I made a new cage for Chameleo, so he can get some natural sunlight everyday (or most). CHECK IT SON He is no longer that much of a fury, and pretty chill in general. I like the nickname still though.

This blog is all about my experimentation with plant soils, that began on Friday May 29th. After some extensive research I found that plants kept in high-watered/high-humidity conditions, need a more unique type of soil than the original houseplant. Original houseplants typically use loam...

What my adult chameleons ate over the last while. Some ate slightly more, some less - this is an average of the food eaten (more was offered but not taken on some of the days) June 14: 2 crickets (gutloaded, calcium with D3dusted), 1 silkworm (gutloaded with dandelion) June 13: 2...

well, today, we toured around helping visitors, and the 1250 summer campers that were there. i got to feed the stingrays, and i witnessed the feeding from atop the 400,000 gallon tank filled with sandtiger sharks, sandbar sharks, southern stingrays, nurse sharks and the like. and to answer a few...

Well, my first day went a little bit like this, I first arrived at around 8:30am and talked with some people until it started. then, we talked about fire exits, and crowd control type things which are surprisingly boring and mundane. then we had a little break, then toured the place...

Layla is now starring in her own movie on YouTube. I discovered last week that my digital camera takes movies too. Not just phone camera type movies, but pretty good quality movies. So I got a 15 minute video of Layla outside eating. What I thought was going to be just a simple edited short...

Two days ago I took Layla outside again with a plastic cup containing two E. Distanti roaches. The weather was not the best but I really wanted to get outside for a while. As soon as I sat down at the patio table with Layla on the grapevine branch resting across my lap one of the resident...

Layla is fascinating to me because her behavior is so hard to understand. I got a fresh batch of Hornworm cups from Mullberry Farms last week. The worms were pretty tiny so I had to wait for a week before they were big enough to make them worthwhile as a feeder. Yesterday I took a big fat...

From personal experience I have learned the importance of having a good chameleon vet. If you go to a vet that's not that familiar with chameleons you are wasting your money and your chameleon's life. They charge the same, if not more, than a vet that knows chameleons. Then usually after you've...

In much of the world, people have enjoyed eating insects for thousands of years. Insects are nutritious, espcially when gutloaded. Raising insects is environmentally friendly and relatively easy. They require minimal space per pound of protein produced, have a better feed to meat ratio...
