Consider this: If you are using it under the cage, maybe a PVC board could be bought and bent into a "v" shape to allow for drainage out, or make any shape you want out of wood and apply cheap linoleum over the surface. A little more information on how you plan to use this tray (i.e. inside...

Chams can store sperm. Couldn't find anything saying how long, but I think a year is too long. Chances are these are just infirtle. I would imagine if they were going to be fertile they would have been laid a long time ago.

That's hilarious! Coco's thoughts: "I wonder if I hit that pink thing with my tongue if I can pull myself over there to bite him? That'll show him!" Nice pictures!

chamaeleo senegalensis and unfortunately, as common as they are to find, I have yet to see a book specifically on them. My Peppers is in as good of a shape as he is thanks to this forum. A chameleon book might give you ideas, but habitats are so different from species to species and if you...

My bad, I am raising a Senegal and I know for a fact 10 is way too much for him, but he is small. I figured a 4 mo old to be pretty small still. But that's why I said to make sure all my pointers were correct. Thanks for catching it. :x

Might clip his claws. Other than that go for it! I would imagine mantids have lots of moisture and tons of nutrients from eating other bugs.

Trace has got a good point, where you were saying that the cham came to you with eggs, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a big factor in the current health of the babies. With all the stress from moving that the mother went through, I could only imagine what that would do to the eggs... I...

I love how soft he looks. He reminds me of a teddy bear (well without fur). They say Parson's are very docile in nature. How is his attitude? Very nice specimen! Does he curl up at the end of your bed? lol

Most plants have natural enzymes in them to kill bacteria and mold. It shouldn't be a problem, but like you said I would definitely watch out for it. If your cham decides to climb it, the connecting string may be rough on their feet since it will give a little. You could also use it internally...

Welcome to the forums! 10 crickets is a lot of crickets. I would recommend giving him only the amount he eats in one feeding and possibly spreading it out over several feedings (1-2 should be fine though). Also rogue crickets can hide very well. Crickets are basically cockroaches with...

I would recommend separating them. Senegals don't get to be as large as a Veiled. That poor little guy would be down and out so quick in a confrontation that it would probably be over before it even started. Chameleons are very territorial and Veilds can be extremely aggressive towards...

Holy crap that's a crazy story!:eek: Was it the toe or just the nail? How did it happen? I know a lot of reptiles have the ability to cut circulation off to wounds, but I would recommend what others have said and get it checked out. Just one note: Don't use peroxide to help against infection...

I believe that books are very important to follow, but at the same time, the information in them can be flawed. Now I'm not trying to say that these books are worthless, but a lot of the time a well developed forum has honed in a little more than a single writer. A lot of research is done when...

I'm really sorry to hear that your babies are not doing well. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

In my opinion that would be a very hard decision. You would be stopping the chance of some of the chameleons to live and what would happen if the ones you chose didn't hatch? I mean chances are if the ones you have don't hatch then the others wouldn't as well, but gambling on a few eggs could...

So I have found that when purchasing crickets I usually get a hold of a few of these little critters' larvae. I try to remove them as quickly as possible because I tend to find crickets that have been chewed on when they are in the cricket cage, but I had a good idea during this last purchase of...

Hopefully so. Someone with a bit more experience would be a huge help.

Thats pretty handy. I had thought milipedes were omnivorous. It would scare me to keep them with another animal, but they are pretty docile.

From one new member to another. Welcome! Millipedes you say? Ive always thought they were pretty cool. Never thought about one as a pet. Is it an African Giant or something else?

Thanks both of you. I actually have a Pothos growing outside, but it hasn't grown very much and we have owned it for years! I don't take care of it so I imagine that my parents neglect of care has slowed down the process. Does it re-root when snipped? If not, I'll probably be making a trip...
