OK, so as some of you know, I got a baby Veiled a few weeks ago. When I bought him at the pet store, he was a tiny little guy, and I could see his ribcage. He was also very stressed and didn't eat for about 2 days when I first got him.
Since then, I have upgraded his cage in crazy ways. He has...
So a Climate is way worse than a MistKing in your opinion.......
Either way, it's a substantial amount of money for something you can do with a spray bottle if you're home....
I believe you...and no, I wasn't forcefully scratching skin off of my chameleon, so I don't want that interpretation. I was, in fact, providing the same function that would have been achieved in nature. Instead of her scratching herself on a branch or vive, I simply provided my finger.
Also, in...
Gotcha. Although I wouldn't call this a stressful experience for the chameleon...she actually enjoyed it (I didn't do too much, just allowed her to rub against my finger as opposed to the branches in her cage). I only use the term "bonding" because that is what the forums refers to a lot when...
Which I searched....I understand the eye closing thing (which I didn't search, since that was only a brief moment), but I did search the "rubbing against me like a cat", and didn't really see much for that.
Care to explain that behavior?
I'm not equating it to "affection"...I'm equating it to...
First off "buddy", I have shown nothing but being open and receptive towards feedback and posts here, since this is my first chameleon, but I am no child and most likely have A LOT more experience with reptiles than you. Secondly, I would have been open to you "advice" if you two had given...
Care to fill me in? I mean, the Chameleon was definitely rubbing against me, and it's color was not in any way changing to "stressed", in fact...it was quite obvious she was enjoying this.
I know! I wasn't expecting this at all. When it was all said and done, I helped her remove most of her shedding skin, and she fell asleep on me while it was happening. I did this for over 2 hours lol! I think I just established a very good trust moment with him/her....
the cutest part was when...
He is going through shedding, was extremely stressed and pacing his cage, rubbing against everything. So, I took him out, and he was very nervous at first.
I started to gently scratch him, and after about 1/2 hour, he started closing his eyes and rubbing against my fingers, quite hard, like a...
OK, this is my baby Chameleon's first shedding. I've owned 50 or so other reptiles (from anoles and iguanas to boa's and turtles), so I am very familiar with shedding.
But my chameleon seems stressed out? He is non-stop moving around his cage, and is a dark coloration. Is this normal? Do...
jajeanpierre-----I completely agree, they do need more, but if he is gone for a few days, worried about misting while away, I would set my mister to 2-3 times a day while away, so the reservoir doesn't run out while he's away.
Plus, don't mind me....I have a Veiled, and live in FL. There are...
