Hey,

Unfortunately the Panther Chameleon I wanted has gone from the shop now But they've just got a new 2-horned Cham in instead. Does anyone know any specifics on this type?

Also Alex if you could, what do you need for the Cham viv? I.e Heating etc.

Cheers all

Ash

all i got on my viv is a heatmat on the bottom, A uva bulb and a red light for a nice baskin spot it stays at a steady 84 degres {nice temp for plants lol } thats it realy, my viv is a set of draws that i put a door on and got some cricket proof netting (cheap from garden center £1 psm )

hope it helps


WESTY

How much would that come to?

The Cham's £90, and I'd need the uva bulb and the red light. Probably a bigger viv aswell I reckon!

Cheers

Ash

Go get it dude! 2 horned fella's look savage! I got myself a new pet...

it wont be a lot probley 40 for the lights and mat



dj what is it then? love going to get new pets

just seen loads of babie oscars going cheap so i might have to get a few.

WESTY

was lookin at the 2 horned the other day,, very nice too

all ive got mate is the heat mat, and a big all in one heat and uv light
mines only in a smallish viv so having the one light/heat source is fine for now
and it keeps the temp at around 82-84 , with a basking spot around 100

look here for some info http://www.chameleonnews.com/montium.html


go get it before it sells

Nice one cheers guys. I might just buy the viv etc tommorow, then reserve him for when i get paid again.

I had my heart set on the panther, but this one is £100 cheaper and looks alot cooler! I'll update tommorow!

Cheers again

Ash

Well everyone I got him

He's a playful little bugger! Wouldn't get off me to get in his viv! I'll take some snaps later when he's settled a bit

Ash

Cool pick up Ash! Lookng forward to the pics! Those chammies look awsome!

Looking forward to the pics mate

Definately looking forward to the pics after hearing about him yesterday mate, sounds like a cool little fella








John B

lets see it then

Here's some

Also one quick Q, what do I do with the lights when its bedtime? Do I turn them both off? I have the UV light and the basking light!

Cheers

Ash

coooooool


if they have the same requirements as a "veiled" cham then,
turn everything but the heat mat off,
they can handle quite a drop in temp at night,
mine doesnt drop that much but the heat mat stops it getting too cold

Thats hella cool man, great pick-up







John B

Cheers guys!

And cheers Alex for the info.

He seems to spend alot of time on the ground, and occasionally climbs then comes down again. Is this a sign the lamp is too hot for him?

Cheers

Ash

He's either looking for food or he wants to be outside of his tank.

Hes proper cool him like, all u guys with vivs are making me jealous! haha.

Wow! What a cool looking chameleon! How big do those critters grow?

I think these dudes grow to about 9". I'll be getting a bigger vivarium for him probably next month!

I just bought him a new bendy branch thing and a sweet little waterfall

Cheers

Ash

Here's a few more snaps

very nice mate

is he/she eating yet?

Nope, not that I know of. Got a waxworm in there now (bought a small feeding bowl which it can't get out of) so see if he eats that or not

Cheers mate

Ash

Looking very nice indeed fella is it a he or a she?






John B

It's a he!

Always got the horn...

Cheers mate

Ash

haha cool mate, are they easy to breed an stuff??






John B

Not too sure John... Haven't really read up about that

He's getting a bit more friendly now, came over to my hand easily, then had an adventure on my ex!

Ash

She's pretty nice-lookin mate, can see why he likes her lol






John B

One post now I dont want to make,

He died

I have no idea why or how. He ate yesterday, he came out on my hand and he was acting fine. I went to the same pet shop today to get a vivarium, and my friend reserved another chameleon today. Came back and he on the floor

There must have been something wrong with him before I got him. I sprayed him twice a day, like I said he ate everyday (twice sometimes).



Luckily he's under a 'guarantee' so I'm going back tommorow.

Ash

sh*t man thats harsh

any external signs of illness?

So sorry for your loss mate, he seemed like quite the character from what you told me on msn....best of luck with the new one... mate






John B

Not at all =/

Thats what I don't get. Must have been sold to me with problems, something internal.

Really sucks!

Cheers guys

Ash

full refund i take it??

Yeah. Seeing as I got a new vivarium means another Chameleon I reckon. I held a large male Veiled Chameleon today. Very friendly, he seems pretty cool!

Ash

cool man

veilds are nice and easy mate, ive had no problems with mine
males are more colourful too i believe

Yeah he seemed like a very cool dude! Here he is last week... Right at the glass trying to get out!

Just a shame about my little dude, such a cool creature.

Ash

yeah mate sucks losing him so soon


that male veild looks about the same size as my female
we should get them together and let them get jiggy

theres a fair few quid in the babies

How big is yours? This guy is rather large, about 9 inches just his body. Bigger than my hand!

I think I might have to get him, its either that or a small (4") baby Yemen?

And the breeding idea would be cool

Ash

my girls about 6" now (just the body)

....and you know yemens are the same as veilds right??

Are they? I thought they were 2 different species

Ash

no mate, there the same ,
Yemen is where they are found,
and the veiled bit refers to the thing on the head

just common names i guess

Ah ok cool.

So I've got the choice of a baby or a adult...

I'll see which one seems the most friendly I guess!

Ash

Properly set up the new viv now. Bought a fogger today to help me with the humidity, alot better. I'll get some pictures tommorow!

Ash

Just got back from the shop, with my new Cham

The guy at the store said the vets coming in later and he's going to ring me to let me know what happened with my old one.

The new Cham is very cool, quite big but quite friendly aswell. He wouldn't get straight in his new home lol, took him a while to get off my hand!

I'll get some pictures later, let him settle in a bit.

Ash

nice one ash

look forward to the pics

I'll probably leave getting pictures until tommorow, as he looks very stressed fomr the move/ new home etc. Very dark in colour!

Ash
