She knows where the bin is, so I would expect her to utilize it when she's ready. She may decide to nest in one of her nice, big plant pots instead. If the soil's top layer of leaves is disturbed but perfectly flattened earth is exposed, you'll know. She will choose the perfect soil moisture for...

My little ones from Mike have made the transition from houseflies as staple to crix again... and they are eating 1/2"+ size. Maybe your crix are too tiny to be enticing? Mine are definitely more interested in larger game. Also, it seems that the gutload can make crix unappetizing. I use fresh...

That is total length for adults. So if your melleri is 10+13, it's a 23" adult, and a good size. Growth spurt unlikely at such a mature size. However, the color it is displaying is the hormone shift color (black and white) males and females wear for part of the annual cycle. Has your...

That email is no good. Perhaps this individual was anticipating a backlash...? I'd rather think earthlink shut him down due to complaints. Mailer-daemon said: Permanent error Remote host said: 550 [email protected] User account is unavailable One of my Senegal pix is displayed on his...

It is also worth noting that the "customer testimonial", a Dave Friant of NJ, is also selling/spamming for the same web site full o' stolen content elsewhere: http://dowos.com/product.asp?PID=1124 edit: sorry that didn't make sense- google dave or david friants and you get back persons who...

This looks just like the fungal I fought in two WC melleri over a year ago. See the Medical page of the MD for more info on treatment, I'm pressed for time now, heading back out to the studio. It does require oral antifungal meds when it gets that progressed. It is a very serious infection.

Egg It's been over 30 days now, and Nemo the single egg is still hanging in there. I had to replace the lid to that box because it had cracked and was letting moisture escape. I added a wee bit of water, hopefully just the right amount. Month 2, if it's fertile, will show some slight...

A hair over a month later, Big Red (paint dot ID, not its name) is now 22g! These things are awesome. The only down side is the two Reds (from #3 female) hate me. Totally, absolutely want to rip my arms off. I weigh them once a week, and today was a rare day that neither one went into hissy...

Debbie, I am so sorry, I know he was a trooper. WCs can truly be a veterinary grab-bag of troubles. The sudden weight loss could be so many things. I know you had his fecal checked and it was clean, but dropping weight almost overnight makes me think of coccidia. If he was drinking like...

This one is my fave now because it allows me to take its pic. Check out the popping yellows on its face! They are electric in person, but my monitor washes the colors down.

eggs All went moldy.... ... except ONE. Not holding my breath for it, though. Better luck this year to my friends in melleri!

I wonder if it is the same melleri that was on cl in June in Dallas FW? At that time, the owner decided to give it another try, maybe he changed his mind?

How long is the chameleon in question? If a small chameleon, you could set up a free range with bushy live plants inside one of those mini-kiddie pools or even a black "pond liner" tub. The chameleon is going to rub everything it meets now, the pattern is there, and it's hard to get past...

Hmmm... well, I guess I better inform my friend that her vet was sorely mistaken. Yikes! She said they had to complete a lifecycle in the mosquito, not directly transmit.

The dark on the eye and forehead looks like the discoloration that occurs right before or during death. I call it the "black blush". It varies in body location by individual, and even color by species. Sometimes, it briefly appears when a cham is very, very sick, and disappears when it begins...

That's a trick question- a male in courtship colors IS courting anyone who can see him. lol He might as well wear a sign saying, "Hellooooooo ladies!" You know how Chaucer's mouth was open at first? Grace used to shoot Ferris in the face while wearing that mild green. Sometimes, she'd just...

I am seeing it photo by photo in the album instead, starting at the #19 pic and going backwards. Foot to the face! Always a dependable melleri dominance gesture. Rostrum punch! Ouch! Everybody onto the vine, move along. Poor bystander Merlin. Chaucer just made certain he got the...

It's fighting my computer over an Adobe 9 update! I can't view yet... arghhh! Does Guin look like the angry female in my photo on the receptive colors thread?

The skin temp of basking chameleons is more than adequate to attract a mosquito. I personally batted a mosquito trying to puncture a melleri once when I first moved here, and had two basking loose. Very small chams, which don't have the heat retention of the big species, probably are off the...

A more direct answer to your question, from 2005: "Reptiles are known to be infected with several mosquito-borne viruses. Western equine encephalomyelitis virus (Family Togaviridae) was isolated from blood and found to overwinter in garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.; Thomas and Eklund, 1962...
