I would agree with all thats been said. Test have shown 40% lost in UVB projection through flexariums. And the florescent tubes will slowly start to lose it's UVB radiation output after the first 15 minutes of use. I would recommend buying a UVB meter, this will ensure maximum use of your tube...
I agree with whats been said by everyone, dehydration. I had that problem with my first chameleons a few years back, now they are fine. Definitely seek an experienced vet! I say this because inexperienced vets will go through things like x-ray, blood sample, injections etc all in 1 visit. And...
Hi, My UVB Tube is only 1 month old. As the old one was under warranty and stopped working, so I has it replaced. The vet cleared the infection problem forme, took x-rays and gave injections. I didn't want my chameleon to suffer or be in pain.
Very different. Although maybe new chameleon keepers might find them a bit odd. Black patches and all. I'm happy for you to beable to breed new morphs. Keep us posted in the future.
I have read that Velied are intense basking chameleons. They will bask under the sun even when the ambient temperature (eg. srrounding temp) is around 90. As long as they are not too close to the light to inflict burns, he'll be ok.I keep my light at about 20-25cm away from the basking spot. And...
No, the female can't see the male when inside her enclosure. I've just seen her change to another colour now, Is she ovulating? The photo doesn't show the colours too much. But shes starting to get some lateral picky, fadey white bars. And also showing more orange colour than usual.
Do you have any photos of your setup? I would like to see more of your housing details. I am sorry with my previous suggestions, it's just the way you describe things. These were the first answer appropriate answer I could give.
Thanks Char man, I really do love this chameleon.
She is CB and I have had her since 4-5 weeks old. My friend's friend breeds them. I use Rep Cal Phosphorous free Calcium with vit d3. This was recommended to me by alot of breeders. I use on juveniles everyday and on grown-ons 2-3 times a...
Hi,
How long have you had your cham? and you are sure it's a male? I have 2 male velied, 1 which is about 2yrs old and the other about 3-4 months old. The adult male I have only does this when he's wanting out of his cage, because he's used to sharing a bigger cage with my female velied. He...
Hi,
I have a (Sambava) Female Panther Chameleon and I'm not sure if she is ill or not. She is very hand tamed and loves being with me. She is only 4-5 months old. She is housed in an Exo-Terra 24"w x 24"h x 18"d. Temp being 25c on the cool end and 30c at the other end. She eats very well, and...
