Yay! 🥳 Did she cover her hole completely?
Do please make sure to read my blog on how to reduce the number of eggs she lays and frequency. It works! My veiled girls stopped laying altogether. My old girl Stella last laid in early spring of 2022 and my panther cutie Kali has never laid.
I like the shooting gallery, but that won’t work for solid sides/doors. However, one of these https://framschams.com/collections/screen-feeders should as they use strong magnets. You would have to hot glue a small piece of screening (or plastic canvas) inside it for the bugs to climb. Place it...
Here is my blog on laying. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/veiled-chameleon-laying-101.2488/
I’m also in Florida…space coast. My favorite vet was in Orlando and just retired a couple of months ago. There is another vet, who I hear is awesome and has lots of experience with chameleons. He...
Hi. It looks like she has a lot of eggs in there. When she is digging, do you go near her at all? Is she able to see anyone? If so, that can cause her to stop digging. They need absolute privacy. Although she has laid successfully for you twice before, I don’t want to assume anything. Is she...
Ugh! I had replied about supplements but then must have gotten called away by work and never posted. :rolleyes: Anyhow, just want to FYI - I have PM’d OP and hopefully we can get his guy sorted out.
Finding someone that can care for him in your home is best. Check with nearby vets - often the vet techs will pet sit as a side gig. Even though they may advertise only sitting cats and dogs, pet sitters who advertise may agree. Also check with pet/pet supply stores. Often employees are looking...
Wow! I love that enclosure! You’ve set it up beautifully too! 🥰 I do agree that more branches or vines will be appreciated by your handsome guy. I like using natural branches and if the lichen doesn’t come off from a little wash/scrub, it gets to stay and I love how it looks. Having a variety of...
Hi. Yup…that’s how our veiled friends do. 😂 Even though he may never be nicer or like you, it is important to build and then maintain trust with him. This is a great blog in that. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/building-trust-with-your-chameleon.2396/
I have a male veiled who was wild...
But this leaves the question of why his tongue isn’t working. Unless he’s much older than about 2, and hasn’t suffered any injury, his tongue should be working without problem.
Let’s do this as simply as possible. What uvb are you using? What is the brand? What is the size (T8 or T5)? What is...
FYI - silver sulfadiazine is by prescription only. Using a q tip is probably the easiest way to put a dab of anything on that. Crickets are just nasty buggies.
If you happen to have any silver sulfadiazine, you can put a small dab on it. Plain neosporin (without pain reliever) can also be used. It should heal up fine, but do keep an eye on it just in case.
When feeding crickets, unless you are certain that she has eaten every one of them and none have...
I’m not sure wild anoles recognize mealworms as a food at first. I’m not really sure what their wild diets consist of, but I’d guess it’s more like beetles, flying things, crickets, maybe ants and things that move more. Whenever I catch one that’s in poor shape from being trapped in my house, I...
This should help you to be able to gauge if your chams are getting a bit chubby.
I don’t see anything concerning in the pics you posted. Both Rogue and Millie look healthy to me. :)
Just want to suggest swapping something else for the cucumber and iceberg…both are fantastic for hydration but lack nutritional value. One of my bug diet staples is squash…yellow summer squash (Or zucchini) is enjoyed by all my bugs. I also always have butternut squash. Try various greens...
