Neptune the blue tongue skink! He's 8-10 months old and im not sure of the gender yet but we'll call him a he for now.
Here's a video of him eating! Ignore my baby talk and my grandmother in the background.
He's a "rescue" as in he's from a pet store. I've been wanting a blue tongue skink...
I got a call today from my friend and she told me to get to her house quick. She didn't state a reason. When i got there Pickles was already almost gone and took his last gasps of air in my hands. She had just woken up and didn't catch it soon enough. He was apparently looking fine yesterday and...
I need your help come up with some chameleon-themed christmas card ideas! Perfect gift for any chameleon lover or chameleon in general i guess?
all of them will be posted here with a free download to print and do whatever you want with! If i end up actually doing it though.
Also some updates on...
I was misting the enclosure and Im pretty sure Slurpy thought my nail polish was water?
The nailpolish was already dry before he licked it but im just wondering if i should take him to the vet tomorrow for a checkup just in case he injested anything dangerous?
The brand is ChinaGlaze if it...
Might as well share what i learn about lizard genetics while we're in this unit and log everything.
Common reptilian genetics knowledge seems to not exceed past punnet squares and basic repressive-dominant trait understanding. Most of that stems just from... we don't know enough about them and...
They are literally everywhere in my basement. i will catch as many as i can and i will ship them to you just please take them from me. They're high in calcium and i guarantee your chameleon will love them(not actually guaranteed)
(this post is mostly meant as a joke but if anyone actually wants...
He finally used his tongue again and im so proud of him! He still needs to get used to solid food and it's alot more energetic now.
I'm still giving him the liquid calcium thing though just to ensure that everything will go smoothly and im going to start dusting his worms and see if he noshes...
So i just came upon a account with a panther cham named casper and i noticed there were some eye crusties around the eye?

So I took Slurpy home early because i missed her too much and she's looking better but there is still alot of progress that needs to be made! Her eyes are still sunken a little and she's still on the thin side but she did gain 5 grams.
We confirmed that she has ambiguous genitalia which explains...
I remember reading that mixing playsand and normal substrate would be good for a lay bin. One part substrate and one part playsand.
Any other recommendations? I have Eco-earth from zoo med and reptisand also from zoo-med.
I should also dampen the mixture in the bin right?
His other eye was open looking at me but that's not the point, the point is i've never seen these colors before on Slurpy. He's normally a bright bright green and he was like this in his enclosure.
(His back leg is swollen ik we think it's a start of MBD)
It looks like a gravid female kinda? Not...
So about a month ago i had the great idea to start collecting Slurpy's feet sheds because that's not creepy at all right?
Im recording his growing progress and this is what i have so far
Also i've had him for 3 months now! jeez. Time flies. But now im really wondering how old he was when i...
When i left for school at 7:30 am he didn't have this, but i come back at 3 ish he has this?
That sorta ring near his eye. I haven't touched his face and i dont know where it could have come from?
(Yes he is angry and stressed in this photo, He was in an awkward position. I put him right back...
Humor me! And i'll draw the ones i think are the most creative. Please specify what species and their gender!
Personally, I think my chameleon hosts tea parties with crickets when im not at home.
My cham hasn't, but i just want to know in case it happens, and is there anything i can do about it? Like some chameleon version of the Heimlich maneuver?
