Ha ha, agree! I hate soap opera's... but this ones turning out to be a cracker. :D Can't stop watching. Lol!
Good luck to all involved with the project, really hope it works out.
Yeah she's really lovely Mike. Not surprised she's your favourite.
Something really endearing about female chams i think. What sort of temperament has she? I find my male fairly easy going.
If only i could find one like her myself.
Are you sure they are actually mating & not wrestling? From what i have read/been told by experts on here, & other forums. Is that long tail is male. In the pics you posted in the pygmy section, the first (top) pic almost certainly looks male, even to my inexperienced eye. You can clearly see...
Agree!
I was quite surprised too, as i thought they (& still do) looked fantastic for newly imported chameleons. The male oshaughnessyi is absolutely beautiful & my favourite. Though would be happy to keep any of them.
Hi Mike.
Only know about what i have added as my clean up crew, ie spring tails, some wood lice & a few earth worms too. But as i get some of my soil from the local forest, could contain other critters.
Hi Pete.
I place several branches in both vertical & horizontal positions. And in high, low & mid levels of enclosure. Basically so they can access all areas of the enclosure Place them so that they have good access to both basking & uv lights (without being able to come into contact with the...
Thanks very much for the info/pics Chase (& Luis ;)). Agree with Mike, regards the bulge & him being male. Can really see it more clearly in person.
It's funny because this weekend, when i was in his enclosure. He came walking down a branch & onto my hand (has done this a couple of times...
Most likely the fact that they have not had a night time & so no proper rest, is what has been stressing them. If they are eating & drinking & are active, & have total darkness at night now, they should now be ok. I have kept veileds down into the 40f mark at night, during the colder months...
Yes agree, excellent information there. What forums like this should be all about. :D
Going to save this in my favourites, for when i eventually find a nice female j. jacksoni for my male. Hopefully i'll one day need it.
Thanks for sharing.
Totally agree, i also get all my branches from outside. Especially like to use oak & buddleia, for the rough texture they have. I just give mine a hose down with tap water. But i'm also careful where i collect them from.
Yeah my wife had something similar, turned out to be cyst's.
I know it's hard not to worry, but keep positive. Have my fingers crossed for ya, that's its nothing serious. x
Only advice i can offer, is to get rid of those canes in his enclosure. They are slippery & hard for a chameleon to grip & could possibly have been why he fell.
I watched a panther chameleon in a shop a few months back, trying to climb up a vertical one. It was proper stressing him out, not...
Lol! :D Made me laugh that Mike.
Very nice Chase. Agree with Mike regards the male, he looks fantastic.
Regards the blue bottles, i say give em a go. Judging by the size of your girl friends hand, i'd say they should manage them ok. If you find a few larger ones, then just give em to...
