Dont have one of me with Leo or Basil :/.... dang I dont even have a good one of Basil. But here is one of me and Leo separately

Incorrect information. If at anytime while offering advice as to how to keep an animal, you feel the need to use "I think" in a post in which you intend to tell someone what to do, your better off not posting. Not being rude mate, just frank. For a juvenile panther, 85-86 degrees F. is...

Sorry for your loss! Maybe it will cheer you up knowing that as stated before, most Senegals are imported and not captive bred. Most usually they come into the country in not the best conditions. The fact that he lived with you for over two years is to be commended, as I don't know very...

Coming from a household of birds and dogs and tortoises, chameleons seemed like a crazy step forward, or so my family thought. My grandmother despised the thought of reptiles in the house (besides tortoises, which in her mind aren't really reptiles.... yea... I know.) but she gave in when...

Ideally a baby panther should bask @ 85 F. Its kind of the perfect mixture of heat to increase metabolism and speed digestion, while at the same time not hot enough to cause burns or dehydration. Adult panthers can bask @ 85 F. as well, though some members choose to bump temps up to 90 F. The...

For the sake of understanding, what are the exact dimensions of the cage in the pictures? im guessing (and giving a little over here) 18x18x18? perhaps 24x24x24? Measuring in inches of course. Either way, that cage will not be suitable once the animal gets past 5-6 months, depending on...

Raising the temperature is as simple as moving the bulb an inch or two closer to the basking spot. Without hearing the cough myself or seeing pictures of the mouth gaping, I cannot confirm for you if it is a respiratory infection or something else, perhaps even something very common that we...

This is very true! hornworms are comprised mostly of water, as are most worms. Constantly feedings worms will make the feces seem a little runny. Make sure you decipher it actually is a respiratory infection before starting and medical treatments on the animal, no need to harm it and put...

Jann is right. Reptiles in general do not get colds. The bacteria (germs, microbes) that result in the cold have no reptilian counterpart as far as we know of. The cold that a dog gets is a different strain of the cold humans get, and they can not be passed off to each other. Reptiles get...

If this enclosure for a veiled or a panther? most common of the kept species... forgive me if im simply assuming. Either way, too much plexiglass, which makes you just asking for a URI Veileds in the natural habitat endure lower humidity naturally, S.A, Yemen, and some parts of Jordan...

My Sambava is the same! I feed using a deli cup to hold the roaches, IF HE SEES THE DELI CUP AT ALL he will run to the feeding perch and start aiming the tongue. My Ambanja however prefers to eat when no one is standing near, but with my Sambava I dont even get a chance to stick my hand in...

Small fatpads on head, and very pronounced nose... I say Ambanja or Ambanja cross. In the second picture the eye looks swollen.... or is that just me?

Just a followup, if the cage temps are reading 83F, and your using a decent thermometer, then instead of replacing the light with a lower wattage one you can simply move the light back from the cage an inch or two to lower the temps. Though for a baby 83F is not that big of a difference from...

Not to be a stickler, but I think its best that we learn this persons location before advising about wattages. In California I sure can get away with a 20 watt bulb during the summer days, but I dont really think that would cut it in Alaska :confused: and just to be clear a common household...

I love my Sambava! he came to us at about 9 months of age (gotta love hold backs!) and from day one had no problem hitching a ride on my shoulder and he always remains calm, yet loves to climb to the top of my head where he sits and watches tv or computer... its adorable. He also eats from...

Well I know the color is gone, but I still like these shots and thought ide share ;) First is of my Sambava, Second of my Ambanja What do you guys think of the composition / picture in general

They cant control shed, its a natural body process. As Pssh Said, at his age you should be letting him eat as much as he wants. Pssh is one with the under-feeding ;) Honestly 4-5 silkies/crickets a day is not enough to make him grow, sure hell survive - but it will be maintenance mode...

The simple lack of availability of chameleons in Canada (vs. the surplus currently in the U.S) - its simple supply and demand tactics that are explaining why it costs you more to purchase one in Canada rather than in the U.S. You Could most easily purchase a CB/Pure Locale from the U.S, of...

No digging in your own yard? hmmmm I supposed you could do something similar and just hold it down via stakes (you can put stakes in the ground can't you?) The reptarium is dangerous enough when used under supervision and for only a few hours per day. I cannot honestly say that I would...
