If you go to advanced keepers.... you will find a section on Mellers, on this forum, that will have a ton of information and the ID of many who might have your Meller's brothers and sisters. Check out FL Chameleons to see if that is the guy you got yours from. If so, you have a good start...

Go Nemo! Good luck to the last Melleri out (ha).

That is a very nice looking Melleri. How long did you have "him"?

I am really sorry. I have a rescued Melleri too. I know you do everything you can and even then, they sometimes have been through so much, they just dont make it. As you know they get called the 90 day chameleon, and so I will not get my hopes up until I reach the November, that is when I...

WC and Roaches I rescued an adult WC Melleri about a month ago. It had been in the States for about a month. It had been only given crickets during that time. I started putting an adult male roach in the feeding bucket along with four or five adult crickets. The Melleri would eat all the...

Come here wench! Wench, I show you who is a wench! Ha. Great stuff. He really looks black and white, didnt know that was what he goes with looking for a date. Thanks for posting.

Good memory. Yep, that was me. That was indeed the couple that came back to buy the other panther. You told him exactly the right info. You know, I think next time I am in that situation, I am going to just give them the link to this Forum. There is so much info here, and so many people...

You got the best one. I think you did get the best deal he had going at the time. I am sure he would have been gone if you did not buy him when you did. If I see you at the Sac show, I will make sure to say "Hi". I was standing behind you to the left when you purchased your good looking boy...

I think I saw you buy it! You are right, there were three cages, with the babies in the first cage to the left, looking at the display. I saw one of those get purchased. Jeff, reached in and did a full hand grab of the baby, and put it into a brown paper bag (ha). As I recall, it was the...

He had some very nice Panthers. I am sure you got something really nice, as he had a dozen very good looking males on display for sale. In 30 minutes I watched 3 get purchased. He seemed surprised at the attention! He had one purchased in the first 30 minutes, so that made 4 gone in the...

Yes, and no.... Yes, I went to see if this show would be any bigger or for that matter, better, then what it used to be. And, it was (yea). I hope all the vendors make enough money to come back again next year. There was certainly A LOT of people there. Did not buy anything, just reported...

My best guess I too was surprised by the "lack" of Veils at the show. Being the best starter Chameleon, you would have thought there would have been a ton of them. Reptile Depo had two adult Mellers, and the best priced baby Panthers that looked about 2 to 3 months old. LLL had the most...

Jealous Every picture you post of Pat, is so fantastic. Make me jealous.

Me too.... What was there, and what did you bring home!

Interesting question. You know, I have never really thought about this. I think the above observations must all be true to some extent. We all know that temp plays a big role as well. The temp range of the soil has to be an issue. That would explain why some Chameleons hatch out in shorter...

Wild Jacksons 1985, went to get a lizard, came home with a male Jackson. That started it all. Learned a lot from him. When he died, most likely from heat exposure, I went to the Veils and they trived like rabbits. They reminded me of that Star Trek show with those little furry things. You...

Brad is right. I used those big plastic buckets you can almost see through. The female would dig until she hit bottom, normally next to a side. Lay, get out and close. Sometimes two chambers. You could see the eggs through the plastic side where they leave them. I used a 8 inch of a damp...

Roach food.... I am always amazed how much they eat. I feed mine carrots, and a couple different types of dry foods, mostly breakfeast stuff. It must be working, they are growing and the baby roaches come out and eat too. I keep the male population down, and that seems to actually increase...

I too remember.... I still have most of my old issues of CIN. I still look at them. When I got a couple of Deremensis, I had the old CIN copy on them. For fun, for those who have them, look back at the for sale section in the back! Look at the Chameleons that were for sale back then, and at...

Great info. Thanks, Mike. I have never seen such a breakdown in size before. How long have you been incubating the Deremensis eggs? My male gets dark lips around the female, but she only spots up at this point at his advances. That stops him. Tom
