We are going to see a vet for the first time this Friday, no health concerns just bringing in a sample for his first fecal and getting established with the exotic vet near me Incase we need to visit in the future.
What are some things I can do to make it as minimally stressful for my Cham as I can?
It’s super unfortunate that pet stores know basically nothing when it comes to reptiles :(
I got my little guy from an actual reptile store and they still gave me some janky info. Hopefully you can make it to the vet and he can recover!
This is so true!!
Geckos are like little dogs, they are always happy to crawl around and hang out.
Chameleons are like little teenagers, way too cool to hang out with mom
My very favorite is while he’s hunting he turns bright bright almost turquoise with little speckles.
If people changed colors like this I would also be that visibly excited when eating lol
When I first brought Jameson home and a few weeks back, handling wasn’t in question. And when he did get handled during cleaning he would be a very dark dark green which I assumed to mean he was stressed and unhappy being around me. Now he’s handled probably everyday for 10ish minutes. I use a...
I put one of his little trees on the floor of the tub with him on it, then I face the shower head towards the wall so he’s only getting a little misted and can move out of the way of the water if he needs too :) it’s a good time for him to drink and clean his eyes with out me being there misting...
I’m just astounded at how quickly my guy is growing !! And at how happy he was to crawl up my arms and shoulders after he had his first little shower :)
also please excuse my selfies lol I just had to show off my little
This was so sweet!
I’m currently in school to be a veterinarian (my first year! Yay!) so we won’t be having any little people for a good while. I’m content with my reptile children for now haha
They deserve it!
Part of the reason I accepted a better job was so Jameson and my dog could be even more spoiled lol. We don’t have kids yet so my heart belongs to our little animal babies :love:
I’m stoked! It’s also going to be nice not to be constantly worried about misting and making sure he’s drinking and getting his eyes good and clean when he needs it!
Amazon and Joshs frogs packages keep showing up on our door with more chameleon goodies, I told him once I got the mistking and...
That’s my game plan! A girl can only spend so much time cleaning up chameleon poop.
I talked my man creature into getting me a mist king and a drip pan situation as an early anniversary present lol
I clean/change out Jameson’s reptile carpet every Thursday as well as clean the plastic leaves etc. and while I do this the young man sits in my little jade tree in the window.
Apparently I’m the worst mom in the world for trying to take him out of said jade tree and put him back in his...
He shouldn’t mind being moved! A friend of mine has a panther that notoriously falls asleep on his free range set up during the evenings.
She just scoops him up and puts him back in his enclosure :)
