I agree with Jamie...though I haven't tried them myself, I've heard MVB's offer no more benefits than 5.0's and could contribute to overheating. I too just stick to 5.0's and 7.0's. PS...Jamie..LOVE your gorgeous fellow, Archimedes! :)

Wow! Am I ever surprised! Congratulations to Nosferatu & Ra and Jvillereptile and Persus as well! Honestly, there were so many outstanding photos and so many gorgeous animals, I'm very honored...this HAD to be a tough contest! Thank you kindly, Brad for the opportunity...and to all who...

Feeding I have found with my baby and juvie chams, they are gluttons! Babies and juvies will go for anything I put in their cages, 24-7!. But the older they get, the lazier they get. I've found if I feed my adult chams every day, I end up removing crix, worms, mantids, moths at the end of...

Robbie, Obviously, you now know the answer to your question. NO, NO, NO...those chams will not breed and you should not even attempt it. If you do, you really will endanger both, since they are not compatible, and they both will physically defend what little space they share if you put them...

I wouldn't attempt to remove anything until 1) you know exactly what it is and the cause 2) you know you can do so without causing further injury/stress to your little male 3) you get your vet degree! :) Seriously, don't attempt to remove it. If it's a cricket bite, it will probably...

"VegasBilly" may have some of his CB 12-week old babies left...he's advertising at Fauna Classifieds and Kingsnake, I believe Herpetological Breeding Research (herpetologicalbreedingresearch.com) has proven pairs available. There's a vendor I'm not familiar with advertising sub-adult...

You're doing very well to be concerned about his health and well-being. He definitely needs a caring and focused owner! With a little TLC and professional care, he should rebound just fine. Jojoba and Ti tree oil will be good for the patches. I do see, thanks to your additional photos, that...

Silkworms are wonderful treats, as are hornworms. Stay clear of too many mealworms and superworms.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Chamgirl. He doesn't look fine. His skin looks very dry, very wrinkled and very damaged by what I also see as burns. He looks thin and dehydrated. On occasion my chams retain some of their shed for a day or two, but it never turns black or looks like tissue...

I agree that if it is behavior you see frequently and in more than one cham, then something isn't right. How old are they? I see you dust their food with Rep-Cal (Calcium w/D3, I presume) and Herptivite every feeding. My personal opinion is that you may be oversupplementing both the Calcium...

The general rule is they should be at least a year old and healthy. Don't worry about it until then.

She needs to see a vet. If it's hard and cannot curl, it's likely already necrotic and needs attention before infection has a chance to spread. The necrotic part can be easily amputated, if necessary, and providing there are no other complications, the cham can live quite nicely without it...

Obviously you're going to need vines and foliage to mimic an arboreal environment and to provide a cham "highway". Keep the bottom basically empty for easy cleaning. Remember that water sprayed or misted on silk plants/vines evaporates rapidly. Silk or fabric plants are better asthetically...

Reptile Depot Just to relay my own experience with Reptile Depot...good prices, good selection, low shipping cost, but very slow in filling my orders and shipping, and not-so-great customer service. The ficus I ordered was a decent size for the price but was literally half-dead and desert dry...

When you are ready for your cham, Jim Flaherty at the Chameleon Company in Tampa Bay is absolutely your best bet. As has already been pointed out, research and preparation before acquiring the animal are essential in successful cham keeping. Good luck and welcome to the addiction! :)

I have to agree with Neil & Jonathan. The Kammers at the link Neil provided are quality breeders and in CA. Tyler Stewart at Blue Beast Reptile in Las Vegas is also another guy I wouldn't hestate to purchase from. There are several other top-notch breeders, but those two are the closest to...

Sounds good, so far, Zero.... His cage is fine for now, size wise. Does he have lots of foliage to hide in? What is your hydration/misting schedule? Does he have a dripper? Do you actually SEE him drink? His humidity should be around 50-60% most of the time. What kind of UVB...
