Hello!
Recently I had some issues with my Cham being proparly overhydrated (as his poop was liquid)
I've also had some suspections of him being overweight (I was judging only on his big belly, but now the big belly is gone, but instead, there's this weird pumped casque.
What threatens me the...
So, My cham was showing some issues with his feces recently.
He was dropping his feces regularly every day, but there were some problems with it:
his food part was usually a little bit more watery and light colored, while his water part was also very watery, or not crystalized at all
(I could...
Hello!
I'm generally happy to see my Jojo bright green again, moving and eating on his own, but there's one thing that worries me.
The tip of his lips is always a bit loose, despite his mouth being obviously closed.
As he opened his mouth multiple times when I was opening his cage, I could spot...
Hello again!
According to your advice, I have built an entirely new enclosure for Jojo.
It is built out of aluminum bars, and the mosquito net.
I have disinfected what I could from the old enclosure, and brought an additional two branches.
What do you think about it as it is? I threw out the...
Hi there!
I'm curious what do you, Chameleon owners do if you plan a travel? Not like, moving to another place in term of living, but in term of week-2 week vacations.
Currently I avoid that long adventures as the only people I can count on with taking care of my JoJo are the parents, who, to...
Hello.
The question is mainly forwarded to European keepers.
How are you possible to get the hornworms? They're pretty much popular in US, but I haven't seen any feeder shop offering them.
Is there any law that forbids breeding them in EU? or simply any other thing that makes them very, very...
Hello.
As my first Cham, Jojo the 1st, passed away due to a parasitic infection, I didn't want my next one to suffer the same, so I'm much more cautious in caring about him.
It happened though, that due to disinfecting the enclosure with anti bacteria chemical mix (Virkon) the parasites most...
Hello again!
I'm actually both disappointed,angered and confused at the same time. Definitely not a good thing.
The point is, all my crickets I've bought yesterday, and fed them with dill+bee pollen, were dead today morning.
I've provided them the food, water, place to live in (egg cartons) and...
Hello! Someone of you may know, but I actually failed to seek a Panther Chameleon I could afford (the prices at market were starting at 300$ for basic one, and there was only one to choose from)
So I took the veiled once again. Learning from my mistakes on my first beloved, I can be sure that...
Hello,
few days ago I have purchased my new veiled chameleon.
He seems healthy in general, and has a good apetite, however there's one thing I wanted to ask for.
I've heard that the chameleons eating crickets fed with carrots can sometimes become brighter due to presence of carotene.
And indeed...
Hello!
I have already disinfected the tank after Jojo's last presence.
I want to ask if would be enough for a single Panther chameleon?
All the potential suggestions are welcome.
The size is 60x60x170cm.
The floor is a thick layer of a coconut soil.
The walls are built of tiny mosquito net...
Hello.
I happened to know that some of the chameleon (or generally reptile owners) tend to examine the feeders, or even the feces, in order to see if they aren't infected.
If anyone uses a similar tool for this kind of examination, I would like to ask you if you know the required zooms I should...
As I described in his own thread (regarding his shred problems by the way), Jojo has left our home yesterday due to parasitic infection :(
Medicines couldn't save him. We all miss him (including the parents who didn't manage to remember his name, and called him Winnie), he was only one year old.
Hello!
Disclaimer: I'm not the veteran chameleon caretaker. And Jojo is my first chameleon ever, so please, don't be too harsh, as I want my pet to feel the best as it's possible. However, it sometimes doesn't succeed.
Jojo is a one year old chameleon. I was actually two times at vet's with...
