You're not being mean, it's true that adults don't require the amount of food that babies do. So don't let him make you feel bad ;)
This link will help a lot as far as your female and egg-laying: http://raisingkittytheveiledchameleon.blogspot.com/2007/12/keeping-female-veiled.html...
I have the same problem with my heels! It doesn't help that my dogs seem to find them irresistible and have chewed them off before. I just had to replace the tips on one of my favorite pairs yesterday, thankfully they're like new again. I would also never wear them to a sporting event lol.
It...
She's lovely! Unfortunately, we can't tell you with any certainty if she is, in fact, 100% Nosy Be or not. With females you either trust that the breeder is honest about their pedigree or you have to prove them out through breeding to be certain. Because by and large females look super similar...
Mine is the misuse of apostrophes, especially when making things plural.
Adding an 's to something implies possession of a singular or plural noun (example: the chameleon's plant, my veiled's tail, the lizards' cages), it does not however make something plural.
So you do not have...
You could. But people like to remove the eggs, put them into containers where they can keep an eye on each egg, control humidity better, throw away the eggs that mold, and know exactly when they're about to hatch.
Don't be afraid of giving a full grown panther or veiled the large worms, they can totally handle them.
I've never bred hornworms, but every so often I will let a few worms morph and then feed off the newly-emerged moths to the chameleons. They're big as well, but when they just come out the...
I'm looking for more feeder roaches again! I was wondering why my colony was slowing down breeding until I realized that I had 2 house geckos going to town on my nymphs. So I need to buy some more! If anyone has a bunch of mixed roaches that they'd like to sell to me, please let me know.
I...
Oh no, what a shame! I'm so sorry!
With my chameleons I'm more worried that the sparrows BECOME prey, rather than the other way around! But I definitely worry about larger birds like black birds, hawks, or osprey. Those black birds could definitely fly away with one of my smaller Meller's. I'm...
The rule is that the width of the insect shouldn't be wider than the space between his eyes, if it were length we wouldn't be able to feed off almost anything! :)
I can't really tell from the photos how big he is, but compared to the fake leaves he seems small still for an 8 month old so I...
I get them about once a month, usually as a pod of medium to large worms, and since my house is warm they grow super quickly. Therefore, I will feed them off fairly often during the week or so I have them. So between 3 adult Meller's, maybe it comes out to about 1-2 a day each for that week...
Oooh that might be it. If he sees "greener pastures" higher up he may be trying to reach them. It's natural, after all, so he might be sitting there baffled as to why he can't climb up to those tempting free range vines!
I've never had a ceiling scratcher, but I'd move him into the larger cage anyway. It may be a matter of him looking for more height, especially if the cage is sitting on something at hip level, he may be trying to get up high for safety. The extra foot of height may help with that, along with...
Yea, I wonder what is in it to keep them at bay lol.
Who has such a serious iguana problem that they'd want to repel them? A couple in your yard wouldn't be a hassle, I would think (unless they poop in your pool, and then I understand.) They're all over the place on the island where I...
My new vet charges $40 for an exotic visit but I've also paid around $55-60 at most other clinics. An exotic fecal on average has been $18-22, depending on the clinic, and an x-ray about $150. So apart from the fecal your prices seem to be within the range of what I've experienced at 5-6...
That's actually pretty adorable! Just make sure Osama doesn't get hungry lol
I've had some pretty curious chameleon relationships pop up in my gang but my female veiled was one tough cookie when it came to my males, especially after she hit sexual maturity. She could send all the males running...
Yea, that vet is a little ridiculous. I've seen many vets over the years and it's never more than $40-60 for an exotic exam, about $18-22 for an exotic fecal, and the most I've ever paid for a surgery was $150. So their prices are substantially more.
