I put a fake bending vine the pet store told me to buy before I knew better and put it from the lay in to her cage. Hopefully that decreases the amount of stress from transferring and will post pictures when she climbs back into her cage. (I will of course remove it and close her cage up when...
Okay I will definitely cut back. She is very hard to handle at this point. She flat out attacks the stick I used to move her to the bin this morning. I thought that transferring her to the bin with a stick would be better because hates my hands. I don’t blame her they must look huge. She doesn’t...
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am going to get her a bigger bin today. I do think she will be less stressed with more coverage in the lay bin and it is a good idea to ensure she has access to lay for the next couple days especially since I am new at this. I did get a pet cam and will...
Thank you for taking the time to answer me. Her basking spot runs from 82-85 and the rest of her cage is 72 (bottom) - 80. I have been giving her as many feeders as she will eat but over the past couple days she has decreased and only typically eats 3 (med) - 6 (small). I feel better knowing her...
My male Carpet Chameleon is actually in a 4 x 2 x 2 it has much deeper substrate and not so many plants planted on the bottom. I could switch them cages so she would have no reason to have to come out of her cage to go in a separate lay bin. I just don’t want to do that until I hear from someone...
Sorry after I told Frank my plan he said it was correct. I’ve never had a chameleon that laid eggs before so maybe I’m jumping the gun. She doesn’t look fatter than she was before And from all the pictures I see of other types of chameleons they look like they’re obviously gravid.
I have a bioactive cage with a deep enough substrate but it is heavily planted so there’s roots, plants and leaf litter. I’m unsure if she’d be able to dig a tunnel straight In with the root system. I did check the substrate and it is just moist enough to hold the tunnel. I did leave the test...
The one on his website. Frank also was nice enough to listen to my understanding of the egg laying process. Lay bucket with substrate moist enough to hold a tunnel. when she starts showing signs of being ready to lay stopping eating, going to bottom of cage 15-30 days after she was mated then I...
Plush my female Carpet Chameleon was made it for the first time with my male on March 27. She was very receptive of him but when I tried to put her with him again the next day she flashed her stay away colors. It has only been 12 days since they were mated but yesterday she only ate about 1/2 of...
I had my first attempt at breeding on Thursday I wasn’t able to see whether or not they actually were successful because they were at the back of the cage. Well last night I came home when our colors were completely different and this morning they remained that way. I made a post on the carpet...
I know! I can’t wait. They were in the back of the cage hooked up for about 30 mins and then she came to the front visibly trying to get away from him. I removed her right away and put her back in her cage. He puffed up and hissed at me when I took her out. He wasn’t done lol! Hopefully it was...
My female Carpet Chameleon became receptive today and my male Shag knew right what to do! She didn’t like being exposed so she went to the back of the cage but he couldn’t care less. I was only able to get one picture right after I put her in. I’m hoping it was successful and I will have eggs soon!
I saw a lot of people ask about light etc so I won’t reiterate that but what I am wondering is how you know they “ they will get depressed and stressed if they do not get to come out and ride on my head extra daily some evn come to the store with me the chillon dash then on the buggy as I shop...
I am also very interested. I have a pair of Carpet Chameleons but I would love to get some more. My mail is in a 2 x 2 x 4 and the females in a 36 tall but I can’t put them on their same rack because the size difference. I’m looking for something that I can put next to each other that doesn’t...
