So, it has been a hectic week having adopted Ozzy and learning all about chameleons. I know have 4 more questions...1) How do you know when a chameleon is dehydrated? 2) How do you know when a chameleon is about to shed? 3) What is this white stuff around his face? is it him starting to shed or...
I live in Greece on one of the islands and regular food supplies for my newly adopted chameleon is going to be a huge issue. I have just been told about a small fishing shop that sells live bait ' from maggots to big worm type things'. I am going to investigate in the morning but:- can...
I have now been the proud carer of Ozzy (the dumped vieled chameleon) for 1 week. If you had asked me about chameleons this time last week i would of said 'lizard, long tongue, changes colour'...lol.
Thanks to you all and the great forum that you have here, Ozzy is well on the road to...
Is there any way to age a vieled chameleon? Having just adopted one and learning all about them rather quickly, i would be interested to know how old he is?
I was more thinking of getting anything bad out and gut feeding grasshoppers for a few days. Sorry i didn't explain better.
I am going to have a go at breeding my own crickets but again it takes time and i have to get Ozzy eating. I am going to supplement him with wild caught food as the...
I have just adopted a chameleon that has been starved. I have had to wait a week for the pet shop to get me crickets and i have just paid 14 euros( 18 dollars) for what is maybe 30 (if i am lucky) live crickets. I am english but live in Greece and trying to explain what i want is difficult. My...
I have spent the day working out a water drip system and then had the bright idea of going to the pharmacy and buying an infusion set and a bottle of sterile water. Having emptied the water and run the system through a few times, it works perfectly and all for 2.50...lol. I have made a hole in...
Thanks for the link. I have just checked his eyes and looked at the photos and his eyes are not as bad as they look. I will try to get another photo again tomorrow. I am now sat exploring how to make my own drip drinking thingy..I have to say this is a challenge. My iguana was a rescue and i...
His poop is solid but has no white urates in?? I misted twice yesterday and twice today and now have his temp and humidity about right. I have replaced one of the glass doors with mesh and will have to wait until the weekend for my husband to make me replacement mesh doors. I have been out into...
Is there any way to age a chameleon? Having read what feels like hundreds of pages i haven't come across anything. I can now tell you that he is definately a he...lol. Ozzy is now a lovely colour and quite happily sitting in fresh hibiscus. I have (hopefully) attached some photos. One more...
Just a quick update. I have been and bought a new hydrometer and thermometer tonight so that tomorrow i can work on getting that side of things right for him. At the moment i am unable to find the proper bulbs but have him by my balcony doors so that he can catch some rays when it is nice. I...
I have had a vieled chameleon given to me. The owners bought it as a present for their 7 years old son who thought it was boring. Being that i am in Greece and they cost anything upto 250 euros they have more money than brains !!! I have never had one of these and will be honest i have no clue...
