Everyone at the vet loved her. They don't handle exotic reptiles at all, so I wouldn't be able to bring her there if she got ill, but it's still more than enough for X-Rays and fecal tests. It's also local, so easier for us to reach for something so small. Apparently she smiled while getting her...
So I just got back from the vet with Yuki, we had some X-Rays done to see whether or not she had eggs, just in case. Also wanted to make sure her bones were fine without signs of MBD, even if she's always getting her calcium etc. Can't hurt, right?
Everything went awesomely. She has no eggs...
Cucumber isn't the most nutritious, but they completely devoured it when I gave it to them! Tomato also didn't stand a chance. I believe I also tried Blueberries. They simply left the skin of everything after a day.
Sometimes Midori does not look as she seems. Marimo was, from the day I got him at 2 and a half months, obviously male. Midori on the other hand, I am not sure if she's really female. Sometimes, when her tail is curled, she seems to be male. With tails straight, female!
Darned elliotis...
I know I promised pictures on the weekend, so these are a bit late. Midori was mid-shed and didn't like the camera :D Now that she's all done, here's a picture of the new two! (Ryuu is due for a shed as well, he looks slightly dull at the moment...)
Ryuu:
His legs look a lot meatier now :D...
I am not 100% certain about the freezing part, but I believe they lose some of the nutritional value when frozen, but I'm sure someone else can input a bit more on that.
I used to have a problem with the feeders not going through their food quick enough and the rest going to waste but we have...
Phoenix worms are awesome feeders for any chameleon when they are the right size :D They're at their best in the larvae form, but the flies are good too!
Speaking of phoenix worms, I need to order some more!
Alright, thank you sandra :) I'll check the store tomorrow to see if they have any Vitamin A in their Multi-Vitamin supplements. Should there be nothing in them, I'll check online and in a worst case boil eggs and feed as part of the gutload for her feeders :D The eggs here should be good too as...
Hello! I kinda need a bit of help here :)
I believe that Yuki is showing signs of Vitamin A deficiency (skin around the throat that looks like there's "air" or something behind it and when it goes down, her eyes become puffy instead) and would like to know some chameleon safe fruits and...
My veiled loves blueberries! Maybe you should try those cut up so they aren't fully round. :)
She used to like apple too, until she grabbed two pieces at once and almost choked on it.... so if you decide to feed something like apple, be sure to cut it up small and fully separate them, giving...
Thank you :D I'll be sure to let them know!
I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't. They're awesome chameleons! Marimo has as much colour as a mini panther when fired up, but obviously not as bright or visible. You have to look really close to see the orange and yellows he has :)...
DEDICATED, not crazy ;) I'd be interested in seeing your future work too! Will you be painting this work as well, or will it stay the light brown wood colour it is now?
His colours look like they show the story of how television/films/pictures has evolved :D From grey to colourful!
I'm pretty sure he is going to have awesome colour when he's older!
You have just provided me with what I would call awesome (my husband would call them horrible) ideas :D It looks like there are plenty of great ways to have nice looking furniture and more reptiles than I thought possible ;)
Just wanted to mention (I use flies all the time and have no problems covering them in dust)....
When you have the containers of flies all sorted out, stick them in the fridge. This slows them down a LOT and they take longer to do everything. This also slows them down for 1-3 minutes when you...
Perfect, just before I was about to leave! Thank you :) I will pick it up and see how she goes. If I get any other replies after, well, I can always fix things up still! The combo will be better than nothing for the time being though!
Congrats! :D I was also at Hamm and picked up two new additions myself. :)
I have no knowledge of panthers so I cannot tell you what you have in the slightest. I could at most say that he looks like Christmas (red, gree and white) :D So not very informative. I can, however, tell you that...
