Yes I've used saline solution and it does work. I did this in conjunction with warm shower mistings to get things out of their eyes.

I wouldn't say ambilobe at all. Looks a lot more like a typical ambanja which at times can look like nosy faly. But I'm going with pure ambanja.

Buddy, as others have mentioned before, you need to do your research. If you did you'd know your female won't ready for mating again for a good few months. Some of my females won't mate until the next season. I hope you're ready to adequately care for the large amount of babies you will have...

It's a boy (y)

What's the story behind your username PapaYskoud? That's "Daddy Ice Cold" from the South African Afrikaans language.

At 2 years old he shouldn't have a problem mating. Not too old and losing his drive? I had the same problem with a male up where I lived (1700 meters above sea level, naturally low humidity) and I went on holiday to a tropical coast and brought all Chams with me. When I was there he all of a...

I've had tiny ants attack and kill a few of my hatching veileds once. My crickets also never stand a chance. Never underestimate the buggers. I had to float my cricket tubs in a larger tub of water. You can place chalk powder around your cages to stop them from climbing up. You can also put...

But yes it's probably just an infertile egg. Especially if it's very hard. I always cut open eggs if I plan on discarding them to see what everything looks like inside. It will probably look like scrambled egg in there.

If it is being kept in the exact same conditions as the rest of the eggs and it isn't looking good then throw it away. Fertile eggs will deflate and shrivel when the incubation medium is not moist enough. But like I said if you've done it right and all the other eggs are fine, it's likely...

This is the last male panther I owned. Not even sure on locale. He was sold to me very young and almost dead as an ambanja. But that certainly isn't the case. Maybe a big mix of locales.

That bulb cannot be 100 watts producing 26C while being positioned inside the cage. As Remkon said, that is achievable with much lower wattage. Generally when she goes darker that means she is basking and warming up. When she goes light green under the light that means she's warm enough. Your...

Is it possible she has eaten something she shouldn't have or been exposed to a chemical? I have a had a veiled freak out when she ate a random red bug outdoors. She violently shook her head. The bug obviously expelled something toxic when bitten as a defense mechanism. Also maybe you've put new...

Very good chance that the egg is just infertile. Infertile eggs can take some time to go bad. But keep it until you're very sure it's done for (mouldy, deflated, off looking).

The bradypodions are restricted to small niche habitats in the country. Most species are found along coast lines. I live in Johannesburg with no Bradypodions near by. I have heard a story that someone released some in Johannesburg and so a small population have developed. Otherwise I only have...

Correct, but it is very challenging to legally keep and breed them here. There are some dodgy dealers who have managed to export them from S.A but I wouldn't trust them to hold my cup of coffee... some more trustworthy guys are working on becoming legitimate keepers and breeders. With me moving...

Awesome addition. Do you know of any other breeders or importers in the UK? I live in South Africa and I'm moving to the UK this year. I'm definitely going to breed Chams that side.

I agree with Jejeanpierre. In my country we completely lost all the lateralis majors due to lack of interest and very few people breeding them. If I were you I'd take him up on the idea of investing your time and money in a species a bit more special that likely, without new imports, will...

You need a spot lamp bulb not an incandescent bulb.

80cm tall should be fine in my opinion.

Nosy faly or nosy be. Post a picture of him fired up.
