Where to look for safe fake plants

[ERKleRose]

Also make sure her bigger cage has tons more branches, vines, and live plants, if not adding some more to her current cage now, too

Yes will do! This is it right now

Better! But I would replace the Exo Terra vines ASAP! They’re known for debris falling off and can get trapped and cause damage to a chameleon’s eye if they scratch their eye or face on the branch while shedding or something else.

Oh no I just put some in what ones do you recommend

Vines of real plants, Fluker’s or Zoo Med fake vines, and/or using more branches to compensate for taking out those vines

Okay- in the meantime, should I take out these ones, or wsit until the new ones come in? My cham is back in her cage. Unfortunately I couldn’t get her out while putting theses ones in and she did get a little stressed.

Your choice. I’d personally take them out just in case, but if she’s already really stressed, you could leave them in for a day or two I guess, just really watch her and the vines closely if you do.

Okay so I’m getting a little nervous.. the only (big) change I’ve made to the cage is the pothos.. yesterday she was sleeping by 5 (but her usual bedtime is 7). Today and yesterday she’s spent her time on the lower half of the cage branches, and I haven’t seen her bask. She’s been dark. She has been moving around, but I haven’t seen her bask. It’s 5 right now for me, and she looks like she’s tucked in for bed, but eyes still open. Is this a vet visit? Or am I over worrying

Has she laid eggs yet? Take a picture of the cage now with lights.

Yes she has. She did in early December

 

[Gabriellehernandezxxx]

Yes she has. She did in early December

She’s eaten some of the plant, which is the only thing I’ve noticed that maybe could have done something

 

[Beman]

Yes she has. She did in early December

How many did she lay then? Pothos would not cause issues. What is the other plant?

Was she actually asleep or just in sleeping spot?

Any temp changes in the last 48 hours?

She laid 45 eggs. She was asleep, and I just checked now (4:50pm) and she’s shut her eyes for bed. There have not been any temp changes in the last 48 hours
