Hi everyone. I'm looking for a 36x18x36" screen cage other than the exo terra one. I've heard the exo terra one doesn't have an actual bottom, just the tray, and that insects can easily squeeze between the tray and the side of the cage and escape. This would be a big problem for me because I...
I'm so sorry to hear that. :( And putting a frog and a cham together sounds like a terrible idea but who knows, you're the one who's actually done it and it seems to work out great for you.:)
Impaction is a real thing and is a very serious concern with reptiles. Going off of the Jacksons topic for a second, you need to get your Leo off of sand asap if you just drop the insects in the cage. Leopard geckos are from a desert but not a desert like the Sahara. They are on rocky terrain in...
She may not be getting the proper hydration she needs. The humidity shouldn't drop into the 40s, 60%-80% is ideal. You need to be misting her a lot more than what you are. Keep misting three times a day, but you need to be doing it for 3-5 minutes each session. I'd also suggest you get a dripper...
I may be wrong about this but I've heard some insects especially roaches, are pretty resilient to pesticides and can retain them in there gut, and won't die from it unless they ingest it on many occasions. Also, I totally agree with you about the tarantula community. I was told several times...
I don't know where you are but most places where the storm is right now it's around 80 degrees outside. Once the power goes out the ac will obviously be out so your house will be the same temp as outside. So he'll probably be fine without you needing to do anything.
I try never to shop at Petco or Petsmart but a few months ago someone threw out a kitten that was only a few days old (still had ambelical chord attached) and I had to go there every week or so to buy kitten replacement milk. The reptile section broke my heart as all of them were in terrible...
Ok thanks for the info! Do you know anything else I could feed the roaches that contains protein other than gut loading products. If possible I'd like to know exactly what's going into my feeders. But if one of the products you listed earlier is ideal, then I'll happily feed that. Also, what...
lol I had to sneak my animals into a hotel a week ago because of hurricane Harvey. Unfortunately Im not sure how best to transport chameleons as I don't have one yet. Wishing you the best of luck and hoping you, your family, and your belongings escape this disaster unscaved!
I'm definitely not very experienced with chams and I doubt this has anything to do with this problem, but since you bought him from Petco I highly recommend you getting a fecal done to ensure he doesn't have parasites if you haven't done so already.
I don't know what type of roach you were using, but the qualities you described seem to represent dubias. I have found red runners to be quite the opposite of dubias. For one, they are always on the move. That's the main reason I chose to get them. Unlike dubias that will hide or bury in the...
I have heard that Jacksons are more of an intermediate chameleon but I figured as long as I do enough research I would be able to handle one. For hydration and humidity I am planning on having a dripper running all day, a reptifogger coming on many times throughout the day, and I would mist the...
I am hopefully going to be getting my first chameleon (a jacksons) sometime in November. I have already been researching quite a bit in the last few weeks and I think I have their basic care down. However, I still am not sure how often to supplement as it seems that everyone does it differently...
