so i finally set up my outdoor enclosure for my veiled. as i was saying earlier, he was having emotional issures when i took him outside but it would seem that after i leave him be for a couple of hours he came out of hide and was actually not on the bottom of the cage. the long pots on the...
i understand. but it was totally unexpected because i always hold him and he never shows any stress or aggression. he sometimes gapes a little bit but only when my head is looking down on him. but today was totally off. and ive taken him outside plenty of times and he usually loves it. and now...
yes he's been outside plenty of times before. i've never seen him like this before. i thought hey maybe it's the new environment so he might just need some time to adjust. i checked up on him two hours later and he's still at the bottom and being very pissed. i took him back to his old cage and...
so i just finished my outdoor enclosure and i was taking my cham outside. as i was going outside he became soooooo pissed like he wouldnt stop hissing and gaped his mouth at me. so i ran as fast as possible to the enclosure. i misted it nice and wet but when i put him in there he keeps going to...
i just tried feeding him something small just to see how his tongue works and he's back to his normal fast and accurate. that's a relief. but yeah i will work on that misting and more hydration
the thing is, today my mom was bothering me all morning and rushing me to go swimming before the place closes. and i forgot to turn his lights on. i didnt get back until 11:30am and when i fed him that's when i noticed him when he ate he couldnt aim and shot out really slow and would usually miss.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled, male, about 9 months. had him for almost 4 months
Handling - every now and then when i take him outside
Feeding - used to be everyday 10 medium crickets. ive been cutting down to every other day 5 large crickets for about two weeks now. i gutload with...
yeah no more than 4 days. and i even fed him some king meal worms too so he wasnt completely starving. could they turn sluggish from lack of heat? maybe i should upgrade his 50watt bulb to a 75watt.
since i have been super busy these few days i havent been able to run down to the store and get some crickets for my cham. so it has bee about 4 days now since he hasnt eaten anything but a couple of meal worms. now that ive gotten food for him, he seems weak :eek: couldnt aim right and was...
i was wondering if grapes and grape vines are poisonous or has some effects to chams. i dont really want to go with the standard pothos. if grapes are poisonous is there other vines i can use instead of pothos? something that grows fast
i got mine when he was 4 months old. i just wanna see if i should make any changes to his supplementing schedules. i am now feeding him 10 medium crickets every other day, and dusting during those feedings. is that ok or should i feed him more?
does anyone have a link to any blog that will show me the supplementation for veileds in stages? like from babies to certain months to certain months. i remember seeing one that was pretty clear to me, not the one by sandrachameleon, but by some other guy. anyways, any clear and simple...
yeah i checked the mesh and its the really heavy duty type. it used to be a bird cage for parrots so i mean if they're still alive then i guess the cage did its job. i do have a couple of umbrella plants and i was thinking about pothos but since you mentioned about aphids and ants, now im not...
its pretty big. i havent gotten pictures of it yet because its at the new house that we're soon moving into. the caging is like hard metal mesh, probably half inch by half inch. and from the last time i saw the cage i would estimate its size to be around 4 feet wide by 7 feet tall by 15 feet long.
