I can deal with my situations. My chams, on the other hand, are not capable of voicing their needs or running out to the store or a friend's house to get something. That's why I make sure they are taken care of first, because I can take care of myself with a much larger access to resources
My point exactly. I think it's well worth the money. And sure, we all have budgets, but think about it this way: if you couldn't have access to the proper amount of water to drink or clean yourself with that was filtered, and had to live with humidity conditions that made you feel beyond...
Awwww, the look he's giving your phone makes me laugh but I find it adorable at the same time that he hates it. Beautiful colors! He looks like the sunrise.
I personally prefer MistKing. They have some really great pre-arranged kits for reasonable prices, and I adore the quality. Although Climist was good, I felt like I had less issues with my MistKing systems and, when I did have a problem, it was very easy to find the CORRECT replacement part that...
Make sure its high enough power. Let it sit right on top of the screen and make sure your cham can get close enough to it but is not able to reach the light itself. Also, keep the area dry (free of misting zones).
@opheliaeatsbugs I wish it were that easy. But I don't like to order living creatures off of the internet.....I want to see them for myself before I buy
@opheliaeatsbugs I had him out while I was doing some cleaning in his cage.....usually he just chills out on some open area I have set up but yesterday, for some unknown reason, he decided to go after a nearby decoration and get himself stuck in it :ROFLMAO:
@jajeanpierre They are in fact very fragile and require expert care. As far as temperatures goes, it's not so much that they need a lower temperature, but more that they need a greater difference between their basking and lowest points of comfort. Basking spots should stay between 85-95....lower...
I've cared for plenty of veiled chameleons throughout all life stages, and made plenty of mistakes as well. But, from these mistakes and experiences, I have learned many things and so I will share with you all that you should need....
First off, here are some things that I wish I had know going...
With Panthers, yes it's the bulge at the base of the tail. Often times it may not be apparent until the mid juvenile stages, since it's one of the last things to fully develope. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Males will grow to be bigger than females. Much larger in nature...
@Crashbandit05 yeah I know but I'm not one to take risks....on some occasions I will give grasshoppers or a walking stick if I happen to come across one. I try and stick to captive bred insects though.
I don't know, I tend to avoid feeding my chams anything I find outside, you can never really be sure. Plus, you have no idea what diseases or parasites it could be hosting!
