Hopefully you're right, if he ends up looking like Caranthir, I'll be a happy camper. But this is what I'm afraid of. You can get nosy bes like this for half of what I paid for Hawkeye.

Does he ever turn a pale bluish grey? If so, this is when you can see some speckles around his belly easily. When mine fires up, these speckles turn red.

Haha, don't be. I put in the first order on this clutch and therefore requested and got an "early bloomer". Chams mature at different rates so this doesn't necessarily mean mine will look better than yours as an adult. I can tell you this, I'll love my guy either way but I might be a little...

I recently got my nosy be, "Hawkeye," from kammers, he's 3 months old. He comes from a true blue line and his sire has no red and his mothers sire has a few tiny specks around his eyes. Here is a pic of the sire, "Elladan", and then the dame's sire, "Caranthir," and then my little guy. As you...

Refreshing to see a cage with plenty of foliage as opposed to too little. However, I think it could use some more climbing vines up top. Also you. Might want to prune the ficus up top a little to make it a bit better for basking.

If you want a good looking nosy be, I strongly suggest you save a little more and buy from a quality bloodline. I have heard good things about the health of the chameleon companies animals and their business practices, but their bloodlines are a not the best looking IMO.

Looks like he has been born without eyes, I would just euthanize it.

My tiny little nosy be gets mad at my iPhone and puffs up and gapes. kind of funny how brazen he is for such a little thing.

+1 My cham also had this issue when there is too much dust on the feeder. It sort of breaks the suction on the feeder. Try an un-dusted cricket and see how it sticks.

BB's don't take we'll to dusting though do they?

IMO = in my opinion IMHO = In my honest opinion

Can anyone else offer input on this? Because it almost seems like my little guy is already addicted to these, he doesn't seem to like crickets much. It's also much easier for me to handle and feed these than crickets so it makes both of our lives easier.

Just make sure it is getting enough light and IMO, the biggest cause of dead plants in cham enclosures is over-watering from drippers, misting systems or whatever.

I recommend that you harvest live branches off of a tree. Most of the issues you have to watch out for with branches are from things living in dead wood.

In my experience, arboricola is a bit hardier than ficus.

Ficus are supposed to not like too much water, but mine is thriving with my aquazamp spraying directly on it. Mine only dropped a few leaves here and there and I am seeing lots of new growth up top by the lights.

I prefer it over arboricola because its branched structure is great for climbing and the texture of the bark is easier for chams to grip. However, it is a bit finicky, they like to drop and regrow leaves when the environment is changed, for instance, from a greenhouse to a cham cage. Schefflera...

Good choice, my second choice to ficus.

Dracaenas don't have great structure for climbing, so be sure have lats of extra vines to comensate for this. I also heard back from Briana, I'll be PM'ing you about it shortly.

Does anybody know how nutritious adult BSF's are? I know the larvae are supposed to be very nutritious. Can they be used as a staple? Because my little cham absolutely LOVES them, at his age, they are the perfect size for him. If they are not a suitable staple, is there another flying feeder...
