for bugs when i don’t give him as much as he wants
he’s 5 months old and I feed him 5-10 crickets in the morning depending on how many he wants, a small horn worm every other day, and i offer him a dubia about every other day but he only eats like 2 a week. since he loves hornworms so much, I was thinking of ordering silk worms for more variety...
I’m almost always in my room with my chameleon, so I’ve always seen him drink. This past week, I haven’t seen him drink any water. He was refusing any bug other than hornworms for a few days so I gave him 1 hornworm for like 3 or 4 days until he started eating crickets and roaches again. That’s...
I have a bird’s nest fern as well, do you think that would be better? It’s right under the uvb though so I think it’ll be too much light for the fern long term.
Awesome thank you! I have a bird’s nest fern that I can alternate it with to make sure that he doesn’t eat it too much, and I’ll check for bite marks. I’d leave the fern in there but it’s hanging right under the uvb
Awesome thank you, I just took him outside for 20 mins and it was really cool, he turned almost black on the side facing the sun and he was still light green in the side in the shade, so his colors were like half and half. He’s back up at his basking spot right now and seems happy. I’ll post...
Ok. I’ll have my mom get the 5.0 if she hasn’t gotten it yet or I’ll just hang it a foot above the cage if she already got the 10.0. The one I built is 5’5” and I’m just waiting for my boyfriend to put on the mesh tomorrow morning or I might just look up how to do it myself tonight. I’ll order...
I got a midnight focus benjamina, pothos, hypoestes, and small boston ferns for the new cage. The big ones don’t fit in this one but I can put one of the little ferns in here. I’ve been taking him out and putting him on the fern in my room like every other day. I hand mist like 3-4 times a day...
and I have a little thermometer and hygrometer from petco in there right now and I ordered two better ones online for the top and bottom of the new cage
I’ve been using the compact uvb bulb for today and yesterday because the new long one wasn’t working, so my mom is picking up another 10.0 uvb t5 ho long one today and I’ll have it in there by this evening. Here’s the set up right now
My 2-3 month old male veiled keeps going to the bottom of the cage and pawing at the glass trying to get out. He got a dark green unhappy pattern, so I put my hand in there and it scared him a little at first since I was coming from above but he eventually climbed onto my hand and I took him out...
