When you incubate your eggs, do you have another lid on the container, as well as the cups over the eggs? Just curious how you keep the vermiculite from drying out on the days you don't water the eggs. I really like the way you incubate the eggs from the pictures. I might possibly have melleri...
Those balteatus pics are amazing, we don't see pictures of them very often. I've never seen a female show those patterns, usually they are a solid green.

My melleri that was just on it was very lethargic. I force fed 2ml of pedialyte, 3 times a day to keep him hydrated because he wouldn't drink much at all. 3 weeks later he was great. He also happened to have a bad roundworm infestation on top of that, so that wasn't helping. I'm treating him now...
FYI, a Nosey Be is a panther. Read as much as you can here on the forum regarding care, proper lighting, feeders, gutloading feeders, supplementation, humidity, watering, caging, and maintenance. Then ask all the questions you can come up with here in forums, and get a game plan together to...
Thank you, she's doing great. I'm now fairly certain she's gravid. She's gaining roughly 10-12g per week, staying off on her own away from the male for most of the day, basking much more, showing increased appetite, and now showing some gullar edema. All signs pointing to being gravid. I'm...
Thank you, gravid would be great. That would start a whole new adventure, and cage building. lol My son talked me into new iPhones for the both of us for christmas as an early gift since we both had upgrades. The slow motion camera is great, hence the videos.

Great information, very, very interesting. The majority of us don't have the opportunity to travel to Madagascar or south Africa to take such valuable data. I feel like we're getting a private tour on the Discovery Channel.
Great thread!

She's roughly 17 inches in total length. She can shoot her tongue at least 18 inches. I have a confirmed male that frequently colors up with breeding colors, and tries to mount her, and she turns and allows it and doesn't get threat or alarm colors during, so I'm 99% certain she's a female...
Well its the first day of winter here, so this is wishfull thinking for the spring, but how do you raise or keep katydids? I catch them often in the warmer months to feed to my chams, but I've seen others mention keeping them in outdoor cages and/or possibly raising them. Just curious how to do...
If you want a great reverse osmosis system at a very low price, go to www.bulkreefsupply.com. Its a reef aquarium site, but its the best place to get a deal on a quality RO/DI unit.

At my last vet vist with my newest melleri, the vet tech came back in with him after weighing him and confessed she and the others had been placing it by a red towel to see if it would change colors. I was kind of annoyed by it, I told her the Cham was stressed out enough, and please don't add...
That definitely looks like a burn, or bite. Do you feed black crickets? Get to a vet ASAP. They'll possibly clean the wound and look for an infection that may need an antibiotic. They'll probably prescribe silvadine cream to put on the wound.
Good luck,
