All the vets are closed that accept reptiles.. :/ I guess the only thing to do is wait till Monday. Perhaps get her some pain meds.
If the leg was amputated, would that be alright? Has anyone heard of 3 legged Chameleons?
Hi everyone,
Currently in the search for available vets, but wanted to get any opinions here. My chameleon fell and got tangled into a little net in her cage. I'm assuming maybe she broke her leg or cut her circulation off, and now I'm scared the leg will have to be amputated.
When I got...
So I made a container of dirt-ish stuff for her to dig in and make eggs. Does this look right? It's at least 8 inches and there's no plants or anything, so she can clearly see that she might be attracted to digging there.
The thing is, I haven't seen her really even touch it yet.
Thanks...
Hi there,
Pascala, my chameleon, is looking somewhat fat. Her stomach kind of bulges, but maybe it was just the angle I was looking at. I know she'll eventually need to lay eggs, but I don't really know the signs. She's about 10 months old. I have a potted plant, and not sure if that's...
Hi Stephanie, I'm Kenny! Nice to see such a nice person on here! :D I really like it when the community is super friendly. I'm somewhat new to cham forums as well. I love my little chameleons too! ^_^ I sent you a friend request! (I think, haha)
I've found that on trips the cage shakes a lot, so I usually let my chameleon crawl around on me. If you're alone, and someone can't help watch your chameleon, then stick to the cage. I've used a small 1 gallon fish tank with mesh top. But I mostly let her climb around in the car. I don't worry...
Thanks guys! I guess I will eventually be removing the soil and substrate, re-pot the plants in a pot, and leave the bottom empty. I think that would be a much better way of keeping things clean, and eventually maybe move to an all mesh cage or something.
Thanks again for everyone's input! :D
Wow, thanks for all the replies!
To those that used an exo terra viv at some point, did you just have potted plants and you put them in the cage? And did water ever build up at the bottom from misting or did your plants have a bowl below the plant to catch the drainage?
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
So I have a little bit different setup (that many like to voice their 2 cents about), but I have an exo-terra cage therefore it has substrate in the bottom. Now the thing is, and most people must have this problem, my chameleon poop is building up. It's hard to get to some areas...
Hi everyone,
I recently got a nice Mist King mister and re-did my chameleons cage. Put a new live plant in (an umbrella) and new substrate down. It's been about a week or so now, and I see little tiny stems rising from the surface of the bottom with little heads on them. I'm fairly certain...
I've included some pictures. I came home today, and my poor chameleon's tail looked different than when I had left her earlier in the day. Her tail is brownish and flat.
As you can hopefully see in my bad quality photos, nearly a centimeter of the end of her tail is messed up. I've done a...
Hi everyone,
I was curious, since ferns produce spores, are they really okay in a chameleon cage? They're a great plant at taking a lot of water.
Also, any primary live plant suggestions? I'd like a primary plant that has a decent stalk my cham can climb all over and up to the top of the...
Hi Everyone,
I am preparing a new home for my veiled, Pascala. I know many of you might complain that I got an Exo Terra, but I has ventilation and I've already bought it, so I'm not here to talk about that, but planting the bottom. Thank you for your friendly responses! :)
I will be creating...
Thank you, reptilover! Your information is very helpful. For the sand, did you just use playsand? I'm sure that part doesn't matter too much.
Thanks Txherp, I will certainly check there! :D
Hi everyone,
I'm getting a big, new cage to hold my lovely chameleon and would like to put some live plants in it, but I have a couple of questions.
1. My first concern is, do I re-pot the plant, using some other kind of soil? I don't want any kind of dangerous soil to hurt her.
2...
of course i was attacked on a post once by people telling me i was a bad owner and a horrible person for buying a panther and selling my veileds and it upset me a lot i actually stayed away from the forum for a while because of it so i know what its like and its mean for people to judge others...
