Today i went to my local pet store to pick up a few things for the furry critters in my life.
I noticed while there, that they have baby panthers
This pet store usually only has a few kinds of fish, the odd pacman and a rescue cat/kitten.
I noticed right away that the little Cham isnt doing...
My female veiled is 8 months old.
Her previous sheds have all ranged between a few hours - few days.
This time though..
She shed just her feet and half her tail one week..
Then her head and back 2 weeks ago.
She still needs to shed her legs and half her body.
She doesnt seem bothered...
I sometimes search kijiji for local supplies and other random chameleon related things.
Of course theres always the Chams for rehomong mixed in..
This is what I came across today.
Gravid.. eyes closed during the day..
They are.looking for $375 for the Cham and her "aquarium". 😔😔😔😔
I've...
tonight an hour before lights out, she had a big drink.
She was then climbing down her vine towards me.
She made a noise. I look and she is a slobbery mess!!!
I snapped a quick picture. Then wiped up her face.
She seemed completely fine afterwards.
No noise with her breathing.
No upset...
I fed my Vada this morning.
Must not have put the lid all the way back on the bsfl..
Well let me tell you...
Those little freaks of nature can really travel when they want too. !!
I look up from my coffee see little black things all over the carpet. And think. (What did the puppy chew ??)...
Its been 3 weeks since the first of her receptive/gravid colours showed up.
Its been 3 weeks of pacing. Picky eating. Beating herself and her plants up.
She has finally slowed down some. She stays dark green most of the time now.
Won't eat anything but silk worms and Bsfl.
(The crickets just...
I've posted before about my female veileds crazy behaviour since she started with receptive colours. (13 days now)
Her day is spent between basking and pacing.
She is not overly interested in food. But will eat 1 or 2 crickets a day now.
She has me really concerned that she is hurting herself...
My 5.5 month old female is receptive.
Shes not having a good time of it.
She is Off her food. Today makes a week with little to no appetite. She has had nothing for 3 days.
I know they can go without food safely for a while. But if shes not eating. Shes not getting ger calcium either.
She...
She started showing her colours on Dec 27th.
Shes on day 3 of pacing her enclosure.. ALL DAY. Banging around. I'm worried she will hurt herself (breaking her plants in the process. So much new growth destroyed 😭)
She's off her food for the most part. She has eaten 3 soldier flies in 3 days...
I'm not going to lie.
I didn't think it would work.
I gave the last bunch of crickets a dish of soil when I brought them home a month ago.
I mist it daily when I mist my Cham.
I have no idea what I'm doing. But last night I noticed movement.
I have teeny tiny crickets!!!
What do I feed...
Is there a chart or something that gives a percentile for growth and weights for veiled Chameleons? Or an average weight.
What is an average weight gain for a growing Cham?
I weighed my female about a month ago (really not easy cause she wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea)
Then again...
Got the new dual t5ho fixture in the mail.today.
Set it up with her UVB in one and the plant light in the other. .the brightness in her enclosure is definitely noticeable.
I'd say she is less than pleased with the change. She hasnt stoped pacing her enclosure since I set it up a couple hours...
I "might" take alot of pictures of my girl.
I dont really think I take too many.. maybe 1 or 5 a day?? Shes just so darn pretty. Her grumpy face brightens my day. Her pretty skink might also be the wallpaper of my phone.. (come on though it looks so cool!)
I also "might" send some of these...
Was scrolling through kijiji.ca. looking for random supplies. Thought Id type in chameleons as Im a sucker for handme down animals.
But this ad came up and I want to cry. Poor things?
The last couple of days. My girl has had a puffy throat. Its not her usual grumpy chin which usually only occurs in the morning after lights on.
She has been eating fine. Has maybe been basking a little more. (But I did drop her basking temp to 28°C)
It sometime is only slightly puffy. When...
I'm trying to learn more on the topic and whether my Cham would benefit from a fogger set for night time/ early morning.
day time humidity is great right now. Sits right at 40% But with the heat on in the house its hard to get humdity up at night time. Barely gets up to 70% and doesn't stay...
My Vada will be 4 months on the 24th
(Hatch date July 24th 2020)
Everything I've learned says that I dont have to worry about eggs for a little while yet. But my girl started with some yellow spots a while ago. And now has some pretty teal lines showing that are new (they dont show well on...
What are some early warning signs to watch for when it comes to more common illness or health issues?
Are there certain behaviours?
Things that a newbie wouldn't recognize as something to watch for?
Kinda a random question that popped into my head as I'm having a day of slightly high humidity...
