RocketMan has a new home

Yes the crickets can escape if they like. But I built them a nice home inside his enclosure. Seriously though the crickets stay in the cricket house with no issues. If you had a Meller's chameleon you would understand that regular screen isn't a good idea with the daggers that grow in the end of their toes.
I would recommend using Type 304 Stainless Steel 8x8 Mesh .017" Dia. Wire .108" opening from a local wire cloth warehouse I used Universal Wire Cloth Co.. You don't have to use stainless steel, it will cost less to use aluminium or just steel. The 8x8 mesh will allow more light (especially UVB) and better air flow, still keep feeders from escaping (with the exception of fruit flies for babies), and will not harm your chams claws either.
 
Nom nom nom.....

Nice shot!!

What is RocketMan's length and weight at right now? Don't you just love how their tongue is so precise, but the feeder is completely squished beyond recognition before their first chew!! So much power in Melleri tongues. Gotta love it!
I'll get the stats tomorrow I haven't weighed him in the last few weeks. :(

He is coming in at 23.5" and 301g I'll take his stats again in a couple weeks. Rawr!!
 
Weighed in at 326g this morning. I'm starting the to fear RocketMan maybe rocket girl after all like you said. Nothing like a name change, maybe Caitlin :unsure:

Lol! After seeing Major Tom, I am beginning to think that your feeders have been gut loaded with the secret ooze.

You never know, I may be having to send one of my males up for a play date. :rolleyes:

RocketThing came in at 341g last night. Rocket was given a bacterial drug due to a small issue and being a little under weight. It has apparently helped. Kinda scary of how much weight. What's wrong with my chameleons!!!! Lol
 
@jpowell86 ummmm RocketMans weight has has increased significantly to 363g this worries me because of he may not be a Man after all I posted some pics may your insight might be able to help identify what it is. Lol. I know it's really difficult and next to impossible but here they are. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg
 
Hey @Lazereth. I can't help but think that you have a female there. Can you give me some body shots from different angles and another shot similar to picture two please.

If it ever came down to it, and it was a girl and you gotta have a name change, then instead of ROCKET man, name her Miss ɪle (Like missile. Because a missile = rocket) (y) :p
 
Anyone who has kept melleri knows that it is not exact without testing most of the time.....but, I would bet that you have a female there. Prominent hip bone structure, low scalloping, lip before cloaca and not after.....female IMO!
