The minimum bid is a bargain for an adult parsonii. ;) http://www.icollector.com/Screen-used-Budweiser-Frank-and-Louie-animatronic-chameleons-from-the-television-commercials_i8632872

Don't know if she is fertilized for certain, but these pix are for owners of all those CB aunts and uncles out there.:D She has been driving me mad this week with pacing and basking and eating and drinking and pacing. She "said" none of the huge plant pots would do this year, even...

I'll stop the hijacking and invite everyone to post new pix of their growing 08 CH melleri here. I'll start: Big Red, 8g More coming, these are not keen on having their pix taken... note the evil squint.

I couldn't get pix of everyone tonight, since a couple houseflies were left inside, trying to escape the cage. These two were closest, and showing some surprising color for their ages. Check out the pale sky blue on their heads, and the yellow coming out in the green stripes... This is the...

Several keepers over the years have witnessed the melleri baby die-off phenomena, but no solid leads beyond signs of an unknown but rapid general infection. So I was following a link from a keeper looking for help with parasite meds, and this struck me...

Among many other things he's pioneered, Bradypodion thamnobates. Did anyone else see this? It's from last week. http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1563612,1563612

Thanks to FL Chams, I have six new CH from 3 bloodlines. They have been raised with their own siblings until today, when they were moved to one large communal cage. On arrival here, they all were marked with non-toxic color dots to identify their origin clutches. While the paint dried, I...

Never know where you'll find tricks for care of exotics. I was reading Cosentino's biography of Edward Marshall Boehm, an animal ceramist and apparently a cutting-edge aviculturist in the 60's. One of his insectivorous bird care articles is reprinted in the book, and it has this formula for...

I took pix this morning that may help show the difference between the two pale breeding season colors. It's kind of a lousy pic otherwise; the male is really hard to photograph because he is shy. In general, breeding males wear yellow, black, and white. Gravid girls have very low % yellow...

You saw it coming. Someone was bound to do it. Total disregard for spelling and grammar, incorporated in random photos of animals... aka lolcats. Love or hate lols, but you still look... Now someone else hurry up and make some more. I'm trying to do these on a bloody Vista, and they look like...

Don't worry, it's not bad. I walked into the studio this morning and saw this. Domain: surveyed. Next task: unlock doors.

This is for melleri keepers, not for the feeders/nutrition forum. The summer that Grace laid the successful clutch, she and Ferris ate a ton of periodical cicadas. My yard/pasture/woods had its cycle that year. They may have the perfect balance of A everyone needs, who knows? I know something...

Starting a thread on the topic, as it deserves its own. The pic of the grayed dorsal and caudal crests in the other thread shows a lamp burn. One of the most common conditions seen in an otherwise healthy captive melleri is a lamp burn. An animal can be fine with a lamp for years and then one...

Yup, this thread has biological and cultural relevance. I know I'm not the only one who has a chameleon-shaped object (CSO)collection. Guests bring them, friends give them to me at trade shows, and I find them in many tourist traps in the Smokies... of all places. CSOs happen. Some are...

My computer-talented friend just added the video format to the MD site. It has the bottom menu button on the home page. http://www.melleridiscovery.com/index.html The only thing still lacking are the individual vid credits. He is working on adding these. The first two vids are his, of the...

Usually, the males will shed excess musk material from these glands. I found this one about to fall off of my LTC WC male, and got it while he was eating. It's his first. The weird thing is, these waxy sheds are normally white or cream colored. This one is black. He doesn't have any...

It's that time of year again! This week, I received a bunch of emails about melleri for sale in mom & pop pet shops, trade shows, and online. I hope to answer some questions with this post before more hit my inbox: 1. No, I do not have any melleri for sale. I do not sell my CBs to vendors for...

There is a lot of variety in the shape of melleri lobes. The lobes are not a reliable method for identifying individuals; lobes may alter over the lifetime of the chameleon. They are easily damaged and will change shape and thickness upon healing. It's definitely a good topic for comparing...

The Medical page has some additions, be sure to scroll all the way down. The new Husbandry subsection, Raising Juveniles, is finally getting its start. Who doesn't love pix of baby chams? Other pages will get corrections and more news will be added, as the week progresses. Check it out, and...
