Breeder Where did you buy your ambilobe from?

otto I agree that is one gorgeous veiled. Where did you get him from? Sire? Damian

Elisa Martin.. I had the pleasure of talking with her as she is a member of a herp society in los angeles. I asked her several questions about chameleon diseases and asked for a recommendation on a vet and she was very helpful. Very knowledegable and almost seemed like a human encyclopedia...

Me.... This is me parasailing during my honeymoon about a year ago.

In all honesty, I don't think you can tell whether a cham can be saved or not through those pictures. I have been monitoring him in these past 3 days and it is not looking good. Although I am trying to be optimistic, giving him baytril, and misting him frequently he is asleep all day long and...

Update Yes I emailed the breeder and left a message by phone. Hopefully he contacts me soon. If it helps any, here are some pics I took of the little guy today. The first one is the cup he was shipped inside of and shows the bulge starting out on his eye. The next two are of him during...

Update... I got home a while ago and I seen him in the same schefflera stem I last saw him 2 hrs ago only now he was with his eyes closed, as if sleeping. Second, I kept hearing the pop and gaping of the mouth, he will at times open and close his mouth as if saying "im thirsty." When the cham...

I just received my 3 month ambilobe today and when I opened the packaging I seen that he was asleep, so I left him in there until he woke up. During his sleep I noticed a few things... 1. He had heavy breathing and I heard a "pop" :( that was followed by him opening/gaping his mouth. 2. His...

My Job... I work as a Radiologic Technologist in a trauma II hospital... AKA x-ray tech.

I ordered a Zoomed 5.0 UVB bulb and received a ZooMed Iguana light 5.0. The company I ordered it from say its the same product (Reptisun 5.0 and Iguana light 5.0) only different packaging (to attract more buyers). I have also done a few web searches and found very limited information saying...

I've been searching though many posts and I haven't found a response to a specific question. Do the vegetables that are given to feeders need to be cooked? Or are there specific veggies that need to be cooked/steamed? Thanks for your input! -Damian

The cham will be 3 months or so when shipped and is about 4" in total length. And yes, it is a male. I plan on upgrading to a bigger cage in about 8-10 months depending on his growth. I will be getting 60 watt basking spot light and to be safe a reptisun 5.0. BTW I appreciate all the comments...

I'm using plastic canvas that someone recommended in a previous post. It allows water into the soil while keeping out the feeders from the soil and prevents Cham from having impact with river rocks in case of a miss :). You can buy it at craft stores and are really cheap.

Fortunately I have a dimmer with my basking spot light which I can lower the intensity. I can lower it to maintain an 85o basking temp. As for the reptisun 10.0 I purchased it over the 5.0 because of the statement that screen filters out up to 50% of UVB rays and the cham would need to be...
