    Yes, that’s what I was thinking lol just smile and nod. I just don’t know what to do to get her to eat…..this sucks so bad. I live in a small town so I can’t just go out and get the worms she needs either.

    New Chameleon Questions

    I have not tried any worms…..I got hornworms but they were all too big. I can order some other kinds….the roaches I got were the small ones, not nymphs. I am positive the crickets are small enough….I also put some of the BSFL too. Today I put two roaches, two of those and like 10 crickets in...

    The more the merrier in trying to help. She isn’t sleeping today but I only saw her eat once ( I did leave for a couple hours). She turned a darker green just like yesterday when she went over to it and hissed at it….but she did eat a cricket before she ran away this time. Any idea as to why she...

    I appreciate that! I have been calling around all day. I just hate having to take her out of the cage, it’s my first time, and scaring the crap out of her but I know I will have to. I can’t figure this little girl out. She isn’t sleeping today but she only went over to the feeder, ate one...

    Thank you for your help. It is like a chain pet store called pet supplies plus. Could I call and ask them where they get them and where they take their reptiles when needing a vet? It’s like an hour away from me which would be doable. I was thinking of moving her when I had to take her to the...

    Thank you. Closest vet on the list is 3 hours away. I can’t make that trip this week so I got an apt here on Wednesday. I’m going to see how that goes and I know it isn’t the best option but I have no choice at the moment. I can’t believe it.

    No, please don’t apologize. I am open to any suggestions. I have the basking branch like 7-8 inches from both but I’m wondering if most people aim the heat and ubv towards the same spot. Also, is it ok for the other half of the cage, with higher spots alright as long as the ubv isn’t hitting it...

    Can I ask you one more question. If you look at how my enclosure is set up, there is the pothos plant on the right side. If she climbs on the leaves of this, that would be putting her too close to her ubv, right? I tried to move it over the best I could so it isn’t hitting that spot. There were...

    I really appreciate the reply. Why did you have to take him to the vet and what happened if you don’t mind me asking. I just don’t even know how they can examine these little tiny delicate animals! Thanks a lot though, I am just so worried and stressed. I have been since I got her a little over...

    New Chameleon Questions

    Ok I will call tomorrow and get her in asap. In your experience, what could be wrong with her? Do you think it is most likely a URI since I have seen her do the gaping occasionally and star gazing? They can do an X-ray to find out can’t they? I’m just really worried about her. If you were me...

    I guess it is possible she could see her reflection in the shower curtain….it is clear. I don’t think so though. I was thinking maybe she ate a gnat and it went down the wrong hole? lol just playing but today, after that she stayed on her branch for a while and then became curious about the...

    I actually was worried about the parasites, so I took a sample Friday and it was negative. So thrilled about that…one of my worst fears as I’ve been reading the horror stories. I had been reading and watching videos for at least a month every single day trying to learn all I can. I started with...

    Wow….I just want to thank you for taking so much time out of your day to answer all of these things, most likely over and over again. I have not been able to see inside if her mouth. She stays at the back half of the cage most of the time. I can try to take her out but I’m scared that will freak...

    New Chameleon Questions

    Thank you so much for your help. So, the first crickets I got were perfect size I would say 1/4 of an inch. Lost almost all of those bc they got invaded by ants. Next ones I got were too big and the ones I ordered online that should have been 1/4 inch were so tiny. I try to go by the in between...

    Got a couple of her. She climbs on her hanging plant but doesn’t go on the top of the screen like she used to. These aren’t very clear but I can get some better ones.

    She’s hiding right now but when she comes out, I will get some. Supplements the calcium without d3 every feeding and reptivite have given one time (twice per month) so far. It’s been a struggle with the lights. The t5 5.0 ubv bc I have seen so much diff info on where to put it. I did have it...
