I wouldn't say no to a vet at this point that does kind of look scary. but seems like she's curling it ok. does she move it and have strength to wrap around branches and everything?

even if temps and humidity were changed, or found a breed capable of withstanding it. I wouldn't mix them. 4' is usually a minimum and if you add a tortoise moving around the bottom they would probably want at least another foot on top of that to make them feel safe. and with the fact that you...

they look fine to me, can definitely relate to being over paranoid at first though, as I'm sure most of our members would agree. but paranoid just means you care and are being observant so it's better to be over paranoid than under.

speaking of which I just started fogging at night, I have it go off two hours after lights out and two hours before lights on for 30 mins each. humidity levels have stayed pretty stable that way but what kind of schedule are you using?

I wouldn't put a cham in that enclosure. that humidity is pretty high (might be ok for some species). but main problems would come from height, and from what I can tell ventilation. chams like to be higher up and for most adults you would want at least 4 foot if not more. especially if they're...

linear hood is much better. old compacts were hard on their eyes, new ones are said to be better. but either way the compacts provide a spotlight of uvb where as the tube can cover all or most of their enclosure and more uvb is always better, as long as they have places to hide from it if they...

I've had my cham on meds so I'm trying to keep him extra hydrated. I've been using a baby syringe in the mornings to force a few drops of water in his mouth just to be sure hes getting enough. I only do it because I have him out for meds anyway. so i think it's up to how bad you think the...

yeah pretty much everything @lydiadubb said, I'd say, especially at this age, dust with calcium with no d3 every feeding d3/multivitamin once a week on alternating weeks. 10-12 crickets. the linear uvb will do wonders for them. misting at night is unnecessary, and might be keeping her up at...

Haha my kid named my first female lizzy, but when we bought her she was really sick and had to take her back so I told him we were getting a baby lizzy, but got a male... hes going to have some gender confusion when he grows up:confused:

yeah it's a female, this is what you'd look for in a male

not really sure tbh. if you have any idea based on the husbandry above I'd love to hear some advice. but I used to have 3 walls closed off, and was using my fogger a lot more. since then I got a ficus benjamina in there, which has stabilized the humidity. so I opened up another wall and started...

Your Chameleon - male veiled, 3 months old, I've had him a month Handling - normally once a week, had to handle him more recently to give him meds Feeding - so far just crickets dusted with calcium. and calcium+ once a week, gut loading them with a variety of fruits and veggies, oranges...

rule of thumb is to never base your decisions for a cham off of what the pet store was doing (especially big chain stores), they usually dont know or dont care how to properly care for a cham. not an expert with jacksons but my guess would be a little too small to. but as for your problems chams...

I got him from an exotics pet shop, though the owner is a professional cham breeder that then decided to expand into his own shop. so they were in very good living conditions when I went there, besides a lot of foot traffic in front of cages. but no, never thought to ask about the parents. yeah...

this question is mainly directed to @jannb since I've seen the awesome turquoise in her chams, but anybody else with experience would be helpful too. my chams still pretty young, about 3 months. hasn't shown a lot of his coloring or patterns short of different shades of green, which I know is...

how long ago did you get her and when was the fire? a cham in a new environment is usually stressed and acts different anyway, and a house fire would be traumatic for anybody, let alone how sensitive chams are. where are toes missing? if it's all the toes on one side of a foot that could explain...

it's legal here in co. I personally stopped smoking a long time ago. but I honestly think it's awesome that it's legal. there have been little to no negative side effects, they tax it like crazy and make millions off it that can be put into the state. and everything else is just normal. people...

yeah 5.0 is what most people use

yeah I've heard people get by with just misting. although they are usually the ones with the expensive mistking setups, not misting by hand. but droppers give them a constant source of water they can go to whenever they want. those bowls you have in the bottom won't be touched, and will only...

a better pic, more in the open with better light, would be helpful. from what I can see there's no sunken in eyes, and bones look nice and straight. from the position in the pic it looks like she's on the move which is a good sign. but chams usually dont show visible signs of being sick unless...
