I am pretty sure pic 1 is a C. quilensis. -roo

Pic one is a gravid female and the other pics which look like same cham is a male. His nostrils also look a little puffy which could be normal for him but I suggest carefully opening his mouth and looking at his hard palette and verify that he doesn’t have some sort of infection/abscess there...

What do the sensors look like are they big? I like the wireless but just dont have a problem walking into the cham room to check on things. But I do see some need for it if you have a large home and want to make sure the AC or something like that didnt shut off. -roo

Something like, not like I had a "road map" handy. Same here with mine, a good 5-10 minutes to "fluff the pillows". -roo

Nope go with the 10.0 then if the mesh is dark. -roo

That’s kick-ass sea bass. Is that a plastic floor? If so setting a simple drainage system would be easy. Just need cut hole out with a holes saw, glue in some window screen to keeper feeders in, glue a small funnel right under it and have it drain into tupper ware like container. Really nice...

You should get the zoomed reptisun 5.0 and it should equal width of the cage ... so a 24 inch bulb. Mount it towards the very back/top of the cage. For a veiled, try and get a cage another foot taller ... so 48 inches tall. It will appreciate the extra room. -roo

I am bit confused with your description but kind of have an idea what you are talking about. Either way it’s a moot point since I and pretty much most people in this forum believe anything analog is junk. You are better off going to a garden store or a garden section like at Lowes and getting a...

I can really answer that. It depends on the room temps, the size of the chameleon, basking light wattage. Just remember that really long periods of basking … and I will guess like 45 minutes to an hour (someone please correct me if I’m wrong) is probably too long and the wattage needs to be...

Something like this should work or check out your local gardening store and try and find it locally. -roo http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Digital-in-out-Min-max-Thermometer-Hygrometer-snake_W0QQitemZ250106688688QQihZ015QQcategoryZ1285QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Well not all my pygmies have this color and her boyfriend is completely tan … interesting observation. I probably have no more or no less then anyone else when it comes to betas in the feeder food however I do probably supplement more then the average keeper and so far haven’t run into any...

Haha! Reminds me of my first time. :rolleyes: How long it take for them to breed? My lats usually take 15-25 minutes. When she is receptive I mate them every weekend or when the male sneaks into her cage while I’m not looking. -roo

With the ambient temps that warm probably a 75w should do it. You should be using a digital temp gauge with an external probe to check the basking temps which for starters can be around 95F but what you really should so is observe to see how long it basks for … if it for a short while, say for...

Look online I guess ... a couple years back I found it online but then just decided to get 1/2" PVC coated from Home Depot. Did you ask HD or Lowes to see if they can order it for you? -roo

I agree … captivity for WC critters plays a huge role in throwing off the balance with parasites. I just picked up that “Understanding Reptile Parasites” book from Amazon for around $8 – gave it a quick look last night. It’s a small enough book where some of us who own it could put a nice...

Ok, I think I translated your Engrish … The hardware cloth does usually allow for feeders to escape and that’s something I deal with. Anything like crickets that can escape easily are cup fed but feeders like silkworms are free rainged in the cage so the cham can hunt them. Neither the...

There are a boatload of good books but I suggest getting these two for starters in this order. Poke around the net for the best price. -roo http://www.hancockhouse.com/titles/chamleon.htm http://www.reptilia.org/Retail/Bookz_reviews/Cham_Hddn_Jwls.HTM

Well they shouldn’t be climbing on the screen in the first place, that may just mean that they are unhappy about something in their environment but then again you may just have a cham that likes to climb on the screen. To answer your question though, yes it can be hard on the nails if they climb...

I don’t know what the deal is with the orange color … a bunch of my F2 brev babies were all orange as well but when they matured they lost that color and went to the typical brown/grey/black. Maybe it’s the orange soda I mist them with. Sorry for the pic being down … the university server...

One item not mentioned is that it’s very important to scrub the branches to remove loose debris, bark, etc. – chams will squeegee their wet eyes up against branches to clean them and you really want to avoid anything coming off the branch and getting lodged into their eyes. -roo
