Spring at last!!! This is a very special month - its mine and my son’s bday month, the “gotcha” and/or hatch month for many of the chams… one of the girls even hatched on my son’s bday! This is Donnie’s gotcha month, and he is now 6.5 years old. He is a little slower, and goes to bed a bit...

Well deserved @JacksJill !! You are a wealth of knowledge, and always professional. Thanks for all you do!

Not much to worry about, if that’s what it is. For some plants like orchids it might be a problem personally I’d not worry. If its affecting your plants negatively you can “cut” the water for your mister with half distilled half tap.

My guess is either: excess minerals. plants, especially aroids like pothos and philodendrons, transpire through their leaves which often collects at the tip or margins of the leaf. If there is excess mineral in the soil / water they can shed it. Sorta like plant snalt :p. Sometimes light can...

Thank you! Always, but I’ll pass for someone who needs them more than I do!

Thanks, that would be great!

I'm not in the market today, but wanted to put out some feelers to see if anyone is working with K. Boehmei and has sexually mature males or females that would be available this summer. I have 3 three holdbacks from 2020 clutch, and am contemplating finding either a male or female mate to...

@kinyonga *whispers…* any idea on kinyongia? I know that you kept this species. I say kin - yawn-g-ah

Are you sure that is not a crested gecko? ! I can’t say I have seen that level of enthusiasm from my Kinyongia Boehmei, but they are certainly the most acrobatic of my chameleons! They do make mini leaps of faith from branch to branch, but their extra long tails are always still anchoring them.

I wouldnt use the reptaid after antibiotics. Just over medicating and risking stress on the kidneys. I do keep it on hand for emergencies, but always hydrate With the longest mist session possible. My vet cautions that it can cause alcohol toxicity if used incorrectly or for more than a few...

That color looks normal. I use reptaid myself. I believe what’s in the smaller vial is the alcohol suspension liquid… Or maybe that’s vice versa. I believe that they separate the ingredients because once you mix them the shelf life is not as long. That is my guess. Sometimes I see a little bit...

I’m very sorry for your loss. He will be missed.

I think that's the stuff! I got samples in varying thicknesses from 10 up to like 40, and I still couldn't tell / decide which was the right thickness! How was your experience working with it? Were you able to get it nice and taught, or did you use heat to do that? I'm planning to eventually...

Let me first say - I love my large Dragonstrand Clearside Atriums. I have several of the older versions, prior to the redesign and new latches. I, too, was on the hunt for another large Atrium and had trouble finding even the newest version. I am sure the pandemic has made it very difficult...

Distilled is necessary for medical devices, too, so maybe med supply stores?

Ah, Ok! For some reason I thought you said fungus was on the leaves, and I was a little concerned after seeing the photo - but perfectly normal to have fungus sprout from the soil. Im happy to find mushrooms sprouting up as it shows my soil is going through natural cycles.

That’s interesting… never saw that before. That sprouted from the soil, or a leaf?

also - what does the fungus look like on your leaves? if it is black spots, its probably black sooty mold, which is a side effect of plant pests. Usually the typical fungus blooms happen at the soil level, not on the leaves - although if the air is too stagnant, you can certainly get fungal...

without getting into the husbandry side, I've got a few suggestions. I, too, use Dragonstrand clearside enclosures, which offer great ventilation and humidity balance. Mine have a screen on the top and the right side. My technique for various species is to mist for about a minute just after...

What supplements are you using, and what bugs do they usually eat? (Curiosity)
