overkill + 1 Even if you have a lot of arboreal reptiles in your area, a quick scrub will likely take care of any potential problems. Baking is kind of cuckoo... P.S. the tree is _Albizia_ often called "mimosa" in the U.S. of A.

sorry I have no idea what caused it, but I'm sure its dead.

vet slam I've got to say, I don't really think that's fair. I know quite a few vets, and none of them get wealthy, especially seeing reptiles and small animals. Most of them have hearts bigger than their wallets. Ease up.

Safe Dwarf Scheffs are safe. A simple search here would have answered your question. Here's what you find when you use "capella".

fungus among There may be mold growing on the soil; this is not necessarily bad. It may pass with time, even if you do not treat it at all. Even if you do treat it, it might not go away, or it might re-occur right away. Even if it is a bad mold, the cheapest treatment might cost more than a...

butterflies and moths I feed all I can catch: I catch Cabbage Whites (actually a day-flying moth) all the time by hand. Painted Ladies and Admirals are a little harder to catch; for those I usually need a net. Bigger moths are easy at night by the house lights. The quads love 'em. If you...

response I would not cite Mr. Baker as an expert. His credentials and history are ridiculed in Horticulture circles (I have a b.s. in Horticulture and was a master gardener in Oregon, if that counts for anything). Many of his previous books and practices are used in classes as a negative...

Thanks. AFAIK, Pseuderanthemums sp. are unpalatable, but not dangerously toxic.

%#+!$ envy Ahhh... That's why you keep coveting other peoples four-horned males....

ID please OK, I give up; what are those two plants?

congrats Yay, congrats on more eggs!

De People are funny about DE: why would you want food-grade DE? Are you going to eat it? Its used as an additive to cattle feed. Its finer and actually *less* effective as an insecticide. And re: " ... high in silicates" The DE is by nature, high in silicates; its the silicate skeletons of...

the full Silkwood? I've got to say, I think giving plants this kind of treatment is unneeded for the sake of the chameleons, and will likely harm the plant. I recon that the danger in houseplants comes from the sprays and their residues left on the leaves. I wash repeatedly with...

in the air I don't have any evidence or data, but I have a hunch that some chams can absorb water through their lungs.

ghetto fogger Its worth pointing out this great build thread on the type of fog system I use. Mine looks a bit more ghetto than the other builder... edit: ... and yes, you do need a dripper and a fogger for many montane species.

deja vu, the gnat edition These gnat posts begin to sound alike after a while. Here's my contribution: There is a natural bacteria that has beeen found to control gnats; it is a form of the widely used _Bacillus thuringensis_, and it is very specific to the gnat, unlike the nematode. This...

+1 According to the ASPCA, everything is toxic. Ignore that ASPCA list. It is without any citations of literature. It has little relevance for our animals. The plant you show is _Hibiscus syriacus_, and as the others said, it is not a plant that will adapt to household conditions. There...

Not at a big box Check with a good local nursery, plant store, or even a large florist. No one will have pesticide-free plants. All commercially-grown plants are grown with an array of insecticides, and other chemicals that may be dangerous. You must wash them, sometimes repeatedly, to...

well done Great shots! What camera and lens were you using?
