Your chameleon will become chubby and often you can see the eggs laying just under her skin, she will become restless and start digging in the corners of her cage, she may go off her food, she will show a darker coloration (with often spectacular markings!) and she may be moodier than usual...
What an amazing story! Congrats on the unknown clutch - they are adorable and as you can see by their previously hatched brothers & sisters, they will be adorable!
So sorry to hear that Reggie is causing some concern with some unexplained health issues and hope with all my heart that you can eventually chalk it up to an unexplained mystery and have him back to his regular self in the near future. Sending best wishes to Reggie and also condolences on the...
I wouldn't be so concerned about feeding so long as you feed them with well gutloaded feeders the day you leave. Chameleons can go for up to a week without food so if you are only away for four days, they will be fine.
I think my main concern would be about their hydration and where it was...
You'know? I'm just going to throw this out there and say that if you are waiting for your parent to be paid to buy a chameleon then you are probably not really ready to have one.
To keep a chameleon, first and foremost you will need money. Perhaps a lot in the event your Cham has a medical...
Seems like you have all the help here from those who have replied but I just wanted to say that I wouldn't 'sit' on this, I'd get your guy to the vet ASAP! He's absolutely gorgeous and it would be devestating to lose him! If he's starting to close his eyes it means something isn't right...
A chameleon in the wild spends its life trying to avoid being prey for another, bigger foe. The instincts for survival are still ingrained even in a captive bred so I always try to keep my movements slow when handling, try not to come up from behind, and when holding always try to have him...
You're preaching to the choir here....I feel exactly the same way when I'm away from my chams! You worry about their level of care because 'nobody cares for your Cham like you, you lie awake at night worrying..."is he hydrated", has he eaten, is he stressed?....lol! It gets to the point where...
Jann I thought I gushed enough when I saw them both on Facebook but seeing them again has made my heart to pitter patter! They are both so incredibly adorable! You will spoil them and we expect nothing less! You are THE chameleon Mom of the decade!! ;)
JANN!!! I haven't been on CF much lately so perhaps I missed the memo but I am SO HAPPY you have a couple new boys to round out your boy Cham family!!
A NEW PARSONS? I just squealed with delight for you! I am so very happy that you have another - you are such a fantastic pet Mom, you really...
