You really need separate enclosures, especially since she's so much younger than your male. Of course they are doing fine now because they are both young. But your male will be ready to breed soon, and she won't. He's going to harass her and probably succeed at breeding with her way before she's...

I wish I could go. I have to work :mad:

Thanks! I'm actually going to post another thread about crested geckos soon, so look out for it. I have a few specific questions and I want to post a separate thread about them because I know a lot of other forum members have cresties, and I want to get as many opinions as possible. Thanks...

Welcome! Your baby is adorable. I also have a female veiled, along with a male veiled and a male ambilobe panther. You'll find that chams are a very addicting hobby. :)

So in an ironic twist of fate, that was my 200th post. That feels really weird for me, because I'm on the forums ALL. THE. TIME. But I guess I spend a lot more time just reading than actually posting.

Hello, welcome to the forums. :) It sounds like you are making every effort to do everything right, so I think your boy will be just fine. Personally, I'd still use the calcium with D3 every day until the plain calcium arrives, but dust very lightly. Do you want to fill out the "How to...

Hahaha, agreed :D

You're welcome, and good luck! Let us know what happens after you check out the babies tomorrow :)

I know that... Still not a good idea to breed as soon as she's sexually mature. It's like 12-year-old human girls giving birth. They are physically capable, but that doesn't mean their bodies are ready for it. Edit: Now that I reread my last post, I see that I did not clearly state that I know...

Don't depend on him buying her back if you end up not being able to keep her... He may or may not follow through. You definitely need to be sure you can keep her properly before purchasing another cham. She will need her own cage, because the male will most likely harass her to mate before she's...

Can you post a picture of her enclosure? It could also be that she doesn't have enough foliage to feel safe and secure. Welcome to the forums, btw. This is a great place to learn about chameleons. :)

*EDIT* I agree with most of what Laurie said. Please put her back into her screen cage, as she needs the air circulation that an aquarium cannot provide. Please take out the substrate and feed her more like 12-18 crickets per day. She also needs plain calcium without D3 every day - use the...

Yes, exactly. It's ridiculous.

You should read this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/some-thoughts-breeding-2612/ I'm not in any way trying to discourage you from breeding, but I think it's important for everyone thinking about breeding to have an idea of what they're in for. That being said, I still plan to do...

Yes, I HATE that. Customers tell me that about all kind of things. I've heard that about turtles, goldfish, and even chameleons so far! It's so infuriating.

Hello, welcome to the forums! Your cage looks great. Did you build it? Excellent job with the foliage and vines. I do have a question about the top - if it's made of wood, how are you ensuring that it won't catch on fire from the heat light? Your cham is a cute little guy =)

Thank you - that is exactly what I needed to know. The way I responded to those particular customers was by saying that in some retiles it takes longer to affect them, but it will. That was all I said because I didn't know anything more specific to tell them. But now I do, and I will be armed...

I have a few thoughts, but first and foremost, do you have an egg-laying bin set up for her? Female chameleons will usually develop and lay eggs regardless of whether they ever even see a male. They have very specific needs related to laying eggs as well, like more calcium supplementation and a...

I like comparisons to human ethnicities and dog breeds. Great examples :)

You're right, but this isn't breeding different species. There is a difference between species and locale. Nosy faly, nosy mitsio, ambilobe, ambanja, etc. are just different locales of the same species.
