    help from parsons owners

    They are not difficult - if you will get true CB animals (no problem lately in Europe although really bargain they aren't until now. But look, if you calculate dollar per kg may be it is not that bad :) ). If you are able breed panthers in several generation or breed mellers do not worry and...

    From the Philippines

    I see no problem. There will be necessary let issue export CITES permit (should be no problem for legal stock). If you need import CITES permits for II animals in Philippines I do not know. Than veterinary export documents. When paperwork is done book and let ship it like air cargo. Cost of...

    Adjustable min max hygrometer thermometer with probe

    It seems that only adjustable min/max hygrometer thermometer on ebay is Western caliber IV, however it is without probes. Another adjustable rectangular Xikar has min max option just on moisture and not temperature. No help, I should purchase Caliber IV if some good soul will not save my day...

    Adjustable min max hygrometer thermometer with probe

    Ok, I need find something like described in title. Am best on ebay, amazon or something like that but I was not able find anything. Adjustable needs to be just hygrometer. Every cheaper hygrometer (bellow $100) if I bought more are usually 15-20% off each other, unusable. So it should to be...

    What happens if humidity stays too low?

    I have separate reptile "forest" room (in "desert" I do not use any). It is closed, doors and windows tight I have humifidier set to 65% and it works guess 2-5 minutes in an hour. Truth is that room is full of terrariums.

    Big, Bold & Beautiful! Meet my Melleri!

    I am breeding melleri (now it is F3 generation) and after my opinion CB are no more diffiicult to culture and breed like pardalis. They are active, "very intelligent" (suprisingly they remember for example very well where is "loophole" to escape). They are no aggressive and bring a lot of fun...

    Eating adult serraticauda

    Some monitors can "eat" the larger cagemate. You will come and the 2/3 of larger one sticks out of mouth but the larger is dead. Chamaeleolis can eat lizard almost own size. But this chameleon. My melleri eat some cocroach species, some not and they determine them like professional entomologist...

    Eating adult serraticauda

    In my reptile room has escaped adult male of Phelsuma serraricauda. I can not find it although I am looking hard. In this room are 2 cages with 2x2 cm wire so definitely not "phelsumatight". One with adult pardalis male, second with breeding melleri. Although I am breeding reptiles many decades...

    Parsonii questions

    When I mist minute than is plenty of water on foliage and will stay there more than 1 hour. If I will mist 2 hours there will be no more water on foliage. So parsonii can drink how long it likes (they see water drips on foliage). Thirsty are imported animals. They often drink "hours" I...

    Melleri social behavior

    Ok, I have 3 of melleri (my next generation) growing in one cage. 2 of them are "friends" and usually close each to other. Third is "self-contained" it can be close to them at bask spot, but mostly it is separated. However they are "food competitors" and they oberve each other. If one is...

    Phoenix worms question

    If you have stronger light in cage than in room, do not worry. Soldier flies (imago) are very attracted to light source and they will stay there. Maximally they will "visit" window and from there you can easily return them back. So it does not be "fly tight" cage. Btw, even my large species...

    T5 v. T8 bulbs, opinions?

    T5 have many advantages just one problem - they are more expensive. However I am slowly replacing my aged T8 fixtures - by several dozens it is quite painfull. But the difference is clearly visible, way more light in cages.

    Arcadia Lights are the Ish!!!!!!!!!!!!

    D3 T5 bulbs are produced just in 24,39 and 54 Wattage (55,85,115 cm long). You need T5 fitting not only correct length but Wattage as well. If it is true it will work (as minimum here in Europe) the electronic will be "OK". I use origininal "double" fitting from Arcadia. In terrarium I have...

    Arcadia Lights are the Ish!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What I consider very important that some arcadia employee are actively participating in UK reptile forums (f.e arcadia john). That way they get feedback from breeders (they listen what they need, what does not work, what should be improved, where is the "market hole") and on contrary can inform...

    Arcadia Lights are the Ish!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Very important factor is how tall is cage. But not pure dimensions but where are the chameleons most time. By D3+ they can not take "sunbath" closer like foot (I speak about longer exposure). If they bask closer, it should be just D3 (but not under 10 cm). If they move ofen in distance less...
