Sometimes crickets can get a cricket virus and it spreads super fast. It's very important to clean your cricket bin and dispose of any dead crickets daily, however, with the cricket virus... it really doesn't matter. Best bet is to buy from someplace else and see if the same thing happens. If it...
It sure looks like you're getting a bit of a direction from everyone's feedback. I hope to hear about how he is recovering and some updated photos of him and his enclosure. He'll need a larger screen cage which you can order easily online, you don't need to visit a pet store in order to get the...
I just wanted to spread the word on neonicotinoids. It's a systemic pesticide and for ornamental potted plants (like the ficus) it's used in the soil. However, because it goes through the plant and not on it, it's important to know that even if you thoroughly rinse it and re-soil it, it is still...
I guess that about covers it. Looks like I'm now too nervous to promote an egg clutch at this age! I thought I would have until November 1st! Although I still wonder if there is a different between low bask/low food and high bask/low food...
She just turned 5 month! She hasn't shown any new colors since I've had her. So, she might be old enough for that huh? Usually I let her bask in the sun midday for about 5-15 minutes (less if It is me she is perched on - more if it's her plant)
Yes, I'm already aware of this. I'm just concerned of the quality of life since when she tries to warm up all the time, she simply doesn't seem as happy as when she can warm up completely and then go adventure. So, now is there a difference between low basking/low food vs higher basking/low...
Is it proven necessary to keep a female at cooler temperatures than that of a male? I'm only asking because my female is never happy with 80 degrees. But if it's at least 85, she's happy. I say this because at 80-83, she is more often than not, dark and constantly trying to soak up more heat...
On another note, I lived in Okinawa for two years and they do have pet stores. Perhaps consider checking out their local pet stores first... I know Petbox is their equivalent to petco, other than that I'm sure you can find ones that are reptile specific. Also, you can check out okinawa bookoo...
I think it would have boded better if you had you chameleon swimming in a tub with better water vs. a pool with chlorine. It still would have been a touchy subject but FAR less reckless... Chameleons are already sensitive animals, it's common sense that chlorine would be of great concern, let...
Most base housing does not allow exotic animals, lizards, rabbits, or anything that isn't considered a domestic pet (Dog, cat and some birds perhaps). I'd definitely check your base housing requirements, because that's going to ultimately be your biggest hurdle. I know some people who have such...
