while there are supposedly feral pops of veilds in s fl that doesn't mean that it is an IDEAL enviornment for them. plus not every one has veilds and panthers (I have 8 jax, 1 veild). like i said before my philosophy is that these are my pets - i'm not willing to experiment on them. a supervised...

general discussion "tampa bay/st. pete owners" can't find the 2nd thread but it was essentially the same discussion

we fl keepers have recently discussed this on 2 diff threads. remember - heat kills and can cause brain damage. :(

all of mine live indoors year round. however i rotate them thru an outside cage w/a dripper. when they are outside is it for up to 14 hours so they get good uv light and lots of water. i wouldn't risk keeping them outside on a permanent basis. the fl heat is too much, even in the shade. plus...

they are very cute! i had the same thing happen to me! i had 10 and still have 10 so it is possible to keep them alive. one of my big suggestions (having raised lots of pets and a couple of kids) is to let them eat as much as they want - always leaving a little extra. i just can't believe...

i keep my jax in separate cages w/blinders for the cage next to them (although they can probably see each other across the room, depending on the angle of the cage). i have 8 jax, 1 veild my understanding is that they MUST be separate. i've come to agree w/that opinion.

is it worth the risk? feral populations may survive. good for them. i wouldn't risk my pets - i am too emotionally attached to them all. i don't consider the space needed in my house to be a problem. i have to run the a/c anyway for my furry and feathered pets. like i said before... the...

i do the same as julirs. i conserve energy so the a/c is never lower than 75. i rotate my 9 chams thru an outdoor cage - approximately 1 per day where they are in full sun w/ a dripper on them to cool off and hydrate. humidity never seems to be very low in my house. we are growing mold just...

not to duplicate what julirs said but even in central fl, where i live, it is too hot to keep the chams outside - even in the shade. i lived in miami for 10 yrs and there are several current forum members down in s. fl. i can't imagine that any of them have them outside b/c the temps are too...

wow! they sure are cute:D good luck w/them!

you need to give the exact type of uv bulb - including the shape of the bulb(s), brand name, etc

it is a northern curly tailed lizard. currently decimating the native lizards in s. fl. google (or what ever your favorite search engine is) 'northern curly tailed lizard' and then look for a non-personal website to get good info. we tried to catch one for about 1/2 hour and just...

the pic is very small - but it looks like one of the new invasive spp of lizards that are common in the miami/broward/PB area. i'll try to find out - do you remember how big it seemed when you found it (smaller than a foot, bigger than a foot or some other type of sizing would help)
