My new veiled chameleons

[agent A]

They're poisonous? KEEP IT! :lol:

U JUST NOTICED?? Even with the red belly and me saying it over and over??

 

[patrickfraser]

I thought they were only poisonous in the wild and being kept captive they lost it. What do I know about frogs/toads? Notalot,

Ugh that's only dart frogs because dart frogs eat stuff to make them poisonous

These guys make their own poison with their skin

Do not handle them, they will stress out and die easy... Big open cage. You can tell if they are male or female from the pores on the back of their legs. That little girl is scared, that why she turned grey, don't make any quick movements near them and no flash photos... If you find out ones male, ones female. You should separate them, immature breeding will kill, that happened with me and my female died and male lived. You can't just ignore them if they are getting hungry after a few days, they need running water to drink from they will NOT drink from a WATER BOWL/DISH you need to mist them every night and morning, they will drink the drops of water, and you should invest in a mini water fall. Exo Terra is the best brand. Don't just throw insects into the Terra, move them into a smaller feeding tank with like one or two branches to climb on and no substrate, use paper towel or news paper for substrate I. Their real Terra. Or you can tweezer feed them.

Hope I helped!

I used to have a male that I gave away to a breeder. He got HUGE!!! Never gave me any problems, either. I still have his giant metal screen cage that I'm wondering what to do with. It has holes from sticks I put in there. He was kept outside during the day. He was a happy guy. Always a light green and yellow. Except when I annoyed him, lol.

I'll buy it.

 

[Extrememantid]

I'll buy a baby from you! Why would you feed a mantis!? You could have sold her to me?

 

[Extrememantid]

Don't move the eggs and place them in a substrate and incubate them!

It's strange that you don't mention anything about UVB lighting, basking, temps, or even supplementation with Calcium, Calcium +D3, and Multi-vitamins. Also, suggesting a mini waterfall is what most of the chameleon forum is against, as it is a breeding ground for bacteria which could make the chameleon sick. The eggs are fine to be moved or turned if freshly laid, as there has not been any chance for an air pocket to form which is when they must not be turned.

I think I've done pretty well raising them with the info received on the chameleon forum, but thanks. I think I got this one covered.

 

[rs4guy]

You must not have ever been bitten buy a full grown adult male chameleon.

They draw blood.

I got bit HARD by a huge male panther, it hurts sure, but those creepy scizzor like mandibles of a mantis cut through skin like a hot knife through butter.

I think you have done excellent! I was so surprised to see how beautiful they have become, so quickly.

My chameleon laid her eggs! She covered her hole on the 1st. After my birthday dinner, last night, I had my friend take me to Home Depot for some vermiculite for incubating the eggs. I dug them up and have them in the vermiculite for hatching. It will be 9 months before anything hatches...IF anything hatches. I'll have to keep an eye out for bad eggs and remove them if they mold over. There are 62 eggs total that she laid. I can't believe all those were in her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :happybday: and happy "getting laid" day to them. :lol:

When I was 11 or 12 I had some vields. Got them mated and she laid eggs. Science teacher wanted to see them and incubate them for awhile. Idiot left the light too close and fried them. I was so sad.

oh sorry anyways r u gonna sell the babies when they hatch??

 

[jrh3]

those eggs dont look like they are any good. Most of mine were for the most part white but it depends on what she laid them in.

 

[patrickfraser]

They were laid in plain old top soil. I think it stained the eggs. Wait and see, I guess. They haven't started to cave in and shrink like the first infertile clutch. I was told not to rinse them, so I just dug them up and placed them in the vermiculite and was careful not to rotate them too much. I'll just keep my fingers crossed. It's not like she won't lay another clutch, so I'm not too concerned.

 

[jrh3]

Maybe they are good. I should have panther eggs this time next year, lol.

This is my male wearing his "pajamas". That's what people call their sleeping colors. :sleeping:
