I was very lucky to have a good friend take excellent care of Shiver when i went away at easter, i still worried and called though lol.
If she's not available we have an excellent reptile store nearby who pet-sit :D
I personally wouldn't want to leave a cham alone for even one day, too much...
Haha, unfortunately she's 30 something and engaged lol :p
I was really worried about leaving Shiver, even if Christine had kept reptiles for years i would've still been worried.
I know it was a big risk but there was no one else i trusted as much, i have another friend ( early 20's but...
I've heard so many stories about bad reptile sitters with either very ill or dead chameleons when the owner comes back off holiday.
I've got the opposite :)
We went away last week and came back today, leaving Shiver in the care of a very good friend of mine.
My friend has no reptile...

Yeah, the sticky tape & honey has worked really well. I caught 2 scurrying across the carpet this morning and had about 20 on the bits of tape.
I haven't found any more yet.
Thanx for all of your advise :)
Luckily i didn't get any roaches - the only ones they had were too big.
He didn't get my locusts either luckily.
We've searched the room from top to bottom, hoovered everywhere possible and have put sticky tape with honey on in the dark corners of the room.
I'm laughing over it now, suppose...
Oh dear, that's a LOT more than what's loose here.
I think i've got most of them now, i've just put a load of sticky tape down with a bit of honey on so that should get the rest.
Yeah, i suppose it is ( no offense taken ), the dogs are shut out of the lounge but i think my partner left the door open even though he's not admitting it lol.
All of my bugs live on top of the fish tank at the mo ( about 5' high ) and he still managed to get them.
I've caught quite a few now...
Got home from work today and found that Max, my wolf hybrid, had got into the lounge and raided my box of crickets, box was on it's side with the lid off.
I had approx 500 crickets in there!!
I've spent the last 2 hours hunting them and only seem to have found 200 ish, as you can imagine...
Not sure about droppings, i would probably say white as that's what colour Shivers are and i know she's drinking plenty. :confused: Sorry, not much help there was i.
I've had her for roughly a month and she's only just started to drink from the misting ( well, in view anyway ).
I was...
Hi Boothy,
It's an 80 gallon tank, only got 6 now and they're about 7" and a 17" plec who bosses them around lol.
I heard that black diamonds had to be kept on their own as they're one of the most vicious species? Again, pet-store info so probably complete bull lol.
I phoned around all...
I started off using the one on the right - i use it on the stick insects now lol.
I have one the same as the one in the middle and shiver has really accepted it :)
This is the one i have now......
Shiver used to hate being misted as i was using a trigger spray to start with.
I now have a plant mister and she really enjoys it now, she walks into it cleans her eyes and drinks :D I don't have to use a pipette to give her water any more as she's gulping it down every misting - i'm doing...
