My Nosy Be likes to drink from the drops off the mist head once it's stopped spraying. He also likes to drink off the droplets on his screen when I spray from outside the cage.
The sire is Curufin and he wasn't a holdback, although Liddy said he was already showing some nice blues before she shipped him.
Thanks for all the replies - I'm looking forward to watching him develop.
Here he is the day I got him at 3 months old:
Here's a picture I took yesterday, now at 5 months old:
I can't believe how much he's colored up over the last 2 months. If he stays like this as an adult, I'll be very happy!
I have a 5 1/2 month old Nosy be from Kammerflage. I noticed a few days ago that he started going to bed early - he'd be alseep in usual spot down low in his schefflera plant by the time I came home from work around 5pm. I knew something was up but wasn't sure what. He's been eating and drinking...
I'm currently using a pond pump rated at 325gph. It's running 2 nozzles into 2 cages (1 per cage). I used the misting heads you can find at Lowes. It's not a fine mist, but does the job at getting the plant leaves dripping. I have it set to run for a minute at time using a basic digital timer...
This little guy arrived today. He's a 3 month offspring of Kammerflage's sire "Curufin". I saw a picture of Curufin a year ago, around the time I was getting into chameleons and thought, one day I'd love a Nosy Be. I decided to make sure I was up to the task before I took on the requirements of...
In a few weeks I'll be taking delivery of a 3 month old male Nosy Be (!) from Kammerflage and just realized that I don't really know what size it will be at this age? Does anyone know what the average SVL is at this age? I read somewhere that said 1" SVL. That seems awfully small! I was...
I lost a baby Rudis from ingesting perlite from a live plant container. I felt terrible about it and felt really stupid for not removing all of it before I put it in the cage.
Mine take well over a week to hatch at 80+ degrees. Try raising the temp a bit and give them time. Just make sure the substrate doesn't dry out. Before you know it, you'll have hundreds of pinheads!
