Hi and welcome. 🙂 That’s a significant amount of edema, so a vet visit is a good idea to make sure your girl is healthy. It’s always a good idea to take a fresh poo for parasite testing also…even if she had a negative result previously. Do you by chance use bee pollen at all? Anecdotally that...

Very handsome! I’m a total sucker for those blues. 🥰

Yes, you want warm dry days (ideal humidity range 30-50%) and cool humid nights. It simulates a way of natural hydration like they would get in the wild. If you aren’t able to achieve a cool enough temp at night, it’s ok not to fog. It sounds like Fridolyn is going to have the best life with you. 💗

I’ve got to ask…so does that mean that the eggs were successfully fertilized?

Hi and welcome to you and Fridolyn. So very glad to meet you. 🙂 Fridolyn is a very beautiful and healthy looking young man. Your humidity level at 43% is perfect. Regarding using a humidifier or fogger, this is done at night but only if your temps are below at least 21c. I do notice that the...

Wow! I had no idea it was so fast!

Hi. 🙂 Never having bred any chameleons, I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to your question. However, I would think it would probably be a matter of a couple or few weeks. From some videos I’ve seen, the females do seem to flash gravid coloration to males not long after mating. Gravid...

The month is almost half gone already! Let’s see some more entries! I’m pulling mine from way way back. 😊

Because of the growth of mold and that you found a poo, I’m going to advise that you do a lot of work which is a total pain in the butt…take down completely your current bioactive, sanitize the enclosure fully before redoing. Once all is sanitized, you can redo, but I’d like to guide you in a...

Yay! 🥳 Wormy feeders are always well loved by even the pickiest of eaters. Silkworms are terrific staple feeders with nutritional content close or equal to roaches (as I was told by a chameleon vet/breeder) plus good for hydration too.

While dehydration may have played a large role in your girl’s passing, I’m unconvinced that it was the sole reason. There had to have been something else going on…maybe biological defect. Without having had a full necropsy, the question will go unanswered. So, to provide the very best start for...

While it’s near impossible for me or even you to have 100% of the details, based on what you’ve said, I don’t really see anything jumping out at me which would prove fatal in just a period of a couple of weeks. The biggest areas I see that could potentially contribute are: hydration - was she...

My feedback will be in bold. - 36 x 24 x 18, glass cage on all sides except for top and one of the smaller sides. The smaller side - I assume is screened, but is it the entire side or just a small part of it? - humidity was 90% during the night and I believe would go down to 30% during the day...

I’m so sorry that your little lady passed away. I’ll go thru your husbandry, but I do have some questions. Do you have any photos of her in her last days? How old was she? Had you ever taken her to a vet or had done any fecal testing for parasites?

He is gorgeous! I’m so glad you got everything sorted out. 🥰
