I agree with Bruce; this one is not safe with animals. Period.

The habitat in the mountains of Yemen is not desert, and it is not like Sa'ana. The terrain is full of buttes, with steep cliffs broken by lots of valleys. These cliffs and valleys are forested and shrubs even grow on the cliff faces. Rain is not rare, and water does come down from the higher...

Mother-in-law"s tongue it's a Sansevieria; not particularly toxic, and too tough for most animals to chew. They are one of the most low-light tolerant plants, but not tolerant of constant moisture when in low light settings.

I wouldn't - most species in the family Ericaceae are somewhat to highly toxic.

I like the last one - it's a Meru-go-round

I've probably seen between 100-200 WC, and there was a lot of variation in coloration in those lots. I remember a really great looking male posted here by Celine - he had a great deal of yellow.

It's not obvious; lung shape is one of the primary differences, with hemipenal morphology, and the shape and extent of sail fins. Horn number is not diagnostic. The original gracilior article is in German - I will look in Tillbury when I get home for his take on it.

I am pretty sure the vast majority were q. quadricornis; the locales for gracilior are more remote.

succulent There is really nothing that succulents have in common, except water-storing leaves and stems; there are thousands of succulents, and each would need to be evaluated. In a general way, I would say no, not worth experimenting with in the chameleon cage.

croton slander No so; the ornamental houseplant "croton" is Codiaeum variegatum, and is edible and non-toxic for mammals. There is great confusion, as there a genus of related plants truly named Croton which contains some toxic plants. I can find no cases in the literature for poisoning with...

Yes, this plant is common in the houseplant trade; it is not dangerously toxic according to the literature. It does have very soft and weak growth habit, and would not take any kind of climbing or foot traffic. I would think it suitable only for pygmies.

I got mine at Solartech: https://www.solarmeter.com/model62.html Amazon has them too: http://www.amazon.com/Carolina-Solarmeter-6-2/dp/B0043XD3AY

I also agree with what has been said here as a caution. So a rational approach would be for a group of keepers to choose a species and form a breeding association for that species; they would keep a stud book, trade information, and hopefully, someday trade offspring. In my case, only...

This is such a good thing in so many ways; let's show the larger world that this group of keepers can support conservation! Thanks for reminding again. Got me off my proverbial butt to do it! :D

In fairness to organic farmers, it should be said that chemical residues on their produce could be from spray drift, and water contamination.

I don't think it is a stupid question at all. But in all honesty, I'm not sure. BT works in a very specific way on an insect's gut. I know it would theoretically not affect non-insects. Perhaps try an experiment for yourself ?

Ah, you think there may be some effect from the Bti used as a drench, and then consumed by a chameleon that eats the soil? Bt is well studied in non-target organisms, but I'm sure no studies exist on that. Considering the nature of Bt strains and their mode of action, I have no worries about its...

Ah, data on what question? I do have many decades of real world experience.

B. t. i. with a notation for the strain that is effective on fungus gnats (not all Bti strains work on gnats), are safe and effective when used as a soil drench. I use the form in a product sold as "Mosquito Bits". I do not find the control is as complete as when using Imidacloprid. Neither is...

I could not find any specific cases of poisoning in the literature, but I would not use them in an environment with a species of chameleon known to graze on leaves. While "pothos" - Epipremium aureum is very closely related (it was once called Scindapsus aureus), it is far lower in the...
