I think there are many factors to determine when attempting to calculate the cost of raising a clutch of babies. First will you hand mist or buy an automated misting system. Will you buy cheap walmart fixtures, or high quality reptile specific fixtures. Where will you buy your plants...live or...

Hey I'm just getting caught up with this thread. First of all, good luck with the panther chams, they are wonderful to work with, and even more fun when u begin breeding. My question is this, when you refer to $250..are you asking if this is a good price to sell your chams at, or are you...

I am by no means an expert on RI but I think it would take longer than 36 or so hours to really cause a problem, the only times I've heard of RI happening, is when people have kept their reptiles in overly humid/wet conditions for weeks, not days...but as I said, I am no expert. Hopefully...

Also having your pet store dust your feeders isn't a good idea unless you are going straight home and feeding them to your chameleon, which also isn't a good idea, as you should be properly gutloading your crickets prior to feeding them you your chameleon. The best idea when it comes to...

I think if the system you have been using so far hasn't had any issues, and your chameleons are nicely hydrated, there is no reason to change anything. Your chameleons will be fine without watering them at night.

I agree, my chameleons would go crazy for hornworms and silkworms...I would have fed them more often if they weren't so expensive!

Well it sounds like you are diving in head first, so I hope it works out well for you. I'm sure people will appreciate another option when it comes to purchasing chameleons, so long as the source is responsible with the health and care of their chameleons. I was just curious, have you ever...

Agreed, it is never a good idea to inject your own animals, injections are a very specialized skill set, and if done improperly can cause some pretty serious complications. Why not just take it to the vet, then you have the guarantee that it will be done correctly, and I'm sure the charge for...

IMHO She is most definitely not pregnant. If she is pregnant she is nowhere near ready and would still be in the process of producing eggs. She just looks like a nice healthy female, there are many other factors that affect chameleon colors...temps, stress, health reasons....being gravid is...

I'm sure you could get yourself a little community of pygmy chameleons going? Maybe they're not the most beautiful chameleons they sure are interesting to watch roaming around.

I'm just tuning into this thread now..I'm a little confused, is it a joke or for real? Is the OP really saying he's about to drop 200k to start a chameleon business? If so I say good luck to you! But I will also offer a word of warning, a big part of the reason the current bigger breeders or...

Thanks Karma, I am new to these forums, but not new to chameleons, I have been keeping chameleons amongst other reptiles for as long as I can remember. Up in Canada we do not often get the opportunity to see the parsonii, as a matter of fact, I'm not even sure if they are allowed to be imported...

Hey Chuck, I'm new to these forums, but am quite impressed by your amazing parsons.. if you dont mind me asking, how many do you currently have in your collection?

And for the purpose of selling you a bulb that costs 20 bucks more than a regular household bulb haha

Yes, it is very common for females to lay a second "retained clutch" in the months following the first clutch. They will not need to be reintroduced to the male again to get a second fertile clutch (assuming the first mating was successful)

lol beat me to it kev...

From everything I have heard you should not be using a red bulb at night for heat, as the red light emitted from the bulb can be seen by the chameleon and affects their sleep. If temperatures are an issue at night you might consider switching to a ceramic heater, provides the heat without the...

I would echo the other members of this forum, when I say look at our sponsors. Although I currently do not have their products, I have heard many amazing reviews about the people at Light Your Reptiles I wrote him an email, and no joke 15 minutes later I received an email answering all the...

Well one obvious suggestion would be to post here, but I see that you are a Junior Member so cannot post in the classifieds. So maybe you could send a message to Brad and ask for permission to post, or have a more senior member post for you? Also there is craigslist, and a bunch of other sites...

Another option, if you really feel like you are being ripped off from time to time is this. The next time you get an order of crickets that you feel pretty comfortable is likely around the amount you ordered, dump the box into a plastic bag and seal the top and weigh them. That way you can at...
