Really nice young spectrum male (< 3"). Has been given panacur and is eating like a hog. Picked him up at a swap four months ago but lost both females, so he really needs to be hooked up with some hotties.
Make me an offer. I'd like to get at least $60 for him. Indiana pick-up would...
I removed two huge eggs from a wc female spectrum shortly after she expired (5Apr...two days after I bought her). As of today, the eggs still do not smell or have any mold. I am hoping they may be viable, but am trying to be realistic.
I read somewhere on here that some guy in Europe...
Looking through some threads, I saw the term "true chameleon" used. I was somewhat taken aback by this and thought I would ask here in the science area what that is supposed to mean, as all chameleons are true chameleons.
If it has fused toes, crazy socketed independantly mobile eyes, and...
The Jacksonii doing a spread eagle in front of a stucko wall is great, but I especially love the one with the chameleon on the stuffed rabbit...AMAZING!
If the cham and bunny would have had matching sleeping caps...I don't believe I could have contained myself. 'Wow' is all I can say.
Thanks very much for your support, Steelhead. Just so anyone who comes into this thread late will have some context, here's the photo. The thread makes no sense without it.
Thank you...God...thank you. I just wanted some acknowledgement of my point. If they leave the rest of my posts alone, I will comment no further.
$50 is a lot of herp supplies...the contest should at least be valid. In it's current form...it is not.
Of the 16 photos that made the final...at least 8 belong to Senior Members, and one to a "Hired Goon" that is a moderator...
When there is $50 up for grabs, you guys could at least pretend to be non-biased.
You can delete my comments all you want...until one of you tries to defend your...
I thought the photos were supposed to show evidence of good husbandry? Not only does this make no sense...in the photo "Zephyr"...the cham looks stressed out of his mind.
Does that display good husbandry? Pissing your cham off for a photo?
This contest is a steaming pile of remanufactured...
Oh yes...composition and image quality were obviously high on the list of criteria in choosing the final 16...
Nice move...just delete all the evidence of crap you can't defend...you guys are pathetic.
Thanks for the advice...I skimmed it long enough to find this:
"I prefer "tall" aquariums (or something around 16"/17" high) especially for Rhampholeon brevicaudatus. My group tends to spend their time in the foliage/branches as opposed to being on the ground, so taller plants are preferred and...
Jessica...it is a Canon 50D, and the glass is a 100mm Macro which I am in love with. Also using a 430EX flash. Getting this shot perfect is gonna take some planning...but I'll get it eventually. I took three such shots this day, and two times he pushed his tongue out like 1/4" then withdrew...
I'll post some pics when I get it put together. My plan is to use an oversized pot and set the plant deep, thereby using the pot walls as his border wall.
Thanks everyone...yeah...I moved him into another room and out of that window. I noticed that he was pretty much avoiding the sun at all times, so moved him into the herp room proper where the temps won't get above 80F, and the sunlight he gets will be late afternoon only and heavily filtered...
You're right...didn't mean to seem touchy. I just found the post mystifying...in this world there are very few Steve Irwins...but there are a buttload of Dr. Brady Bahrs.
Thanks everyone for the kind words on the shot. I have an idea for getting an even better one...but it will take time...
I have been giving myself an education in shooting chams over the last few days, and it is obvious that getting them at full extension is going to be a lot of patient work.
I got this shot this morning...I almost got the cricket in the shot, but it wouldn't have mattered...the composition is...
A bush is an unnatural environment for a small chameleon...that's pretty funny...are you serious?
A 20" ficus just may qualify as a small plant...I'm just going out on a limb here (NPI).
Who said he wasn't moving? He moves all over the place...this plant wouldn't fit in a 20H...
Hi All, First time poster.
I'm an old herper, but this is my first cham. I'm gonna try keepin him on this ficus. It's about 20" tall and gives him/her a lot of space, but I do plan to repot to a larger pot soon to make a more effective ground border. But so far (three days), he doesn't...
