Yes! I will most definitely do my best to hop back on the forums and share my awesome animals. I have some Abronia and Cophotis dumbara that I shoudl share pictures of soon, as they are arboreal and very chameleon-like in care. Maybe I should do a picture room tour.
My friend who is organizing...
A few months ago there was an import of wc merumontanus to Europe, despite Tanzania being closed. These animals are completely unrelated to any of the captive stock that has been in Europe the past few years. Likely they were smuggled to neighboring Kenya and exported as subadult xantholophus.
Thank you!!
Thank you Jeremy! For real. I hope to spice up the forums with chameleon diversity!
That's the goal! I've got an unrelated pair coming from the same guy in the next few months. I really love Bradypodion so starting a breeding project is only natural lol
Also, long time no see Chameleon Forums! It feels good to post again, but I've been busy with work and balancing a social life. Overall, all is good and I can't complain.
A couple weeks ago I got a Bradypodion thamnobates that was legally exported from South Africa. For those of you unaware of the circumstances surrounding South Africa, this is a HUGE deal. South Africa is practically an iron dome, so for animals to get out legally, you know things had to be done...
Went to the aquarium of the pacific the other day with my parents and brother and got to see their new frog exhibit! If you're in the Long Beach/ Los Angeles area, I highly recommend checking it out! They even had golden mantellas which are from Madagascar. The two images below are of the...
Thank you everyone!! I think I said this last year, but I hope to be more active on the forums this year. You guys are literally saving cham lives, so hopefully I be on to make your lives a little easier (and more fun ;)).
I used to use these millipedes as part of my clean up crew. They will eat leaf litter and chameleon poop just like any other springtail or isopod. Basically any small critter will fill the clean up crew role if the niche is open in your cage. If you want to help prevent an infestation or...
How cold is "cold"? Veiled chameleons are montane chameleons and can take cold nights. But to answer your question, I've used a variety of methods to lift up a fixture off the top of an enclosure. I've created an arm out of pvc that lifts the fixture up. Essentially it was a square frame with 4...
Sorry for your losses. It's always tough losing babies. Luckily this year I didn't incur any losses with my pygmies. All 5 Brookesia superciliaris are subadults now.
May I ask why you chose perlite to incubate the eggs? While perlite and vermiculite look similar, they act very differently. In...
You can put a slice of banana in with the babies and hope to draw in small flies while you wait for food. When this years Brookesia supercilaris hatched, they were also a surprise. Luckily I had some fungats gnats in there for them to eat. They went 3 or 4 days without me supplying vendor-bought...
Nice work! This is going to be a game-changer for many keepers. Now there's no excuse for raising up babies in groups. Aside from this being an absolutely amazing cage. I wonder if people would also be more willing to use these cages as displays at reptile expos. Small, easy to move. Bye bye...
Good to see you back on the forums!
Update on the babies: they are growing up nicely! I'll try to get more pics of them this week to share here on the forums. They're on 1/8th inch crickets now :)
It's called a reptibreeze because it's a breeze for crickets to escape. I've had crickets and even full-grown dubia roaches escape my reptibreezes before.
Sometimes the calcium dust that we use to powder the crickets can come off when dumping in the crickets. This creates a thin layer of dust over time that crickets can climb on and eventually get out. You could try rinsing out the feeder run and see if that helps.
Crickets usually don't jump...
If you have dragon ledges in your dragonstrand enclosure, you can secure the normal PVC feeder runs to the ledges by drilling a hole through the feeder run and then using thick jewelry wire to run through the hole and around the ledge. I got mine from full-throttle feeders. You will need a drill...
