He's definately not a baby...4 inches not including tail...
I'm hoping that hes just adjusting to his new environment...hes also sheddig which I just read can cause some fluctuations with eating habits...he's drinking water often and was moving all around his cage today literally...crawled...
Ive been feeding from a cup...I only tried the hand feeding to see if he would take it. He didnt. Getting smaller crickets right now and hopefully that will help.
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon -
sub adult Jackson...roughly 4 inches nose to butt, not sure how old be is exactly ordered him from lllreptiles
How long has it been in your care?
1 week
* Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon?
Handled him today only in an atttempt to hand...
One more question..my guy is about 5 inches nose to butt...crickets I have are around3/4 inch to an inch...those are the smallest I could find besides tiny ones. Are those too big for him? Could this possibly be a "these crickets are too big what is this women thinking" scenario?
Just got a sub adult male Jackson 4 days ago. He drinks but won't eat at all. Plenty of live plants, misting several times a day, dripped, lighting, heating...everything.
I've been using free range gut loaded.crickets...could it be that he's used to cup feeder with old owner?
I've decided you guys are right...going with a 6 month old male instead...
Returning the under heat pad...
Question though...do I still need a dripper if I have a mister?
Ive never owned a chameleon but have always wanted one. I have a full cage set up. 18" 18" 36" screen on all sides.....spot light, uva/uvb light...mister, drip system, thermometer(3) spaced at warmest middle and coolest spots...
I was told that a.heat pad under the tank would help keep...
