where I live
I'm in Sultan WA. There is a mobile vet that treats herps, but I wasn't very happy with him before, and since he moves around it's hard to get an appointment on the fly- he was a week out when I used him before.
I have an adopted female veiled. She has been gravid for some time. She seems small to me (compared to another female I once had). She spent yesterday laying eggs. I have the bucket in her habitat with her so I didn't have to move her. She stopped covering last night about an hour before lights...
Oh, great, she's looking gravid....
Well, I decided to adopt her, sight unseen. Brought her home yesterday. She appears to be healthy, and hydrated. Seems like she has a good appetitie, though I haven't seen her eat yet (as in witnessing), she's had a hornworm and a super worm today. But darned...
Hey all,
I'm considering adopting an adult female. I have an adult male. I *know* they can't be in the same enclosure, so I'm not asking that... but can they be in the same room with getting stressed out by one another?
Hi everyone,
I have a veiled Cham, pictured as my icon. He's about two and a half years old. He was about 2 weeks old when I rescued him. He has been a very picky eater since he came into manhood, and lately he's looking too skinny for my taste, and his coloring is rather dull. He is still...
I mean knowing the gender of other veileds. I know the Casque is much taller in adult males, which would be an obvious visual cue, but I couldn't find any info anywhere that really states how they make a gender recognition- whether it's visual, posture, or smell.
This is probably a silly question- but how do veilds know the gender of other chams? Is it through sight, or smell, or posture... or...?
And while we're asking silly questions- you know that hand gesture where they bring up the front foot like in prayer? What does that mean?
I'm no expert on infections as I haven't had one. But suggest you try what I did- turn off the closest basking light. If he closes his mouth in a matter of a couple of minutes- then turn it on again- open his mouth again- that's a pretty good indicator that it's temperature. That doesn't mean he...
Thanks Melric-
So looks like there would be interest- advise on how to ship? What kind of proce would be considered a bargain? I know, novice questions. But you know how some people have green thumbs, I seem to have that nack with insects, and the only think I have ordered via mail more than...
Need suggestions for excess feeders
Help!?!? I’m drowning in bugs! I’ve tried advertising on Craig’s list, the local Herp society, local pet shops…. Etc…
I’ve been managing the production as best I can with lowest possible breeding temperature- and yet still I have thousands of crickets...
Chameleon Info:
• Josh, male Veiled, approx 1 year 2 mos. When I got him he was smaller than my thumb.
• Handling – I do not handle him
• Feeding – I feed him as much as he’ll eat- he’s been pretty picky for several months since he got his colors. He eats a couple of super worms a day...
I adopted two anoles about 2 months ago. One is a very small cuban female, the other an adult female green anole. They were housed in the same 10 gal tank by the previous owner. I seperated the two, and then adopted a male green anole. So now in the 10 is the male and female green anole, and in...
I'd avoid tomato or pepper
I ran out of chow once and fed the worms tomato and bell pepper until I could get more chow. It makes their poop very, very wet, and makes a horrible mess. It really is all about the heat. But I did get a shipment once where the worms didn't grown, and then they died...
Hello,
I once saw directions with illustrations of a feeder to put crickets in made from a plastic bottle and screen. I've been hunting for it again, but I can only find links that go to a cover of a magazine and a dead link.
Does anyone have the origional file saved that can be posted?
Oh they certainly do. Very reliable hydration delivery. Little Josh also likes cabbage moth caterpillars. I'm going to try to extend their season this year. (I do a lot of gardening I think the cabbage moth caterpillars probably are much better nutritionally because of the gut load, and they're...
Open to suggestions...
My Li'l Josh (Veiled Cham) is about 10 months now, and still doesn't eat the way I'd like him to. when he was a little baby he reallllly ate, but the last 3 months or so, not to much. He's active, has good color, and good poop- though not every day- so I think it's either...
