The reptibreeze cages are garbage. Their customer base on those has pretty much fallen. I just setup 40 new cages, and decided to pay the little extra to have the hand built cages that Loren at LLL sell as oppose to the reptibreeze scrap metal.

Well getting some new projects to have around, but I can't decide on the last couple groups. I have numerous ambilobe and nosey be lines going. Debating on blue Sambava's (my fav I am leading towards), Nosy Faly's, or something else entirely. I think Sambava's and Nosy Faly's in the end would...

Thanks for the input guys. Sandra, thank you for the link. I will definitely go through that. Vit A def is the only thing I can figure is bothering my Nosey. He is about seven months old. Typical setup, large screen, 8 hour drip, 75 watt bask bulb, 5.0 linear tube, etc etc. I maintain...

I am curious on just how prevalent vit a deficiencies are in captive chameleons. I think I have a seven month old male Nosey that is suffering from mild signs of such. A little while back, Jim Flaherty was pretty sure another poster was describing a case of vit a deficiency in a six month old...

Well with a little research, I seem to have answered my own question. It looks like with practice and the proper solution, one could perform their own fecal float/smear. It would just be a matter of confidently identifying the parasites. Anyone here done this on their own?

Can anyone offer insight on how to perform a proper fecal float? I have numerous microscopes that I use for arachnid taxonomy, they are dissection scopes but some of them go up to 50X. This should be sufficient to see at least coccidia. Does anyone here perform their own floats. Aside from...

Seeco, what kind of chameleons have you successfully raised in these setups? I will be hatching out panthers soon and am debating on the best way to raise them. I am thinking I will raise fresh babies in tubs, then use my small screen cages for seperating groups, housing holdbacks, etc etc...

You read my mind Jdog. Anyone here have thoughts on the screameleons baby housing methods?

I have a few hand selected Jackson's that I would be willing to part with right now. I can do individuals for 110.00 shipped. Males and females available. Open to full/partial trades. Live arrival guaranteed. Call, email, or text for more information and photos of individuals...

Thanks Jdog. I will try a fogger/humidifier. And most excellent photo documentation, I am very impressed. So, furthermore..screen cages vs. an open tub/container? I will soon be dealing with large numbers of baby panthers too, and am wondering what would be best for successful efficient...

How did you guys raise them from birth? I have been having a heck of a time keeping the babies going. We had one group that made it to about six weeks old and then one by one started withering away. I have hatched and raised panthers and veileds and cannot understand what I am doing wrong. I...

Anyone here know the K rating of the 5.0 repti-suns (both linear and compacts)? I know the 2.0 is 6700 K. I am wondering how a standard 6700 K compact flourescent might work or affect chameleons (in addition or replacement of repti-suns). I am having trouble keeping some of my planted cham...

I am working on my cham room and am trying to think of the best way to raise babies. I have been using exo-terras for the youngest of babies, and then moving them into screens when they are large enough. Looking for practicality and something that will nicely fit the purpose. Most babies have...

Now are you saying that panthers do not belong in pet stores? People are not breeding enough to be able to sell retail prices that are right on with breeder prices. As we know, most breeders sell animals for less than pet stores. The invertebrate market is a good example of this dichotomy...

Well, part of this conversation seems to be going in the way of a species debate.. or sub-species rather. I tend to push towards a cladistic approach. I feel that if anything is diagnosable, then it is a species. However, the 'cladistic species concept' is more or less defined on cladistic...

Looks like the preview had most of the information on it. It's encouraging to see work like this being actively done. It appears that is was not essentially chameleon experts doing this project, but the interest and motivation was still there. This kind of stuff makes me remember why I should be...

Thanks for posting. Does anyone by chance have a full pdf of this or Ferguson et al 1996?

Great simple info guys. Anyone to add?

Bump, bump.

That's a wonderful collective of periodicals you posted there. This is great information to have around, however, aside from the time consuming process of tracking down the full papers of such work, I find the information straying from what a culturist/zoologist can ultimately pull from the...
