The clutch of Ambilobe x Nosy Be babies is starting to hatch now too. This is a little ahead of schedule (and the pure nosy be clutch hatched a little behind schedule just a few weeks ago). boy oh boy am I ever going to be a busy person over the next while. Better get more fruit flies brewing...
Here he is in April, so if he was hatched on Nov. 21, then he is going on 5 months old here. He seems a bit small for his age here, at least compared to some of the other pics I've seen on the forum. But then again, I don't know his exact birthday and who knows how accurate everyone else is...
Here are a few pics from March. Leonardo is around 4 months old in these pics and I have the pics time-stamped.
As stated in the previous entry I received Leonardo on January 27th and his approximate hatch day was November 21st. I received him therefore when he was about 8 weeks old. This blog entry shows some pictures taken of him during the month of February, when his age was in the range from 9 to 12...
A brief history:
I purchased Leonardo form Kammerflage in January and had to wait for warm enough weather for him to get shipped to me in New England. He's a sambava panther chameleon and his sire is Poncho. Kammers sent me the largest and "calmest" from the clutch and I was the first in...

I was so lucky to happen to have a week off work when this clutch of Nosy Be babies started to hatch on May 23rd. The last one hatch yesterday.
Are they not the Cutest!?!?!
This is another installment in the monthly diary of what the 4 adult male chameleons ate (averaged). Females got essentially the same, only sometimes less quantity. On those days where two different bugs are listed, usually one was the morning meal and the other type was an afternoon meal. All...
Earl came to me in less then favorable condition. He had a number of things going on.
1. He hadn't eaten in three weeks
2. He was Lethargic
3. He had a sore from rubbing on his cage
these were the things I was made aware of. When I picked him up I knew nursing him back to health was...

I'm starting to become depressed with this forum. Well, no. Not with the forum, but rather with the all too frequent threads about seriously ill or near death chameleons, with owners who clearly havent a clue or just dont care, apparently lacking any values, ethics, morals or intelligence. Too...

So here I am trying to figure out how to blog and just what exactly "blogging" is. So far I think it is just writing ones thoughts down kind of like a diary but digital. I also think it is like a record of ones activities that can be about one specific thing or a wide range of topics relating...
I posted this in a thread and wanted to keep it for future reference!
You can tell if your cham is drinking enough by the colour of the urates (white part of the poop). If it is white it means the animal is well hydrated. A small amount of yellow in the urate is ok. A very dark yellow or...
