Hehe, most people would not understand the size of this event.

Just make sure you give them a good rinse. I have found that larger chameleons will slowly kill these plants off with their claws, but for smaller and juvenile chameleons they are just great. They collect some water in the middle of the "umbrella", great for drinking...

Im really glad to have found this forum, hopefully I can get some contacts with good europen breeders in a new way as I usually go to Hamm or have friends going. I dont deal with WC, so its great to have all these people togeter at one forum, it will hopefully improve my search for certain...

Personally, I think their spiteful meanness is the charm of calyptratus. I love it.

You should not handle a chameleon, thats one of the first things you should have read about them. It does not matter how snappy they are if your fingers are not near them, its simple that way... You cant really make it "hand tame", and there is no reason to try, it will just cause stress.

I think we have all seen Rustys pose at one time or another, its priceless! I just want to photoshop a cookie jar in front of him...

The risk of bacterial contammination is really a fact if you just rehydrate them, that would be my first concern. I have really never seen the use for this product myself, its easy to make your own water dispenser. Would it be possible to boil the crystals?

Mmmm, actually, and I do not want to be pegged as a "know it all" or start a debate, but the thing is that no reptiles are classic social animals. This is not "social" as in mingling with friends, "social animals" is a biological therm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_animals It is a...

Dont do that. IF it is MBD, its stopable/treatable. Its very dificult to try to giva a diagnosis over the net, If you do have these suspicions you might want to look up a good vet.

There are some species that people seem to be able to keep in pairs, i've seen some jacksonii, melleri and hoehnelii that was successfully paired together. However, this is usually very experienced chameleon keepers that know what they are doing. I strongly suggest that you keep the...

And, almost a given when you have a smaller terrarium collecting dust, Rieppeleon brevicaudatus is an excellent choise. A group of those will be a really great addition to a planted viv.

I get you now. Im just a bit cranky when it comes to handling reptiles as if they were social animals. I must say that my experience is that its almost all about individuality; Ive had chameleons that would bite my head of if given the chance, and some that were just naturally more relaxed...

What struck my eye was the comment about "bonding" and "stroking him under his chin". There is no logical reason to try to handle the chameleon to make it less stressful for it the few times you HAVE to handle him. The total sum of stress will only be larger that way. Just handle the cam...

I hate to break it to you, but your chameleon does not like being inteacted with, its just not in their biology. Any deduction from your part that the chameleon likes it is faulty anthropomorphization. The best way to not have him slip of your arm is to not have him on the arm. There are...

What is the treatment? It would not surprise me if some of the drugs could color the urates slightly.

Emeralds are probably ruled out due to the size abnd shape of the cage. I would recommend Agalychnis callidryas, they are really interesting animals. The size might be on the small side, but if it has to be snakes you might want to look into Corallus hortulanus, you have a great variety in...

Well, you can unscrew the shower hose, right? Thats all it takes.

That would be fine by me, I wouldnt want to vote in a contest that I've entered myself anyway.

If that is true, I must wonder why. My short time here does not affect my ability as a photographer...

I hate to hijack the thread, but I have been klicking around and cant for the love of me find out how the photo contest works practically. Could some friendly soul explain the process, just the ball part. Where do I upload, etc etc. Maybe there is a sticky somewhere that I missed?
