6 hours of cham care

[BocaJan]

YEOW I spent 6 hours today cleaning 14 cages (14 chams) 3 bins (95 baby veileds) and 3 cricket bins, cleaning the bin and putting in new crickets. I am dripping wet but got it all done before the rain. It has been so humid both in my "zoo room" and outside. I love it!

! clutch of babies will be ready to go in 3 weeks and the other clutch in 6 weeks if anyone is interested.

95 baby veileds! How cute! Yes, you must share pics! Sounds like an awful lot of work caring for all those little green friends, lol!

Too funny! Last weekend when I took all day to deep clean half of my cages, feeders, and babies my Husband asked, "Are you having fun? I don't see how this hobby is any fun because there is too much work!" It certainly is alot of work but it is still rewarding! I can't remember, but it MUST have been easier to not have 45 minutes of cham work before AND after work!

Before I really knew what I was getting into with veiled chameleons, I had a female who laid a clutch of 75 eggs. Every single one hatched. We were overrun with tiny chams. All I really remember is the non-stop feeding, moving, cleaning rotation. And the constant counting to make sure we didn't lose anyone.

Yesterday I was cleaning the cage bottom and I found the most perfect fecal specimen. Of course I showed it to my husband. He didn't appreciate it

That seems to be the conversations that my guy and I have...babies eating, sleeping, coloring up, shedding and pooping. I will get some pics this weekend. Doug wants to get mpg3's with his new camera. We have one guy from the last clutch that is absolutely astounding! You'll see when I post pics of him. Draco is his name and color is his game! LOL
