What kind of chameleon you have? Because if it’s veiled panther or Jackson you’re gonna have to get a 24x24x48 enclosure in which you might as well get the 24” uvb reflector with a 22” bulb
I have trouble finding silkworms in my area at least ones of a good size all my reptiles love them I am getting into various roach species my orange head roach colony I have isn’t reproducing wuickly so I haven’t fed them off I also have little Kenyan roaches that I’m trying to raise to feed off...
For hoehnelii it’s generally recommended to have higher uvi I’m not sure about all the studies but i know most display brighter coloration when exposed to higher uvi I expose my Jackson’s to the same and he also displays more color in that 4-5 range I believe it’s just because of their thicker...
I have been lacking in gutloading mostly using repashy bug burger as the main but i could do with more sweet potatoes etc. In terms of feeder variety I could be feeding more but some of the variety I’d wish to add my chameleons tend to not like especially the treat bugs like meal/super worms...
Yeah I mean he’s got a lot of experience with hoehnelii and if he says there’s something in reptivite that has done wonders for hoehnelii then It wouldn’t hurt to try he believes it’s a vitamin a thing and it’s something that wouldn’t hurt to try to we will see and thanks honestly the vet really...
I’d argue not enough remember they like to not be seen although I like your plant choice I love shefflera the water bowls are not needed and in fact are breeding grounds for bacteria when water pools under them and poop goes there and feeders will hide under them I’d say go crazy with plants as...
That’s a possibility but the closed eyes don’t seem to be anything physical I took him to the vet and he didn’t have anything stuck in them or any underlying disease no mouth rot nothing the next step there is a fecal and although he skipped one meal and it worried me due to his appetite I’m not...
Oh that’s actually the wrong one herptivite is the one with the blue label that says no vitamin a you’re talking about what I’m talking about is reptivite with the Jackson’s chameleon on it this one already has preformed vitamin a and more of it than repashy from what I’ve been able to see
So I’ve been analyzing mulivitamins on recommendation of Sean mccneely for hoehnelii from repashy plus lod to reptivite as he said his hoehnelii have been brought back from similar symptoms as mine with this and he’s unsure why but I’ve been looking and it seems that repashy kid is about 8,000...
It’s weird because I keep my Jackson’s the same exact way right next to him with the same exact care and supplementation routine and he’s doing well the only difference will now be in switching this go over from repashy lod to herptivite also found out this isn’t their first hoehnelii but the...
I’ll also add they prescribed carnivore syringe food but only if he goes a while without eating to keep him going if he goes downhill but the next step if a fecal
Update nothing was found we are getting a fecal next week in hopes that we find something but my husbandry checked out and nothing was out of the ordinary for him I will say the vet REALLY made him angry but nothing in his eyes no mouth rot or anything it may be stress related I will add this...
Idk much about shipping I’m going to have to learn tho but temperatures are important since reptiles are more cold tolerant than heat tolerant in general you’ll have a hard time finding a reptile that actually enjoys constant 90 degree while being shipping
Oh before I forget experience and research done hoehnelii aren’t as simple I’ve found as a carpet chameleon from my limited experience and from what Sean mccnealy has told me they seem to be a little more challenging in his years of experience with them vs a Jackson’s
Definitely ask about the nighttime drops and husbandry questions like what their basking temps are, uvb type cage size and supplementation someone should have a setup ready before they get a chameleon to be able to jump right in
