i have a veiled Cham who is in a screen enclosure. I do not have a water softener system in my house, so the water I use for his MistKing is leaving awful hard water stains on his cage. I can tell it's that , and not from his calcium powder for crickets because the areas are only where his...
I've had my Veiled for 4 months now. He has a mixture of fake plants and one large live plant. I started with a Schefflera plant , which he loved. However it died after about a month. Then I got a croton which is now doing the same. I am not sure if they are dying from the amount of water from...
I have three large branches in my chameleon's cage, two are from either Exo Terra or Flukers ( I can't remember which brand I went with) and one is from a local reptile shop. They have been in my chams cage since December. I noticed only one one of them ( and I can't remember if it is one I...
thanks! I wasn't afraid of it being an abnormal thing. I just found it strange that I couldn't find out more about it and why they do it, or anyone else talking about their cham doing it. Its pretty cool and strange at the same time. Makes me wonder though in the wild, they must be east prey for...
Ok, so I know I cant be the only owner of a veiled chameleon, or a chameleon in general that notices this about their sleep behavior. But I Googled this and searched for a forum on here and found nothing related..... Do chameleons body or motor functions shut down while they are sleeping? Harvey...
He for sure is a shy drinker. When I mist him he opens his mouth 3-4 times but I feel like it's barely any water getting in his mouth. But then again their bodies are much much much smaller than ours so maybe that's a lot of water for them? Also I have been curious about this... when he is being...
im sorry, I'm probably annoying everyone because this is probably my third or fourth post. Not about this but in general. Anyhow. I had a dripper set up, it was one I bought called Magnaturals. It's the magnetic one that sticks to the side. Only saw my Cham drink from it maybe twice. Also...
Thank you! So the noise I have found he ONLY makes when he's being misted and trying to drink. So I think he is fine. I'm wanting to go today to get a plant for the patio. But the spot I'm at does not get any direct sunlight. Kind of sucks. Is there a plant that is safe for him, but surges in...
Ok cool! Thank you both. I have another question but I don't want to start a new thread and seem annoying. So I'll just ask y'all. So just now as I was misting Harvey's cage, he made a noise. It's not the huffing they do through their nostrils. It sounded like if a baby is drinking out of a...
My Veiled has started to warm up to me.... a little. Better than he was a couple weeks ago. I've noticed him climbing a lot on the screen though as if he wants to explore more, and when I open his cage door to mist him he comes right up to me and tries to come out. I wanted to be able to bring...
Thanks! I've heard that too. That at least know water is available to them which is why I have the dripper. But I will most certainly be getting an automatic mister soon. Let me ask this though. So Harvey ( my Cham) has a cup that I put worms in if he won't take it from my hand. And because of...
Thank you ! I'm super happy right now bc the syringe came in the mail. Again my Cham is still not too fond of me. But I was patient and spent 15 min just letting him see the water dripping from the syringe. Then I misted him well( believe it or not he actually comes out of hiding when I mist him...
Well you won't believe me then either. Lol. But I do stand there for 4-5 minutes, with a timer on. Honestly, I desperately want him to drink
So bad that I do stand there and say " come on buddy drink for mommy" and mist him as long as I can. Haha. And I thought he was drinking the mist like you...
Ok thank you. If I am able to pull this off, and he drinks from the shower... do you know if this is something I'll have continue to due daily, or do you think once I get his initial instincts to drink he should continue to drink ok from his cage?
So after I posted this I saw him sitting in front of his dripper watching the water drops. He drank two so far out of the 10-15 drops it produced. It's almost like his timing is off with the drops. Like he will go to flick his tongue at it, but the water will have dropped by then. It's set to...
So I have posted a thread already a few days ago in regards to not knowing if my Veiled was dehydrated or getting enough water. But I know for sure now he is dehydrated. I've only had him 2 weeks and 3 days. I've seen him drink 3-4 droplets from his dripper two separate times, and once from the...
