Made with 3/4 inch plywood, painted the inside a greenish colour to keep things as natural for him as possible. He seems to love it, every time I check on him he's somewhere different checking it all out! Please feel free to let me know what you think and if there are any improvements I can make :)!
Really like what you've done here mate! Got a few questions if you don't mind as I'm about to start something similar myself. Do you have any idea if the coco fibre will end up going off and mouldy after time? And do you have any idea if the foam and silicone are safe to use in a chameleons...
She usually lies like that to soak up the heat first thing in the morning when the light goes on (which is when I took the pics)
The problem with live plants is she prefers locusts to crickets and the locusts eat the plants in no time at all, I've had loads of live plants but was tired of...
Nutrobol Is the name of the supplement I use. It's almost always carrots, kale or potato I feed the locusts and worms, I'll try more of a variety from now on. Getting her drinking regularly is what I'm most concerned about
She's lying sort of weird, think she's trying to soak up as much heat from her lamp as she can. She's been spayed so she shouldn't have anything to worry about egg wise. She's got her eyes closed a lot but she opens them when I'm around her. I've got a vets appointment in an hour for her
Female veiled, 9 months old, reptibreeze enclosure, temperature is around 75 degrees, probably 80 at her top branch where she spends most of her time, humidity is usually around 50, feed her 6 locusts a day, I gut load the locusts with any veg we have in the fridge (9 out of 10 times carrots)...
Not egg bound, her ovaries weren't forming her eggs properly for her to lay them, I'm not sure the medical term for it but her eggs weren't proper eggs if that makes any sense
It was touch and go for a while but finally after a week with the vet Wiz is home and well, eating and drinking again and she's got a bit colour back.. She's also got a war wound to show for her trouble!
Ah ok thanks! Hopefully she's just waiting for a bit peace before she decides lay them, I've covered her and I'm away out for the night so fingers crossed she'll have a wee nosey about the sand tonight :)
It seems to be the corners of her substrate tray she goes to and scrapes, it is sand I use as substrate so I can't understand why she won't go near the laying bin. Trial and error I suppose, will give her the weekend and if no luck it'll be a trip to the vet, thanks for your help
yeah this will be her first clutch she's only 8 months. Will try more sand with a sheet over her enclosure and give her until Monday then if still nothing take her to a vet. She is clawing and trying to dig everything other than her laying bin it is so frustrating lol
Having problems getting my female to lay her eggs. There is a bucket in her enclosure about 8 inches full of sand (moist enough to dig a tunnel without collapsing) but she isn't even looking at it, there are no marks to suggest she's been in it, she has around 10 hours of privacy every day...
