Hello, the temps are around 80F her cage is a repti breeze, I bought the Chameleon kit and I have basic lights set up. I have extra vines and added leaves for her to climb on.
I know I ordered some more branches and a linear bulb I’m waiting on them to arrive could she not be eating because of the lights?
I don't think so, but she could definitely not be eating because she doesnt feel safe due to the lack of places to hide
Thank you so much is it safe to use branches from outside and sanitize them to put into the enclosure
Thank you so much for the help I just want her to be happy and healthy!
just make sure you don't use any chemicals to clean the branches that may be harmful to the cham. Also preferably use branches from a tree that you know is not toxic to chams.
@notxavierward please don’t think I’m blaming you...you honestly had no idea. I just hate that they give people the impression that it is all a chameleon needs, when in actuality very little of it is useful. As has been said, get some branches from outside...avoid pine and other trees that have sap. Wash with dawn or other dish soap, rinse well with a hose, sun dry and they’re good to go. Get yourself a big full pothos plant.Gently wash the leaves and rinse well. Cover the dirt with some stones that are too big for your cham to eat and drape the vines and leaves around to provide her with some shade and hiding spots. Get rid of the Repti carpet...it only becomes a bacteria breeding ground. Bare floor is easiest to keep clean. If you fill out the help form above, someone can help make sure everything else is correct, so that you can enjoy many happy years with your sweet little girl.
If I update my husbandry do you think that she will start to eat it’s been a week and I’m getting very nervous.
Please fill out the form with detail and take new pictures of the enclosure if you have made changes. We will need pics of the baby as well. This will help us narrow down the issues.
Please fill this out so we can make sure everything is right
