Yay! Another kid...although I'm just a tad bit older than you--I'm sixteen, but I was fourteen when I got my first cham. My mom and dad HATE reptiles, which is why it took me so long to get one.
What's up guys! It's been awhile. Anyway, Captain, my panther chameleon started a shed a few weeks ago, and finished it half way. Or rather, 2/3 of the way. There's a just visible line cutting across his side where new skin starts and old skin ends. It's right behind his front elbows, so his...
What is the evolutionary advantage of having no legs, but not being flexible like a snake? The appearance of being a snake, to ward off would be predators?
The isopod potato trap also attracts quite a few snails, FYI.
How big do these snails get? And how fast do they grow? The ones I've been finding outside have all been pretty tiny, I haven't seen any larger than half of a pinkie fingernail.
I found three teeny tiny snails in the woods. I can confirm only one of them being alive because it came out. The other two I have no idea. I placed them in a bin on a piece of lettuce, waiting to see if they move.
Silkworms and hornworms both have very high moisture content and are really good for dehydrated chameleons. Not sure about what the cause is, but he definitely does appear dehydrated.
Is it possible that the eggs have been taking up all her calcium and if they've been in her for too long it's begun to adversely affect her? (not a diagnosis, just a question for the pursuit of knowledge)
With young panthers it's practically impossible to tell the locale. However, that does appear to particularly blue, which is a trait of nosy faly. The breeder will tell you the same thing, that you won't actually start to see real faly traits until he gets older. And, if he turns out to not be...
With young chams usually feeding them about as much as they will eat in 5-10 minutes is good. You may want to try some bugs that move a little bit more to be more exciting for him.
Did you do all of your research? That sounds like a bit of an impulse buy. Those two should not be kept together, they are solitary animals and you can see in the pic that the bigger one is stressed way out by the other one. Please read through this carefully...
