I have a very unfortunate end to what I'd hoped to be a great rescue story. I'd noticed Caerus sleeping during the day yesterday and he hadn't eaten in 3 days (he usually only ate every other day anyway), so I had made an appointment for the vet today. I didn't make it and he passed away last...
Thank you! I worked hard on it haha
Unfortunately I don't live in an area that would be good for him outdoors, currently. However, we're in the process of building a tiny home in a more tropical environment and he will have an outdoor enclosure there. We should be moving in February. ?
Update on Caerus! He is still a cranky boy, but he's gaining weight. We've settled in nicely to an every other day feeding of his favorite treats. He loves dubias, horn worms, and phoenix worms. Feeders are offered daily, but he generally only eats every other day. He's adjusted to the mister...
I have some rocks at home from repotting some succulents so I was going to use what I had left. I'm a frequent Dollar Tree shopper, so I always have a ton of random craft rocks and stuff haha
Just ordered 2 types of Pothos, an Umbrella Tree, a Dracaena Janet Craig, a 12ft moss vine to add to the 6ft one he currently has, a new misting bottle, and Phoenix worms from Josh's Frogs. Also waiting on his chameleon sampler from Rainbow Mealworms. ????
Also, snapped some more shots of the...
I'll definitely keep you guys updated! I'm so excited to see him fill out and show his happy colors, so I already know I'll be taking a million pictures. So far, I've only seen him bright once and he was sleeping. It's a terrible photo, but I didn't want to wake him.
@Beman, I actually have...
Awesome, thanks again. No need for veggies for him, just for gutloading. D3/multivitamin once every other week. Like I said originally, I've had animals my entire life. Never have I had such a finicky animal ? I'm really hoping the lives plants and continuing to work with him on our daily...
Okay, first off, thank you all for taking the time to give me some much needed information. I'm sorry it's a lot. I've made a list and want to ensure I'm not missing anything. There are a couple of follow up questions below the list, as well.
-calcium WITHOUT D3 6 days a week
-calcium WITH D3...
I guess I didn't make that very clear haha
I've only been misting the plants. If he's in the thickest bit of foliage, I just mist the opposite side and give him a bit to move out of that area so I could mist those leaves.
Alright, I'm at work so I've briefly skimmed these, but I'll read more in depth and take notes when I get home. Thank you all for taking the time to reply and help Caerus live a better life. I forgot to mention, I do have the chameleon sampler pack from Rainbow Mealworms on the way and I've been...
So, Sunday afternoon I ended up rescuing a male veiled chameleon from an acquaintance of my best friend. I've always wanted a chameleon and have experience with various amphibians, turtles, fur babies of all sorts, and livestock. My animal knowledge is pretty vast and I've been spending hours...
