Thank you. I should not have been so arrogant as to think I could have saved her. That's a costly mistake.

Here is Frank after his afternoon eye drops. He is still shedding.


Alan eat from my hand for the first time today. Tee hee.

 

[biffle]

Here is a shot of Alan.

I would be careful handling them too much or stressing them too much at such a young age. Their health is greatly effected by stress.

My only concern is that you say you will house the chameleon in a green house in warm weather. Is there a screen top or sides to it? Not all glass/acrylic allow for UVB rays to pass though. You might need to have a UVB bulb in the greenhouse.

 

[biffle]

The vet said that I should be putting the drops in twice a day. I've cut it to once a day to reduce the stress. Are you saying that I should cut it futher?

I've had three vet visits, the next is in two weeks. other than that these guys don't get touched. They are in a room with little to no traffic.

I'm finding that my plans with these guys are fluid, changing as I learn more from experience and the experienced. I'll plan their long term outdoor enclosure after I stabilize them.

I would follow the vets direction on the meds but you have only had them 3 weeks and it just seems to me a vet visit once a week is a bit much for them.

Yeah I get ya. It's not so easy on the pocket book either. The vet said that he needs to check the progress on Frank because he wasn't sure of the issue. He believes the drops can stop in two weeks since we are seeing progress.

Alan (#1) went to the vet for the first time today.

Frank right after a shed.

Alan just starting a shed.

My dog Meatsauce shedding.

 

[ReptiGeek]

First, love the parsons, they're looking awesome.
Secondly, Meatsauce is so CUTE. Love them boxers, I have a 13 week old brindle.

 

[biffle]

Brindle boxer? Here is my boy Mr Beefy. He is literally the best dog ever.

There are specific greenhouse coverings that do permit UV to pass through, but again you'd need to make sure they would allow the correct part of the spectrum. What might be OK for plant growth (considering you'd be getting the stuff from greenhouse grower suppliers) might not be correct for herps.

Tomorrow's lunch just hached. Cool!

What do you feed those flies?

 

[biffle]

I've been using nick barta's recommendation of 50% milk 50% powdered sugar.
The 1st time I added it too early in the maggot stage. Half the maggots downed. This time I waited until they were spikes for 4 days. I also added water crystals.

So far so good.

What do you feed those flies?

 

[biffle]

It's time to brag! Frank eat 25 bb flies yesterday, 6 large crickets and 4 small hissers from my hand today!

Frank rules!

And how much water? Hydration is very important.

 

[biffle]

Somehow I got it in my head that most of their water comes from dew drops in the humid mornings. I'm not sure if it's good or bad but I've been spraying the cages down pretty heavily about 15 minutes before their lights come on.

My mister runs 80 degree water 3 times a day for 2 minutes. Both cages have the mister nozzles mounted outside of the cage above the screen. This creates water droplets that last for 30 minutes to an hour. you can see them in the 2nd pic. I also heavily hand spray them in the afternoon. Last but not least I have a little dripper that I drip all day every other day.

My 2 boys have found different ways to drink. Frank will only drink the drops from the top of the cage, Allan likes the 2 minute mister drips and the all day drips.

I'm not 100% sure they are getting enough water as I’m still getting used to their species behaviors as well as their individual personalities.. The general signs I’m looking for are..

1. Stringy saliva
2. Decreased appetite/activity
3. Sunken eyes
4. Yellowing of the Urate.

Yeah?

Do you have a dripper? I run Cooper's dripper for 6 to 8 hours a day.
