I agree with Carlton you should switch out your lighting, slime line lights are not the way to go, in some case those lights have been known to blind your reptiles. Reptisun 5.0 or 10.0 depending on the size of your cages are the way to go. Also if you can get your hands on some liquid calcium...

Yes she filled the first hole and packed it down and then went about her way so I removed her from my laying bin within this hour of covering the hole.

Hello, I have recently started breeding several different kinds of panthers (usually breed jacksons and mt. meru's) and just this last sunday one of my red bodied ambilobe females laid a clutch of 40 eggs. She started at 9 am and finished around 6 pm. We gave her plenty of food and water...

He's about 3 months old I had them from one of my females. The temps in the cage during the day are 70 to 75 with no heat lamp cause to much heat will stress and kill them. In the night it drops to about 67 in the cage. I have a drip system set up but there so small they usually drink of the...

So today I went to one of the local big chain pet stores hoping to get another female Jackson to add to my breeding collection. Had been watching and waiting for one to come in cause here in Nebraska they don't come around to often. But when I went to purchase it I noticed that it had several...

Thank you for the all the information, it has def helped me with the trouble shooting. This was my females first brood and I have the feeling that she had them premature cause she was in her sixth month of the nine if that holds any truth. Im not really sure when the magic number is for their...

Your right the top of the tank just reaches 80 but it seems like the stronger healthier ones are staying to the top of the tank in the vines. And just wondering why I should take the night light off during the night it is only on for about 8 hours. Is there any disease that they can get that...

Hi there I have raised Veiled Chameleons for a while now and this last spring I decided to take on breeding Jacksons. Just recently my gravid female had 14 neonates and they were all doing awesome for about two weeks. I have them in a 12x12x18 exoterra enclosure with a T5 light on top as well as...
