Hi!
I currently feed my Cham roughly 8 locust every morning (medium size) he’s around 1 month old.
Im looking to expand his diet. I’ve found a site called silkwormstore who do subscriptions and they offer some good stuff - locusts (healthier than pets at home), silkworms and pachnoda grubs...
Hi appreciate the suggestion! I’ll take a look into this the idea of the res been outside of his enclosure is great and would be so useful! I’m taking out his dripper tomorrow and going to give it s huge clean and hopefully find a solution to my current problem
Hi sonny, the misting during daylight is because the sun is out at 7 o’clock which is also the time he goes to bed hence the misting but thank you for the advice with the heat light ill keep it in mind and it’s really useful :) his humidifier runs once for two minutes on the lowest setting...
No need to worry with his enclosure. I got him from a very reputable reptile centre, he has a hybrid viv, mesh top. I have a few photos, I also live in the uk so the temps are quite cold a lot of the time and I have a humidifier to ensure it’s at optimal humidity during the day and night...
Hi Steve, sorry for the confusion there the viv is a mesh top I meant mesh top as in on the water reservoir to protect it from anything falling in. That suggestion of two spectate locations for the water is really good I think I’m going to take a look into that I would just need to purchase a...
Hi Steve, I see why but surely the issue is with my current viv layout as I can’t put the bowl anywhere else it with my bowl not having a mesh like top? I am just curious if it is still safe to use this for now and clean it with hot water everyday till I find a good enough solution. I currently...
Hi!
My chameleon has pooped in his dripper water a few times in the past few weeks. I have been cleaning it out thoroughly with very warm water ever night since he has started doing this. Normally the poop is hard and not disturbed by the motor just present. However, yesterday it was broken...
Awesome! Thank you so much, I’m going to look into buying his bigger viv this week and then get that set up to be bioactive you’ve fully sold it to me and the idea that he’s living in a more real world is such a nicer thought :) also the help from the clean up crew will be huge for the days I’m...
Awesome, thank you all so much, I am either going to get another dripper which is more effective for the area around it or double up on my substrate and plant a couple of plants. If I opt for putting a few real plants in to make use of the water will I need anything else in there such as spring...
Hi everyone!
I just got an exo terra large dripping plant for my Cham but I’ve found after a few days I’m coming home to a very wet substrate with a couple of puddles. I sometimes get it right so it doesn’t splash all over but I’m struggling to get it right consistently and it’s a hard job to...
so happy to hear you say that! And he’s had that since I got him from the centre I asked them about this and they said it’s nothing to worry about, I’m assuming it’s a bit of his own wear and tear from when he was a little younger, I was curious to whether shedding would bring back the scales...
Honestly again all of that is so helpful and awesome information thank you so much! You don’t understand how much you have helped :)
One last question, will you just take a quick look and tell me if he looks healthy? The darker colours around his Mitch worry me a tad I was worried of a fungal...
Hey!
Yesterday after handling he got black dots on his face in areas, I am assuming this was from extreme stress as my grandma came flying into the room so I put him back immediately even tho he was hesitant to leave my hand I waited till he went in then left the room for nearly 2 hours when I...
Thank you so much for the live plant suggestions when my next pay comes I will definitely look into these, would love to see Bruce climbing on some real plants :) Would these plants be fine in pots? or would they need to be embedded into the substrate?
Again thank you for the info on the...
