Oh, I'm so glad to hear they gave him to you! And you are a good person to take him on, it's not easy emotionally or financially to adopt an ailing rescue. I really hope he does well!

95 degrees?? Yikes, she really didn't know what she was talking about, that is wayyyy too hot for the cage temp!:eek:

Oh, what a beauty! I am so sorry for your loss!

Can't help you on the San Fran climate, but for the plants, yes, you need to dump the original soil, and rinse the entire plant and its roots off completely, and then replant in 100% organic potting soil. I also cover the soil with large river rocks afterwards to keep my cham from ingesting it...

I was a vet assistant for 5 years way back when, and while we didn't deal with herps at all, what you are describing sure sounds like the seizures I used to see in furry critters. The way it is coming and going really sounds like she is seizing and then recovering. I have no idea how a vet...

How do you guys keep your cats from eating the geckos??? I'd love to have a couple, but my cats would go ballistic if they saw a gecko running along the walls! :eek::eek::eek:

Great, the new feeding schedule will start tomorrow! I like the idea of cutting gradually, Joyce will hopefully be less pissed off at me, and I won't have to deal with her gazing pointedly into her empty feeding cup and then giving me the "Well???" look quite so frequently. :rolleyes: The...

Thanks Brad, okay, Chameleon Weight Watchers it is! I had seen a couple of pics on here of chunky chams, and didn't want her to go that route. Yes, I read the Kitty site info, it just didn't get very specific as to exactly what age they should be when you go from eat-like-a-pig-is-fine to...

Good idea, and it will be easy to get one, as she keeps pooping in her nesting box! :rolleyes:

I've been reading through past posts and the "Kitty the veiled" website, and am not sure on one diet question. Joyce is estimated to be 5-6 months old right now, and since I moved her to her new cage a week ago she has been eating at least twice as much as she was before. I want to make sure I...

I've actually used that one, it came in a batch of stuff I bought on ebay last year from my frogs. It's HORRIBLE! I could tell it wasn't accurate (50% humidity when I can see condensation on the tank walls??!!), and verified it with a digital one I got later.

These were in one of those disposable flat tupperware containers, slightly longer than sandwich sized, lid sealed tight with no airholes and a piece of coated wire grate (not screen) inside. This was sealed in a cardboard box with plastic grocery bags for padding. Did they maybe just suffocate?

No, shipped priority mail form Georgia on Thursday and arrived here in Washington today, so the weekend added an extra transit day, but that's about all. How are they normally packaged? I wonder if that could be the problem.

Well they definitely stink, but I assumed that was due to the giant ball of poop they are stuck in. Can't tell if they are wet, they are too coated with frass and I am trying to dry everything out so the frass falls off and I can see if there are any more live ones. This is seriously gross. :mad:

Oh, I've done much more than tap! These thing are absolutely COATED in frass, just a giant smelly mass all stuck together. I just didn't know if they go through any growth stages where they don't move, as these are all young, less than 1 inch, and I didn't want to toss them if they are...

Well, I ordered silkworms from a private party and am not sure they shipped well. Today I received a grat big stinky ball of frass with worms embedded in it, and have spent the past hour trying to extract the worms from the sticky ball. I now have maybe a dozen moving worms, and a pile of...

Wow, glad this thread got bumped up, your chams are incredible, and awesome pics!

What type of lilly? If it is a peace lilly, then that one I know definitely is toxic.

I know that you need to rinse off the plant entirely and rinse off all soil that is anything but totally organic, and then repot the plant in 100% organic potting soil. I also then cover the soil with large river rocks (I bought a bag of them in the aquarium section at the pet store) to keep...

I don't think anybody was saying that bee pollen is bad, just that, like anything else, using too little is useless. It seems nobody is 100% sure what exactly the benefits are of using the correct amounts, same people claim great results, and others say there isn't enough evidence. As for any...
