They are not in a cage, it's a free range. A cluster of trees and branches that they have free range of. It is in a high traffic area . There is nowhere in my tiny apartment that I can put it but there. I am in the process of looking for houses to buy and I am going to get an extra room...
Thank you. I do have a vet appointment but they can't get me in for a week! I have playsand and topsoil. I appreciate the help. Sorry I didn't give enough info. I think my question was answered anyway.
I have two Mellers chameleons and one of the two recently will not stay in the trees of his free range. He is constantly crawling around the ground and not eating or drinking very much. I have a humidifier below the free range, zoo med lighting tubes, 3 of them, one heat lamp for basking. It...
My Mellers Chameleons are supposed to be a male and a female. AH, how the heck do I know witch one is witch? I am trying to figure it out, my vet can't either. One is larger, is he the male? Also, how do you know when a female is gravid? The larger one has a belly but I think it is from...
When I have to take any reptile, I use a cooler with a heat pack or bottle. It keeps it warm in there but not too hot. I heat up my car ahead of time and hurry into it with the cooler. Maybe mist them also to keep humidity ok. They are much easier to transport than my frogs in the winter...
I don't know. Lack of screen I guess. I was just wondering because I am supposed to have a male and a female and I have one free range for both. I was misinformed about alot at the time of purchase. Maybe they are not male and female, they do not fight.
I have crickets and super meal worms hanging from bins in the trees. I have no idea of age. I just got them in December. One is 11oz. One is 9oz. I keep mostly frogs. I went to a reptile expo and fell in love with these guys. The guy told me it was ok to keep them in a 100 gallon aquarium...
I have just made a small free range for my Merelli. I live in a small apartment so the only room I have is one without a door. The table I have is 23 inches off of the ground. It has two fig trees and one schefflera. They keep escaping everyday! I watched one hang from his tail and then...
I am still working on the area. Generally, I would have done this before I purchased the animals, but I was misinformed and had them in a tank. I did find a cheflera but It's barely big enough for the two. I didn't think fake trees were ok. I will purchase one to get me through until spring...
Good news! One of the chameleons ate 5 crickets from my hand. Maybe the other will soon! I am still offering the bin of crickets. Hopefully they will eat from it.
