Which ban ? Mr Mole got in a shippment last week, some guys from Eastern Europe too. A ban because of a theft via a cargo plane is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Just African authorities can get such an idea...
Well, theres an easy way to avoide this kind of stress: To bring only reserved animals to the fair. Beeing a hobbyiest dont depending on the "reptile income" that's maybe easy to say but thats for me the only reasonable thing to do. If you dont have anything extremely special, theres nearly...
The USA and Europe are probably "consuming" over 70 or more % of all WC chameleons, with little or no effort. So in my opinion we have definitly not any single reason to judge over somebody who can care probably much better for such an chameleon in it's natural habitat then we can ever do in our...
No its probably a very nice specimen of gutturale or occidentale...
If you can keep them in their natural environment I dont know why it should be difficult to keep them wheather its illegal or not
Chamaeleo hoehnelii = very old taxonomy
Chameleo (Trioceros) hoehnelii = old taxonomy
Trioceros hoehnelii = new taxonomy (up to date version ;))
I doubt that you can keep melleri and / or hoehnelii in your room, they need both deep night temperatures, especially the hoehneliis. There are...
Growing moss under terrarium conditions is extremely difficult. Most moss species need an extremely wet environment around them. This works for inhabitants of such environments like salamanders, newts and some frog species, but you need to remember that in those habitats reptiles are often rare...
The food question is in my opinion the only one which can cause problems with larger enclosures. Crickets for example grow very fast if they were not found fast by the chameleon. If the cage is now very big and the chameleon very small, big crickets can be lethal ! So if you cup feed crickets...
Check out local small ads, I think craigslists has some, here in Germany we have for example from ebay a special part just with small ads on fix prices. There it's often possible to get big and healthy plants which lived under normal room conditions. They are not full of different herbicids and...
Some montane species (btw, whats the definition of a montane species ?) will tolerate high temperatures by day but at night you will get definitly problems.
WC animals probably wont survive those high night temps for many days, the chances that CB specimen will do it are higher.
However, if...
Put it in the garbage. In my opinion Scheffleras are just growing under nearly perfect conditions with much light and not much or too less water in an adequate good locking way. Buy some Ficus or Asparagus instead, they store water much better and dont die so fast
