I'm not sure what you mean by all sucked in. What is being all sucked in? RO water and keeping the water reservoir free of debris is key to keeping the pump and nozzles functioning properly. I have a MistKing pump and a few nozzles that are at least a decade old and still being used daily...

Make sure the lid on your water reservoir is sealed tight. I have a German Shepherd and his hair always manages to get in the reservoir and that clogs my nozzles. The spray tips can be unscrewed and the hair removed with a toothpick and compressed air.

I have found this to be absolutely true. When I first get a chameleon and am working with it, cleaning cage, feeding, etc. I always avoid eye contact. When you first start tong feeding a chameleon it always work better to avoid eye contact or to turn your head to the side. It's amazing the...

The black background is usually how females look when they are either gravid or non-receptive and in the presence of a male. It was a picture of a gravid lateralis that got me into chameleons twenty or so years ago.

Haha, thank you very much. It did take a lot of years to get there and I'm still nowhere near "satisfied" with it. Although I am proud of it. So many little mistakes a long the way that I've learned from and use to keep trying to improve. If only money wasn't a consideration...

Haha yeah, I love their scalation, very dragon-like. Her gentleness really does come across in her face I think. Thank you. :)

Thank you :)

Thanks everyone! That one female is just a stunner. I'm hoping her offspring get her colors.

Congrats Carl. Are these the two you got at the last Hamburg show?

Thanks Maya! I'll post a few here too ;) MsCham, you have great taste in chameleons! Carpets are awesome little guys. IMO they are just as beautiful and hardy (as captive bred) as panther chameleons and have less space requirements. Here are some of my group. One male is from Dooley1 (Kevin)...

Congrats! They are a really neat species. I'm sure the CB babies will be awesome. Good luck to you in hatching them. :)

Spring has finally arrived! :cool: This male lateralis was not impressed with the good weather. It probably had more to do with the camera in his face but he was not having the photo shoot. :p I wanted to bring the girls out but they are all gravid and set to lay soon so I left them inside...

I would love to see this finished as well. Looks like a great idea. I love coroplast too. My big cages are made of it.

In my experience, force feeding a lizard will only yield positive results maybe in 10% of cases. Best to just try as many different types of feeders as possible, especially if you aren't experienced in force feeding. Good luck to you, hope it works out.

Not nearly as long as dubia. I started with about five adults a friend gave me and now about six months later I have a colony of a few hundred adults and many hundreds of babies.

Great story and beautiful animal. I know the feeling about Parsons, there's nothing like them. I've been waiting a long time myself. Good for you for getting a CB one. Best of luck with him and thanks for sharing with us. :)

I wouldn't feed the shrimp. I keep green banana roaches and they are a favorite of my chams and very easy to raise. I also raise bean beetles. They are great for small chameleons. Even for adult panthers they would make a good snack for variety. Blue bottle flies, silkworms, and hornworms are...

A lot of succesfull keepers use it regularly as their main supplement. You should be good to go. :) Good gut loading and feeder variety is still key to good all around nutrition though.

Happy 6th Hendershot! That's a good long life he's got. He certainly was a real looker in his prime. Still looks good too!

Thanks! They are a beautiful species.
