When you say ' in and out ' you mean still within the laying bin, as in she can climb away from the sand, yp to heat but back down again to dig if she wants ? thats the ideal.
Because this site is predominantly USA I think, while uz here over the pond are awake and raring to go with Q & A...
Hiya, just realised you are from London...< waves > I'm just down the M4/M5 :D
If you are talking daytime, yes just leave everything on.
If she is digging, yes leave her in there.
Yep they sure make you worry but I'm sure she will be fine, like human childbirth, nature has a way of telling...
Hiya...right don't panic for a start lol.
It will last until she is satisfied and completed her job. You already said that you are not letting her see you, and thats imperative.
She will dig maybe more than one tunnel, be prepared for that, then when she is happy will turn, lay and bury...
Just a thought from the other side of the pond. Out of interest with the norm feeders for hatchlings being FF and pinheads.....is there any reason why hatchling locusts can't be offered ? Aside the fact they hop to much lol.
I breed locusts and just had a few hundred hatch yesturday aswell...
Awww congratulations, so exciting, pacing the floor yet? See if, when the first one emerges you start talking funny to it....all high pitched and gentle '' hello little one, welcome to the world '' :D
Dez I know exactly what you mean. I was beside myself yesturday when mine started. Couldn't...
Oooooo how lovely - congratulations
It never fails to amaze me, that termite hill of careful laid eggs and looking at them wondering how the hell they all fitted in her lol.
I lost one egg in the early days, it was around the two week mark I finally gave up on it, it had gradually gone...
Laurie is right...nothing prepared me for this miracle, and even looking at others pics of new babies, including my own pics, they do not relay the tiny tiny perfection of these little mites. She is basking atm on a plastic vine that is tiny itself. At the highest point is only 3 inch of the...
Hi Tiff
Thanks for the compliments :)
There are potentially another 33. I have excellent homes for some already so am feeling quite comfortable and confident for their futures.
At the moment getting them all hatched safe and well is the important bit, then the critical first few weeks then I...
In answer to all you very kind people, yes the experience is awesome...nay...incredible. When I first checked this morning this one was dented and even though not pipped yet, the shell was stretched so thin I could see the baby completly clearly through it, all crunched up tight....all excited I...
Yes you need to prepare a laying bin, a deep one, about 12 inches. You need to do this because she is a female, nothing to do with mating or not.
Infertile eggs will not hatch into Chameleons.
You DO NOT just put female with a male. Any mating, when both are old enough AND receptive, needs...
It seems so yes.....having mastered the art of consistant temps and humidity it seems screens are becoming more and more popular over here.
It also seems a lot of breeders are using them too.............
This side of the pond is still very much wood favoured for arboreals, and I have to say...
Now THAT is an excellent question Harry....
I have never considered them before, living in the UK, as was very concerned about keeping correct temps despite many UK keepers say they can achieve good basking and ambient with them.
Their current homes are looking a bit weary now and I...
Hi, I am thinking of moving over to screen cages.
I wondered how different the LLL reptile cages ( USA ) Terry Thatcher and Reptibreeze are. Would appreciate any thoughts and opinions on them, individually and as a comparism.
Many thanks
I have just got a quote to bring 3 LLL cages to the uk and including shipping it's cheaper than me buying Reptibreeze here :eek:
I tried to get a quote from DIYcages, but couldn't find an email address or any International info
