ohh , he is down brumating, hes not over the rainbow bridge

Im not having much luck finding it. It was an article published around 2017 that i read in 2019 after the tegus 2nd brumation. It had to do with forced brumation of captive tegus and how it was not triggered by temperature changes. On a side note, Lola went down the beginning of august. And...

Looks full grown. So could be any age past 9 months. And as others stated. Keep him hydrated. Feed once a day. Id clean up poop very quickly, at least daily. You hope he was just neglected and parasite free. But certain parasites are a pain to remove once introduced, and most are spread...

This is why it is hard interacting with you. I did not say anything negative about you. I did not write rows and rows criticising you or calling you out. I even agreed with all the articles including the ghost/donut that i explained a few posts down (aka plain calcium donuts, just not water...

You are talking to a community that relies heavily on roaches. Your roach article ended with: Do not believe feeding roaches is a good idea. It is not. It is a terrible idea — one that leads to terrible pain, suffering, and guaranteed death. You did not advise an alternative, or link to one of...

They tried to apply this logic in tegu land. The experiment was those that hibernate/brumate there animals for 6-8 months a year, vs those (i assume more tropical areas) that never put their animals down. At the end of the study no correlation was found. So it wasnt like you get a fixed...

I didnt even know they had sheets of glass 1/2-3/4" thick. The local places act like im nuts when i start asking for 1/4". onedayglass used to sell 1/2". I recall it was $40 a square foot though.

Contrary to popular belief, chameleons are fine "cold" as long as the basking area gets to at least 75. So it can be 45 air temp in the morning and still be fine if its a "sunny day". I would not use a space heater, again they are fine with the room temp of 55-60. Currently in Madagascar this...

I would not want to encourage screen climbing behavior in adults. So i would want to figure out a setup that gets him onto a branch. I am evil and try to get them to "lateral bask" by aiming the hot spot off the bulb off center to the branch. So on the branch enough to attract cham, but then...

Looks normal to me. Concave head fat pads, and a shapley (non tube) tail. And he is basking so yea hes gonna be spread out.

Its a lot harder to look up a mushroom's skirt than you would think. Also got spider photobombed.

Now im 100% down with the white mulch fungus. But i got no less than three kinds of mushrooms running around now. Im not sure if they are fine, edible, or going to cause an issue.

(warning, n00bs should not be poking even soft tips "into" the eyes, leave it to the professionals) Personally i would try some people saline eyeball wash and a q-tip etc. He may just have a wee bit of shed stuck, which is normally the case. Sometimes they can get it out themselves by having...

Petr is very black and white on "nuanced" subjects. I can answer your two questions "animals" can not store protein. If its got 4 legs, then the only source of protein is the free floating amino acid pool that is "in the organs". Its not much, maybe a months supply during a starvation event...

Meh. Not really digging the final verdicts. It boils down to "dont bring up a problem if you dont present a solution". "dont feed your cham commercial insects, one that leads to terrible pain, suffering, and guaranteed death." Welp guess ill start breeding Madagascar bees or something...

They can be setup exactly the same. Males do need a bigger cage for either of them. The only thing, which i dont recommend, is panthers wont nom nom on the plants nearly as much as the veileds, so you can get away with some prettier, but not as tummy approved, plants. but again they can all...

Ill add i dont go by head pads, i go by tail meat. If you have a center line, your cham is perfect. If you have a sausage tail, you have a fatty. If you have two lines or can see individual vertebrae, they are underweight.

Its ok. I have a Mr. Lola...
