Hello! Just want to chime in and second everything @LizardLurkin said. Reptivite is fine, your Cham will get all the nessecary vitamins from it. My issue with it was that it did not seem to stick as well to the bugs as repashy, and I felt like I had to use more of it in order for my guy to get...
I really am the last person to ask about plant advice 😅. This is the longest I’ve ever kept anything alive. I just use organic soil from Walmart and a cheap plant bulb from Amazon. Tbh I don’t even stick with one brand. I started getting the organic with no fertilizer or anything because my guy...
I have a terrible time keeping plants alive as well and my guy will eat as much as he can 😅 I found that if I strategically placed my pathos so they get watered by the misters, and I have a plant light on a timer, I don’t have to do anything to them and they have been thriving. I also found that...
Hello! Nothing crazy jumps out at me, no need to panic. Both @amateurchameleon and @LizardLurkin are correct, adult chams do shed in ‘parts’ so the lighter areas may be where she is about to shed. How long have you had her? The led bars, are they UVB? If so, what kind and strength? Lizardlurkin...
@LizardLurkin is correct, do not trim them. They need to be sharp so they can climb and hang on those branches 😊 I was unaware they didn’t regrow, so that’s good to know!
One thing I’ve found helpful when using this method, is to actually attach an empty pot. This way I can drop in another pot with the plant in it and when my guy eventually eats it or I kill it, I can easily swap plants without taking it apart.
I’ve no advice, I just want to say how handsome he is and commend you on taking such good care of him. To have made it this long really speaks to your husbandry and your love for Marlo. My guy is still young (will be 3 this fall) but my weenie dog is getting up there so I’m going through similar...
Hey there! I love the name and your gorgeous girl! I’m not going to give advice here since I’m not well versed on panthers or girls. I have a male veiled so husbandry is different. But nothing jumps out as wildly off to me. Probably a few tweaks here and there but you are for sure starting off...
Probe thermometers are more accurate from what I have read here. So it may be a few degrees off. You can get them pretty cheap. I think I got a 2 pack from Amazon and I have one on his basking branch and one in the middle of the enclosure. PLUS it also measures humidity. If adjusting the light...
I would try and lift the basking light a few inches (prop it up on something) 89 would be too hot for him. 85 is the max I believe. So if your stick is a couple degrees less, his back should be around 85. How are you measuring temps?
What are your temps at? He doesn’t have his nose titled up like you typically see with RI. They will open their mouths to cool off if they get too hot.
I never knew about keratin plugs 🙃 see this is why I say let others chime in 😅 the vet probably has an abscess on her radar as a possibility if she said lancing it was the next step. My Cham had one. My vet did something very similar. Antibiotics first just to avoid less invasiveness if...
Like already mentioned, movement can be enticing. My guy won’t eat them unless they are moving. They can also be picky eaters and will throw a fit and go on a hunger strike. I see it on here all the time. You just have to keep offering them. Is he full grown?
Hmmmmm to me it looks like an abscess. But I am by no means an expert and have less experience than many here. Is the vet you went to one on our list? When they have an abscess, they have to be drained and cleaned out. Their pus is not really liquid. It’s more of a cottage cheese texture (🤢 I...
No it’s not required to blend. I personally do, then I put in ice cube trays and freeze. I just put a cube in their bin when I feed them. But I only have one Cham and no other reptiles so if I don’t, I end up wasting veggies. They can do just fine without blending or thin portions. ☺️
