I feed my roaches pre-made roach chow from gregs exotic roaches. SUPER high in protein and all other essentials. I also offer some kind of fresh fruit/ collard greens or turnip greens daily. I buy silica crystals for water, and when mixed with water, one ounce makes 1 gallon.

I second that. :D

That's exactly what I use. :) How do you guys clean your "beetle" bins without trashing a bunch of nymphs?

Chameleons are omnivores, but many won't eat any vegetation at all. Don't count on your Cham eating anything but insects. Crickets seem to give a great feeding response due to their high amount of movement and high-profile. I can't imagine your Cham will eat anything dead unless it's hand...

Sounds like Wal Mart..... I have a good store near me that competes with Petsmart. My local store just got in a baby male Jacksons today! :D I might have to go for him if nothing catches my eye at the Colombia SC show.

Hey, remember that time I saved your life by fighting off all of those zombies that attacked your house while you were sleeping 4 1/2 weeks ago? And remember how you said that you owe me? I'd like to collect now. ;) Sweet looking Cham!

On a serious note though, congrats!

Now all you need is a female high-translucent veiled, a breeding trio of Nosy Be panthers, I breeding group of Mellers consisting of about 12 animals, a female carpet chameleon and a green anole. What's with the anole? You might ask? There is no reason at all! >:D

Whenever I get tarantulas or small snakes/lizards in the mail, they're in deli cups that are very padded with paper towel, shredded newspaper, or both. Not one problem from a properly padded deli, but I prefer snake bags when possible. No heat issue like stated by another member.

Sorry, I had to add my last cocky comment.:D

Oh yeah, and on top of my wow-factor ;) I'm 15. AP bio's a charm.

My guess about color traits is that it's probably similar to all other colors/morphs out there. There are probably recessive colors, dominant colors, co-dominant colors (Translucent for instance) and such. Different locals of panthers express different colors. Breed two different locals and...

I currently breed leopard geckos, ball pythons and emperor scorpions. I CURRENTLY have the following and will be adding to this collection in two weeks: 2 ball pythons 2 red tail boas (1 coral albino.) 1 Argentine black and white tegu 4 leopard geckos 1 diamondback terrapin 2 iguanas 2...

You are correct. :)

Haha, it's absolutely fine. I think that low end is co-dominant, and high end is a complete dominant form of low end. Now, there very well may be a higher number of genes for pigment in chameleons than boas, and a higher number of alleles of each of those genes too, which is why it probably...

If you bred a high end (you stated it was recessive) to a normal, you would just get Normal het. high end, not low end. That's what leads me to believe translucent is co-dominant, and there's no Punnett square layout for that I don't believe.

Is it possible for you to turn that cage on end? Chams like tall tall tall!

No problem at all. I'm always glad to help whenever I can. There's a lot more to genetics than one would think, so the more we all pool our knowledge the more likely we can figure it out.

It doesn't seem like it was at all your fault if she was given to you with those conditions. And now that you've been through this, I'm sure you'll never let anything like this happen again. I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

Translucent sounds a lot like a co-dominant gene to me. I've got experience breeding boa morphs, not chameleons, but the Hypomelanistic gene in boas is a co-dominant one. Co-dominant X co-dominant= completel dominant AKA super form. Hypo times Hypo = 1/2 super hypo, 1/2 hypo. Super hypo...
