Here are a couple pics of my littlest cham...blue bar ambilobe...not sure if it's male or female...any guesses?

Ok so we had another baby hatch today. Were up to four so far. We have another 19 to go. We have pin head crickets and fruit flys. My question is do we dust with vitamins like our older chameleons or is their anything special we need to do to help these little guys along the way? We are so...

My first ones are hatching as we speak. I have four that have already hatched and 19 more to go. They shrink then look like a raisan. Some come out really fast others take hours. Some will look dead for awhile while others will be active. I just made sure the temp in their room was at least to...

Thanks for the quick reply Laurie. It's much more active today. When I took the lid off the enclosure, he quickly tried to escape. Crawled right on my wife's hand. I took some pics...will post later.

Hi all, I am the proud papa of my first BB Ambilobe Panther Hatchling!!! :D The eggs have been incubating for about 7.5 months...so they came a little earlier than I expected. My first one arrived on Saturday...pretty tuckered out. It came out with its umbilical sac still attached. The...

OK...here is my clutch. The one in the process of hatching is in the lower right. It is considerably smaller than the others. Here is a closer look at the egg about to hatch, compared to the egg next to it. Here's a pic of one of my other eggs sweating. Slightly different...

Hi, I am new at this, but am in the same situation as you...except a month ahead. I just had my first hatchling two days ago...amazing little creatures. Wow, you have a huge clutch for panthers. My gal gave me 24, and she was busting at the seams. Four of those eggs molded over the last...

Charlotte is around 4.5 hours away. She is looking very poor right now...feeling hopeless. I pray she gets better.

Yeah...strange. I'm happy she got the shot of calcium and electrolytes...and that alone was worth the $150 I guess...but overall I am unhappy with the visit. I don't know if I should stick with this guy or go with another vet. Can I buy liquid calcium drops?

Also, for what it's worth, my male is on the same diet/schedule and he is gorgeous and very healthy.

We had the container filled with sand and had vermiculite on stand-by for the eggs. The vermiculite seemed like it was easier to dig in...I will go back to sand. She has only had the egg laying bin for the last couple days. I couldn't attend the vet visit because I'm at work. The vet said...

Well..no responses yet...we are on our way to the vet. Hopefully they can help.

Hello, We are distraught. Our girl BB Ambilobe is not doing well right now. She is always perky and an active hunter. Right now she is very week and her tongue is hanging out a bit. We are looking into a reputable vet now. A little background worth noting. We bred her with my male on the...

Once the chameleons are "engaged" in the act, how long are they hooked up for before they are finished?

Thanks. I've read that blog. Jan did a great job detailing her experience. I think my sand is "just right" not too damp....yet holds its shape. On a side note. I just fed her some crickets. She became very active, as usual. She's a great hunter. But something happened that I've never...

Hello, I understand this is no substitute for a visit to the vet. But your opinions matter, and I'd like to hear (read) them. Here is my issue first....then I'll backfill. My female, whose been a little lethargic the last few days, and to me looks a little stressed, just passed an egg...

Hello, Been a while since I've posted anything. I've been enjoying my male and female BB Ambilobes. She is pretty friendly. He likes to keep to himself. I'm very happy with his colors as he continues to mature. I think she reached "maturity" as she became an extraordinary solid brilliant...

No doubt! Even though my male wants nothing to do with being handled at the moment, he has a blast to watch.

I wasn't sure. I know chameleons have specialized cells called chromatophores that lie in layers under their transparent outer skin...giving them the ability to change colors. I'm assuming that when they shed, it is the transparent layer. So maybe the maturation of the chromatophores is...
