I thought about this too, t doesnt necessarily have to be an exotic vet or someone with chameleon experience right? Since i would just bring in the poop and they would test it. Or am i wrong?
Also question, i tried and got his weight today, hes 58 grams at around 6 months old, not sure on the...
Closest exotic vet i would actually trust with an exotic animal is quite far so i didnt have fecal done yet. His eyes looks a little sunken in, surely from dehydration from not eating, since i mist the same.. He's definitely not 9 months old yet, more like 6 tops. I put more like shavings from...
I've got my little one for about month and a half now. He got really used to his cage, likes it as far as i know, basks and wanders around from time to time too. He also doesnt mint at all to climb all over me when i let him, possibly wanting to get on the stringy curtains he likes so much for...
Okay so a week or two passed since i got my veiled, not much changed in husbandry if anyone need that info i can copy paste it here just ask. I left him completely alone for the first week and then tried offering him my hand to climb on as well as occasionaly providing him one or two feeders...
The temps are more hot than cold, i have to regilste the heating pad to not get above 30 celsius .. only thing I don't do from what you said is the dry mix, but that shouldn't affect the productivity that much from what i googled.. also 60 was a start, now when i counted them im down to 35 adult...
So I've started my colony in March this year, giving it 6 months to establish. I've stsrted feeding off it recently as i got my little guy just now, and i already see a lack of roaches in there.. I've started with about 60 females and 10 males. Any ideas how i could boost their production rate...
Hello! So, I've found this dropping on the floor of the cage. I can't find the poop part anywhere, it's like it was urates only, and they are pretty long and big overall i think.. is this a cause for concern? Why is it so big 😅 thanks.
He's there only when eating and occasionally here and there for some short while too, but not for long, he still prefers his basking spot. I use T5HO from Arcadia, i believe that's 6% one.
I've tried it today, just put loads in the run feeder and nowhere else, and he ate from it no problem! Only thing is he discovered he can climb on top of the feeder and hunt from there as well, and it's a little bit higher than his basking branch so there's a chance of UVB burn i think.. he...
I've put in about 15 so far, I'll try putting in more and see where that goes. I don't have crickets unfortunately, but I'll try to get some, won't they jump out tho? Right now even if i put roach on a branch and he moves like a tiny little bit, he's all over him.. it's like he doesn't like the...
Thank you haha did my best! I dont have any crickets right now so im stuck with roaches, but they are climbing up and down from time to time, sometimes even stop in the middle so theres plenty of time for him to shot them down. I've thought about not feeding him by tweezers and just put them in...
I've put together a DIY run feeder for him and put it in a nice place, with lots of branches around it to give him any angles he likes. However, he refuses to use it. Roaches run on it up and down when i put them there, but he just looks and ignores them completely. Ignoring other cups too, of...
I try not to, but he seems fine with it, as i said he climbed onto my hand right away by himself so i think he's relatively fine with me. Had to hand feed him one by one, since the smaller roaches didn't move in runner feeder, so maybe he gets used to my hand waving around 😅 thanks for advice...
He's new, third day in and spent last night sleeping on one of the screen sides 😂 so probably just exploring, all lights are raised from top screen as advised here, so all should be alright, just overthinking everything 😅 thanks for confirmation on the grayish color on his head tho! ❤️ I'm...
So, just now my lil guy (still nameless, pls help) started screen climbing and went straight to the top of the enclosure under the lights. He seemed like he didn't know how to get down so i put my hand in and he climbed on it right away!!! So I've given him his very first taxi ride back down to...
One more question, to be sure. What should the day-to-day maintenance be now? Like what to do every day, what every week what every month etc...? just to have it all summed up here. Thanks!
