Ok thank you guys, I just went out and got her. I have been sitting here on my porch with my blue tongue skink the whole time, but the tree is like 50 feet away so it would be too far for me to save her if a bird attacked. Plus the tree is like 14ft and she was at the top loving life. I grabbed...
Hey everyone, so I have an approximately 1 year old female oustalet's chameleon, and she's just started to hit adulthood. Recently she's just seemed to want to get out of the cage and explore. I've tried changing up different things in the enclosure like 10 times over the last month, thinking...
Thanks, I will try this. I just had a small mesh cage laying around from when she was a tiny baby and was waiting on my big cage to come in. I realized it was a bad idea when I opened the door this morning to a cold 30 degree windy day lol.
Ugh, yeah I agree, it's just annoying I had to stress her out bringing her to the vet, just to have to go and do it over again. I think my mistake was that I found an ARAV vet, but didn't request him by name when scheduling the appointment, so I got someone that wasn't as knowledgeable with...
So I brought her into the vet today... And the vet pretty much said she looks perfectly fine and healthy. She said the white areas under the legs are essentially "arm pits." Here's a picture I took of my chameleon after she was stressed out by the vet and on the roof of her "travel cage."
Does...
Ok, I'm going to schedule a vet visit today to be safe. I'm also now seeing on her other side, in the same spot under the front leg, there's a similar area. It's a white spot that looks inflamed and similar size, but no "hole"
Definitely not a cricket bite, I only feed her dubias at this point...
Today I noticed a strange "hole" in my ~year old Oustalet's chameleon. She just started shedding, but this doesn't look like shedding to me...
She seems otherwise healthy. Eats 6-8 large dubias every day dusted with calcium. The UVB bulb is still producing proper amounts of UVB over her main...
Dang, I really want to follow this guide but the pump is no longer on Amazon. All of the alternatives posted in this thread are also dead links 😢
Does anyone have a pump recommendation for this system?
I kept seeing corrugated plastic panels come up when I was searching for PVC panels, but I thought they might not be durable/sturdy enough. The fact you brought it up though makes me maybe think otherwise. They would indeed be significantly easier to work with and replace than pvc or plexiglass...
Wow, that looks great! $2500?? That's wild lol. Does that include buying tools that you didn't have before? I know it's not exactly more cost efficient to build a DIY cage, however I can definitely see myself getting more chams in the future, possibly even a meller's, so if a lot of that cost is...
Hey everyone, I am looking to get a chameleon, and I want to avoid some mistakes I made with the first one I had a few years ago. I had a Jackson that was in a retail 2x2x4 screen cage, and I manually misted him. It turns out that the water from the spray bottle was running down the back wall of...
