Thank you all for the compliments, can't wait for it to fill in a bit more. It is currently vacant. I may take out the manzanita logs and put in some perches for pygmies, but I've also thought about Tomato frogs or Dart frogs.
Jeremy, there are lots of Lychee groves around here and the mature...
I was happy to have the opportunity to try out this product. The building process (if you could even call it that) was extremely easy, and makes creating a very natural looking terrarium effortless. The planting in separate pots allows for seedlings, and other plants that would eventually get...
My only advice is to use pre-killed/frozen food over live as often as possible. Monitors fed a live diet are normally more food aggressive and hand aggressive. We have a "puppy dog" savannah at work and one that is extremely wild. It all boiled down to what their previous owners fed them...with...
Very true, especially when they're raised from such a young age and they "imprint" on humans. I didn't even realize that you had avian experience and then I looked at your avatar and said a big "DUH!" to myself. :p
Bradypodion are known as Dwarf chameleons, they are not pygmy leaf chameleons like Brookesia, Rieppeleon, and Rhampholeon. But I do agree with you. Perhaps you could try a smaller Trioceros as well.
She's only a year old so her speech is very choppy, but she does try! But some of the older ones I've seen speak almost perfectly. Here's a video of her taking a bath.
I'm not sure where you're located, but the only deceiving insects that come to mind in regards to the color rule are lubber grasshopper nymphs. They are black but eat a variety of toxic plants and secrete a toxic bubbly foam when threatened. Stay away from catterpillars, and hairy insects. If...
Unless an insect is toxic and is adapted to eat a certain toxic plant they will not eat a toxic plant, or a plant that will make them toxic. If an insect is toxic its toxic and vice versa, it can not be made toxic.
Keeping the insects for a few days just depletes whatever nutrients they had to begin with. Parasites can be found in any insect including store bought ones. Your chameleons will really benefit from eating fresh wild insects.
