I think I should start circulating a phrase used by horticulture people. "Plants don't like wet feet." I've had them recover from root rot by letting them dry out completely for a while but it's usually 50/50. Everything else said I would agree 100%. I use the variegated form of Ficus...

Already showing some nice orange. Glad I was there to see the start of the hatchout, simply amazing. Hope your FF cultures are going good for the tiny buggers.

No dice eh? Will have to do some research and revive this if I find out anything...

It was a beautiful day (23 celcius) here in southern Ontario today so I went out to the swamps with my buddy to see if any flying insects were out. Saw an Osprey, Brown snake, Mink and Green frogs, although none of the elusive Spring Peepers (Pseudacris crucifer) I've been looking for. Long...

Yes you also don't want them in a closed room with you for long periods of time.

The only reason I wouldn't feed berries unless they are wild or grown by you due to pesticide issues. My dad works CFIA and even in Canada blueberry farms can spray for pests up to a week or 2 before harvest (can't remember exact # of days). This is using pesticides that stay in the plant...

I would also suggest not attempting to drill the base for drainage. My experience is generally glass explosion:D

I still really like the exo-terras for damn near anything. A lot better ventilation than most people realize.

I use dawn and sometimes bleach(ammonia) if it was a WC cham enclosure. Dawn rinses super clean and kills pretty much everything though:)

For sure. Ficus do a striptease at the slightest light change. I think it has something to do with optimal chlorophyll uptake (as in changing new leaf structure to suit lighting conditions), but don't quote me on it.

I figure a bunch of us Noobs thought boy because of how skinny she is/was. The lack of fat near the vent looks like a bulge in the older pictures.

Good point. I know they are mainly visual animals. Just not 100% on the anatomy of them yet.

I find this to be the most disturbing part lol...Hilarious cham antics though. What a little bugger :D

That is exactly what I was thinking actually. Probably gonna refrain from snake ownership for now on. Whats the point in keeping something boring if it stresses my chams out?

So I'm not really sure if I'm over thinking this or not. Do chameleons have the scent capabilities to smell a predatory like a snake in their environment? I'm only wondering because I keep some sheds and the bullsnake near the chameleon and have been thinking maybe the scent of a predator could...
