Heya Owen,
Since you live with a climate that is somewhat "closer" to Madagascar compared to us, you have some advantages in caring for your chameleons.
Knowing that you live in Jakarta and the fact that you put your chameleon outside 24/7, you can assume that the night climate there will never...
One of the flaw that I see of using chocolate as a gutload regiment is the fact that it contains Theobromine, a xanthine compound known to be lethal to cats and dogs. Theobromine is not toxic to us because our body can break down the compounds effectively compared to our pet.
But, I cannot find...
Assuming that he is not shedding, I have seen some cases of fresh thermal burn showing discoloration like that.
But, best to consult with a herp vet to make sure and to get a medication of some sort. This way, in case if it is indeed a burn, you will have a medication to combat infections.
to add another perspective, my male veiled (RIP) started out aggressive and bite me out of the box. I never handled him except for cage cleaning, going outside to get sunlight, and going to the vet. When he passed his juvenile age, he mellowed down considerably. All that positive event (with the...
When they die, the infected silkies will turned black. Although i do not think that the virus will affect your chameleon physically, i am assuming the infected silkies will have quite an odd taste. For the fear that your chameleon might develop a strong aversion to silkworms, i recommend not...

i am not a big fan of visiting San Diego for art museum...
Went to SD Museum of Art and kinda felt disappointed with their permanent collections.
The only thing fascinating at that time was Sorolla's piece.
It was quite an odd feeling.. I felt that the classical piece isn't that good and the...
The source can be anything really.. but seems like your silkworm colony is contaminated with grasserie virus. I believe you are familiar with the silkworms 101 thread. I wrote a lengthy basic husbandry for silkies and touch a bit about grasserie disease.
I guess no matter what, people will believe what they want to believe :rolleyes:
Mantis is not an endangered species, people. It has never been protected by the state in the past or present.
Mantis is indeed a beneficial insect since it hunts many of insect pests.
Thus, people feel the need to...
Stoofycat,
If you take a clear picture of him from behind that shows his back leg's heel, we will clear this confusion once and for all. Sexing veiled is not a terribly complicated process. They indeed can be sexed immediately.
There is no need to wait until he/she turn into an adult.
But...
something is swollen definitely. Could be an infection of some kind or worse an edema in progress.
A vet visit is in order..
I think it is best to contact the breeder you got her from and check their policy about this situation.
Especially, since I am assuming you originally purchase the baby...
I am not a big fan of Habba Spit.
If you want to get a misting machine, get a mistking instead.
As far as a fogger, there is a better, more efficent, and cheaper alternative.
It's ultrasonic humidifier. Get one in your local walmart, target, or other stores.
