Love these dogs! How is their shedding?

Yeah.. if I bought a very small fraction of the papers JSTOR alone had that I wanted... I would be a very broke man..

That thought crossed my mind while I was typing that. Not to mention the fact of just how much work that would be. However, even a bibliography would be awesome. Michael Jacobi compiled and published this fantastic website for arachnoculturists and researchers...

Furthermore, aside from some papers pertaining to sensitive species that list localities (with concern to over-collecting), it seems that such publications should be databased online and widely dispersed throughout the herptocultist community. Hmm.. perhaps that should be a new project for me..

Ferguson did some amazing work.... I am amazed how many herptoculturists are unaware of his papers. Ferguson appears to have been quantifying some important and cloudy subjects. I am currently trying to contact Dr. Ferguson himself, and I would be interested to hear his motives throughout his...

Niels, fantastic work (and great website!). We commend your level of involvement within our industry and interest. I am curious on the scope and purpose of this article. Does this paper have a systematic or taxonomic basis, or is this a more simple comparative morphological article...

I am looking for the following articles. Thought I would ask around here before I pull out the 'bigger search guns'.. Gehrmann, W.H. and G.W. Ferguson. 2005. Replacing fluorescent lamps. Bull. Chicago Herp. Soc. 40:85-86. G.W. Ferguson, W. H. Gehrmann, K.B. Karsten, A.J. Landwer...

I am surprised none of the more advanced culturists have responded to this. I still am very interested on an answer or idea for the explanation on what is happening at the physiological level when a chameleons pupil become discolored in the aforementioned manner.. no further input anyone?

update...?

Although I might begin to dispute this off of a presumed intuition, this makes a good point. It it not at all uncommon to find in-situ photos of wild panthers, that depict animals of slim or poor weight. A number of reasons why field photos would depict such animals comes to mind.. food...

Fungus gnats.. I control these simply by letting my plants dry out as much as possible between waterings, that is, without causing the plants to wilt. There are a few other methods, most of which are not chameleon safe. However, letting your plants dry a little more should do the trick...

This is a great idea. Been debating on if this was worth the time. I have been offering mixed greens (some romaine, collards, kale, and baby lettuces), shredded carrot, shredded zucchini, and sweet potato. I also offer some basic dry flukers cricket feed simply to try and aid the offset in the...

So you have been seeing a black-ish discoloration within the eye too? Have you noticed this having any relation to size? Do you refer to imbalance as it might be an improper ratio of D3/Vit A, or simply too much of either or? What was the regime and type you were using on the particular...

Have you noticed any change in the shape, color, density of black color coverage, etc with the actual eye itself?

This is your ONLY option. Wound cleaning and a full series of antibiotics will absolutely be necessary, and only appropriate through veterinary advising. I would just leave her completely alone and out of site of anyone or anything until vet attention can be given.

So, I have come to notice that a few animals in my collection (a trio of Ambanja sisters) from a reputable breeder have developed some eye abnormalities. I will not yet go through their care conditions, as I mean to present this more of a general topic of discussion, rather than a half-hearted...

Update on the situation?

Sorry about your loss. It can be hard.. On that note, I am of the opinion that baby Jackson's should not be sold until a solid size. I am willing to bet that this guy was simply too young to pack up and put out on an expo floor.. The seller probably knew that and wanted to sell through them...

This is interesting, as some of my fellow-breeders are buying breeder quantities from Ghauns. Someone said to me a few weeks ago that this species was in fact more aggressive that A. domesticus, but Ghauns states they are not as aggressive as G. assimilis. I will be interested to hear about...

Interesting note. I will have more to add on this later.. after some select discussion with a few individuals. This brings up my main concern. Exactly what are the symptoms of Vit A deficiency and how often are the symptoms really a sign of such a deficiency? I have seen little, if hardly...
