Hasn't Cameroon been open this entire time for exports? Or did they shut down briefly? I remember talking with someone about a potential Cameroon export, but the minimum purchase price of animals was 10k. I'm pretty sure you could always get Trioceros cristatus, Rhampholeon spectrum, and...
Do you have any recent pics of the animal in question? Are the cheeks sunken in?
You mentioned a breeder. So I assume the animals are CB and not WC?
When I've had a pygmy not doing well, like mentioned above, I would get a small black deli cup and place maybe five crickets in it. Then I would...
I agree about regular member participation, but you have all spoiled me. I don't worry too much when I'm offline for a long period of time because I know you all are on here helping out every day. It's kind of unfair to the rest of you haha. I'll be on more - I'll make the time.
Pie sounds like...
Thank you, everyone!!!! I even surprised myself by logging on today. It’s a nice surprise to log in for the first time in a while and see that people still remember me. I’m hoping I’ll be online a lot more this year.
@MissSkittles, I too miss my wit when I’m not on here. The forums bring out...
I really wanted to import some flamboyant cuttlefish from Europe once. They look amazing and are tiny!
Many species are very territorial like chameleons and do best in individual tanks. They can stress easy and like added visual barriers to feel safe. Flamboyant cuttlefish also only live about...
I think the trick is to use a feeder in the feeder cup that moves around a lot, like crickets, to help capture their attention and prey drive. Once they start to realize that the cup holds food, they'll go for relatively stationary bugs out of habit (like dubia roaches). My jackson's chameleon...
All settled in! The 15 hour drive was looooong, but everyone made it to my new place safe and sound. There was one mountain pass that was forecasted to get snow, but thankfully the roads stayed clear the entire drive. I couldn't have asked for better weather considering it's already winter.
I'm moving to Washington state tomorrow and it's likely going to be a 13 hour drive...with chameleons...wish me luck! I'll package them up into a cooler (that's well-insulated) to keep them warm enough. They'll be up in the cabin of the U-Haul with me.
I originally thought fruit fly as well, but then they looked a little big. But based on your finger, I change my mind. They could be hydei fruit fly larvae. It's hard to tell size based on a photo/video. But it definitely could be fruit fly larvae. Though it might just be beneficial to remove...
I agree with @crosscutts. Looks like a larvae of a fly. You could probably ask the insect breeder if they are breeding any type of fly like blue bottle or green bottle flies. I would definitely let the breeder know, I'm sure they can help identify what the larvae belong to.
They are both female. The hemipenal bulge would be much more apparent if it were male, leading to an overall thicker tail. Both of these animals have a thin tail after the cloaca. There is more uniformity in a male's tail. Their won't be a dip in the tail after the cloaca, but rather a bulge...
The story behind my username is quite complicated and long. But long story short, a man with the last name "Mendez" met a woman. They had a child and passed that family name down to him. That kid grew up liking chameleons and created a chameleon forums account. And since this kid lacks wit or...
