When you saw the females sticking their ovipositors into the ground, they were laying eggs. It usually takes about 9-10 days for them to hatch at a temperature of about 85-90F. But lower temperatures will substantially increase the hatch time. So don't give up, you will have pinheads very...

One simple question I've got for you guys is how many thermometer's is typical to have in an enclosure? I know that the basking area should be a higher temp than the rest of the cage so it would seem to me that you would need at least two thermometers? You can get thermometers at department...

No, they are brothers, but not the same chameleon.

Good deal. It is well worth the extra money spent.

Here is one I made about a year and a half ago. It worked fine as far as getting the chameleons watered, but don't expect a fine mist or the ability to supply water to more than about 4 cages max. I spent about $60-70 on the whole thing, and honestly, it's worth it to just spend the extra...

Not homemade Mistking- Homemade Dribbleking :). Sorry, just kiddin' man. I made the same exact thing for my chameleons last year when I first got back into this. It worked fine as far as getting the chameleons watered, but as far as creating a mist like an Aquazamp or a Mistking, those pond...

Well, something you may keep in mind is that chameleons in the wild harbor parasites inevitably; it's just nature. But at the same time, a parasite's goal is to live somewhat in balance with it's host. It wouldn't really make sense in nature's scheme of things for it to 'crush, kill and...

I raised a brood of xantholophus babies on tiny mealworms for the first 1-2 months and had no problems whatsoever. Some will tell you not to use mealworms as anything other than a treat which I think is wise because they aren't the most nutritionaly sound feeders, but I think the impaction...

Here is a comparison picture. The small one in this picture is just about 3-5 days old, the larger one is about 11 weeks old based on when the babies clutch had just hatched (July, bigger girl in May). The bigger girl is about 4 or 5 inches stretched out. I had a customer buy a Veiled from me...

I've read that they can retain sperm and I've even heard that they can have more than one brood developing within them at once- Jump in and clarify this anytime Mr. Chris Anderson. They gestate anywhere from 5-9 months depending on temperatures and diet.

Thanks everyone. He has grown up so quick. The older I get, the quicker time seems to fly by. It seems like just yesterday when they were tiny babies.

That is a xantholophus. Don't use a substrate. As far as basking lamp, Jacksons do enjoy cooler temperatures being a mountain chameleon, but I would include one with a very low wattage (40watt) incandescent bulb. Keep it positioned only on a corner of the cage (check out the video below)...

Dig!!!! :D Just gently start scraping back earth until you find them.

It actually wont work. It can't handle the amount of PSI a Mistking will produce, and it will blow it out. You wouldn't want to come home from work or school to a Mistking blasting water all over your floor!! :D I have seen some tubing at Lowe's where you find the Rainbird stuff and the vinyl...

Well, today is my Jacksons chameleons' birthday. I have enjoyed updating this thread periodicaly to chart my favorite males growth over the past year. It's been amazing to watch the development over the months. So I guess this will be my last update for this thread. It's been fun and I plan...

Awesome!!!

Them horns are starting to grow out! Looking good Tiff. Glad he's feeding better for you now.

Nope. I would be 'Jdog72' Ha Ha!!!

Get some wheat bran or wheat flake cereal. Crush the cereal or preferably, just use the wheat bran, but either one works well. Fill a plastic bin about an inch deep and throw the beetles in. If they are kept at about 80-85F they'll lay eggs in this wheat substrate. There are is really no...
