I did notice the shine on it! I thought it was a bit suspicious, but I wasn’t sure. I’ll definitely sand it a bit and give it a bendy-branch, since this is his favorite basking spot and I want him to enjoy it to the fullest. 💚
For a few days after I put a bamboo bridge in Rango (my veiled)’s cage, he avoided the general area. I had hoped to use it with the intent of helping his claws dull out a bit.
He seems to have explored the bamboo out of curiosity while I was away today. Look at his basking stance! 😂
They seem to hover around the ceiling, specifically the lights. Occasionally they will move onto Rango’s branches. I think they may have come from another part of my home? I don’t leave food in my veiled’s cage for more than a day at a time. He usually eats it… but right now, he’s in shed 😅
I’m sure there are already many posts about this issue… but I’ve noticed that gnats (fruit flies) seemed to come out of nowhere and have become roommates with my Veiled.
Is there a simple way to solve this problem? Maybe a plant of sorts?
As Lucas said, sometimes tough love is the way to go with Chams. I would offer your cham only different types of bugs (NOT mealworms; offer dubia, silkworms, crickets, etc). If she doesn’t eat them, then just don’t feed her for the day. Your cham should give in eventually and the problem will...
Hey all,
I have been reviving my late mother’s bright green pothos fir a few weeks now. It’s brightened up quite a bit, and now I believe it’s ready to be used as ceiling coverage.
However, I can’t figure out how I could starch my pothos to the ceiling of my cage. For reference, it’s an XL...
Accidentally misted Rango directly this evening, but I thought he looked handsome and share-worthy. 💚
(He didn’t seem to mind as much this time & actually drank some water!)
Hey, all! Me again.
So I’ve come across one issue that genuinely bothers me: I work late (usually until about 9 PM), and I cannot water my Veiled until I am home. I do not want any family member accidentally doing something wrong while trying to help, and I do not have an automatic mister yet...
It’s 12:11 AM (CDT), so I’m a bit early… but I’m super excited to post this one! I love how strong-looking Rango’s hind legs are becoming. 😍
Happy Tuesday, everybody! 💚
I’ve been avoiding hand feeding. To be honest, I was waiting until Rango got his new cage… but, now that he’s had it for a while, I’ve been trying to introduce him to hand feeding in an attempt to build trust.
Unfortunately, my veiled isn’t exactly a fan of my hand. I attempted feeding him a...
Oh, poor baby! :(
I figured this may have been the case. That, or him only waking up moments earlier while I was trying to sneakily snap a picture of him (without flash of course) may have given him droopy eyelids.
I don’t ever pet him like this, but I’ll be sure not to do this again! 💔
An odd question, I know, but I don’t stare at my veiled long enough to catch him blinking. I figured they likely had a third eyelid or something… 😅
However, I caught this clip as I was testing Rango’s reaction to a gentle pet. Is he blinking, or is this a flinch?…
I suppose the second one...
Hello! Welcome to the wonderful world of Chams! 💚
Typically, your temp range should hover around the mid-60s at night. When a chameleon is cold, they often move slowly or stay a dark color (which I believe is an attempt to absorb heat, like how they change color when basking).
Yawning is...
