I was looking at my 1 yo Ambanja WC panther female today and noticed a small bulge under her left eyelid. As I watched it started to move! (Insert nausea here) Looks like a small 2 mm worm under the eyelid. Was thinking of trying to coax it out w a Q-tip but that seems like quite a challenge...

That is in fact NOT what I said. I simply said gutloading in fruit flies is ineffective. Please see this landmark article I recommend to all for precise info on all feeders. http://www.nagonline.net/Technical%20Papers/NAGFS00397Insects-JONIFEB24,2002MODIFIED.pdf Note fruit flies are very high...

I breed Hydei in standard fashion 16 oz cups and excelsior w Repashy superfly as media. Dart froggers have proven you can't truly gutload flies so I dust as well.

Necropsy normal. Flies in stomach. Organs looked normal. (I am a human surgeon by trade). To me this leans to electrolyte imbalance or poisoning via invasive bug in enclosure, bacterial or viral source. Will never know. With such small animals could be almost anything. My B. transvaals still...

Found my gravid B. pumilium from my pair in bottom of cage this am. No signs trauma. No obvious deformities. Seemed to be very well yesterday. Was feeding well on Hydei w heavy calcium dusting and 1/8" Gutloaded crix under light your reptiles forest UV w 45w halogen basking bulb. Also out in sun...

Found this also since temp and humidity argument is brought up often Note in Ambilobe average days per year above 90 are 195.5 Average high temp for whole year 91 Average number "rainy" days only 31.5 Average low temp 70 Just sayin

I use multiple plants and rotate them in and out of the enclosures hosing them off and letting them dry in sun for a week before reintroducing.

With all due respect. Proper husbandry is to mimick native range as much as possible. Here is Ambilobe weather at present Note high in 90s and humidity 88%. Given Madagascar sun, I'm sure basking temps in native range are often 95+. With proper hydration and cooler shaded areas in enclosure...

I would love to hear any tricks to keep them from stinking up the refrigerator!

That's why I said OUTSIDE the cage

Hold your male up outside the cage and you will have the answer. :-)

PM sent........

I agree w Anvil. 1-2 nozzles per cage with 1-2 min 4x per day is more than enough. Doing more just likely to cause mold and risk of URI.

Do not put grain-based food in bin and let get moist, makes mites like crazy! Try to keep food Source and moisture sources separated. Oranges work better for me than crystals in avoiding mites as well

If u check the dates on original post you'll see I have had these up and running w Mistking misters 2-3 times a day outside for about 5 months and they still look brand new. Feeders climb all over backgrounds and my Bradypodian love to hunt them there. Cork pieces can be found a lot of places...

Been there, done it and love the look. Here's the thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/showthread.php?t=96562

Why would you want to?

RO is best. Also much cheaper in the long term.

You might want to be careful w the fogger. The tubing can breed mold and fungus very quickly and then before you know it you're filling your chams lungs with pathogens all day long. if using them, they should be disinfected frequently.

Great info and caresheets for each species here: http://saurian.net Warning! They are highly addictive AND very labor intensive.
