I’ve actually heard of people doing this and then reinforcing it with aluminium mesh on the inside as well for better humidity and to better keep feeder insects in (if you free range feed).
More mucus is usually a sign.
But from what my doc told me, another sign is the coloration (which is why I said SOMETIMES the urate shows, cuz you can’t always use this test).
If the color is an orange, pink, or red and there’s no mucus strains in the mouth indicating dehydration, there’s a...
Look, all I’m gonna say is this.
I was giving advice that was given from my specialist, just as you were giving advice from yours.
Never downed Petr. I’ll look more into him.
But, I did nothing different than what you did. Suggest advice based off a specialist.
I never once said they NEED a...
Ok well instead of following random people’s advice, I’ll still follow my personal specialists. Thanks.
Y’all suggested from a specialist. I suggested from mine. That was constructive criticism. I was never rude or anything.
And another thing, I never said literally shower your chameleon. I...
I’m giving advice from my personal years of experience too
And advice that’s based off of a bunch of other research that I provided links in a separate post for as well.
It’s not so much an opinion as it is what I’ve seen as FACT.
And again, I’ll always give advice that my PERSONAL CHAMELEON...
Just because I’m a new member on here doesn’t mean I’m new to this type of care.
And I’m pretty sure the definition of the word “negligent” has nothing to do with giving advice.
I’m not sure what exactly you’re asking.
If you’re asking how to tell if a chameleon is stressed, you can tell by the colors, sometimes the urate, and their behavior.
Oh, I never meant it to be a review. Sorry!! I didn’t even know that was a rule anyways. But, I will definitely say something to BOI. Thanks for suggesting that!!!
And thank you for all this info! Yeah, I even asked for their biologists name and credentials and they completely ignored the...
I understand not pointing fingers, especially since he didn’t have the infection as soon as you got him.
I think it’s pretty ironic though that multiple people, not just you and I though, have come forward complaining about this eye infection to CB Reptile.
They do nothing but send you a...
Just gonna jump in super quick and throw in something.
So my boy got sent to me with a major eye infection.
Many issues that I have even heard other complaints about are just poor breeders/previous owners.
Not at all trying to bash these people, but I will call out CB Reptile. That’s where I...
Along with what you said, which I 100% agree, I think chameleons are such sensitive creatures and each one needs just slightly different needs.
All reptiles are high maintenance. Chameleons DEFINITELY being the most high maintenance. And like you said, there isn’t a lot of scientific funding...
@bloftis1 i actually have a question now that you say this.
So my boy REFUSES to eat any earlier than 4:30 pm. His light times are from 9:45-9:45 during the day. Is feeding him at this time enough for him to digest still?
Wow!!! That’s a nice one.
I mean I do not know pricing in other regions like I do mine so yeah, it may be cheaper get one of the designer ones.
But either way, I think that one is super cool.
Awww! I’m so sorry. I’d die if it was that expensive here:unsure:
I mean either way, based on how some of the designer cage makers cost their cages, I still feel like a diy would be cheaper.
honestly, for any cham, I love the idea of diy cages. I’m considering doing one for my male veiled.
You can go to Walmart and get mesh wire lining and a few wooden planks that can be cut for size all together and build the thing for $30-$50 (at least around here in Indiana it would be that...
I don’t even care about the shower part as I do about the increased humidity.
I’ve seen nothing but suggestions on increased humidity, even by my own vet who for the millionth time I will say is a lifelong CHAMELEON SPECIALIST.
I can understand if at times a shower may be too much as too much...
