Hey guys, so over the past few months my veiled has lost a interest in some feeders. He LOVES his crickets and supers, but he has lost almost all interest in horn,butter, and silk worms. My guess its because the crickets and supers move alot so it peaks his interest. Ive tried the whole cycle...
Correct , I miss read your first post as in looking for hornworms to go ahead and feed .
I've read that hornworms burrow around 6-8 inches in the ground when in the pupae state .
Happy Hunting !
Tomato plants are toxic to chameleons , so you if you feed a chameleon a hornworm that has been on a tomato plant you run a risk of harming your chameleon. So I wouldn't bother trying to go find some unless you are using them as a breeding project
Yeah haha , I have learned that Reptiles much like everything else in the world, the more respect, time , and love you put into them the more you will receive. Just sit back , dont get discouraged , and enjoy you little man for everything he is :p
My veiled Merlin he is a funny little man. He loves to come out of his cage and tolerates being handled under his terms . Like if I was to try and put a stick in front of him, he puffs up and bites at it. He isn't afraid of my hand and will gladly hand feed, but I cant lure him out on my hand. I...
What exaclty is your feeding schedule? Variety is key, and with all of those feeders he is getting a abundance of nutrients! Sometimes my veiled goes on a cricket strike , so I just lay off the crickets for a couple of feed days and supplement with a different bug/ bugs! You can gutload the...
Hey Everyone ! It's been a while since I've updated ! Merlin one of Jann's great grands has grown up into a grouchy man, but he still loves to come out and shower and explore! Hope everyone is well !
IMHO I think more coverage would be a great thing, you can get some flukers brand fake leaves and such from amazon
Get a couple of them and create sine hiding spots for your little friend
I wouldnt worry about it until the morning, there have been plenty of cases were chameleons lay the eggs at night because they feel safer at night. You dont want to stress her out any more than you have to. Let her be tonight, turn the lights off and go to bed. First thing in the morning, try to...
Looks like a start to a great piece! You are going to need a night bulb, and you are going to want to make sure you seal the bottom of it , it looks like particle board to me, so it wont hold up very long under being wet/weight of plants. Do you mean its going to be sitting directly onto...
Yes and No, Many chameleon puff up big and flatten out when they are basking ( they also darken the colors up during this process) Also, they will puff up big when they get mad or see another male (that process is what many people refer to as "Firing Up" If you can gain the trust of your...
Merlin is mine, the other two are Jannbs and Dezs(other forums members) Others can do it do, Luie was actually a petsmart buy I do believe. Other chams can turn out high yellow and others can be orange. It all depends on the bloodline, and how you treat them! You can always email the seller to...
Oh Me , Here we go again with Panthers getting all the credit for the color;)The images above show great examples! If you haven't seen some really nice veiled colors I'm going to attach some for you of mine and some of the other forums members:) The first image is of my little man Merlin...
haha whoops, thats what I meant! I'm in the middle of watching tv , so I got a little distracted. And as for the flies, LLLreptile sells flightless fruitflies for baby chameleons, as for when they get older, you can get reptiworms, which grow in the black soldier flies. I get blue bottle flies...
Most Chams, will eat all of the above! No need to apologize , It makes me very happy you are taking the proper steps to becoming the best cham owner you can be!!! You should look at making a feeder bowl/jug for all the feeders. My veiled loves hornworms and superworms! You should look into...
