I had to remove the spagnum moss from both of my panthers cages, because they started eating globs of it. Although moss gives the enclosure that realism factor, you’ll find that the cons outweigh the pros unfortunately. Other than that it looks great. You can purchase some thin wiring and...
My mist king schedule for my 2 panthers:
10:00 am- 2 minutes
1:00 pm- 2 minutes
4:00 pm- 2 minutes
6:00 pm- 2 minutes
I have a little dripper set up to give them water in the afternoon as well. I’ve been able to maintain proper humidity and avoid respiratory infections with this schedule.
It looks great, do you have a dripping system? So long as your cham knows how to self regulate well you should be fine on temps. The top of their spine should be no closer than 6 inches from the heat bulb, uvb distance doesn’t matter. I have one cham thats terrible with self regulating and...
Hey guys, I’m trying to breed hornworms and have several pupa hatching. My question is this, how do I differentiate between the males and females? Do they need to be able to fly to survive? I tried using hummingbird nectar and it killed the last one. Should I just use sugar water?
Hey guys, I have a couple different sites that I go through to order feeder insects but unfortunately neither of them will ship through the weekend. Do you know of anyone who does? If I order it on Friday it would be here Monday/Tuesday
Yes but he can project several inches, he just chooses not to most the time. His tongue is very sticky, more so than my tamatave. I’ve been speaking with the breeder today and apparently he used to drink during every misting.
The brown portion looks normal, the urate is white with tints of yellow but mostly white. It’s very runny though, the urate splats when it hits the ground. My tamatave’s poo comes out in a nice secure package and doesn’t splat. He also has clear liquid that he pushes out as well, which from what...
He does seem to be a lot more active in his enclosure. Should I be worried? I’m considering driving him to Seattle, the vets in eastern Washington don’t seem to know much about chameleons. That’s going to be about a $400.00 trip though, so I want to make sure that it’s absolutely necessary. Do...
Lindasgonebuggy.com. Great deals. If you order on Sunday, you’ll receive it wed. General rule of thumb, never order feedersThursday-Saturday, you won’t receive them until the following week. Most suppliers only ship out on Monday and Wednesday. Always take care of your ordering early on in the...
I’ve had my ambilobe for about 3 weeks. He eats like a champ (today he ate 4 medium Hornworms) but he loathes water. I haven’t seen him drink since the day we purchased him from the breeder. I took him and my tamatave in for a check up last week and the doc said that he was fine. He still closes...
Thank you guys for the responses. It went back in right after he let it out. Afterwards he at 4 medium sized Hornworms and explored his cage for 2 hours. He’s petrified of water, I don’t understand why. I tried to stealthy spray some in his mouth after he grabbed a hornworm and I think he...
I’ve had my ambilobe for about three weeks now. I’ve suspected that he’s sick because I haven’t seen him drink water. He does however move around a lot and eat a ton of hornworms. I took him to the vet, and the vet said that he’s fine since he’s eating well. He did prescribe some eyedrops and...
I only order my silks from Morifeeders, any other distributor that I’ve purchased them from doesn’t work out. The worms die two days after I get them (and silkworms aren’t cheap). I don’t know what morifeeders does to their chow, but the silks that I get from them are very resilient. They have...
I asked for the eye drops, they’re called Ceragyn Eye Drops. He ended up prescribing some probiotics to my tamatave (because he’s take antibiotics in the past) which is a powder called Harrison’s Fauna Flora. Doc said that it wouldn’t hurt to give it to both of them. Nimbus is out climbing all...
That’ll work, just make sure to maintain humidity and proper basking temperature (Remember to always keep Him 6 inches away from the heat bulb). I order most of my stuff off of Amazon, Cheapest option so far. You’re going to want that automatic misting system, especially if you’re planning on...
I only have a couple things to add, Make sure that your Chamaeleon is always 6 to 8 inches away from his basking bulb as he will burn easily. Additionally, the humidity in his terrarium needs to stay around 65%. You can maintain this by using an automatic misting system (mist king is gold...
Yes, this is my Ybbb ambilobe. We just got him two weeks ago and his behavior has been strange so I took him into the vet. Apparently nothings wrong with him. The vet prescribed some eyedrops and said that I need to be more intentional about keeping him in the heat
