Guys let's keep in mind that Jeddah is 12 hours ahead of central standard time in the US. The correspondence here is going to be naturally moderated by sleep-wake cycles.
I would have to agree. This is a golden opportunity in that this person lives in an area where they can house their chameleon outside year round. A larger cage that's got plenty of room in both width and height would make for a very happy chameleon.
Jeddah is a massive city and the center for the commercial goods trade in Saudi Arabia. One can find everything there that we have in the states and possibly more. She shouldn't have any trouble procuring any husbandry products.
So you currently are not using a T5 HO linear bulb for UV is that correct? I would say that is the most pressing issue to correct in your husbandry. Are you able to allow your chameleon exposure to natural sun light? What other bugs have you or do you feed your chameleon. They really do need WAY...
There are few things that make me more livid than seeing an actual set up like that with the implied notion that it is sufficient unto itself for a live animal. The things they'll say and do to make a buck is disheartening. I would lose my poop if I saw a cham in something like that. Yes, in...
The title was just to get your attention . My new boy and new love of my life Jimmy is settling in nicely after his transcontinental trip from Maryland to ALASKA.
I honestly can't believe that he arrived alive, and even still that he adjusted so quickly and is eating and drinking like Oscar the...
Processed butt holes are a-okay! Let’s not spoil this for those less privy . Folks, non-kosher hot hot dogs and bologna have some very special ingredients in them......”The more you know ”
Duly noted. I didn't know that. The zip tie situation is still ever changing as I refine the set up and make changes to the positioning of furniture and accessories. I do in fact have the carbon ties so that won't be a problem. Thank you for the insight!
Could the more experienced keepers here give me a rough idea of how long it will take for him to get acclimated to his new home? I filled his feeder container up with an assortment of bugs without actually counting and now realize that I have no way of knowing if he's eaten any of them yet. I...
After much work and careful planning, Jimmy is finally here! I wasn't able to get the best pics yet as he's had a very long and arduous journey from Maryland all the way to Alaska, and thus is really stressed. I didn't want to bother him anymore than he already has been.
A HUGE thank you to...
When you say outside do you mean outdoors or inside the house outside of his cage? Off the bat I see a few things in your husbandry that could be contributing to the issues your guy is having. Can you please post a pic of his entire set up. It's crucial.
1. How often is he getting vitamin D...
For UVB I have a Reptisun 5 right now but I have an Arcadia 6% on the way. The fixture is a 36" ZooMed with a 34" bulb. Reference the pictures above to see. I can definitely cover the red container with screen. Easy fix. The basking light is a standard 65 watt BR30. I will get a better picture...
Great advice, thank you very much. I wasn't too fond of the humidifier being inside the cage either. Per your advice I'm going to run a platform across the top of the cage so that I can set it on there and then adjust the hose so that it will blow from the top down. The whole idea of having it...
