I'm going with the breeder for a few reasons: My climate is incredibly dry, and I worry about losing humidity. I'll be sitting mine in a recessed area meant for a hutch, so I dont need visibility on the sides. I plan on using "great stuff" foam on the sides and back in conjunction with live...

Dat casque I was just telling my wife last night I think that because of their headware, all male veileds should be named after a pope.

Not big enough, no.

I've used drylok for a few wooden enclosures for mangrove species of monitors in the past with no issues, and I know it's almost the standard for tegu keepers who go the DIY route. "air out" time is definitely crucial, though.

Man, congratulations!

What a stunner!

Nosy be aren't the only panthers with blue. At this young age with no sire for reference it could be any locale.

Post was from 2009. His chameleon probably went back to sleep by now.

Yeah, he needs a basking point with higher temps.

Even if there was no change when you put him in the screen cage, I'd still move him there permanently. Long term in your climate keeping him in glass just seems like a gamble. Does he have a basking spot with higher temps? Low temps will drastically slow down metabolism which will in turn curb...

The problem with feeding prey items that are wild caught is that you have no idea what parasites and pesticides/poisons they've been exposed to. It's a gamble.

I know they're a non native species but I just can't get behind pulling an animal out of the wild and sticking it in a cage when this species is so readily available for so little. Not what you're asking, but I'm throwing it out there just the same.

Wasn't trying to pry, just always a bit overly excited to know someone with similar interests is in this area of California, rural as it is. I have family in inyo/mono county. Beautiful country. Much nicer than the barren wasteland I call home.

Awesome. Can I ask what part of central California you're in? I'm in the Fresno area. Corcoran, specifically.

It may come down to personal preference, but I've found that river rocks, especially in humid conditions, get pretty gross and make cleaning more of a chore. Frequent mistings can quickly make poo soupy, which will succumb to gravity and be easy to miss when under or on the sides of rocks. Not...

Most frogs/toads are also toxic if ingested, so that may have also been a large factor.

Probably my favorite species. Very handsome boy. I'm curious, how does one take a chameleons blood pressure? Also, what lead you to believe it may be a problem? Guess I'm asking about signs and symptoms. To be clear, I'm not trying to come off as critical at all. I'm a nurse by profession, and...

Handsome boy. Love that yellow.

I know we're talking chameleons here, but I have to disagree with this generalization. As someone who has kept numerous varanids and larger reptiles, I have experience first hand many a lizard that not only displays a thought process and rationalization to numerous situations, but...
