What do you think it is about their environment that leads them to take this short lived, fast reproduction strategy for species survival?

I cheated and looked on FB 😂 I would have only guessed one of them 🤷‍♂️

It would be a problem if halogen and incandescents are totally banned. There the only reliable source of infrared-A, which creates superior deep tissue heating compared to ceramic heaters (almost entirely IR-C) and deep heat projectors (some IR-B and C, but little IR-A)

@javadi may not claim to be an expert, but as far as everyone else can tell, he definitely is 😂 Great timely post. I have a couple of new friends coming from Chameleon cans early next week. 😁

Thanks! 😁 I’ll check these out

Happy Birthday!

And the above study adds to the literature showing that it’s possible to manipulate and improve their nutritional content through diet

Definitely, they are pretty ravenous little things

If I have it’s been awhile, it seems like I may have seen those posted here previously, but it’s been a while Do you have links to them?

Looks like an interesting study. I’ll try to get the full article tomorrow. I think mealworms can be a nutritious addition to a lizards diet when properly cared for. It would be interesting to compare a bugs nutritional profile after one of these commercial diets vs the current recommended...

Happy Birthday Thatcher! My son and I have been reading your book together

Don’t be too sure. I threw about 8 discoids that were too big for my lizards in a ten gallon tank and put a heating pad on one side with a thermostat on it and 6 months later there were babies in there. It can be done better to increase production, but they weren’t hard to breed Red runners...

@Kaizen please wait to do the next backyard tour with Bill in the summer so you can wear this outfit again 😂

The negative I hear about about BSFL is issues with digestability. I have read reports of whole undigested larvae being present in the lizards poop I suppose this is possible, but I would guess you’d see it more often if the lizard had eaten lots of them at one feeding This article talks...

I don’t think there is anything wrong with feeding mealworms to any of your lizards. The reasons given to not use them are not supported by any scientific data. They can be part of a varied diet for most any lizard. I give my Leo all the same stuff I give my Chams Here’s a good discussion...

🤯 Nothing else to add You guys are smart

Very nice looking enclosure! I haven’t seen a lot of people do it, but you could consider closing off some, but not all of the lower access door too. This moves the enclosure towards more of a “glass” style where humidity is held pretty well. I would even wonder, if you’re sitting on a...

@Kaizen is correct. There is no literature for any species of chameleon available. Even the ratios that the supplements use of various fat soluble vitamins seems to be picked out of thin air. Which is important since both A and D can affect each other’s mechanisms for gene transcription and...

The author is quite insane, but does assemble the evidence well
