I was jealous of you guys getting to spy on your chams so I got a chamera 😌 I went with a regular old pet cam and put it outside his enclosure so I can also spy on my dog. Enjoy this snapshot of Spaghetti in one of his weird sleeping positions.
Many of you know that I’m an art teacher. Today was the set up for our area’s biggest art show. 15 different elementary schools in the area participated. I was pleased to see a couple chameleon themed pieces! All three of these are from schools other than the one I teach at. Done by students in...
Today marks one year I’ve spent with this noodle! He was 89 grams when I got him and suffering from MBD. Today he is 119 grams, and in much better health. He has gone from dragging himself slowly along his branches to exploring his entire enclosure multiple times a day. He still has his quirks...
Spaghetti has this bump on his nose. He has always had a little bump on the tip of his nose, but I noticed this morning he has a bigger one right next to it. He is still himself and it doesn’t seem to be bothering him. Anyone have any idea of what this is?
Last photo is an old one so you can...
Why?! He has so many branches. He didn’t like sleeping on his perfectly good horizontal branches, so I give him MULTIPLE vertical ones to choose from. Even a few at diagonal angles! And THIS is how he chooses to sleep 😑
I ordered a new hood for Spaghetti. I mistakingly got the one with the reptizoo 10.0 bulb (which is fine cause I have backup 5.0) HOWEVER, his enclosure is too close to the ceiling for me to use it even if I raise the fixture. So I have no use for it. If anyone wants it, you can have it for...
So it’s cold. Like really cold. It was 3 degrees this morning. Currently 9. With the wind it’s in the negatives. I have heaters going in the room Spaghetti is in, but it’s still not warm enough. I added an extra heat bulb as well. But the highest I can get his enclosure right now is mid to high...
Well I’ve had Spaghetti for almost a year (next month)! So today I deep cleaned and moved around his bar aches and plants. Added a new pathos. I still need one or two more since he likes to much them, they don’t last long. He’s quite pissed at me cause I put him in a box while I did it, but he’s...
I really got lucky with this guy. He’s not friendly enough to willingly come out of his enclosure, but he will come the front to say hello, doesn’t mind me sitting a watching him, doesn’t hide, eats from my hand and he isn’t a shy drinker.
So last week I noticed Spaghetti was closing his left eye off and on and seemed to be trying to clean it. I used a syringe to drop some saline on it and that seemed to solve the problem. He was doing it again today and I saw him rub his face on a branch. I dropped some more saline on it and he...
Is this edema? And how do I treat it? I’ve been gone for about 5 days and he didn’t have this when I left. 😭 before I left I had noticed he seemed thirstier than normal. So I increased the number of mistings and his dripper. His urates improved after that.
