I bought a couple larger trees from Home Depot. I have em chillin in the backyard and tied a couple pathways between them and boom! Outside free range, my guy never is in it unattended so if your looking to keep her out without you watching you will want a cage.
It has been 11 days since my female starting throwing off her sexual maturity colors Pics here: https://www.chameleonforums.com/cleopatras-new-color-62207/.
I have read up on it and feel confident enough about the ordeal but it is my first time and I want know how things should go. The...
Well so far so good I would say. I chilled with Samson outside and he is quite the active cham. He must be feeling better because he really is all over the place! He wasn't content staying in his tree outside and wanted to wander the yard some. Here he is exploring out in his free range, I...
I been keeping him more hydrated than the mist king timer has. Generally after his dose of medicine, I take him outside to the hibiscus and let him hang in the sunglight while I mist him from a few feet away using the wind currents.
Still don't see him drink during those times but at least I...
Thanks guys, even though Samson was my 1st cham and I love all of him, Cleo is my favorite, she is so fiesty and hates my guts but she owns my heart!
I been trying to tame her for months now and its so hard! So far my progress is that I can feed her a superworm from my hand but only if the...
Ohh yeah he's a champ, from what I have read Baytril can be hard on the animal and really I have noticed no side effects other than I can tell he needs more water.
Carol you check out my pretty receptive female pics in the photo gallery?
Thanks for the reading Jann, it gave me much to think about.
At the vet he used a sonar to listen to his lungs and it was pretty cool to hear the popping and wheezing in his lungs. When I made the appointment I was told that they don't do culture tests for RI. I wasn't aware that RI like...
Ohh yeah her laying bin is all ready to rock. It explains so much as these past few weeks shes been hanging around lower in the cage and chillin.
As far as coloration for receptive/gravid girls goes. What one shows itself first? I saw new peculiar colors a couple weeks back and thought to...
Check this out guys! My 10 month old Ambanja Panther is turning into a lady. She is a blue bar as well and has always been her nice light tan with nile blue specs throughout her.
Well 2 days ago I noticed a slight color change to her, she was getting quite peachy, but yesterday and today...
Well that's just it seems to be working, but since its my first one I was curious bought other experiences.
The nebulizer is pretty nice. Samson doesn't freak out in there he just chills for the most part. I still feel bad buy it beats the other methods. I did catch it early so I'm...
I took Samson to the vet 10 days back as I was pretty positive he had an RI. The Dr. confirmed it for me and offered me Baytril for treatment.
He mentioned usually it is injections but since Samson wasn't as developed as usual cases (which I have everyone of YOU to thank for that!) that he...
Thats very similar to how I make my frozen gutload. Have you ever had problems with it keeping? I never pull out more than I need but my first batch molded in the cage very quickly. This last batch I added a good pinch of citric acid in hopes to preserve it a little longer.
I am at The vet now and he just confirmed my suspisions about Samson having lung congestion. He sqid he has been having good luck with this nebulizer. It's a mixture of baytril and saline. I am to use it everyday for 15 mins. Anyone heard about this method. It's new to me. He is ti have .3 cc...
Worms generally tend to be a super source for hydration, especially horn worms, if his diet is high in those then perhaps but I believe he is just that secretive about it. My chams drink as fast as a shot of the tongue, you cant be there for all of them.
Yeah I use plants from there in all my cages. I washed the leaves with soapy water which was a royal pain but worth it and all. I shook out as much of the old soil as I could and used some organic mix with sand in it to provide better drainage and prevent my plants from being over-watered...
Hehe you said you feed him LOTS of mealworms.
I bet he is spoiled. Generally forum members here use mealworms more of a "treat" than a staple. They are high in fat and chitlin and from what I gather that is about it. Don't feed him mealworms for a while and eventually he will get hungry...
