Adult beardies handle adult dubias easily but keep in mind like mentioned above that their diet as adult is like 80% fruits and veggies and 20% insect...with that in mind, considering you feed them every other day, you will run out of adults within months lol I feed mine about 10 adults a week...
I believe that's just him absorbing heat and uvb. My Cham gets a little darker still when he's close to this basking spot. Once he's had enough, he's back roaming around with his normal colors.
I've read that luring them with worms does the trick. So maybe wait on his feeding time a little, and offer him a worm on your hand and see if he comes to you. Once he gets closers, have a stick ready so he climbs on it then just get him out. It could take a few tries but if he's hungry it'll...
I could recommend @Matt Vanilla Gorilla . I got Taco from him and he's been a charm! I don't know if he has any left thou because when I got Taco, I think he only had two. He came in tip top condition, eating and drinking well.
Yeah I heard on the chameleon breeder podcast that if too much calcium is given, it accumulates in the joints and organs. But they also mentioned that is also caused by poor vitamin and mineral supplementation. It was a couple weeks back so I'm not quiet sure what exactly they said but it was a...
All these ouija board stuff is not for me. I just came here to feed my forum addiction lol I've heard too many stories when I was younger from family members and friends that I'll run like a maniac if someone's playing it in front of me lol
Hi kinyonga, I don't know if I missed you or someone mentioning it, but he said that his cage is on the floor. I read chameleons don't like being low on the ground and the higher the cage is, the better. So maybe if he places his cage on a rack or stand where he is looking down on everything...
I haven't bought nicks cups yet so idk if the bottom is black, if it is, maybe paint it white so they stand out. Of course, with a reptile safe acrylic paint or layer it with white plastic (?).
My Cham also didn't mind them for a week and only ate 2 at feeding but for a couple days that's all I offered him and he eats them now no problem. I mixed them with some wax and he got one in his mouth and hasn't looked back since. Also, I gutloaded them well with carrot, collar and mustard...
That's looks like a well varied diet. Have u tried other kinds of roaches? Banana, hissing, or orange heads? I think nick has them right now at fullthrottlefeeders. I wanted to get some stick insects too but when I read they need to be separated it deter me because lack of space. I currently...
Not meaning to hijack the thread but on one of the latest chameleon breeder episodes with John Courtney(?) About vitamins and minerals he mentions a powder that's "full spectrum" and contains an incredible amount of supplements. I was wondering what is the name? and if it's only available in the...
Today was hot here in California and I noticed mine walking on the lower end of the enclosure. Almost where the pot is. I have vines and sticks there all over so I was wondering if it was too hot. I check the Temps with a gun and sure enough, it was 88-89. He's 3 months old sone it should be a...
I was gonna put a heat mat under my bucket but the bacteria scared me I opted out. I've read here that either way, by the time the water comes out the mistking nozzle, it's so fine that it goes back to almost room temp and making the heating process useless if u want warm water to come out. Not...
Wow with all those vet visits and meds you probably paid the vets mortgage a few times over!! Lol good to be part of the forum where people like you exist (y) and yes I will be adding a couple extra bucks every check, and hopefully when I have doubled it at least, Matt will have some babies...
I meant they stay in the high60s not 50s lol I have a digital hydrometer/thermometer I got from amazon for like $10 and seems to be ok temperature wise when compared to my temp gun. I didn't buy a analog because they do seem to be off quiet a bit. I don't have away to second check the humidity...
On the picture labeled "top" u could see a "horn" coming through I believe but I might be seeing things lol looks a little dark hole but something inside . I have no clue thou
Where in cali? I'm from Los Angeles and my humidity stays in the high 50s 60s mostly and high 80s low 90s after misting. I have 2 sides covered with shower curtain cutouts. I do leave my windows closed and only open them when I get home to get fresh air but even then it's in the 50s. I have a...
Wow for $800 I would buy a shed from your home depot/lowes. I've seen them in the 400s then put screen on the windows and leave them open, also maybe even removing a door and put a screen. A fan inside to help with airflow. Also, I've seen large bird cages being recommended and cover them with...
