can your two chameleons see each other through their cages? if they can, you should put some cardboard or something in between the cages so they can not see each other. If they can see each other they will be stressing out because they are territorial, especially the veileds
i've been searching for what species it is and im fairly sure i found a match.....Melanoplus differentialis, the differential grasshopper. is that a safe species to feed off?
i searched the forums but i couldn't find if this grasshopper is safe to feed my chameleon. Im in ohio and i got him from my yard and there are no pesticides sprayed around here. Im fairly sure he's safe to feed off but i am no bug identification guy, just want to make sure he isn't toxic naturally.
if I get the DIY flourscent 24 inch hood and put two reptisun 5.0 bulbs and have them both on at the same time, would that be too much? I'm thinking that it wouldn't but I'm still not sure.....
number of poops depends on how often he is eating when my veiled ate everyday he would poop about every day.
as for the amount of crickets he should be eating, i think its around 15-24 appropriately sized crickets a day (i may be wrong, its been a while for babies with me, my previous veiled i...
i have a ball python named Mardi :)
how big are the crickets you feeding him?
he maybe too stressed to eat because of the force feeding, my veiled got a RI and during treatment we had to feed him because he was too stressed from the handling everyday. maybe give him a day or two by himself and...
with the open water in the enclosure i'd say its not a good idea..... my last chameleon drowned in his fountain i had in there. I'd just play it safe and go with no open water source and just have an auto mister and dripper. If you really want to have a small school of fish near your chameleon...
the last info i have seen about the CFL is that they are not as good as the tube lights, if i am behind on the times i will go back and do more research on the subject and i do hope that i find that you are right. But both of my reptile vets despise the CFL UVB lights and favor the MVB or the...
get rid of the CFL uv light and go with the tried and true linear tube florecent UVB lights
as for drainage, you might be able to get some plastic bathroom paneling and line it with that and just have the bottom sloped to a tray in the back like a gutter that will drain into a bucket?
take them to the vet for medications. Its better to spend the money at the vet getting it treated properly than have home remedies not work and destroy the eye. Chameleons are sight predators and without two working eyes for binocular vision they wont use their tongue at all
I would look at lllreptile.com or DIYcages.com, both are site sponsers. I bought a 24x24x48 screen cage from lllreptile and i love it! and i think its a lil cheaper there than the penn plax you are looking at. as for humidity you can put plastic wrap on 3 sides to help keep it up along with a...
