Ahhh...come to the plant master you have! LOL plants are my other passion! This specimen boys and girls is a butterfly gardenia or crepe jasmine commonly and Tabernaemontana divaricata formally. It is over 20 tears old and was my late grandmother's. I knew it from a seedling. Thanks for looking.
Btw if you're not planning on breeding her I read an interesting thread on controlling diet and basking temps to decrease ovulation. Check it out. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-often-do-you-breed-your-panther-females.60141/#post-562105
So glad you're girl's doing well. As for mine she was a bit tired and cranky yesterday but she ate about 5 dusted crickets and I left her alone. Today she's basking and acting normal so hopefully mine and her ordeal is over...lol. I still can't believe how many eggs she had in her tiny little body.
Maybe so... I agree but if the bucket didn't work we were going to the vet today. I'm not gonna let any animal of mine suffer if it's within my power to help.
I know right! But she covered them up and everything...it was weird. That could have been disastrous! Just goes to show you must get to know your animal well and always be vigilant because anything can go wrong.
oh man my ordeal continued till today. She laid a few on the 25th but was still acting weird. I found a loose egg in the cage a new she hadn't finished. I followed your lead and put her in a bucket. Worked like a charm and she finished last night/this morning. 28 eggs in total...wow! How's your...
So I'd like to update this post a bit because something unexpected happened that I'd like to share... So I said she'd laid and she did. 8 eggs and since she's younger that could have been all she laid but I was not sure... she was still restless. Then on the 27th 2 days after the first time I...
I'm not arguing with you. This keeps decending into an argumentative exchange. I'm not interested in continuing it. Thank you for your thoughts and opinions although I never sought advice nor did I state an issue...it was a narrative of my experience and encouraging words for new keepers and...
I've read it and I found it very informative! However I followed her breeders advice that made even more since to me. I know what the "rules" are but they are really just educated opinions. He told me many people will tell you not to breed until they're a full year and I actually questioned him...
You are being really negative and I don't feel the need to justify myself to you any further. You seem to want to find fault with me and she's doing great! The breeder with over 40 years experience that I got her from told me what to do and I did it...all is well...So much for enjoying my first...
Wow...way to jump to conclusions... I researched keeping and breeding for several months before I got my first male and I highlighted the NEW things I'd learned from this forum that I did not find in the 2 books and multiple articles before that. You only half read my post..which in your defense...
Our lovely Queen B laid her first clutch today and boy am I relieved! She was bred to Hulk on October 18th and so when she didn't lay last weekend I started to worry but she was drinking, eating well and passing healthy stools so I watched and waited...giving her lots of privacy. I started...
I hope she does well and congratulations! I know how you've been feeling. My f.pardalis Queen B went a week over the 30 day mark and I've been freaking out! We finally got eggs today too!
