Digital pimp hard at work. O.K. I don't know if this is acceptable forum etiquette but after a few searches... clearly I'm not the only one.
So, I got this girl who is showing all signs of "being ready" I don't know what locale she is. I bought her from a "pet store" that was trying to...
Sorry to hear about your guy... I have the same exact thing going on right now. I had to leave the country for a while and left the cham with someone I thought was responsible enough to take care of him. I have had him in the vet THREE times. I just had the blood work done... couldn't stand...
No... he's not eating on his own yet but he's moving around a whole lot more and his color has returned... no more dark blackish coloring. he pooped today...right in my hand, so the "watery part" ran down my hand and right after that the rest came "bombing out". The funny thing is that I was...
Just to follow up. I kept him well hydrated yesterday, misting him a lot, so much i cant even begin to count. he was very responsive to all the attention and is significantly better today. the misting schedule for today was increased however and he seems better for it.
Thank you all for...
These pictures are from this morning. As you can see they are outside today. I just finished misting them. I took her out just for her photo shoot... now don't get me wrong as soon as the door opens she has to come and see whats going on and will readily crawl right on your hand without...
Ok...OK... I'm sorry I Mis-spoke-typed... I was tired last night. I give them sticky tongue farms outdoor miner-all every day, twice a month they get sticky tongue farms indoor miner-all.
She(Betty Ford) was in his(Walter Cronkite) cage for two days several months ago at least 4 months ago...
Thank you and I do have zoo med's reptivite w/ d3 but stopped using it because of the indoor sticky tongue having d3. I know I "assumed" that the sticky tongue had all of the vitamins as well. So should I start using the reptivite once every two weeks and cut out the sticky indoor d3?
As...
Yes they are in separate cages, I thought they cohabited, until I got her, she was a rescue of sorts, the pet store that had her DID NOTHING for her, she was the only cham they had and was just too much work. She has recovered nicely and is just a sweetheart. However, she lived with him for...
Sorry... i mis-spoke it is the outdoor for every meal. and twice a month of the indoor.
I don't know the basking temp. the lamp is approx three inches off the top of the cage. So i do know he can bask and warm up if to cold.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Male Sambava Panther just over a year old. I've had him sense he was a baby.
Handling - I don't handle him much... until recently. See below
Feeding - Their main diet is good old crickets dusted with sticky tongue farms outdoor calcium powder. about once every...
Wow... thanks I was hoping for a boy(not knocking the girls) but really like the colors the males have. of course I'll be looking for a female later.
... I named him Walter Cronkite when I got him about a month ago... I was just guessing he was a male.
I got him from LLL in Escondido...
I was also thinking the coloring is somewhat helpful in determining that he is a male, because the juvie females I've seen just do have the pronounced vertical bars.
Thanks for all the help... by now on the tarantula forums I would have been flamed for my lack of knowledge and why I'm handling it and even why the bucket in the back is red and not black... not to mention why I'm not using the proper complete Latin name. Really!!!
Thanks again
OK... I know, his first post and he asks what the sex of his cham is...I did a search and there are a thousand sexing posts. So I didn't want to hijack someones thread so I started my own. Here are pictures of my girl?
Thanks for the help
