I got this yesterday =] Hehe!
I'm assuming it is male, and he is an amel corn snake =]
He's quite shy at the moment but is slowly gaining confidence ^_^

Hi Tygerr, thanks for your reply.
I am aware that I should be supplementing with all 3, but its really hard to get hold of those sorts of things around here without using the internet and I wasnt sure about using the D3 when i didnt have a calcium supp without it.
I will get hold of a D3...
Hi Justin, thanks for the reply.
What do you supplement with?
I currently use Zoo Med's Reptivite (I don't know if this is a good one, I just wanted to give him something as I havent found a calcium supp without D3)
What days do you supplement?
I supplement on one day twice a month...
Hey guys.
Been a while since I've come here ^^ busy doing college work *yay*
Anyway, I was feeding Herman earlier and noticed his nostrils are white. It looks like their shedding but im not sure... Here are some pics (phone quality, sorry)
The last time he shed was...3 weeks...
Oh ok then =] thats good =]
Am also really happy cause the bit of shed between his eyes thats been there since before I got him has finally gone =]
I thought he might be going into a shed, his skin started to look a bit....wrinkly lol
Well, as long as I know this behaviour is normal...
Ok well today herman went through his first shed (in my care).
Most of it is off theres just a couple of bits left.
The main reason for this thread though is - is it normal for chams to go nuts during this time xD
Well, its not exactly nuts, but its not his usual behaviour.
First he...
Haha
Just wanted to let you know an hour or so after the last post I decided to see if he wanted anything to eat before I left him alone for the night. So I put some crickets into a container and put it in his enclosure. He looked at the crickets for a while and decided he didnt want any...
Haha yeah. It was just the first thing I found which would mean I wouldnt have to touch the crickets!
Thanks everyone =] He doesnt seem at all stressed but I am still giving him his peace though (despite how hard it is lol) =]
Thanks Julirs for the info. How often do chams poo? I havent...
Ok, so on Sunday I got my first Chameleon. His name is Herman (the bf got to name him xD).
Im not sure how old he is so if you could give me your estimates that would be great. My guess is about 2-3 months?
He has some shed between his eyes. Have been trying to keep humidity above 60. It...
College and Uni doesnt quite work the same over here as it does in the US, but im currently in my 2nd (last) year of college studying biology, chemistry and Computing.
Im taking a year off after my exams in june, and then going to study veterinary nursing either at college (2 years) or at...
I just read through all the posts in this thread and would just like to point something out.
Mutations occur in the wild, and usually for a reason. If mutations did not occur, evoulution couldn't either, and therefore even humans could not exist.
Even the cham we know and love today is a...

Hey guys.
Im looking to find a good reliable source for my food in the UK as well as wondering if there is anywhere that sells silkworms here or that ships here without having to spend at least $50-$100.
Am just trying to get all my references sorted before i buy my cham so it would be...
I posted this question in my "introduction" thread, but feel it is more suited here.
" im using a full screen Exo Terra "Flexarium" (38 gal to start with) and was just wondering what flourescent lighting you reccomend and how much UVB i should provide the chameleon with (i.e. 10.0% or 5.0%)...
Thanks for the warm welcomes :)
