So as stated in a previous post, this is my first chameleon ever. And I am just trying to stay ahead of any issues I see posted here continuously(been creeping in the background awhile). This little dude whom my 3yr old decided to name Bug has been awesome so far. First shed went smoothly, I...
Took him out for some natural rays. Hopefully he stays this sociable and easy to handle. So far he hasn't panicked with me feeding him, the misters kicking on, he's drank and eaten infront of me. Stayed pretty calm while in transport from enclosure to magnolia tree outside. And his colors really...
Yeah. So this care has some issues and you should double check some of your tips.
To the guy with the humidty issues. One problem you have is those cheap gauges are junk, and you honestly can't trust them at all. Spend a little, save a herps life potentially. Herps are not, and have never been...
Carrying eggs or not. Seperate them. She could not be carrying. Merely stressed and bullied because she's being house with a male, who may be trying to constantly breed.
When I bought him yesterday he was showing now signs of shed. Within just a few hrs he started. Snapped this picnof him looking irritated getting it off, and he's nearly done. He was definitely showing the best coloring yesterday out of the group, so I'm excited to see how he colors up as he grows.
Don't disregard good advice.
The fact he suggested more than a 10g is a huge plus to me. They need separated immediately. And I wouldn't bother incubating the eggs unless you already have buyers lined up. Leopard geckos are some of the most overbred and under cared for species on the market...
Not really. I had my colony for like 2 years, and just kept a decent amount of beetles around. Never really did much in the way of timing growth rates or how long it took to actually see babies.
I had a pretty large colony of superworms for a long time. They are pretty simple. Just need some way to separate the superworms so they feel comfortable and will pupate. Individual cups, or just a large container of peat moss, something they can burrow into and be alone. Beetles will pop up...
Up to 95° at the hottest spot. Tapering off into the low 70s at the bottom half of the enclosure. Different temps to catch uvb aswell. Plenty of choices for thermoregulation. Reptisun 5.0 HO along 2/3 of the enclosure. Monsoon with 3 nozzles set to mist every 5hrs. Screen top and very large...
Picked this little guy up today. Wanted something a little bigger, but the larger were all females. And I didn't want to go with a female my first go around with chameleons. All the chams were very active, a few were in mid shed, and none seemed dehydrated. Anyways here the little guy is.
