    Oops - Kinyongia Boehmei

    Oh yea, Porcini cut her little rear ankle - right in the fold! Not sure how she did it but here is how she let me know: Its been a very slow healing process and I hope that it does not cause her so much discomfort that she abandons digging for her eggs. So far she seems to be trying but also...

    Oops - Kinyongia Boehmei

    Looks like I missed a window with both of my girls - they are both currently digging (how funny they are on the same schedule). I dont interact with them during this time but Porky spotted me during an evening check and wanted to come out for a few minutes. The new k boehmei are still...

    I just can't decide... Please help me choose my first Chameleon!

    I started my WC in medium reptibreezes and then moved them to 24x15x36 glass vivs. I agree that the bigger you can go the better but 24x15x36 is a similar (maybe larger) square footage to cham size ration as 2x2x4 for a panther. I agree with sonny, they are an active species and will use as...

    Reptaid for RI?

    Be aware of the possibility of alcohol poisoning. I think the treatment days recommended are too many. I tried not to use it for more than 5-7 days, with extra water/misting duration. I used it as an emergency jump start until they could be seen by the vet (for ex had a chameleon I suspected...

    praying mantis?

    Sometimes it takes a day or two for my chams to show interest. Some never do. I am anxiously waiting for mine! Hopefully just a few days behind you.

    praying mantis?

    I have not had one emerge to my knowledge, unless it was eaten! I have had them show up (just one or two) when adding new bark or plants. Free chameleon food!

    praying mantis?

    They are fine. They actually need a cold period to hatch. In the wild they survive much colder temps. Im in Maryland, USA and we get lows in the teens (rarely below, but somwtimes) and the chinese and caroline mantid ooths do just fine in our winters. I put them in the fridge dor a few weeks...

    praying mantis?

    When you see the babies, I think your fears will be calmed. They are cute (and very observant). They are also very tiny. If one or six escape, I dont worry about it. I probably will never see them again - and if I do, I place them on my house plants. They would never make it to adult size or...
