Hey there! Great to ‘see’ you and glad that you’re doing well. Ugh! Brumation! 😩 Surprisingly my Spike didn’t brumate this year. He finally discovered head bobbing early last year and that’s pretty much all he does since then. All of my chams and others are doing great.
Obligatory pic of Spike...
Poor sweet guy. I wish they would just stop selling animals altogether. Pet food and supplies is a booming multibillion dollar business and they don’t need to sell animals. It’s wonderful that they do have the rescue cats and occasionally dogs every now and then, but they need to stop with all...
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen cage that I put plastic wrap around the sides to help with humidity because its winter. I am hoping that you have left the door, or at least the lower section of at least one screen panel without plastic for proper ventilation. I have a 16x16x30, it was what I had...
I talk a lot, so am breaking this into two sections.
Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon, not sure about his age. I have have him for two weeks I’m going to take a guess that he’s maybe around 5 months or so, based on the size of his casque.
Handling - Rarely/Never It’s always good to...
Got back from the vet a little bit ago with good news for my little girl. Her bump was some sort of trauma or wound that had been trying to heal, but had hard gunk blocking it. They cleaned it out and put a dab of silver sulfadiazine and said the spot should be able to heal up now. I have to...
As long as the pet stores are making money, nothing will change. While they do make a small amount from selling the animals, they probably make the bulk from selling the supplies for them. It doesn’t matter that the supplies are all wrong. I’m sure they’ve done their research and it’s found that...
You’ve gotten some great help already. I just want to add that bee pollen has (anecdotally) caused problems in veileds. Some have gotten gular edema and one of mine had gotten an intermittent puffy eye, which went away as soon as I stopped the pollen. While it is super healthy and something they...
Wow! That’s going to be pretty! I’ve never converted anything but there are a good number of those who have and posted about it. There’s lots of enclosure build threads that you can search the archives for. I can tell you that you will need to waterproof the inside with a product that is safe… I...
:unsure: Not really sure why he’d be doing this. Maybe he’s got the winter funk? Is there something new in the room or his enclosure that might be spooking him? Even maybe something like hanging a red shirt on the back of a chair near him? (Most don’t like red) Was he able to see the anole? Look...
I’m sorry. 😢 You tried and gave him a chance, but it’s difficult with wild animals and ones so small and fragile. He was probably already going into organ failure when you found him. You gave him care and warmth and a peaceful passing. 💗
Hi and welcome. :) You’ve resurrected quite an old thread…from 2011! There can be different reasons why your guy may be digging - he may be a she, may not like his enclosure, has seen a stray crickets or other bug in the substrate, etc etc. To better try to help you figure it out, can you post...
