Oh Jann I am so sorry that you lost Jr :( you looked after him so well like you do with all your pets. It just doesn't get any easier. Thinking of you for all that you've been through lately x

Of you keep them together they will over bread which is not good for the females at all and increases risk of complications like this. Also if they are wild they can have all sorts of illness.

Yes unfortunately it is common for things like that to happen although I've not had any first hand experience. There could be a number of factors, age like you said is possibly a factor. I'm sorry for you, that must have been a horrible thing to have to do :(

I think he means the spines?

I scoop all the crickets out with a plastic cup and put them in a bug tub. Then I wash out the cricket keeper thing in the sink with washing up liquid. Try keeping wet food to one side and dry to the other, that helps. I do mine once a week because I only keep about 50-100 crickets at a time :)

She def needs the vet, my girl eats like a pig for days after laying. Is there a bird vet? Next best thing. She will need to be seen sooner than Tuesday as things like this can progress very fast and be fatal. Good luck!

Yes, chameleons bulge out and suck in their eyelids when they are cleaning. They will do this most while misting is happening but may do it randomly. Sometimes the eyes do bulge out a bit while sleeping, I don't know why but I know that it's nothing to worry about :)

Chameleons can often go to the bottom to poop so I would not necessarily say that this problem is egg related. My girl poops more often when she has eggs and is more likely to become impacted afterwards due to ingesting the laying bin substrate while digging :)

Impaction can be a killer so if you are concerned you should take her to see a vet. Warm showers and natural sun are known to help pass an awkward poop but there are many reasons this could happen. We can maybe help you some more if you could fill out this form and give us a bit more info :)...

Wow! What a good looking little man! Amazing colours for his age :) He reminds me of a certain Mr Pretty Pants who is forum famous :)

I managed to find most of Sandra's dry gutload ingredients at a health food shop. But Sandra says you can get stuff from like a cattle or horse feed place too. Ordered the pee pollen online though.

That is so awesome! And a great homage to Mr Luie :)

That's gonna be a huge house :) You need a laying bin at least a foot wide and deep. You can go a little bigger (mine is 14inch square) but do t go too big or the little lady will dig a really really big tunnel which will be more tiring for her. Here's a great blog about laying bins...

Mine usually come in a poster tube (big giant smarties tube like thing :) ) with bubble wrap inside too.

:/ In Shetland there is only a healthfood shop lol! Or Holland and Barret online but that's just as pricey :) My gutlaod is worth hundreds lolol! But the supply has lasted well over a year so I'm not complaining :)

I get my egg flats from the wholesale places and the supermarket. You can get the ingredients for Sandra's dry gutload at a healthfood shop :)

I keep my girl on a low temp low food intake diet and she lays eggs every 5.5 months so far. She didn't lay until she was about a year old and has laid 2 clutches. I can tell when she is receptive as her colours go very bright and remain bright until a month after the eggs are laid. it's...

Try using a fan in your room if you can :) It makes all the difference to our scaly pals :) Be sure to give him plenty mistings too so he doesn't get dehydrated. The ehat here in Shetland has been unreal even though there's a distinct lack of sunshine! All my reptiles are feeling it!

You could use eco earth :)

Mama turtles always make me think of this pic :D She is beautiful. Are you going to try and hatch the eggs?
