I looked on Bluebeast reptiles safe plants list and the Jade plant (Crassula argentea) is listed as safe, I would think that a large cham would probably snap the stems though.

I decided to start with seeds so that I could have lots of plants then they could get regularly swapped and rested from the chams. I have also planted dandelion, collards, chicory, mustard and endive which I am going to put into mixed pots and grow them in the chams enclosures. Some of my chams...

Here is some info I found which definately sounds good. 'Native originally to the Himalayan foothills of northern India, the horseradish tree can be found widely planted throughout the tropical areas of the world. Nutritionally, ounce for ounce, powdered Moringa leaves have seven times the...

I've ordered seeds and shall give them a go and let you all know. I hope they do well because they are quite ferny looking and also flower nicely. The guy I heard about them from grows 2 in his conservatory just as display plants so I think they should do ok indoors, fingers crossed!

I live in the UK and we have locusts available as livefoods from all the suppliers, i'm not sure what exact species they are but they are listed as Schistocerca sp. They are excellent feeders and will eat copious amounts of dandelion, collard, mustard greens and basically any other leafy green...

Has anyone tried using Moringa oleifera? I do not know it's common name or even if it has one but I was reading about it yesterday and it's leaves are edible and highly nutritious for humans, it is even being tried out to combat malnutrition in some parts of Africa. The average analysis per...

Just wondered are the leaves of peppers safe as a gutload or in the chameleons enclosure?

Just wanted to say about the inheritance from the parents. I have just hatched a clutch of Transbald babies, their mother has a tiny patch of white on both her back feet but basically looks normal. The father is completely normal and unrelated and the babies are a great mixture. 8 of them look...

My Nosy boy took 8 months to get really blue and now at 11 months is still coloring up. For a while he was grayish or sometimes even a soft pinkish brown but the color slowly crept in with each moult. Wait a couple of months and he will look totally different. P.s I dont think yours is a...

Try www.roachshop.co.uk they have dubia roaches for sale as starter coloneys at all different sizes and they also sell tubs of them as livefood. I would start out with at least 50 adults aswell as various other sized ones too, this way you can expect lots of babies soon and it wont take as long...

You should really get an ebay account as they are easy to set up and there is loads of people selling starter cultures of various roach species, thats how I got my roaches and now I am starting to feed off the cultures a little. Another few months and they should keep me going completely. Also...

funny thing is the leopard tortoise is called Geochelone pardalis but its a leopard tortoise not panther?!

I'm really excited for you! Not long to wait now and she sounds like she is doing well, tomorrow could be the day! Fingers crossed for you :D

I would be carefull even in hay fields as I live on a farm and we do use fertilizers on the hay fields, although they are safe for cattle and sheep the could be dangerous for reptiles. Also several herbicides are commonly used on hay and could cause damage too. If you do catch some you should...

She may have been testing the moisture level in the sand, I dont know if this is how they do it but mine did that too and it did her no harm and I just guessed thats what she was doing.

I would put another plant in front of her laying tub or even just a leafy branch to hide her when she goes down to the laying site. They generally hate to dig where they think someone can see them, even if she gets on well with you most of the time she will regard you as a predator when she is...

When she is sleeping at night you could start a hole for her maybe about 3 or 4 inches deep and she may or may not decide that it seems quite nice and continue digging there. No harm done if she doesn't want to use that hole and by doing it at night when she is sleeping you wont disturb her. I...

You have a beautiful female, she looks very like one of my girls, I stay in the UK too. I wonder if they are related? I hope all goes well with the laying, my female did all her digging and laying in 1 day, I feel quite lucky about that! I remember reading about Daves girl and thinking I hope my...

Thanks for the info, theres a lot of good reading on that link, thanks:)

How safe is the UV lighting for our eyes, everyone knows you shouldn't stare at the sun and obviosly the same would go for uv lights, but do they cause us any damage to our eyes when we spend long periods of time looking into our chams enclosures?
