Just because YOU have not heard of it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

link me, and i will take back everything ive said, but from my own experiance, and dr ferguson, I beleive its false

If I can remember the name of a thread I will link you.

as long as there is a photo or video of them doing it, i will

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

Because people definately easily take videos of random events of them getting dirt caught with their bugs.

 

[Canny Chams]

i watch my chams feed. I would see if they got a substantial enough peice of dirt in there mouth

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

You watch. That doesn't mean you videotape.

 

[Canny Chams]

ok if someone says they first hand saw it

PS: i videotape 2 times a month to see eating habits and changes

I don't see why your hounding this prson. That cage will work till he's roughly 5 and a so so amount of days. You have time to set up a new cage. Substrate I bad, it collects mol. So think about that. Same with old water,with a possibility he coul poo in it or drown. Don't let a little 14 yea old look keyboard gangter and act like she's boss cause she's had a chameleon forever and a day. Simple answers are nice. Don't need a lifestory.

Lol, at least the keyboard gangster can use her keyboard to spell, and give a reason why 'substrate I bad' (it collects mol, lol). You added nothing much except an attempt to mock a 14 year old, why didn't you keep it simple and nice yourself?

lol attempt to mock how smart a 14 year old is FAIL. I think she knows more bout chams than you (emcee101)

That doesn't matter whether or not you see him eating it now. It can be ingested in the future EASILY. Don't be ignorant.

i've seen clair go and eat random flowers and soil outside and shes never had a poop problem. i think healthy animals can eat it no problem unless they get a rock or something. you need to relax just a little. its not a fight were giveing advise and hope people will take it. i dont use substrate becuz i FR and thats the closeist habbitate i can give my chams to what they want. so i dont think impaction is a huge risk(although its possible) more plants that go up would be better for that cage. eventually that stuff on the botten will get moldy or something becuz of mistings.


that cage will work for a while. good thing you knew your cham baby would grow out of it...and you can use it for something else when they do! (mabey a new cham ?) goodluck and have fun!

before i started suplementing my panther cham (my freind nocked my calcium jar into my sink....) lol he used to try to get his substrate ive only seen it once i pulled the coco fibres out of his mouth... i havnt seen my chams do it since..... i believe that substrate isnt all that bad unless you have a cham that is always on the bottom.... my veilded never goes down to the bottom even when hunting and my panther i havnt seen him trying to eat his substrate (its over exagerated but there is a possability of impaction)
so use at your own risk

By The Way your cage looks great id keep it till he is obv grown out of it around 5-6 months then just get a 24x24x48 cage and your good dude

yes!!! thats right. thankyou ^^. but honestly it doesnt matter. everyones here for the same purpose. we just want to help and make shure chams are happy and healthy.

I too, would suggest another one pretty soon as 18 inches high is not much at all for a larger species such as a veiled. Check your local craigs list every day for cages, sometimes you can get great deal on there!

or, check out our site sponsor, DIY cages. I think you can get a 24 x 24 x 48 for about 90 bucks shipped!! Its a great deal. So just save up your money for a little bit, as In my opinion he will be fine in there for a little bit, just depends on how quickly he grows.

you're set up now looks pretty nice. nice job

if she does eat random flowers and soils there is a high risk of impaction, it doesnt take a rock, it just takes build up. I would suggest you check your supplementation and or if you are feeding her enough
