Gutloading

[Lizardlover]

no no they are harmless, they are all over the place its ok....

uhm, you know that how? You just asked if they were ok so now you are just jumping the gun because you actually have to think and research to see if these spiders are ok and endangering your chameleon. From reading previous threads I must say, you have a horrible attitude.

even know some spiders are safe, I wont ever feed them to my cham

Why are you feeding dead bugs to your feeders? Why are you catching spiders for your chameleon? research different fedder options. Buy a decent dry gutload like crick crack and feed your feedrs the best fruits and vggies yiu can afford.

Dandelion in your yard are not always the same purchased at most produce sections of a market. Perhaps buy those and clean them for your gut loading and not take chances on what has been in contact with your lawn "lions". Herbicides are not the only thing outside.

If you want to mix it up, try( as I have) feeding LIVE silkworms to adult crickets. The crickets will eat anything and I have done this when I have chameleons that don't like silkworms. Yes, some don't like them.

When more than one person raises a doubt over your questions, there is usually something behind it so if there's doubt, do without. You can live without dandelion in gutloading and without using spiders for feed. There are myriad substitutes to keep your cham happy and healthy.

And an easy "get by" gutload, depending on what your lifetsyle is, simply use the pulp from your juicer. It's not as nutritious as the fruits as a whole but you seem to be looking for easy alternatives and this will help while you find a solution for a very easy topic to research( no judging). But this depends on what you make juice out of, if you do at all. Superworms are not too fussy to feed.

well i think you should either sell it to trace or kill it swift and clean. your clearly too incompetent to raise this thing. i can only imagine the type of health its in. every day is probably a struggle. i dont even want to think about the enclosure conditions.

 

[Chamster]

Come on guys actually my Cham is in a pretty impressive enclosure.. He's healthy and happy. I'll post a couple of pictures today ..

How many of you would like to see pictures??? Just let me know so I can out the effort to taking good ones.

Tiny bit harsh to tell him to kill his cham don't you think?






Anyway, just search the forum.. there are loads of links to websites that let you know what's safe and what isn't.
With all the time you spend trying to shock people with how you comment on the forums, you could actually be searching worth while websites for what you need.

People tend to make a big deal out of everything and everything about me harming the chameleon is false. I'll post some pictures ..

I have seen on many occasions in a few of your threads where you look like you don't give a crap about your chameleon.

That's why everyone makes assumptions about you and everything turns into a big deal.

 

[Chamster]

If something I say seems to be a little too cruel or horrible or maybe disturbing then ts probably not true.. I don't and won't harm any living creature.. I live animals.. However I do feed live rats to my snakes because that's the only way try would eat.

Why do you say things like that then?
It makes people think that you don't take care of your cham properly.

I don't and won't harm any living creature.. I live animals.. However I do feed live rats to my snakes because that's the only way try would eat.

I'm not saying that you have but like I said... you perceive yourself to be the kind of person who is ignorant and oblivious to good advice!


I would love to see pics of your cham btw.
It's always nice seeing other chams

Of course I'd rather see it saved by trace or anybody. But if that’s not going to happen then euthanize it. Better than the torturous environment its in now. Earthworms, spiders, feeders being fed dead feeders and other random bits? Seriously? How about the other thread where he feeds it wood. I’m not a tree hugging hippie but I think if he’s still so incompetent with all the provided information to properly care for his animal then he shouldn’t have it. Florida and much of the southern states is overrun with invasive species stocked by incompetent pet owners, chameleons being one of them.

Euthanising sounds so much better than what you said first though.
That's mainly what I was getting at when I replied

I would also rather he go to someone who cares a great deal more than the OP, I have also seen some of the things he comes out with...

You do bring the harsh critisim on yourself. I have read many of your threads, and find you come across as rash, lazy, ignorant, and very nonchalant about the health and well being of your chameleon. You might try communicating differently, maybe even listening to the advice you receive, if you desire a different response.
But sure - please post pictures (in a new thread, appropriately placed and titled)

 

[Chamster]

here are some pictures that are 5 days old or less.....

 

[Metric]

I live in mississauga....the weather has been pretty cold for the last 5 days.

 

[Chamster]

actually just the first two.....


what do you think about him though????

 

[Elizadolots]

Sleeping pictures, while lovely, don't really give a lot of info, at least in my opinion. They tend to look cute and good when sleeping.

Chamster, this board is probably more serious than what you are accustomed to. I find the level of experience and knowledge to be amazing. People who've dedicated years or decades of their lives to learning about a particular animal aren't likely to appreciate posts that are "untrue" even if it was an attempt at humor.

I think you need to consider that when posting.

 

[ChamFreak]

I noticed sleeping too. I hope that was in the night.

can he even walk on that branch? looks super close to top of encloser'

Just my 2 cents and I am nobody, dont have a chameleon if you cant provide the proper care for him.
Feeding your feeders crap is basicly going right into your cham! I feel like he's homeless eating outta a trash can!

Just my input
