So, female cham, maybe 1 year old, just laid unfertile eggs last week. The guy I got her from last month would give her 30 crickets about every 3 days. I've changed this up a bit since I want to know exactly how many she eats. I've searched all the blogs and Google but can only come up with the...
Eggs! 50!!
Ok, I removed the bucket, dug 1/2 way down, discovered 50 eggs!!! I still can't believe all of this. Thought she was a male, threw a bucket in there, down she went, out she came, and there you go, 50 eggs. So exciting even though they're not fertile. I'm glad she made it, I'll be...
O.k. cool, I will take it out this evening after she goes to sleep. Thank you very much! By the way, we're changing Wally's name to Beans. Seems that's a girl lizard's name on the Rango movie... (my 11 year old's idea). After watching her do all that work, seems Joan of Ark is more appropriate!
Yes, I would like to leave it in there... but what I wanted to find out is when can I take it out to remove the eggs and rearrange things properly? Is the day after she came out of there too soon? I just don't want to stress her out, but evidently I need to change out my plants and fix up the...
My supposed "male" laid eggs in the 5 gal. bucket.. but when is it o.k. to remove the bucket? They are not fertile, was a last second effort to get it in there since I thought she was a male... so needless to say I need to rearrange everything. When can I take it out and check it out and give...
Help with the liquid calcium now
I picked it up from Petco, but Wally won't open her mouth except to hiss.. I'm not sure if this is going to work. Bottle says a 1/4 tsp. 3 times a week (I assume this is for ones that just laid eggs?) but how the heck do you get them to take it? I also have...
She's finally finished!
So, Wally stayed in the bucket all night, was asleep at 8 am, started digging again at 9 am, went in and didn't come out until about 3 pm and started filling in the hole. She looked like hell, all covered in sand and skinny as all get out...looked like something the cat...
Decidedly female
So she's still in there, she's got a nice tunnel but I didn't moisten it enough for sure. I can only hope she's ok. The other forum discussions on egg laying say that it only takes a few hours? At least someone commented their's was down for 6 hors and the responses indicated...
Male or Female
Thanks very much for the info everyone. I will replace the heat bulb and the tube...especially since there is a question about the tube.
I'll also research the egg laying part. Thank God I found this site and the helpful people on here.
Yes, she's still down there, this...
Male or female
O.k., sounds like I need to change things up a bit. I have too many questions about your response... I've done so much research and things are always different. First off, I ran to the hardware store tonight, got 5 gal. bucket, playground sand, lightly moistened it and stirred...
Male or female
Hope this answers everything:
Veiled chameleon, sex unknown at the moment. 11 months old.
Have owned for 3 weeks. Was told it was male.
Eats about 20 crickets every 3 days if that, just introduced
Mealworms (3 a day) and waxworms (2 a day)
Crickets are dusted with Reptivite...
Male or female
Wow, I just tried to post a huge response with all of the questions answered about my chameleon.. but at the end, it kicked back and said I was not logged in.. what the heck? I'm afraid to try again, it took me forever and had to change my password!
Male or female
Oh my God, you're kidding! So, tell me, how you can tell without seeing the legs..just curious. I will fill out the questionairre soon but have to get over the shock for a minute.. And, what's the deal with a 5 gallon bucket? That seems crazy big. Won't the sand collapse on...
Male or female
Sorry guys, I can't figure out how to attach the photo and don't see any instructions here...oh, there it goes. O.k., don't want to disturb him at the moment because I just finished cleaning his cage.. but here is a general photo from a couple weeks ago. I will have to take a...
Male or female
Thanks for the quick reply..I'll try to figure out how to get a photo on here... He/she is mostly green.. Please tell me the dimensions of the egg laying box that may be needed so I can round something up. I'll go get the right type of sand tomorrow morning. How deep does it need...
Hi, I'm new to this site and would like some help. I have a new veiled, was told it's a male (11 months old) but I cannot see any sign of a "spur on the hind legs at all. Please tell me if there is another way to tell? He's been digging on the bottom of the cage for a week straight. I've only...
