Well it is very stressful to be shipped and the older a baby is the less fragile. You should ask about date of birth as a decent breeder will know! They should never be taken from the clutch before three months. By interacting with their siblings they learn to hunt better and move faster and...
I am so sorry for your loss. He was sick when sent and the stress of the shipping then new envirornment was too much for the little guy. You need to contact backwater. My breeder had a 30 day guarantee and i had him shipped from ny to ca. it is doubtful they do if they are unscrupulous breeders/...
Well something is going on with the right lower leg. All the white in the xray near the ankle is edema. prevents mw from seeing bones well. Maybe a torn ligament? Btw collarf greens are really good for chams.
If you get a small chameleon,dont buy a small cage. Start off with a 2'x2'x4' or you sill waste money. They will grow into it fast enough. Vieleds double in size every two weeks when they are young. Dont buy one younger than four months old if it is going to be shipped and no younger than three...
Other than pathos, i really like the swiss cheese plant. I dont know the formal name of it, but i have had good long term results with it and they offer good shade and have strong stalks.in one cage i have it planted right in the bottom as it is a partial bioactive cage and the other cage i...
Handsome guy you got there. looks like his casque is crooked so he has got some sort of deficentcy going on. Let us know what the vet says. The best of luck to you both!
Omg i meant to say as long as the room temp does not go below 55 all is good. I see you figured the pics out. Unfortunately, veileds eat plants so the fake ones have to go. Flukers makes good vines. Those rubber ones dont hold up in the heat and can break apart leaving things for your cham to...
Hello and welcome. The blue heat light has to go asap. Red and blue light can damage the eyes. A plain 60-75watt basking bulb is good. I light having a dimmer switch on the it so i can adjust the light instead of the heigth of the basking area. Put your temp gauge right near the area of basking...
Can we see some pics please? When u see the doc on the 10th ask for syringes with and wirh oit the needle. A good way to get liquid calcium down him is to put it in a syringe without the needle and when he opens his mouth to hiss at it, shoot it to the back of his mouth. The openings to his...
Perfect. I just shared this with my sister who moved to florida. she is affraid of them so i hope thus will help ease her fear. As i lived there for a long time i know geckos are everywhere and they need to be to keep the bug popukations under control. They are also very curios. Had one in my...

The oNe good thing about mealworms is they are cheap and will last for a long long time if refrigerated. I always have a container with 250 in my frig. If a shipment of crickets gets delayed, i have a live supply of mealworms on hand to cover me. Wax worms and meal worms i consider treats and...
First, you can inject any med into a hornworm and fed it to your cham. A lot of meds tend to deydrate so it will help with that too. For cleaning, i use 2% chlorhexidine gluconate. this can be watered down 1oz (2tbls) with 1 gallon of water for big cleanings or i use one tabkespoon added to a...
I have a female panther named Rosie that I rescued. I dont know her exact age but she laid 10 eggs about a month after i got her and in the five months i have had her she has only grown one inch. She is now 6 1\2 inches long. If all the females stay this petite how do they mate with the bigger...
