Ah I misread the post. The photo was too big for me to see also. Well nevermind then!

Senegal chameleons are almost entirely wild caught. They also tend to be very parasite prone and don't do well in captivity. If you're interested in a chameleon you should try to find someone who's breeding them and buy from him. Aric

It certainly is a small possibility, especially since nothing else has changed. When did she lay the eggs?

Thanks, Kara. I have the walking stick situation sorted out now:). I think between those and some wingless fruit flies I should be able to start some baby pardalis nicely.

Yeah, she passed the balloon no problem. That iguana was a hoot. I rescued her from a pet store that took her in on trade. She had MBD so bad her legs were like rubber. I named her "Raggedy Ann" for that reeason. I nursed her back and she was a nice pet for some time before I had to re home her...

Not a beardie, but I once had a green iguana eat a balloon. She was a free ranger, and I somehow missed this balloon. She popped it and ate it. I came in just as she was finishing. Aric

I have been bitten by a couple over the years. They may scratch the skin enough to bleed but mostly its just startling.

At night don't worry about it. As long as your house doesn't get too cold it's fine. Turn off all the lights. Aric

Honestly I have never had a favorite. I like them all for different reasons. I like some less than others, but pretty much all the reds, blues, and rainbows are fascinating to me.

Curt was very nice and helpful. I've been out of the hobby for 10 years now, and it's nice to see how panther chameleon breeding has progressed! He is obviously a very responsible breeder. I got to see his logs and his whole set up. Some very nice breeding stock and well-cared for babies, too...

Score one for the old guy who's been out of it for way too long!:) Glad I could help. Aric

The problem isn't the space so much, it's that they're visually oriented. So just *seeing* the female will cause him to chase her down and try to mate. That puts way too much stress on the female. She needs a physical and visual barrier. Aric

Are you sure you're measuring the heat *at* the basking spot? You need to read the temp of the stick right at the basking spot, not the air nearby. Or measure the temp of the cham as he's basking (a little infrared temp gun is great for this). With a 175w bulb it seems you should have plenty of...

Thanks for the suggestions!

Walking sticks! I hadn't even thought of those, you're right. They're also kind of interesting, not "yucky." My wife isn't squeamish about most cham related things, she loves the lizards and didn't really mind when we had crickets all over the house. But we've got kids now, and I'm trying...

Big boy! Can't wait to see him in another year!

That was one option I was considering. I understand they are actually quite large and "creepy" though, which might make them a no go for the feminine part of the household :) Still a possibility, though! Aric

Back when I was breeding chameleons (rather small time, at that) the only real options for breeding feeders was crickets. I see some are now breeding various roaches and even grasshoppers/locusts, along with an assortment of worms/moths. My question: is there a reasonably cost effective and...

They are deaf but I suspect they can feel vibrations. They do hiss at each other. Being blind may make being sprayed even less pleasant. Kinda always feeling on edge, maybe? But regardless, some chams just don't like it. Many do. I remember a couple of my panthers loved being squirted right in...

She probably hated the noise and the look of the spray bottle. Think about it, it's kind of a giant, hissing, violent beast to a little lizard! I doubt your cham will mind a quiet stream of mist coming from somewhere unseen. Aric
