You're so crazy ;)

Will post my babies soon! Been crazy busy, but it's time for new pics.

Krunch could not be in better hands! Your chams will be 100% under your care, soon!

Very nice! I am going to Lowes in the next few days, where they have some table saws on sale. My crusty one is due to be replaced. Gonna build some stands, drainage system, and couple other projects. Thanks for sharing! I have been enjoying going through the forums, getting inspiration, and...

In my admittedly limited experience, chams can be picky about their food. They may love a type of feeder regularly, then suddenly get "bored" with it. Offering a variety is always a good idea, and will usually entice a picky one to eat (like small green hornworms). Varying the gut load of...

No, not trying to breed! They are both less than 2 months old, and have plenty of cover in their "pothos jungle". Chams that young are frequently kept together, in small numbers. The cage is 16x16x20. I had two setup to house them individually, but had to return one because of defects. I am...

OH you better believe I ordered several hundred HF pupae! I got some before for Krakatoa & Java, and they loved it. I sincerely hope that your vet is knowledgable and figures this out! But more-so, I really hope it is nothing to worry about. I am really looking forward to what the vet says...

So it was feeding time at the zoo, and I had all 3 cages open and 4 hungry panthers to feed. Three of my panthers take to b. dubia nymphs eagerly, whereas Enakai, my new 1.7 month old Nosy Faly female, ignores them for the most part. She is a picky eater, timid, and I believe she is still...

Oh wow Scott, I just noticed your signature. Why not get two more NF's and make an even dozen? :) JK. That's quite a project you got going! I am looking forward to seeing them color up. And thanks for the kind comments everyone! They are insanely cute, my crappy camera does not do them justice!

http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/ is a great place to checkout reviews on digital cameras. Though it is a $100 more than your budget, the Nikon D3100 is a good choice. DSLR with a very beginner-friendly guide mode. Choose a DSLR wisely. Upgrading in the future to a more expensive DSLR...

Yes, mantisplace.com. Goofy website, but great selection of stuff. Got loads of house fly pupae too, which of course my chams loved. Be warned though, you will pay more than $10 for shipping if your order is fairly large (though you wouldn't know it from their site). No idea about the butterfly...

Yeah, I was afraid they could turn cannibalistic. I do have 6-80oz. Insect cups and a 10 gallon aquarium with FF grade mesh screen top to house them separately as they get larger. Lots of excelsior, wood skewers, and sphagnum moss. For now, I am keeping them in their hatching container with...

Right on! They stay in my warm humid chameleon room. If I had an exotic looking mantis, like violin, orchids, ghosts, etc...I don't think I could feed them off. Way too cool! Do you breed yours frequently? Do you ever sell their oothecae?

I saw the violin mantids on a website; they are crazy looking! I thought about doing ghost mantids, and other known communal species. But I picked egyptian mantids because I hear they can be communal, as adults they are only about 1.5", and they are green! I do have a bunch of 80oz. modified...

Ooooh, quite a catch you have there! What a stunner.

Damn, I am so jealous. SoCal has some great shows, and great breeders. Would love to meet some of you guys! I used to live in Los Angeles back in the day, before I was into chameleons. Kicking myself now! But it's only a 6 hour drive to NARBC in Arlington, TX :)

Update: They are hatching! I don't know exactly when they hatched; could have been as early as yesterday. I counted about a dozen between my 2 ooths so far. I tried capturing them with my pitiful Nikon S210, but no luck. They are about 3 times as long as Melanogaster FF, but thinner. I offered...

Yep, a breeder by the name of Max Huerter on faunaclassifieds. Said he has been breeding off and on for twenty years. Very good on email correspondences. The male's sire is "Iceman", and he is beautiful. Did a very nice job on packaging I might add. Has anyone else gotten babies from him...

Hey, just got my new NF's today, and took a few quick snaps and letting them get used to their new place. Wish I had a better camera...one day. The male (Kraken) is 1.9 months, the female (Enakai) is 1.7 months. I love the hints of blue on the little guy. They are both sharing a cage until next...
