Common misconception. They do have venom but it doesn't bother humans. That started because they eat black widows so people started thinking they must be even deadlier.
@jamest0o0 we are referring to the spider Pholcus phalangioides. Which does have venom and was tested on Mythbusters episode 13 - "Buried in concrete" they said it did inject them but the level was insignificant to humans. I'm not a scientist so I could be very wrong but I wanted to be clear...
I have not seen them eat spiders. I'm sure they do but for me I don't let them touch bugs in the house or walking around outside since we spray for insects.
Just buy a feeder cup from full throttle feeders and put it in the cage. It keeps the bugs in one spot and no need to take the cham out. I'm fine with you holding your cham but your comment about "you people" felt like a jab at the forum. Do whatever works for you as long as the safety and...
Yeah they tend to go for headshots on bees and stuff then crunch them quickly. I actually try to put them around bees when I see them. I read the pollen and stuff can be really good for them.
I'm good with earthquake. Didn't even feel it. Haha. Was driving though. Our homes are well built for this stuff now days. Japan seems to get the bad ones. I'll take earthquakes over tornados and hurricanes any day of the week.
Like is said earlier make sure she has access to as much as she wants until she is about 5 months old then reduce but for now as many as she will go through. Mine would take 20 or more down easily. Don't hold her back.
Ok fair enough. Like I said I just wanted to help. For me I didn't want to waste money on grow up cages. Any healthy chameleon is built to hunt for food. In the wild they would all die if they needed a small area with supplied food.
When mine were babies (female still does) they would eat about 20 appropriate sized crickets. I would keep them available 24/7 and keep track of how many and how fast they would go through them. Make sure they are gutloaded properly as this stage of life is critical to the rest of their life. If...
You can get the adult cage now. You don't need grow up cages. You can either block off part of it if your worried about the size or just let them enjoy the whole thing.
Look up chameleon breeder podcasts and he talks about caging and how you can go straight to the adult cage. Honestly that's...
She looks healthy but the vet will know best. Keep an eye on the humidity and temp very close. Is there no store near by that you can get the cage sooner?
