By my plannings around 7-9 weeks. I have researched it, and isn't it easy just to put an orange or something in there (that's what I did sooooo....) While it pains me, I have two empty cages, both of which will be necessary to house all those crickets. One of those is the one that recently became vacant (RIP Leo), and while I acted like it wasn't much of a bother because he was a sickly old lizard, I was mourning for 3 hours while I dug a 2' deep hole with a tiny trowel. The vines had barbed thorns and there were nine accidents. Gonna miss ya buddy.
I will only get another chameleon when I have had her for a year or two and I have proven to myself I can care for them as well as I tell myself I can. And I'm really really sorry I forgot again I will post it in 6 hours when I wake up. I get the most focused shot but you always say it's blurry..... Then again this thing doesn't have the worlds best camera. But yeah, I'll get that foot picture for ya.
Also I don't know who told me to reread the care sheet for veileds I did. Thought I'd put that out there. I screenshotted the important stuff (that I need to remember)
Also I was worried that the browned scales/spikes on the top of her spine were something bad, but Sheac's Cham has the same thing. So either I'm good or we're both wrong...personally I'm pretty sure I'm good.
I hope for her sake that nothing is wrong. This should have been solved days ago.
I hope so too, and if something is wrong I will demand my mom takes me to the vet that day. Tired of my reptiles dying of her stubbornness.
(As its been pointed out, I seem to have inherited this from her.) I was actually going to get a Rudis chameleon (trioceros sternfeldi) and was completely surprised with Chiche. But hey, what can ya do? Can't exactly give her back now. Also, if I were to get another it would be a small one, such as the Jax or, as I was planning, a Rudis. Before, however, I would like to ensure I know what I'm getting myself into. Maybe I should start a cricket farm lol.
Fair enough. And you weren't really being a dick, atleast not from my perception. I've heard it before. That orange was for 30 crickets, and only 17 remain.
Ok so I looked, oranges were reccomended and so were other fruits and veggies like potatoes carrots and for some reason bee pollen...?
He wasn't saying stop oranges, but rather you shouldn't rely ONLY on oranges. Mix it up with greens, sweet potatoes, and yes bee pollen or cricket crack, things like that. These things are recommended because they're tried and true.
I think your signature below your posts should apply to your self, rather than a show of of wise quotes.
Yeah well. It wasn't my idea. As was everything else for the past month, the 500 crickets were her idea. Also if you could kindly stop pretending you have any idea about what I can do and take care of, that would be wonderful. Obviously she has 4 legs by the way. Thanks for satisfying my worries about the swollen toes. And I don't ignore people, only looking for "the snippets that suit me." Well I listen to everyone, I just don't always respond. I agree prevention is better, which is why I post frequently inquiring about her health, I didn't intend to sit here and babble with people insistent upon something where all they know is that a leopard gecko died and the owner's parents are too stubborn and cheap to go to the vet. Also I don't see why I can't start a pet sitting business, especially considering you don't know how much I know about what kind of pet and for that matter why should you care? I've cared for all my pets well enough, discluding the ones from 5 years ago when I didn't know what i was doing, and I've pet-sat before. I was simply stating I was going to, if you have a logical reason on as of why I shouldn't petsit with logical evidence is love to hear it. Since there isn't one, however, I'd like to get back to the actual title.... HEALTHFULNESS. She seems kinda skinny but not like "ugh I've been inh the desert for a week and am dying of thirst and hunger," more like "I didn't eat a meal over the weekend and I'm hungry, though I had a bunch of granola bars."Well that's 500 dead crickets.
That will be 500 more with a side of confirmation bias, please.
