i know everyone means well and its hard not to get feel strongly about chameleon care when you love the animal so much. just always want whats best for them
nooo i dont mean that saying about the enclosures is bad advice, or that any advice is bad at all, all the advice has been helpful and im very thankful for it. just think that it can be abit threatening when you have somthing different than everyone else.
I am going to take the lights out...
haha i knooww, felt terrible when i put pictures of my enclousure up and got shouted at. but the poor thing would be freezing if he was in mesh. dont like the lights being inside though since he has got burnt soo going to have to fix that somehow..
dont think people outside UK realise that...
yeah i understand that, but its the same with most reptiles and animals. there are so many things that can go wrong and so many ways you can do somthing right. but definatly i would say with chameleons owners seem to be a lot more careful to do things right.
I do think that caring for any...
hahaa i knooww
havent taken much of his advise gonna get the lights out and the water dish once hes happily drinking from the drip system and through misting.
but i have noticed cham care is very different in europe and the UK compared to america and both keep happy healthly chameleons...
just a quick update
got a family friend who is a reptile vet in our local zoo to come out and have a look at him and his enclosure. he had healed by then but still wanted him cheaked out.
he says that he was burnt by the light from being in contact with it, since hes got bigger recently i...
my cham fell once and it frightened him, he went very dark brown and curled up in a ball where he landed. she may have fallen and was just in defense mode.
oh shes sleeping there now.. sorry got mixed up
okay thankyou, ive think i can easily cut through into the top and cover it with mesh then place the buld on top what would o do with the UVB light thats inside? is that harmful. for now ive moved the tree he basks on further away so he can get as close. I do mist 2-3 times a day but i though...
okaay i get that i need to make changes i understand what the problem is
can i please have advise on how to make them!
im in northern ireland and yes it is cold, every reptile shop here keep thier chams in the enclosure and have the lights inside. i dont know how i can have them outside...
okay thanks.
going to try to fix the quickest things first, screen cages arent easy to find here thats what i orginaly wanted but was unable to find any. so im going to have to order one online.
Only thing is he doesnt cope well with change and hates to be handeled just be worried about...
there is no other enclosures that ive found here, it was either that or completey glass.
if it is the light why hasnt this happened before?
is there anything i can do, maybe order a new enclosure with the light outside?
he wasnt being given calicum on his food and was dehydrated for the first two months of his life. so i feel that may have affected his development and it was just too late to be corrected sadly.
it does give him a bit of charater i think
