    Tumor?

    On mine it was a "tag" on the inner lip where the jaw meet. During "inspection" i could wrap him in a towel and pop it out to inspect(just to make sure it wasnt a tumor/infection/shed). I just left it, it didnt bother him and he lived 3 years with it, so he got it around the same time as...

    The Exo Terra Compact UVB charts

    Yes its 40 per uvi unit. So uvi 3 would be around 120 UVB. But to be honest i think you are going way overboard with your levels. 3.0 is the new standard for max at the hang out/basking area. thats what we want to the top of the head to get on a brand new bulb. Not 4 just to be safe etc. 3...

    The Exo Terra Compact UVB charts

    UVB to UVI is not a direct conversion. However rule of thumb is 35-40 to 1. So a UVB 40 μW/cm^2 would be a UVI 1. That being said, CFL (curly guys) is a no no for chameleons. The cages are way too tall for CFL's to work. It needs to be a linear bulb with a reflector, and be T5, T5HO, or T8.

    Ideas about desynchronized hatching

    One hypothesis was captive bred has very spaced out eggs. When one hatches, it just grabs a branch or whatever and is gone. In the wild it is a ball of eggs. When one hatches it disturbs all the other eggs, and the digging disturbs further. So it could be that all your eggs were ready to go...

    Male or Female

    Male. Pic 3 does it for me. Never seen a grill make that pattern at that age, and its a nice meaty tail base, and its either my brain, or i see the tail divot, not just a taper.

    Panther chameleon sexing help

    He/She is a bit underweight in my opinion. I go by the tail. If its got no centerline, its getting a bit fat, if you can can see more than one line or individual vertebrae, its too skinny. At this age you cant over feed, so feel free to feed daily as much as they will eat in a session. Aka...

    Panther chameleon sexing help

    Sounds about right. They go up for sale around 5 months old. most breeders will not even ship a 3 month old. unfortunately you can sex them all most 100% right out of the egg. After the first month its reeeeeely hard to sex again until 6-7 months. Plenty of 5 month old slightly underweight...

    Panther chameleon sexing help

    Ah yes the inbetween age. My vote is a girl. I see no divot, it just tapers to tail. Boys at this age normally have a "dent". Boy butt of a month older one.

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Ok after a massive amount of googling, all Mistkings run on 24 volt DC. and that connector is the standard rc car hobby tamiya connector.

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Well that connector looks like the standard issue molex connector that every RC car had in the 90's. So it might be easy to find. Or if you are a bit diy(and you are in the EU so its even easier), you can use a set of wago lever nuts. The only issue i see is the adapter does not explicitly...

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Ill be honest, im pretty DIY. When my pump died, i just bought a RO booster pump used. It was an Aquatec. All you have to do is make sure the voltage matches what your mistking runs on. They can run on anything, 220 120 24vac 24dc, you name it. In my case it was pretty potato and just ran...

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Ah what if we are going at it the wrong direction. What if its not sucking in water due to a clog in the pickup tube. Again it should be shooting you in the face. We are talking a 2-3ft arc straight up easliy. These are Aquatec 6800 clones. Full flow they should be able to fill a gallon jug...

    Mistking Lacking Power

    Its a membrane pump. So its basically a hydraulic jack. They are meant to produce low flow high pressure. I dont see how a line could clog to the point of stopping the pump. These are not fish tank squirters, they can very easily fill a car tire up with 60 psi of water. I guess you could...
