What can I put him in? Would something dark like a box w/ holes and twigs put in be good?
Or a plastic Tupperware container w/ holes so he has light?
I want to make sure it's as stress-less as possible.
His appointment is for 6:30 (right now it's 3:09)
THis is my 9 1/2 old panther chameleon. I noticed today this bump on his mouth. I'm willing to take him to the vet if I have to, but I honestly don't have the money, and would rather not risk stressing him out.
Please let me know if you think I need to take him to the vet. I already called...
Every chameleon's shed is different. Mine sheds his bulk on the first day, then usually sheds things like his feet and tail tip the next day. He also sheds about every 3-4 weeks. Young chams should be shedding pretty often. :)
As your lil cham keeps getting bigger, you might need to start...
Hi guys!!
I was just wondering what kind of camera you use?
Do you like it?
Would you recommend it?
What do you use it for?
Cost?
I've been looking for a nice camera for a while, and I was just wondering what you guys would recommend? :D
Will do! I have a partial free range set up a few feet away from his cage and in front of a window. I'll try and get him onto that tomorrow. If not I'll try flash. Right now though, his colors really are just a light baby blue, and since he was upset with me his accents were dark... He really...
He doesn't let me hold him. I've tried hand feeding to introduce him to me, but he has never been interested. I've held worms in my hand for 10+ minutes and nothing.
Would it help if I took a picture of him next to a ruler or tape measure for sizing? Or is it the lighting you are worried...
Yep. calcium w/out d3 everyday, w/ d3, and herptivite 2x per month. Crickets gutloaded w/ flukers dry cricket food with added calcium, and flukers cricket water with added calcium.
So I've had my chameleon almost 5 months now, and he is about 9 1/2 months old. I've seen so many pictures of Panthers much younger, but still quite a bit larger and colorful. Oliver is about 8-9 inches long, and while I see him getting more and more color, it is still minimal.
I feed him 9...
Sometimes what I like to do, is move the bowl around (but off the ground). Usually it is in the middle of his tree, so sometimes I'll put it under a different branch, vine, etc. Then, he still has to look for his food every once in a while. I'f you're really worried about hunting, I also free...
It's true. The eggs just wont be fertilized (meaning no babies). If you have a female make sure you have a proper laying bin, or else they can become egg bound.
(This is going to sound really silly...)
About a week before I got my first cham, I was just laying in bed thinking about the past.. and all of the sudden I was on the topic of Hannah Montana. Then next thing I know, I'm thinking about how great the name Oliver would be for my chameleon.
I had an ant problem a few months ago, and what I did was take the plant out of the pot, then rinse the entire stem-root area, and change the dirt. I haven't seen them since. :)
So the last couple days, my chameleon has been a little cranky. I couldn't figure out why, because I hadn't really changed anything in his routine. A few minutes ago, I walked into my room and saw this! Thinking more, about a week and a half ago, I started feeding him superworms (because he...
