I have sexed all my guys out of the egg with 100% accuracy (knock on wood). Sometimes I give them a day or two but usually I sex them as I remove them from the incubator. There are kind of two 'dips' at the base of the tail for females, whereas males do not have that deep of a dip and...

The link you gave me to Repashy's website talks about the levels he found beneficial to Rhacodactylus. These are species that are not even kept under UVB at all and have completely different diets and thus digestive systems than chameleons. I have seen crested geckos go through Hell and back...

Repashy sells a Calcium NO D. There are many brands. Minerall-0, Zoo Med, etc.

Here is our 7 page discussion on Calcium PLUS in case you missed it https://www.chameleonforums.com/calcium-plus-how-often-90525/ Feel free to contribute to the conversation if you have something to add. It's great stuff, but people are using it every day (that's the directions), and that...

Don't use it every feeding like it states on the directions. Use calcium most feedings and the calcium plus once to twice a week. I would use a multivitamin once or twice a month in place of the calcium plus as well. I and others on the forum have had issues and fatalities from overdoing it...

Mix in sand with the peat moss. I have found none of my girls ever dug in peat moss, then one day I added 50% sand to the mixture and within 3 hours most that were heavily gravid started to dig. It 'tunnels' easier than peat does. Also, I have had girls go months looking like they were...

Mine usually hatch in exactly 7 months every time when kept between 68-78F. I am trying the diapause thing with my 2 current Mitsio clutches.....the first 4 weeks at 74-82, 6-8 weeks at 64-74, and then back to 74-82 until they hatch......which should be a total of 6 months.... The winter...

Dunno where you get your info but everything you've said is wrong. Soda is a diuretic, it's not because they use distilled water. There are usually half a million violations to clean water rights in the USA in a year and nothing has to be done about it. Most municipalities do not have the...

I don't know the actual measurement and concentration that should be in their blood, I do know that natural exposure to UVB regulates itself and the body knows when to produce it and when to stop. That is to say, once the tank is full of D3 the body does not keep trying to fill it past full...

I kept a female veiled healthy and happy for 8 years with normal house UV lights (no UVB) and Rep Cal once to twice a month. This was under the recommendation of an old friend who got me into the cham hobby who kept & bred over a dozen different species this way......he thought UVB lights were...

From my understanding, vitamin A takes precedence over vitamin D3 for absorption in the gut. IMO they should never be given at the same time. I am going to go back to using calcium very lightly at every feeding, and I'm going to experiment using the Calcium PLUS and/or the Supervite with...

I agree Perry there is way too much unnecessary D3 in this supplement (and others) to be recommended being used every day. My concern is that when you give any living creature a certain combination of vitamins, the receptors in the gut that absorb them will choose one over the other, creating...

My guys have not had much outdoor exposure this year as the weather has been either stormy or WAY too hot and we only have 2 months of cham weather a year until it's too cold. I use 5.0 and 10.0 bulbs, I have a UVB meter and I keep them all between 35-80 depending if they are male, female...

I should also add that for the first 6-7 months of using Repashy I was very impressed with how well my chams were doing, I had one that never did well but started to thrive, how much more they ate, their breeding and egglaying was flawless, everything went up up up and now seems to be crashing...

I feel like I've been overdoing the Repashy Calcium PLUS.....(edit) here are my more in depth thoughts on the matter https://www.chameleonforums.com/calcium-plus-how-often-90525/index2.html#post846991 When it first came out here about a full year ago now, I was under the influence that it was...

That's very 'Manifest Destiny' of you. Where you live, that is a 10/10 score for irresponsibility IMO (due to the fact you want to keep a female as well). Honestly to me this sounds like you're trollin, but I realize there really are people out there like you. How you feel is one thing...

I have never followed that rule and I've never had an animal choke in 15 years. I've had them throw up from eating too much at once! :) but never choke. When you watch lizards eat things in the wild, they go for things sometimes half the size of their own BODY. Yes there is a choking...

Don't those have sharp spikes????

Here are some pics:

CANADA ONLY Was going to holdback this guy but I spent too much money at a family reunion last weekend and could use the cash lol. About 4 and a half months old. Would prefer pickup in Kamloops, but shipping with Air Canada can be arranged for $125. Can deliver to Vernon, Kelowna...
