Good to hear they are still going strong. How are those new females doing?

As promised pics of little Curly. Last one is my fav. Thanks to everyone who has been checking up on him. I will post more updates in the future, he will be sticking with me.

I was just thinking of doing an update on him tomorrow, you beat me to it. Tomorrow will be 28 days old. His prolapse is 100% retracted. He eats very well, is extremely active, and has grown quite a bit. Not to mention he is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I will post some pics of him...

Looks like her tail is has a bump right where it starts to curl. Was that always there? Maybe somehow she broke it? I've had chams with a bump or two on their tails like that I always assumed they were old breaks. They used their tails fine though, she probably will in time too.

The best position to take a pic for us to judge if she is gravid would be looking down at her back. Focused in just on her. But it is getting late and she should be sleeping. If you are going to goto the vet tomorrow, and its one experienced with exotics, they will know right away.

She does need a trip to the vet. Even in the pic of when you first got her, the back leg looks all wonky. The vet will be able to tell the state of her bones. They do this by gentle squeezing the back of their head. Gently is the key word when they are suspected of MBD. Their skull should...

It might be worth a call to a few vets offices, many will have a number for afterhours veterinary care on their voicemails. If that doesn't pan out and she does survive the night, she really does need to goto the vet tomorrow. I had a tunnel collapse on a female. She had already finished...

As fluxlizard said late in devlopment you probably won't see anything. I candled some panther eggs, a week before hatching. I could see nothing, no veins, no shaded mass, nothing just light clear yellow all the way through. I even picked them up with the light behind it and turned them...

I have been only skimming this thread between plowing snow. Im sorry if somone has pointed this out already. Let me say I am not an importer, but I have purchased from a bunch. They have all told me stories about having to accept one species to get another. These WC animals are so cheap...

Just guessing but maybe she was a Nosy Be girl that had a fling with an Amilobe at the exporters holding pen. Then after you got her she was already "fertile" so to speak. Even though you had mated that male, maybe his sperm didn't take because she was carrying? I'm not sure of the timeline...

I attempted to keep a 2.3 grouping in a 75gallon tall aquarium. It didn't go well, despite being heavily planted. The larger male constanly flashed warning colors to the smaller male. In turn the small male most of the time looked more like a female by his patterning. That went on for a week...

If it were me, I would go and get an xray done. Most times the vets are really good about the small animals and will give ya a two fer. IE you will get two views on the same xray film, from diff angles for the price of one. I know that you know she has eggs, but the xray will show how they...

Make sure when you add the water, it is warm. They don't like digging if it is really cold. At the same time you dont want to cook her. Slightly higher than room temp is good. After adding the water thouroughly mix the water and sand together. Otherwise you will end up with pockets of dry...

Use play sand, or sand and organic soil. Make it moist enough that you can dig a tunnel in it without it collapsing. You can leave one or two of your test holes, she might use one. Dont use vermiculite your female could end up swallowing it while digging, which would probably cause impaction...

Yea I can see why she is yours :). Sooo cute and so tiny! Good to hear everything is going well with her.

How would you say the growth rate was affected by that? Is she less than half the size of the siblings? I'm just very curious. It interests me how factors like that can affect the outcome of the baby for its entire life.

I got a few Uroplatus last year, Satanics to be specific. From everything I read about them before getting them they were super fragile. I heard the same about chameleons years back. Basically its the same deal as chams you gotta study up on what their requirments. If you fulfill those these...

He came out of the egg on 1/1, small yolk sac attached. Hoping he is still using his reserves if he hasn't eaten already.

Lmao I thought the same, but I was gonna buy a case a day. :)

Well we could just attempt to do what Siegfried Rotthaeuser is doing in Europe, where incandescents are being phased out. Hes just repacking them as "heat balls" or small heating devices. Apparently our bulbs we use now covert 95% of their power to heat and only 5% to light. So our "light"...
