i scrub and disinfect the cricket cage once a week. i dump the living ones from the keeper into a small tupperware container, then rinse, dry, disinfect, wait ten minutes and rinse again and dry. i usually do this on days i'm picking up new crickets which makes it even easier.

Unfortunately that is not a Bradypodion taeniabronchum but rather a Bd. pumilum. Chris thanks for pointing this out. you should let them know. i've been in love with the wrong species of unattainable chameleon... it will take me weeks to recover.

yeah, i totally love the colors and size of this little guy. even the patterned bumps on his side and his thick little hands are cool. there are so many great species we'll never get to meet, but i'm thankful just to know any chameleons at all...and i'll always love my desmond first. :)

probably a smith’s dwarf chameleon (bradypodion taeniabronchum). here is where to find a pic: http://arkive.org/smiths-dwarf-chameleon/bradypodion-taeniabronchum/image-G65702.html

chameleons northwest is terrific. i received my little sambava boy, desmond, from them in early july. you will not be disappointed. the waiting is so hard. is yours by any chance a patron baby? as far as advice, i can only echo the above comments: post a few enclosure pics and make certain you...

ha. that's what all my plants are for: he loves to hide... and he definitely does not want to see me (unless i have a wormy treat for him), which is why his enclosure is in the den with the door closed. :)

reptariums are flimsy and very hard to see into (i used to have a jacksons in one and every picture i took involved unzipping the side), block a lot of uv light, and they have no front entry. modifications can be made, but imo, screen has worked much better.

i'm at work so i can't post any pics, but i bolted a cheap (nine dollars each) ikea end table on top of another, did this a second time, and slid the two stacked tables beside each other. this adds over three feet and allows for drainage to run between the stacked tables and gives shelves for...

good stuff seriously awesome pics. and two beautiful chams.

sweet frigging sweet cage. i had enough of a time just assembling mine. wish i could build my own. and good call on that truck, gpmo.

when i was a kid my brother and i would collect hornworms the size of our wrists (granted i was seven and he was five, but they were freaking huge), and we were never bitten. they are big, and they are juicy, but that is only all the more reason to love them for your cham. and don't allow their...

quite freaking upsetting...

thank god my fiancé thinks they're cute sometimes i feel like a cham...

ha. sweet, bro, sweet...that is one nice looking ambilobe.
