Oh boy, good thing we have some extra enclosures right now, eh? :p Snow, was the poster you are talking about Kenya (Nikki)?

Oh wow, that blue is great. Your scheffleras also look very nice --they're so tall! Ours seem to like getting bushier, but they are always such useful plants.

I still love the orange he gets right at the base of his tail. Pretty, pissy boy. :D

Kenya and I have a big wooden Fluker's bin that's divided into two halves (I think there's a picture of it in a thread...somewhere) and has a screened top. There are two lightsockets on the inner back wall which we keep ceramic bulbs in and the roaches breed like crazy. Dubias are kept in one...

Having multiple females with one male would be better, from what I have heard. Pygs are often kept in breeding trios, with one male and two females. So if you end up with one male and three females, you would still be doing fine (unless anyone knows otherwise, say that more than two females...

As far as the skin goes, if it's little white bits it sounds like some retained shed that scraped off. But his tongue...I'd wait for a reply from someone who knows a bit more, but they definitely can injure their tongues in a number of ways (the muscle of the tongue, the bone in it, etc.). I...

That set up looks great! I like that you have a tracking chart on the door. :D

It's seeming like most of the insect species that try to overwinter indoors are not-so-safe or worth risking with chams. Western conifer seed bugs, ladybugs, and stinkbugs, as Kenya mentioned, are all known to find their way indoors when it gets chilly outside. So far this season I've seen...

The same thing happened here a few months ago at a local Petsmart. They had a female veiled who had been in a tiny glass enclosure for at least 6 months. Last time we saw her, she was dark, on the bottom, and had her eyes closed. On multiple occasions, Nikki spoke with managers about her...

Have just a little more patience, everyone...I took pictures of him this morning! Nikki will probably post them (and take some more) this evening. ;)

Welcome! I spy another Charmed fan. :D

Welcome! One thing you should change (from what you've described so far) is the forest bed substrate. Though it can look nice, having anything on the bottom other than nothing or, say, paper towels may lead to problems if your cham ends up ingesting any of the material. Other than that, I...

I don't even know what to say. "Hey, we're not growing enough food for ourselves in our own country, let's go take over HALF of another country (for free!), hack down its native vegetation and plant....corn! Aren't we smart!"

Unfortunately, many of the commercial gutloading products (wet or dry) are more of a maintenance diet for feeders. They don't get a chance to fill up with all the good nutrients that your chams need and can get from feeders that have been gobbling up tasty veggies and fruits. Kenya and I use a...

The stinkier their droppings are, the more likely it is they are harboring bacteria and other wee (internal) beasties, too.

Okay, this is unrelated to the question at hand, but....the subject had ALL kinds of weird images popping up in my mind. :eek: I would agree about the hemipenal bulge, but not so much on youngsters

I don't have any guesses as far as locale goes, but I'm curious about these assorted boxes (ass't = assorted, right?). Do some breeders just take a bunch of babies of unknown lineage, pop them in a box, and sell to whoever happens by wanting a cheaper panther? :confused:

Panthers can be gorgeous, it's very true, but a veiled would typically be much cheaper and is often considered a good starter chameleon. They can be quite pissy when older, though, even if you might have a very sweet juvenile to begin with.

If you've already been giving her a supplement several times a week that contains D3 your vet should not be recommending another one with lots of D3. Several times a week is already overdoing it....too much of it is a bad thing and can cause her further problems.

:O Nuuu, you don't know me! ...>_> Hey.
