I've had some requests to re-start my monthly log of what feeder prey is provided to and eaten by my panther chameleons. I happened to have some extra time this month, so here's one month - can't promise to keep it up as this is a very busy year for me. Older entries still have value, if you're...

A good addition to your gutload, in moderation - contain a good amount of calcium, but Older pads, flowers and fruits are fairly high in oxalic acid (younger pads less so). Also provide Potassium, Vitamin C and Magnesium, and a little niacin. In about a cup (150g) would provide roughly...

Boxing day 2010 a pipe plugged up, causing the expelled dirty water from the laundry washing machine, the dish washer and the shower stall to back-up. The floor (not just in that room, but the entire ground level of the house), the baseboards, etc all had to be ripped up and replaced. One...

One of my male panthers is being supplemented differently from all the others. With this one male, I am using the Repashy all in one supplement alternating with a mix of StickyTongues Miner-al-O plus Rep-Cal plain calicum. This is instead of the supplementation routine I normally use (see other...

This is my monthly log of what most of my male panther chameleons ate during October 2011. One young adult male panther is on a different "repashy experiment" diet (same food, but different supplementation and gutloading routine) and a second but elderly male is getting whatever he likes...

Allan very generously has given me some bug burger, water crystal stuff, and the all in one repashy supplement to try. This fits very nicely as I was already starting a little experiment due to my queer success without using preformed vitamin A. I am going to keep my original dubia colony and...

I wish to promote Nuts and Seeds as a healthy addition to vegetables and fruit for the perfect gutload. Nuts and seeds provide healthy unsaturated fats, protein, selenium and other minerals, Vitamin E, B vitamins and more. Some even have a favourable calcium to phosphorous ratio. I like sesame...
