Thanks, Kat, I do believe that Rambo is a blue phase Melleri. Okashi looks like he's significantly bigger than Renegade, though they are possibly brothers ;)
It is NOT recommended to get the fountain that you speak of, due to increased bacterial growth. A drip system and misting a few times of day should suffice! Also I would recommend, if you haven't already (it's hard to tell in the pic), elevating the cage off of the floor to allow for better...
The cold weather is actually nice for a change. I'm here in central, central FL (Lake Wales) and the past few nights is has been below freezing (in the 20's) with ice on the windshield in the morning...and then increases to the mid to high 50's to 60's during the day. What's it like in HI...
I would recommend taking them out of the dirt, and getting them in to the sterile environment of vermiculite in a tuperware. Then I would put them in a dark dry place that stays around room temp, until it arrives.
I have used the croton successfully in my cages. The only problems I have noticed is that they require moderate to bright light, so they can't be lost in the jungle;) The Ficus Elastica I have also tried but due to the sap, that was previously mentioned, I have been weary about having it...
A 3mo old has significantly greater chances of surviving the transition opposed to the 3wk old regardless of the keepers qualifications. From my experiences, which may not be as extensive compared to some people on this forum, I wouldn't recommend a chameleon purchase under 3mo. to anyone...
Great looking pictures Juli. Fischer IS such a cutie, I hope that some day soon he finds a nice girl friend ;) Major is getting BIG too in the juvenile stage, like our little CH Melleri Rennigade, they are both well on their way to growing a full sized horn. From what I hear some CH develop it...
Hello, I don't really know too much about the melleri virus, though I do keep my melleri in the same room as panthers successfully (different cages)! The large "male" actually free roams in this room :D
Thanks Dave, AWESOME resource! Right in the nick of time. Just got the slides and covers in the mail so tomorrow will be the day I'll be trying to do some of the floats for the first time.
All of the subspices of Jacksons confuse me sometimes;) I thought their were three though:
Jacksonii, Merumonta, and Xanthologhus.
Your Jacksons babies are sooo Adorable, to me they favor Melleri babies a bit. I suppose because they are both Triceros. The Jacksons breeders look nice too, I...
What are your basking temps like? If they have decreased due to the weather, I could recommend upping the wattage. Maybe he's not warming up enough to become appropriately active. I'm assuming he is on the same regular supplementing schedule? Does he still eat regularly? Has the humidity...
Once your chameleon has become fully grown, it is recommended to start feeding abut the same amount every other day to keep up their appetite and to decrease hunger strikes. One way to judge if it's almost time for decreased feedings is to measure the time between the sheds. If his sheds are...
Todd,
What an excellent surprise 2-4-1!! They are both cuties. Nice pic of Mr. Maean 2.
Salvador sure is a looker and is coming along VERY nicely. Can't wait to possibly meet them all one day in person :D
NP, I appreciate your nice words about my site. Good luck with yours, I'd be interested to see some pictures of the Jacksons some time soon. What local are they?
