Thanks, Benny. I just checked on him and he is actually basking with hi head up. I am very pleased about that. I put a few d. melanogasgter ff in with i earlier and he showed no interest, bu i am not so sure he could see them. If he hasn't eaten in a couple of hours, I may try baby food...

Dropped in to my LPS yesterday to stock up on mammal food. They hav reptiles and do a decent enough job. Got pulled aside by one of the employees who knows I keep chams. Apprently, they got in a gravid Hoehnelii last week who was purchased by someone I will call Joe. Joe got her hm and two...

What size crickets ? Ghann just canceled my order saying they were out (just this past Monday)

Thanks, Heather. When I got home from work this afternoon, they were each doing their own thing. I misted and they drank. They managed to eat all the flies I put in there yesterday as well. The enclosure is an Exo-terra 18x18x18 and is well planted and has leaf litter and soil over a bed of...

Thanks! I don't know why this didn't come up in my google search. I'd still like to hear about how others keep this species. You can never have too much information.

I just got a pair of R. Acuminatus. They are seemingly healthy and the female appears to be receptive. It was supposed to be a 1.2 trio. However, instead, I got a male R. nchisiensis which as marked as a female acuminatus. Not sure how that could happen, but it did. So, now I have this itty...

How old is he/she? I think it's interesting that Melleri just love water as a species and for other species, it seems to be individual preference. At least in my expxerience, I've had some individuals who just love a good mist and others who would literally run under a leaf to avoid getting...

He is about a 1/3 of the size of the male acuminatus, so I knew something was up when I took him out of the box. Then he blazed his eye turrets. I hate to ship him again to return him so quickly because of the stress.

Thanks, Chris. That's what I figured, but I wanted to be sure. He's in the exo-terra (18x18x18 and well planted) with the two acuminatus and seems to be just hanging out. I will have to find other accommodations for him today.

I just got a shipment from Exotics inPort St. Lucie. Was supposed to be 1.2 group of R acuminatus. I got a male and femal acuminatus and what I am pretty sure is a male R. nchisiensis. Check out the blue eye turrets. I just want to be sure before I call them and figure out what to do. He...

That is terrific news! Consider it money well spent -- now you know everything is fine and you can stop worrying.

How exciting! I usually wait until my husband goes out of town and then I manage to find reptiles that need a home, or a cat or two. He usually doesn't notice until they've been here a while. It's the risk he takes when he travels for work. :)

very cute! How old? With all those bloodlines, I guess you are planning on making babies!:)

When you have a glass enclosure like an exoterra, you do NOT need to mist as often and must be careful of getting it overwet. Too much dampness is not a good thing. The nice thing about exoterra is that they come in something like 8 sizes but I think the tallest is 24". Last time I checked...

if the tank is an exoterra, you should be ok, especially if it's a montane species. They have a screen strip just below the doors which casues a convection current and pulls air in and out through the top. If you search this site for exoterra, you will find a post by Chris Anderson about...

Get a look at these colors! I took this guy outside for the day in the humidity and he turned all kinds of happy happy colors that just don't show up in these photos. His eye turrets have streaks of dark turquoise blue with dark yellow dots in between. His flanks can apparently turn a deep...

My house has central AC and it's my daughter's bedroom that houses most of the herps. The day geckos and anoles have heat lamps at night (blue or red) and the montanes have no added heat. Works out fine. We just make sure to keep the humidity up with a just-before-lights-out misting. Geckos...

You can get it without the D3 (you have to look for it). I've never used more than a drop or two at a time mixed with the baby food. The pears and prunes pull water into the gut and the fish oil coats the mucosa. In m experience, this mixture will produce poop in 12-24 hours, barring a really...

I've mixed baby food pears and prunes with a little fish oil. The fish oil capsules are available at the healt hfood store. You need a syringe to suck out the oil, or you can cut them (messy). Mix a little with the fruit. If there is any foreign substance in there, the fish oil will tend to...

Genetic Predisposition? Julirs' original post leas me to a couple of questions and I am not sure thatanyone has an answer. If Henry has MBD despite proper lighting and supplementation, does he have a genetic defect? All things being equal, I would have to assume that if his parents were...
