Thanks for the encouragement, ive really been struggling with him lately. I had to move him a few weeks ago and force him onto my hand and hes been super aggressive lately. I lost all the trust i built. 😭 i feel so guilty
I dont feel like its the temperatures i feel like theyre just jacking around honestly. I received a shipment today with moldy potatoes inside, ive never had that happen before.
Ill definitely look into them if i decide upon roaches. Ive mainly only had crickets so far as he seems to be a bit picky. I got horn worms once and while he did eat a couple, he was not amused.
Hello!
I am currently a customer of Joshs frogs for feeders and i am not happy. We do not have any local shops you can get feeders from so i rely on mail in services. However joshes frogs keeps sending my packages late and leaving the bugs in the mail for a week or more. Leaving me with no food...
Thank you all so much 😭 i do actually think milford is the closest. You all have calmed my fears about shoving him in a box a little better lol i was really worried about the stress that would put on him. Swelling has gone down a bit today and looks like he is in the same condition he was prior...
Okay it got worse, up until yesterday it was staying about the same maybe a bit better. But he has been going to sleep as early as 5-7 pm on some days which he has always done if its dark and cloudy out; so i hoped for the best. Yesterday he was asleep when i got home at 6, today he is awake and...
I struggled w crickets too. Idk if this will help but I learned that theyre much more dependent on water than food so i keep a dish with a saturated paper towel in there and just feed this different food scraps maybe once a week or flukers cricket cube food (just to keep them alive). Also i keep...
I gave him a 3 minute misting yesterday and today i admittedly forgot. (Lights out now) Will try a five minute misting tmmrw and probably everyday until resolved. When i fed him today he was still winking. But he was back in the foliage so i didnt want to stress him.
I will order a new uvb bulb...
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - male, panther, approx. 1 yr, he came into my possession last spring from framchams
Handling - i do not handle him, i sit/stand next to the cage during feeding. Attempts to put my hands near him seem to deeply stress him and i am trying to build trust, however in...
A little while ago i posted that i was concerned about my dudes eyes looking puffy around the bottom. Evefyone said he looked normal so i just let it go and kept watching him.
Now ive been noticing he may have his eye/s closed during the day but opens them if he notices me nearby. Today i came...
We also have had a raging cage of fungus gnats for many months now, ive been trying to get rid of them via sticky traps and mosquito bits. Ut i scared i might accidentally poison Mr Melon if i leave them in there or too much juice.
Now that im looking at old photos maybe it isnt that bad maybe...
My cham has had swollen eyes for nearly a week now, theyre not getting any better or worse, im not sure what to do about it or whats caused it?
Ive been ill lately so i admit he has not recieved the best care. But i recently replaced his uvb bulb for a new one, and added a sansii grow bulb...
I have a pretty heavily planted enclosure and it is mainly pothos, but even after cleaning my cage has a bit of a smell, does anyone have any tips for keeping things squeaky clean in a heavily planted environment?
I really couldnt fit many more plants in if i tried. All my plants are potted...
So melon (7mo old panther male) has been in his new large cage for a couple months now, I collected all the sticks locally from my yard and my parents yard, these sticks were too big to fit in my oven, so i just closely inspected them and sanded and cut them. But now alot of dust coming from my...
So i just moved my guy into his new xl 24 in wide zoomed cage from the L 18 in cage the night before last so were on day 2.
My basking spot is farther away from him now because I wanted it to be big enough for him as an adult. Plus i have a double deep dome lamp so the bulb is pretty far away...
I woke up today to find that my chameleon has what looks to be a piece of skin on his butt, should i be concerned? Should i just wait for me to pass it? He is behaving normally.
It is definitely hanging out of his vent, he has not shed recently; only a couple weeks ago. But i wouldn't be...
Im setting up a larger cage for my panther cham, what are some things you wish you knew or wish you did before you set them up?
Or just brag about your current setup (w pics of course) 😉
What are your fav plants? (other than pothos)
Im not intentfully harming my chameleon. I am doing my best; thats why i have asked for help. Now that i know better i would not do it again. I have recognized a problem and understood that i am not solving it fast enough; so i have reached out to the chameleon community.
Id understand why...
Lol thanks, i held it in there to teach him violence is not the answer but i felt like i was abusing him 😭 i think ill paint mine green like the plants lol
