I took in a male veiled chameleon last night that is pretty skinny. He is estimated at 1 1/2 years old. He shows no signs of any other problems and a quick fecal float last night showed no parasites. He is just skinny. Very little fat in his casque, and a slight bony appearance. Previous owner...

http://www.eastcoastreptilesuperexpos.com/ Wondering if anyone from here will be at the show this Saturday? Vending or attending? thanks!

On September 8th I got a female Ambilobe chameleon at Reptile Polooza in the Poconos. She is eating like a pig (crickets, dubia, phoenix worms, waxworms, etc) but appears a little too thin for my liking (a little bony at base of tail, etc.). I am guessing her age at 4 months or so. Is it alright...

Just made eggplant parm and have a bunch of skins ans ends from the eggplant. Can I feed this to my dubia colony? Thanks, James

I have some cherries and some dill that I will not be using. Are these 2 items safe to feed to my colony? Thanks, James

I just received 2 pounds of XL dubia (1 1/4 - 1 3/4 inch) to feed off and give my colony a good boost. I also ordered 1 pound of this businesses "proprietary" blend dry food. He would give me no other info. I opened it and it primarily smelled like alfalfa. I put it in with the colony and OMG...

I was cleaning out my dubia bin and noticed an adult female that was walking around all messed up. I don't usually feed off my adults, but figured, why not? I hand fed her to Gonzo, my Panther cham and when he took his fist chomp, her egg sack thing came out. I took it and put it in the bin...

I just received a few adults to start a colony hopefully. These were given to me at a pet shop that had a 10 gallon tank FILLED with them. It was pretty obvious that they NEVER clean the tank. While looking at them today I noticed what appears to be tiny mites (?) crawling around on the roaches...

The past few nights we have had A LOT of these brown beetles. They are about one inch long and capable of flight. I will try to take a pic, but never have luck posting them. Any idea what they are by my description? And are they safe to feed off to my Cham? I am not concerned with pesticides...

I was given a culture today. I know nothing about them. Anyone know about cultivation, nutritional value, etc? Thanks, James

Is there any one in my area (Bushkill, PA 18324) that has producing Hydei Fruit Fly cultures they can sell to me? I have 11 baby veiled chameleons that NEED food. My cultures have stopped producing and the culture I bought that was seeded on 3/28 has not produced any flies.:mad: They ate this...

I had baby veileds hatch out on Mar 10th and the next few days after. They have been really going after the fruit flies like champs. Here is my dilemma: my producing culture is no longer producing and the cultures I made are no where near ready. PetSmart had cultures with maggots only (no...

I need help: Here is a quick back story: Back in August '11, when I purchased Gonzo from ruru, she gave me 20 veiled eggs that she could not take with her on her move. No idea if they were viable or not, but I kept them set up and hope for the best. About 2 1/2 months ago, my 8 year old...

Is anyone going to the reptile expo tomorrow in Reading, PA? Meeting up with fellow chameleon lovers would be great. Please post hear if you plan to attend. I hope the weather is not too bad! http://www.eastcoastreptilesuperexpos.com/ James

The Expo is Saturday Jan 21st. http://www.eastcoastreptilesuperexpos.com/ I am wondering if anyone is going as a vendor and what you will be selling? Thanks! James

I received my AquaZamp on the 28th, and have to tell you all that this thing is awesome! I set up my timer (super-easy!) and realized that I need to reset the end times and give them more water. I read about one of you misting for 45 minutes a day and thought that was crazy, but now I can see...

I don't know what to do now. I was going to order a Mist King Ultimate Value Misting system. Now I am looking at looking at AquaZamp Premium Collector Misting Nozzle system. Mist King system $189.99 http://www.mistking.com/ultimate-misting-system.html AquaZamp $182.25...

I am thinking about treating myself to a mist king for Christmas. I own a Monsoon and have been happy with it until recently. The heads seem clogged (no longer a fine mist, more of a stream) but I can not seem to unclog them. I have bought replacements once already, but that was only about 3...

I went to a wholesaler in NJ today. I go in this place every few weeks and pick up a variety of feeders. Today I picked up hornworms, waxworms, butterworms, and 500 crickets. In addition to feeders (of all kinds) they sell tropical fish, marine fish, goldfish and pond fish, and reptiles. I...

I bought Gonzo (already named, kept the name)from a member on this board in early September. ruru was moving and put a post in the classifieds. I am SO glad that I am the one she chose to re-home Gonzo to! Gonzo was hatched on 8/15/10 by Lancecham and is a little over 14 months old. He is a...
