There are soil and leaf matter on the tail, those are not tubercles.
Photos are not too good. I read people say pygmies can die of stress just because you change their cage or handle them. Even thought I don't really believe them, I don't want to risk it since I do not know anything, just...
I can shoot full body too but since it is nearly impossible to see the tubercles from farther away I thought it wouldn't be more helpful than tail shots. I will try to post full body lateral and dorsal shots and better tail detail shots. It is now pretty much clear to me that she(?) does not...
Hello everyone,
I obtained a Brookesia specimen recently. It was sold as a "female Brookesia therezieni", but I am not sure about both of these being true. As far as I can see, the chameleon has no pointed lateroventral tubercles (aka. the spikes on the sides of the back continuing on the...
4 grams is hatchling size? I had 2 clutches with all having 0.4-0.5 gram hatchlings except one egg having a 0.6 gram baby. My 3 months olds were 7-9 grams. So mine also were heavier than the thread owners baby, but we should not exaggerate by saying "4 grams is hatchling size", which might...
Then it will be hard to say. I guess as soon as you start to see the eggs popping between her ribs or when she starts rejecting to eat you should make the decision. If you leave her with the small laying bin, then there is the risk of her rejecting to lay the eggs and being egg-bound, since you...
There is no harm in trying both rather than only trying the "big-bin-outside" method. You can just fill this one and put it in around 3 weeks after her mating. If she does not lay into this one after the 4th week, then you can put her in the big bin. My friend had a giant veiled female that lay...
You gutload your bugs with veggies and gutload with repashy bugburger AND use repashy calcium plus EVERY feeding?
Maybe he has a problem with too much vitamins? That surely is not the advised amound or frequency of vitamins to give to a chameleon.
But still, it may not be a problem caused by...
İsolation article concludes with "Our results call that into question and suggest that for many reptiles, an environment richin social interaction may provide important benefits for their wellbeing.", but where is the part about the well-being of the reptiles? They state that the chameleons...
My male Jacksons and several Panthers were always bright, so I thought something might have been off with him. And pictures on the internet are always bright colored for montiums. :eek: I guess this is normal behavior though, at least for now. I will keep watching him and will try to give him...
Does anyone know if it is normal for montame chams or specifically montiums to show this kind of coloration only in the waking-up phase and going-to-sleep phase? He is very much brown at daytime in general, like in the first few photos. Ambient vivarium temp is high 60's to low 70's, spot temp...
Sorry for your loss. Hopefully you won't distance yourself from chameleons after this loss. Buying a chameleon under 3 months of age is a big risk, babies are very very sensitive and might die of reasons that seem to be unknown.
Maybe if you shared all the information asked on "how to ask for...
I guess most people do not understand that an animal not having any "love" or "bond" for a human doesn't directly mean the animal is getting stressed or being psychologicaly harmed while interacting with a human (their owner).
If the animal is familiar with the human and has learned that the...
If you don't want her to lay eggs for now, keep the spot low (I guess recommended was high 70s or maybe low 80s? Not sure) and feed her less then she will eat, but enough to let her develop. I sadly don't remember the recommended amound of feeders that can be given daily.
My girl layed an...
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I want to ask just to make sure: For how long have your crickets been adults? Can't they be just dying of old age?
If they are not that old, I would change their cage and decoration and go with only carrot/apple/basil for the diet for a few days or for a week.
Yeah, I saw on social media some people from Canada, Germany and Netherlands that bred these guys this year. A nice year of montium. :D Maybe Canada can ship to US?
Yes, I moved in on monday! :eek: I was already talking with the breeder for week, just needed to move and get the terrarium and...
My first montium, the species that made me fall in love with chameleons for the first time 7-8 years ago... :rolleyes: FINALLY MINE :eek: (4-5 months old male)
And for this guy, I built a bioactive vivarium with springtails and isopods for the first time too. I hope it doesn't break down for a...
