Have you guys seen the wild CITES import quotas updated yesterday for 2014? C. parsonii is listed at 300. So who is working on getting these in the US?

Amazing, what dedication! If only everyone of us was as dedicated and persistent over that many years we could have a lot more bloodline to go around.

This is a close up of T. werneri female.

ok I am on the no mice team. I decided to remove mice and stick to insects even on future imports. Old tricks are hard to give up, but after reading more on potential issues, the potential problems seem to outweigh the gains. Also with dusting and gut-loading of dubia or hissers, I think I can...

Just out of curiosity, how did you do the panacur? I ended up doing a first, I measured out and dabbed on the backs of crickets, then fed them out. Mine eats out of a large feeder with 100% reliability so that made it easy. I hope it is this easy on future imports.

Melleri treatment plan w pics So after some discussions here, reading up and with a history of doing this on other reptiles/amphibians in the past, I decided to go with this shotgun medication and import recovery plan. Figured with all the troubles of this species we should share as much as...

I would also add, something to catch water at the bottom so you can mist heavily without worrying about water on the floor. They like and need frequent drinkings (not just misting the cage) a day. Also, keep an eye on him/her with the fake plants, my recent readings have documented them eating...

Thanks Carl, What temps are you at? I am going to set up my Chameleon room with a max high of maybe 72F and low of 60F and use ceramic heaters for those that like it a bit warmer. Then use misters/drippers.

Awesome! Good luck on the good ones.

Was it in San Diego outside? If not, do you know any details? These guys seem to like it really cool and humid, but seems like San Diego might get too hot a lot of the time in Summer.

@Cait0420 Let me know it it works, I had a very aggressive firewall on that server, and made a few changes. Should work now.

Really? They show up on my computer. Is there a host everyone uses here, because I added them to my personal server (shaneofalltrades.com). I checked logged out in Firefox as well and they showed up. Can not check IE though. WAIT, I just remembered, my server blocks a lot of IP's outside of US...

The female / believe she lost the horn (not the horn-less locale)... Above shot, looks like she is ready... The male... male drinking... They did a LOT of drinking (distilled water), misted on the leaves. Is anyone working with these guys?

I expected to hear corn-cob and vita-lites were still in good shape too. Those are old! But nice ones.

I do remember Cheryl Dewitt kept a lot Jackson's in Del Mar, Ca a long time ago. She was in a coastal somewhat lagoon/marsh area that found unusual humidity and temp stability not typical to the rest of San Diego County. Seems like the melleri confirmed locals are in either these type of coastal...

Yes, I was going to say, I have been on top of them when they get the next batch in. They are definitely imports, I would not expect LLL to ever have CB of this species. I would think 3 months old and a proven breeder from the forums is a good buy and worth $300 or more to buy, but if allegedly...

I would guess 1 or 2 is imported babies? Seems like if captive bred, it would be a large group and a big deal.

"Hard to keep" but I used to walk past a dry cage with no live plants and very basic lighting that housed a dozen of these in Escondido, CA when they were not protected. They wanted a lot for them, maybe $100 at the time and stayed brown. But they had them like this for a long time and looked...

Someone claiming a CB melleri tested positive for a virus... https://www.facebook.com/ChameleonRescue/posts/621626301200924 Maybe I will follow up.

I have read the other articles, thanks again. The virus article was very interesting and scary! That would something if true, to have a virus strain that can be deadly and in all imports and passed to offspring.
