My sister's boyfriend is having me watch his 5 yr old male Beardie for a week. When I checked him, it was huge, and the cage he is in is tiny. Right then and there I said wow, I gotta move this guy in a much bigger tank.
Would it be chill if I relocated him to a plastic bin/tub? Like a cricket tub?
He said he saw him eat sands before, not sure but why keep sand in his home if it can get in his mouth? Impaction is not a cool thing for any species...
His back legs look retarded, MBD without a doubt.
His eyes are messed up, can barely locate a bug, he has to be closely hand fed.
I feel horrible, he said his dad painted his back with pink nail polish?! I told him to punch his dad in the love sack, this really makes me disgusted!!
Not only does this cute animal have horrible eye sight, messed up legs, a pink line on his back, but has no room to walk around in for over a year?! I kept my cool, he is my sister's NEW boyfriend, but I really wanted to get thru his head come to me before you ever buy anything. Meeting so many awesome people online, connecting with a lot of you on face book, I got to really know so much more about you guys and what else you guys do besides chameleon stuff.
Anyways... I'll post a few dozen pictures if I have to! At least 4 to start.
He has a coiled uvb light, I told him this is was most likely messed his eyes up, or NO? I know it does with chams...
No supplementations? The way he answered "we sometimes sprinkle calcium" made me think he made that up because he didn't want to make everything seem worse... But who knows, no good uvb will do horrible things to most herps.
What should his supplement schedule be like?
I don't use rep cal without vitamin D3 but I can buy it, I'm sure it will be around the pet co. I follow screameleon's supplement guidelines and Vince told me he doesn't use rep cal without Vitamin D3, so I don't do that with my panthers....
I use rep cal herptivite for my chams and have that stuff too if that is good for him.
Not sure if he is even a he, I am taking his word for it.
I could get him in a huge bin, he brought over some brand new rocks he got from a pet store, unopened... Should I place those in there for Spike? That's his name lol.
I have dubia, I have one little group, maybe 300 of them, that feed on cricket crack and fresh veggies, that a good gut load for this guy?
