why

[apple]

my lil lady somtimes rocks back and forth..what does this mean???

 

[Vibrant Chameleons]

It means she is stressed or non receptive. Is there a male chameleon in view? If so, I suggest to block the view as she may feel threatened by him.

 

[Vegas Chad]

When they move they often rock trying to look like a stick, leaf or anything should not be eaten Another way that they blend in... Also as said above.

 

[Julirs]

Are they still in the same cage?

 

[apple]

yepp gotta a male in there smaller than her but the thing is i dont have anywhere to put the male

 

[wow]

do you have a pice of card board that you could split the cage up witht thats not good

 

[ChameleonsTree]

I dont like to keep my juveniles together past 4 months. If they are much older and together she will become stressed and her immune system will suffer.

 

[Vibrant Chameleons]

For the meantime, split the cage into two with a piece of corregated plastic, like was mentioned above. She's showing you signs of stress that she's not happy. Make her life easier by splitting it into two for now, until you can get her into her own. Just make sure they can't see eachother.

if i split the cage in 2 one of them would not be getting the uvb and the basking the cage is really big 72 inches tall once in a while they would see eachother and shes the one that starts this he is calm and sort of a girls...

 

[Vibrant Chameleons]

You split it vertical, not horizontal... So they'd both still be getting the lights.

 

[wow]

it is really nessisary to do this.

What are the measurments of your terrarium?

i am an idiot i dont know why i baught such a big one i should of just baught a much smaller one the measurements are 29" x 29" x 72" of the curent one aand my glass aquarium is 55 gallon 4 feet long

No, this works to your benefit right now. If you split the cage into two, vertically down the center, your cages will be 14.5x29x72. That will definetly get you by for the time being.

 

[wow]

it would be better than together if you stood the tank up on end and had a nice screen top and a few plants in there with another uvb and basking bulb pointing thro the screen

 

[booshified]

yeah...not bad dimensions for a cage

 

[Vibrant Chameleons]

By those measurments, I'm guessing you have a 260 gallon flexarium. You can easily make that into 2 separate enclosures with the corrigated plastic down the middle.

ye but guys i would have to get diff size soft trays b.c it would be half the size than i would need the new netting cuz the one i have is for the 260 gall if i split it into two and just lay it down instead of stading it up its very long and i dont have space and the prob with the glass tank its not a rectangle its a hex and i feel like im screwed either way

Dude, you are being very difficult. Leave it how it is! All you have to do is put corrigated plastic down the center of the cage to separate it.......
