If you use outdoor or generic, unnamed plants, you can use a plant identifier app like one of these https://theplantguide.net/2017/08/23/best-plant-identification-apps/, then cross check to see if it's safe using the...
Yes! Here is the care sheet for veiled chams. Read down towards the bottom for the specific info on females. At the very bottom, there are a couple more links - 2 specifically on laying bins. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/
Additionally, you can search the entire site...
The very first thing you must do is read the care sheets. Everyone is going to ask you to do that repeatedly. I can send links, if that's easier?
Yes, she will need a lay bin. Oftentimes people keep a lay bin in the enclosure year round so that it's ready when she's ready. Having a female adds...
I'm sure there will be others to confirm this... but it looks like Pickles is probably a female.
Do you have pics of your enclosure? I know you said you had stuff on order... just want to make sure you have the right stuff for Pickles.
A silkworm.... it had been there awhile and she crawled over it to get to another one. When she realized it was right in front of her, she gave me this "duh" face lolol
After seeing @jannb s gorgeous Lola, I had to post the other side of the veiled female spectrum which is Ophelia... she is so my spirit animal... dorky and clumsy. A couple days ago, she was wearing black duct tape and today, well... let's just say she is just plain goofy!
I like the idea - they are solitary as adults, but you do see them grouped together in certain places (pet stores, expo's, breeders). I wish I was clever, but I'm really not. If I was, I would probably try to morph a word we use to lovingly poke fun at them like:
Googly Eyes
Tree Cow
Karate Chop...
Well, you probably have a lot to learn, they are definitely more of a challenging pet. If you haven't yet, check out the care sheets... they will have all the answers for a great setup. Search the discussions and ask questions. Let me know if you need any help. Welcome, Pickles!
So true... it's always something lol I am really stumped on how she ended up wearing it... honestly! I mean it's in the very, very back farthest most bottom corner. What did she do, walk down there and rub herself on the tape?? Omg seriously.
No, I took one look at that stuck to her and knew I...
Ya just never know what might cause harm, so I'm posting this in case it happens to anyone else.
New, big enclosure for Ophelia. As I was putting it together, the screwdriver slipped and I put a hole in the mesh in the farthest bottom corner. I only taped it up because I didn't want the...
Hi :) yes, definitely send some pics.
I have a female and when she was getting ready to lay, she would scratch at the walls and seemed very unsettled.
You might have to make some adjustments on the enclosure, lighting, etc. Or maybe the enclosure is near something that is bothering or...
