Caught this lady enjoying her misting session last night, this species seems to love water almost as much as the quads! She's not a very active girl and has picked a perch under the mistking nozzle and within tounge range of the feeder cup, other than a short bask at around 80F each morning...
Try to get home onto a stick instead then transfer him. I wouldn't let him sleep in the free range but it's good you got him one and a big ficus is perfect for that!
So glad it's not a fish tank was just worried by the wording of original post! That's a great start, you have enough plants but could use more horizontal branches or fake vines to give him lots of perches to choose from at different levels in the tank, the top 1/3 looks bare and that's where the...
Gracilior update
These little ones have remained rather camera shy, still swivel on the branch more often than not once I start shooting. I don't handle them except to move outside for sun and they seem to tolerate that ok. Since its been hot they have been inside for the last couole months...
Keeping chameleons on substrates is more on the advanced end of the spectrum. Familiarize yourself with this caresheet it's a good place to start. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/
What size is your tank? Any ventilation other than screen top? Chameleons can be kept in...
7/27 BB babies update
Got the camera out and took a few shots of the little ones after I finished cleaning yesterday and this morning. A few times I got the focus right, wish it was cooler so I could get them some natural sun but forecast is high 90s next 2 weeks. This clutch hatched June...
Haha thanks, I get lucky sometimes and love being out on the water. If your ever in north Florida and wanna get a line wet let me know, great area for nearshore and backwater fishing.
That would be great! I'll let you know when we decide what day we're going, did both last year but not sure if that's on the menu this year with all the babies I have now it's harder to get a night away.
Isn't it fun when our bugs make other bug friends? I came out to my cricket container last week to find about 20 1-2 inch long caterpillars rummaging about, I feed my crickets daily and these things appeared overnight!
This process takes months, sometimes they will never get to that point. I have a young male Panther chameleon that has been with me since 2 months old, he's handfed for 8 months before walking out on my arm the first time on his own. I've got a pair of quads that have handfed since day one but...
Your chameleons are stressed and attempting to flee the giant predator they think is attempting to kill and eat them. These are animals that thrive when we observe them and not force human interaction on them. If hand feeding and gradual trust building is done correctly some can "tame" down to...
I usually try and make it at least one day. We live in Jax so the drive isn't too bad. Have a feeling my girl will be wanting another ball python like last year. Hope to see some more chameleon species represented!
