The tenuis and sternfeldi that I keep at home are kept in a separate room in my basement where they are not free rangeing so to speak but are in very very large cages, So I light to room with several 250 wat metal halides to provide their UV source as well as a nice amount of heat. You could...

"That report was written in the second half of 2007, with updates made regularly until April 2008. We continue to hear of very small numbers of cases but fortunately, owing to the positive efforts of most of the companies whose products were involved, lamps causing these problems have been...

Great job!

Have you ever kept a montane species of chameleon? A T. melleri is not going to be an easy task if so. They are a very tempermental species when it comes to food, temp, WATER. Check out Melleridiscovery they are a great source of info for melleri. Good luck

He will come around, he is most likely just stressed from the change of scenery (Chams are stressed very easily by this). Simple case of the infamous "Stressed Out Cameleon"

As far as the head shaking and side scratching, the mealworms may be to big for him and could be causing an irritation inside of him. From my experience the head shaking back and forth is a way to "work" down some larger prey items. And as for the eye, it could be a number of issues from...

Yeah Jo, haven't you heard of those really tiny dogs that you build a cage for and just keep them in there. You can only cohabitate up to three though otherwise they become territorial. Haha jk jk I think he means kennel... :D

1 1/2 inches??? My K. Tenuis could eat your tav's for breakfast! Haha jk. Beautiful chams laurie your doing a fabulous job!

Chameleons are not able to process sound. In other words, they can't hear.

Remember back in 08' when the quotas for all three horned chameleons had halted (except for F1) I almost wish they would do it again. Giv e them a few years off I say. the quotas for 2011 are all about 500 per three horned species and even less for F1? Why is that? It seems back A$$wards...

Trace, When are you going to breed those beautiful goetzi's?!? Congrats!

Most seem to agree with freezing due to a reptiles ability to slow body temperature and slip off into death with little discomfort, Depending on the temp of the freezer it may develop ice crystals within the animals body and can cause what is believed to be severe pain tothe animal. You can...

I would go with a freezer... Its probably the most humane way of going about it. it will lower the temp enough to "hibrinate him" (so to speak) and then he will eventually die. Thats the best way I know of with out going to a vet. And I have a feeling for something that small the vet would...

Yeah I do. I will get some up in this tread in the next few days. I have to grab my camera from school and I can trow a few up for you, I may actually have that memory card here so it may be sooner. Just check back in a couple days. I'll actually be starting a blog in the blog section...

Yes and a breeder stepped in (Me)to help the issue and that became one of my final breeding lines right after he (my Cousin) got rid of his sternfeldi. He felt that after that he was not ready to have them. Really people? What he hell? Read the previous post... You guys can go through this...

Thats pretty much the same exact situation here... It suck's. I feel like it was karma due to the fact that I had not checkind in on them all day and then finally went super early in the morning to make sure everything was okay. Everything is almost completely automated with the exception of...

Haha that was posted when I would not help my little cousin sex them and Identify whether or not his were gravid.:p He was being a little immature and I asked him to do a little research on his animals before buying them as he had just decided without talking to anybody he would purchase a trio...

Thank you everyone for you condolences. I am really torn up about this. I didd check into local mn laws about all this. My renters insurance does not and will not cover the loss of animals and as for the liability of the repair men, it is being looked into but I fear a similar answer. And as...

I just went to stop by my rented space I use for breeding my Rudis Chameleons and found that the heater/furnis had stopped working at some point through out the day and the landlord had decided he would take it upon him self to let the repair men into my facility unsupervised and they left the...

If I may ask... How do you keep your tenius? What temps are they kept at year round? What types of foods do you feel make them most at home or excited? Enclosure size/type? And how many do you feel can be kept per enclosure and to what ratio? Sorry for the explosion of questions but I am...
