Well, feeling them only every other month or so is probably just about right.

What kind of chameleon do you have?

Lifted from Wikipedia, lifted from other sources: All land snails are hermaphrodites, producing both spermatozoa and ova. Most snails can mate[vague] when they are around 1 year old.[6] Prolific breeders, pulmonate land snails inseminate each other in pairs to internally fertilize their...

Thank you for showing this video. This behaviour was, apparently, described by Altevogt and Altevogt (1954), and it is mentioned in a few of my books. But I hadn't seen it yet. (Hope that I will soon, though!) It seems that they like slugs, too, and eat them the same way. I *think* that I...

My last one was receptive less than two weeks after birthing. Jackson's normally give two clutches a year. Also, this is one species, where apparently, the female stores the sperm, so re-introduction with male may not always be necessary.

Jackson's are particularly known to eat snails... but I can't find any. Can somebody hook me up?

Apparently, one of my Jackson's ate a baby bearded dragon last summer.

Several sources claim that Jackson's will eat pinkies. I have no doubt that they would if they could. Maybe I just do not have enough experience with pinkies, but the ones that I have seen look bigger than anything that a Jackson might swallow. Can anybody confirm that their Jackson's does...

I am going to revive this thread. I wonder if anybody has anything new to add. I never imagined that creatures from tropical climes would brumate, but I recently acquired a beautiful Argentine B&W Tegu - the behaviour cannot be denied. So I went back and read some of my chameleon books -...

wait, wait, wait... how well did you do on your SATs? You CANNOT have a "most unique chameleon"! A chameleon is either 'unique', or it is not. Uniqueness is not comparative. There could be a most unusual chameleon, a most different chameleon, or even a most special chameleon. "Most unique...

Most sources say 5 years, but I have found at least one report of 9 years for a female Jackson.

Hey... I think that I saw that one at the show... One broken horn, asking $85, right? How is he doing?

Thank you.
