Hey everyone! I had another member recommend I update you guys on my Backwater babies! They are now much bigger, healthy, and happy! I am so proud of them!
Hey there! A few things just to clarify the situation for you:
For various reasons, the groups have different ways of seeking help in situations like these. It’s hard to keep up with I know lol. But Petr saying all that about the survey is most likely attributed to the long history of...
Thank you so much! Sometime this year we will be selling enclosures, if shipping isn’t too ridiculous. Just fyi - our page is Upscaled Chameleons on facebook if you wanted to get updates on em!
Yes :) mine are made with wood but attached to the frame differently so they are more secure. They are also coated in a waterproofing spray but I cant remember the name!
Yes, they are Backwater Babies! Backwater definitely lived up to its poor reputation however. They came to me covered in burns at only two weeks old. However, with some round the clock care and TLC my babies are strong and healthy! This is what they look like today :)
They actually never ate the silks I offered them! But they had previously gotten flies. They hit a growth spurt though! Memphis is 6g and Denver is 4g!
I have two Parsonii Cristifer babies, hatched July of 2018. I have one that is now 3 grams and the other is only 1.5. Any tips on bulking up my little tyke? Thanks!
I appreciate your feedback, I honestly haven’t tried too many fixtures so I will be looking into the ones you’ve mentioned! I actually use Odyssea fixtures but I keep hearing that the ballasts burn out often. The two I have work beautifully though! I’m hoping I don’t have any issues with them.
Hi there! So I would recommend the following:
-mistking misting system
-Dragonstrand keeper series enclosure with dragonledges and drainage pan (get an atrium if you want the biggest enclosure they’ve got lol but not necessary for a panther)
-a nice rack to set it all on
-Arcadia fixture and UVB...
I may end up doing that. I just was hoping to find something that would be more visually pleasing in my den :LOL: I would love to turn a huge armoire into an enclosure but with as busy as I am caring for all my chams plus life in general, that would be difficult to say the least! Lol
Other than the dragon strand atrium (because online it says those won't be shipped for quite a while), does anyone have recommendations for an enclosure big enough for when my Parson's female is an adult? She is still very young, but I want to let her grow in her permanent home. I was thinking...
What was the total cost for this project? I recently got my first parsons, she is about a year old. She's comfy in a 24"x24"x48 dragon strand currently because she is still small but won't be for much longer.
I have my males on two 48" wide racks, holes drilled through the bottom of the enclosures to drain into tubs underneath. When I had just one chameleon, I got a cheap card table from walmart and did the same thing - holes drilled down into the enclosure bottom/table to drain into the tub underneath.
I am a cham-momma to 9 panther chameleons (a mix of WC and CB) and Thursday I will be welcoming my first Parson's!!! I noticed the info you had regarding supplements. For my panthers I use calcium carbonate and bee pollen dusted onto feeders every feeding and dust with Miner-all Indoor formula...
