Yeah ... I kind of jump back and forth between fish forums for a while and then reptile forums. It's too hard to keep up with all of them at once! LOL
Here's some pics of my latest fish ...

I'm not sure which eggs your talking about as...
Well I would give her a back rub if she'd let me!!! LOL
Yup ... she got a silkworm and some crickets and watered a couple times within a few hours. I'm always worried about the female after she does all that work. At least she did it in 2 days not like the other female who took 7 DAYS and...
I don't think I'll be shipping the babies however I am going to try to sell them. Of course I'll have to wait until they hatch and then make sure that they are eating well and are healthy for a few months before they will even be up for sale.
Dyesub Dave. :D
Well if they're 2 feet I'd say that's including the tail if it's stretched out straight. The tail is at least as long as their body if not longer.
Dyesub Dave. :D
OK ... So I did the count and there was a WHOPPING 59 eggs!! However 2 of them were caved in a bit. And they seemed really small but that may be just from checking the others that I've had since October.
I put them all in plastic containers with the appropriate substrate and poked some...
Hey everybody,
I've been trying to breed my other female with my 5 yr. old male as he seems to be slowing down a bit so I wanted to make sure I had some offspring from him before something happened.
She started digging a couple of days ago and has just finished covering up the hole. I...
Well the old gaffer still isn't eating much. He won't eat crickets at all. He'll occasionally eat a grape half or two. I don't always have silkworms on hand but when I do he doesn't go nuts for them. I put a couple in yesterday and I didn't see him eat one until this morning. So I put two...
Hey All ... I recently got some new Discus for my 65 gal. tall aquarium and thought I'd share. They're very beautiful and amazing fish and I hope to keep them healthy and happy for a long time!!
And here's a movie of them eating right from my hand !!
Let me...
EGGS UPDATE!!
All of the eggs still seem good. However some are still white and some are more of an almost clear tan colour. None have fungused yet. So I'm hoping that they will all still hatch. I know it's getting close to the time so I'm getting pretty anxious. I check them every 2 or 3...
Hey Spike,
It was fairly easy to make. I used a styrofoam cooler with a notch cut out in the corner for the heater cord. A piece of marble on the bottom to stick the submersible heater to. I then filled approx. halfway with warm water. I found 2 empty VHS cases to hold another piece of...
Hey Scotty,
There's a couple of pics in my Gallery!! The first pic is when I first got him .. he wasn't in great shape with a rubbed off piece on his chin and thin spots in his casque. The previous owner had kept him in an enclosure that was too small and didn't take him out often so he...
Hey OldChamKeeper I love the closet setup!! It's every chameleons dream come true .... well .... besides being free!! LOL
I'm no expert on the lighting but I think with the size of your cage you should be OK. I was wondering why you wouldn't have one of your sliding doors with a screen on...
Well I just got home and watched him eat 4 silkies. That's the most he's eaten in a long time. Maybe I just needed to post a question on the forum for him to eat. LOLOL
About a week ago I put a 1 yr. old unbred female in with him. He didn't seem to have any problems with that ... the...
Update on my male cham!
Well .. he still won't eat crickets. And now he doesn't eat much of anything else either. The occasional silkworm but he doesn't get too excited over those anymore either. He probably only eats several silkies or hornworms and maybe a couple pieces of grape per WEEK...
I have an explorarium and I'm getting rid of it. IMO they are a PITA !! The zippered door is far too small to be useful as an eclosure and it's not really free standing .. you need to hang it. I suppose just for a temporary outdoor enclosure with a branch inside it may be OK. Not only are...
Perhaps some of these would work !!

In the second one you could just cut out the material creating the...
You can get the pop-up hampers that already have the mesh screening very cheap. That WOULD be a great idea for the summer. You could just turn them upside down over top of a plant or secured branch and weigh down the egdes so that it wouldn't move easily.
Now you've got me thinking ... and...
OH ... Thanks Will.
But would that work for crickets? I guess if the cups were deep enough it would be fine. I wouldn't want to take the chance and have crickets all throughout the house. Well ... not any more than the few stragglers there are now!! LOL
Dyesub Dave. :D
I have also never heard of black being an issue but haven't done much research on the subject. Most of my cham enclosures are black.
Hey Daen ... I like your enclosures. There is an element of brightness added when using the lighter colours and I'm sure it makes the chams much more...
