Some follow up information. Last night I was reading Linda Davidson's book, and I just happened to read the section pertaining to this issue. That book said that if a female chameleon is dropping eggs incorrectly, in their experience, the best thing to do for the survival of the female is to...
Didn't see this mentioned, but I heard that dogfood is high in phosphorus. So are crickets. Both offset (neutralize) calcium. I will rarely use it just to bring in some variety...but I'm talking like once every few weeks or so. Mostly because we have a dog.
I gotta respectfully disagree with Dodolah on a couple points. This is an example, but last night I was handling a 5-week old veiled, and it wasn't stressing at all. I'm not saying that they don't stress...especially if a cricket crawls on them, or if another baby veiled steps on them, but his...
When a chameleon takes on stress colors, or seems to permanently take on new colors you haven't seen before in a relatively short time frame (in other words, it isn't just maturing into new colors)...then its not feeling well, and possibly in pain. Have you checked it for parasites? Take some...
Me too
Hate to say, "Me too", but one of the major threats to private ownership of exotic species like chameleons are the boneheads who release them in the wild. It provides the legislature with the ammunition they need to outlaw our herps so the little old ladies who vote will feel safe...
Yeah. Its brutal out there. Thats why I always ask what the locale is first before I let them know what I'm looking for...so they don't say what I want to hear. Theres a lot of liars and thieves out there.
But the good news is that you got the best of the seller. I doubt he'd have sold...
At long last, the hunt is over. I got this guy (Orion) yesterday. And he *really* liked one of my females, Andromeda. I've looked for one with this color for at least a year. Yes, the mating picture is shot through a screen.
Funny you should ask. I just completed a long entry on housing babies using an aquarium. Personal opinions and all. Its more for beginners, but its a "cook book" how to. Yep, I know that using an aquarium is a little controversial, (and maybe my opinions) but I've got the guts to post it :)...
A few days ago, I saw one of my female panthers pull off a piece of strategy that would make any West Point Cadet proud. From the middle of her cage, if she were to try to pick a cricket off the wall, she might, or might not be able to reach it. The other day she was sitting at the base of a...
Not to hijack this thread, but only for a moment...
Here's a link: http://www.chameleonplantation.com/blog/?p=21
This shows either the children, or the grandchildren, of my female, so they were your cham's grandchildren or great grandchildren. Basically, I used one male to generate offspring...
Holy smoke, man! Now that I think of it, my very first Pardalis was purchased from a guy named Kent. I think I even still have a copy of a e-picture (you?) took of my cham's sire in my files. I think I bought a female from you. She kicked out some amazing babies, and I sure wish I had her...
Heh. Actually, because I don't completely 100% know for sure that everything is what I think it is, and I'll disclose what I do know on the front-end, with the understanding that there would be no refunds. When the time comes, I'll probably price them according to my degree of certainty. I...
I wasn't replying to you. There were a few posts in there that implied that panther locale wasn't noteworthy since they were all the same animal.
As for saying your chams are Ambanja-like, and disclosing that there is certainty that they are not pure...thats a good thing...good idea...
