Egg Laying and the Laying Bin
I free range my chameleons so I really have to pay close attention to when it’s time to lay eggs. I think one of the most important things is to have a gram scale and weigh her once a week. If she's gaining and you are still feeding the same amount of food then I figure she must have eggs. You...- jannb

Mort was a gem at the vet. He weighed in at about 105g, and didn't offer to bite the vet at all, bless his little reptilian heart. Dr Sweet and I agreed to treat the pins and see if the rest falls into place, thinking the parasites may have overpopulated because of the stress.
To my...

Since these worms are so expensive, but so great for hydrating, and good treats for our wonderful scaley friends, I figured It would help some to breed them, especially if you have more than one cham, or more than one cham at different ages, since these things grow so fast.
This is what I...

Here's to another 7400! :)
Yay They are eating. I fed them 5-7 silk worms this morning and they gobbled them up within 10-15 minutes. Lola the female ate 3 at a time (they were balled up) and Pascal the male ate 1 at a time. (I spread those out)
for me, best day
pascal obviously every day is torture and he hates his life passionately, the fact that i have finally got his temerature right with his expensive new bulbs, and feed him his favourite food and give him lots of water and plants and uvb light just pisses him off.
i went to...
Google books are..Great!
Here some interesting facts on Silkworms.. :)

They arent eating yet but they are drinking lots of water. i am going to try the separate tank feeding meathod suggested by Amanda509. Now to get more vines from petsmart.
Looks like Lola and Pascal are settling in ok.
I put a dubia in each of thier cups. we will see when i get home if they eat them or not
I think my female is pregnant. According to the breeder she was housed with the male. She does look a little bigger around the belly. We will see.
Yesterday I got my chameleons. A boy and girl, Pascal and Lola. Their cages were delivered last night and I made a feeding cup. I do not know if they ate today. I will find out when I get home later today
My most recent attempt to get Shayna well was a weekend attempt to make her a laying bin that she might use.
I put a large plastic rectangular tub of soil and sand just below the bottom access of her cage. The substrate is about 8", I planted a pot of philo at the far end, and put two...
