try silk larvae (silk 'worms'). they don't jump, don't smell and wiggle around so that they catch the chams attention. i'm under the impressions that they are more nutritious too. my almost 4 mo olds love them (and they don't escape out of the screen no matter what the size). i get mine from...

i breed silks and it is so easy - but requires daily feeding of the larvae. the great thing is that they are silent, don't smell (although cooking their food does) and they don't have the 'gross' factor that so many bugs do. i am starting to breed crickets and i will NEVER breed or use roaches...

good for you to take in a rescued animal. you have a big heart:D

jackson's info http://www.hear.org/AlienSpeciesInHawaii/waringreports/chameleon.htm you might be interested in the above article. jackson's do fine in temps as high as 85 degrees but anything b/w 60-80 is suppose to be ok. a drop at night is necessary but doesn't need to be huge. i didn't...

for the fruit flies - try releasing about 5 at a time - near his face but not too near. to keep from accidentally emptying the entire tube at one time gently tap the bottom of the tube on a flat surface. this causes the flies to fall to the bottom. then you can open the top and gently shake out...

i have 2 flexariums. originally i thought they were great - easy to assemble, not too expensive and so light weight. however, i no longer like them. the zippers are not smooth - leading to shaking the entire thing every time i open/close it - upsetting my chams. also, b/c it is so flimsy i don't...

2 more things 1) i (gently) suggest that you get the baby off the paper towel and onto/into his plant so that he can hide and not worry about being eaten by a predator while he feels sick. this should decrease his stress and is more 'natural' for him. if he can't hold on to the plant then...

i've got a couple of things: 1) what size crix are you feeding? my 3 mos olds eat 1/8 - 1/4 inch crix. if they are bigger then the problem could easily be impaction. just b/c they fit it into their mouth doesn't mean they can digest that huge amount. i also still give my babies fruit flies -...

the babies are just now 3 months old; today in fact(i may have mistakenly said 4 months earlier). i have been concerned about their growth since their birth because it was unexpected and i've never had a reptile before. they seem small to me too - but i don't quite know what else to do...

so handsome:D

pictures from today. the best is very small but i think the girl is in the fore ground and her brother in the back ground. baby on the green cup is a girl i think but all of the babies have bumps (3 in the correct places) on their faces

that is good information - but never having actually seen a boy jackson's between the legs i can't tell:eek: plus the babies are so darn tiny and they don't stay still for longer than about 1 second. i think i will keep my guess by looking at the bumps on their faces :) still working at...

justin - i wait w/anticipation as to your reply. i'm going on a cham shopping spree and have wanted a scale for a while. :p

so....you haven't got it yet to check it out? :confused:

did you get your scale? do you like it? i am thinking of getting the bird one to start weighing my babies but i want to know if it is any good or if there are modifications that need to be made. thanks:)

took a close up of what i think is a boy and a girl together - once the husband gets home i will hopefully have the pics up.

yeah, the whole picture thing...i need help from my husband - i have loads but can't seem to get them up - this can be my project for tomorrow. the mommy has 3 bumps - like beauty marks:D

the person i got the mommy from didn't give me much information - so i have no idea, but assume that the parents are xanth. what i'm curious about is whether i indeed have 4 girls (fingers crossed) or if all of them are boys. i haven't found any info about typical boy/girl ratios in jackson's...

should be interesting to hear what others have to say. i have 10 babies and am pretty sure 4 are girls/6 are boys. girls are smaller, darker and have little bumps in place of horns. the 6 boys are bigger, are more patterned and have 3 well defined, big bumps on their head. i could be wrong...

not to break this beautiful train of thought you've all created but i have to say that a sleeping human baby is my favorite. HOWEVER, i've been a furry animal fanatic all my life but since i got kamellia i've found a new passion and a new cause that occupies a large portion of my life each day...
