Chameleon and Frogs

[kinyonga]

@perryny how old was the veiled chameleon when he died and what did he die from?

She was a little over 3 yrs. old. She ate a rock from one of the plants in her enclosure, which caused an impaction. The day I discovered her not eating, I made an appointment with the vet for the following day. But the following morning, she was gone.

Terrible mistake on my part. I covered the dirt in her potted plants with pebbles, to keep her from eating the dirt. I didn't think she'd try eating these - I really thought were too big to be interesting to her. Lesson learned. All the rocks in Finn's cage now are bigger than his head.

Sorry to hear that. It's amazing the size of what can be ingested by them.

I love these little guys so much...

Even though it goes against everything I think I know.... I gotta admit that's a cute picture.

Those are amazing pictures!! I love seeing them!! They are SO darn cute together!! I totally agree with @Scottsquatch ^^^ There seems to always be at least one "odd couple" that just shouldn't be together but are friends anyway!!

Perryny, I saved your pic. It's cool. I won't post it anywhere. I just wanna show a couple of friends.

I'm actually not surprised that a chameleon wouldn't eat a frog verses something like an anole. Wouldn't some frogs in their habitat be possibly toxic? Or perhaps the slimminess maybe just gross them out?
