I got it at the end of October and therefore I don't know how it behaves in summer or mid-season...but I remember very well, when I went to buy it, it was going from left to right in its terrarium. It was the only time I saw him move!!!
I correct: I see him move when the sparys light up and he...
To cover the sides, I should be able to do this....the back is already covered
Does this mean that we can attribute this inactivity to these too low temperatures?
He does not eat much, you have to let 3 or 4 days no eating between meal days, otherwise he is not interested in food.
At each meal...
If I take the ambient temperature from where it is most of the time, it is between 67 and 70 there during the day..
Between 65 and 68 at night....I'll take pictures and come back to put them
I have a few questions for you:
The slowness...When I watch the videos here or there, they are always moving. When I look at my chameleon, it is always motionless, never moving. It is very frustrating for me because there is no activity, nothing. If I put his bowl, 60cm from him, it will take...
Some news :
He eats with tongs, he eats when it's placed on my hand, he eats carefree from a cup. He drinks the water on the leaves, everything is going well for the moment, thanks again for your advice.
A small photo because I find it pretty
I also proceeded this way before, I had 29.8°c
An other question please : When it goes to the hot spot, it darkens its colors, it seems logical to me, doesn't it?
If I come here, it's to respect your instructions, so I won't move the light bulb, especially since he only stayed like that for 5 minutes.
I measure this temperature with a laser heat gun, on the back of the animal after 10 minutes under it
Yesterday I fed him, he didn't refuse anything and he stayed under the lamp for quite a while, maybe 1 hour...
Today I offered him 2 crickets, he ate them and I saw him trying to find the place closest to the hot spot.
I found it 10 minutes later in the position shown by the photo...
Do I have...
I don't know, I didn't ask... 😳
What reassures me is that he visits his entire terrarium and never opens his mouth to blow...even when I approach within 0.5 inch. If this shy behavior at the beginning is normal in the furcifer who has just moved, I am reassured.
In the store where it was sold, it drank from the sprayer, it rode on the shoulder of the caretaker during the care of the terrarium, etc...
Here, in his new habitat, he is very fearful, very shy, he has only been there for 48 hours...I gave him 1 cricket, he kicked it and ate it.
I specify that...
over the last hour, he spent all his time precisely on the most exposed part, and was quite active in the end, covering well 60 inch in 1 hour...he is covering his new terra
The one he had been in for 2 months was a sales terra, made of glass, and above all much smaller
15inch*12inch*20inch...
the little one arrived last night, so you will tell me if this is normal, but he is very very calm, he moves very little, and is most often immobile. He looks perfectly healthy, his eyes have no problems and they are very mobile. Maybe it's because he's only been there for 24 hours...
A small...
