I *really* want to keep out of this one, but I have to ask... How big of a risk to the safety of the animals is it really? Particularly the cham. If you notice stress, then separate them. I've seen some of the nastiest behavior on this forum I've ever seen in this thread. And about every...

Anything you can do to get humidity down and air-flow up helps. Also, remove old food/dead crickets daily. My cricket bin is right beside my computer, so that's always motivation to keep them clean! Bulk buying is the only way to go if you have a larger collection.

Looks like a camel spider to me too. There's a lot of neat info on camelspider.net, including some urban legends and myths that go 'round the Interwebs.

Vegas, you buy those animals and it only pads the store's pockets to get more. I own a pet shop, so I'm the last to bash them all, but the vast majority shouldn't be dealing with even hardy reptiles, let alone chameleons. It's sad, really. More stores should start carrying only cb herps. But...

Movement seems to be a big part of chameleon feeding response, but if they will eat "canned bugs," I'm sure it's better than nothing!

Gorgeous set of animals and great photography! There's not an emoticon with the right shade of green to properly express my envy!

$19.99 plus $2.95 shipping?!? I think I retail those for 14-15 bucks in my shop. I'd look around local pet shops, PetSmart is no place for deals on Hagen products. I'm unaware of exo-terras causing keritoconjunctivitis. But i still use linear bulbs or MVB's on my own animals.

PeTA and HSUS do NOT want us owning pets or "having" animals for any purpose. Even research. And as a group, they support even terrorism to stop it. Quotes from Ingrid Newkirk, founder and president of PeTA: And to back up the support of terrorism: Alex Pacheco, chairman of PETA...

With some morphs (esp. "normals") it's amazing how much they color up with age. I have about 30 varieties currently. You think chams are addicting, you should try these low-maintenance gems!

Leerburg has a great message board for dog trainers. I have my own thoughts on redirecting your dog's prey drive from cats to something more allowable, but I'd defer to the folks there.

And as scales go, old will knot online has the best selection and pricing that I have found.

For me, breeding is based on size rather than age. I've had beastly females at 5 months that were larger than slower yearlings. As stated by jannb, the male will reach sexual maturity more quickly. This also seems to be a matter of size rather than age, at 70 grams or so, a male is ready to...

My male fires about that color of red/orange, but I suppose there is some variation.

Tamatave or Maro, if I was wagering.

I have to wonder if those hatched prematurely or were runts. There is a percentage in most every clutch that just aren't sturdy. Those should never be sold. A one hour warranty isn't really any different than live arrival. I wish ya the best, sounds like you are doing the right things...
